HIGH PRICES DISCUSSED People of United States Declared to Bear Greater Burden Than Those of Other Countries. Dix in Conference. ' SYRACUSE, N. Y., Sept. 12. Gov ernor Wilson discussed the tariff here today at the State Fair, before the largest crowd that has yet gathered to hear him in his Presidential cam paign. We have tne right to look to our ' 3overnment," he said, "not to support us. but to remove the obstacles o our individual self -support. "They say prices have risen all over the world. Yes, they have, and they have risen faster and higher in high tariff countries than in low tariff coun tries. We do not have to have very much brains to read statistics and statistics are open to every man which show that the United States is burdened with the cost of higher living as no other country in the world is, and i there must be something special in ) the United States which makes it true. Price of Mea( In Illustration. I "Take the" price of meat for in stance. It has gone up 30 to 40 per ! cent in ten years in this country and the price of American meat has not gone up a fraction of a cent a pound - in London markets." 4 The Governor referred to the circular letter revealed at the trial of the meat packers in Chicago, in which appro priate prices for meat were suggested, and. he said, "with a gentility unsur passed in the history of business etiquette, the suggestion was always accepted." The Governor referred to- the tarin as a "malignant growth that required a surgical operation." " . Political Surgery Suggested. "If I am a surgeon and you are a sufferer, will I see that your declining years are made happy?" he asked. "I will perform an operation, but I will not cut a single tissue that is wholesome. The man who does not propose to cut the deadly thing out is a quack and not a surgeon. Don't let the quacks deceive you." Governor Wilson arrived with Acting Chairman McAdoo, of the National Com mittee, and Norman E. Mack. The party went to a hotel, where they met Governor Dix. The Governor has not changed his attitude. "I am a candidate." he said today, "and expect to be renominated and re- elected." It is known, however, that some up state leaders, oppose Governor Dix. Photographers Are Outwitted. As Governor AVilson left the stand after speaking today the photogra phers halted him. He hesitated a mo ment and Governor Dix, Charles F. Murphy, Senator O'Gorman and others grouped themselves around him. "Take the rest of the group." said Governor Wilson to the photographers and hurried into the clubhouse - The Governor did not say that he would come back and the photograp phers snapped the others. The nom inee motored back to town to address the conference of Democratic county chairmen. VOLCANIC ACTION SHOWN Hawaiian Lecturer Entertains Many at Y. M. C. A. Local Views Taken.

The Indians of the district are in a state of panic and are keeping close to their homes as the result of .the report that a "windigo," or cannibal' Indian is abroad in the bush. The terror is not iniirh nf the ohvsical harm which may result from a meeting with the man but it is a survival of the old su perstitution which credits Indians who are windigo witn supmuuiu.., Several squaws and their children last Sunday saw a stranger coming along the Grand Trunk-Pacific tracks, near, where they have an encampment. They were alarmed at his appearance and ran to cover. No attempt was made to return to the camp that night, but the next day, accompanied by section men, the Indians returned and found the camp stripped of all vaiuaDies anu food. The intruder had disappeared. Tnfan went "windiiTO" north of Lac Seut some time ago, but later was seen near here. WILLIAM WAKEFIELD DIES Aged Citizen of Lincoln County Was Civil War Veteran.

La Grande, Colonel Roosevelt was on the train all day, traveling across Ore eon into Idaho. La Grande was not on his programme originally, but the Progressive leaders of Eastern uregon sent word to him that people from all Darts of their end of the state were going to the Union County Fair, with the expectation of ' hearing him, and that if he would stop they would pro vide a special train to take him on to Boise. The Colonel once more put aside his resolution to make no extra speeches and consented. Short Talks Given. From La Grande Colonel Roosevelt started eastward again to Huntington, where he spoke for a quarter of an hour from his car. Then he came to Boise. At several points along the line he gave five-minute talks to. crowds at the railway stations. Colonel Roosevelt resumed his Jour ney tonight, after making his speech here. He left for focateno, toano, where he will make an address at noon tomorrow. Later In the day he will speak at Ogden, Utah. Borah Introduces Colonel. Senator Borah Introduced Colonel Roosevelt at tonight's meeting. , "It is well understood by the people of this state." said the Senator, "that I urged the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt at Chicago. I believed tnen and I believe now that had be been nominated the Republican party would have swept the country. "We were unsuccessful at Chicago. It would be nncandid in me to say simply because we were unsuccessful that I have ceased to be his admirer. Colonel Roosevelt is one of the most forceful personalities in the world." Colonel Roosevelt in his speech re cited the circumstances which he said Induced him to enter upon a campaign for the Presidential nomination and gave his reasons for breaking away from the Republican party. As Colonel Roosevelt made each point he turned to the Senator and said smilingly to the audience: "Ask Senator Borah." in conclusion, he said: "The man who Is acquainted with the facts in regard to the theft of the Re publican nomination and who does not condemn It is sinning against tne ngni, is putting a premium on dishonesty, and lias a seared moral sense. COLONEL BESET BY TAFT CAMPAIGNERS Harlan and Bede Take Trail at La Grande and Open Running Fire. T. R. ASSERTIONS ARE MET Chicagoan Asks Roosevelt If He Is Elected if He Intends to Dismiss Harvester Trust Suit of Taft Administration. LA GRANDE, Or Sept. 12. Presl dent Taft's campaign for re-election had its first direct encounter with Theodore Roosevelt's Western tour here tonight. John Maynard Harlan, of Chi cago, and son of the late Associate Judge Harlan, of th United States Supreme Court and ex-Representative Bede, of Minnesota, opened fire on the Colonel before an enthusiastic audi ence, and started the warfare which is scheduled to continue across the Rocky Mountains and Pacific Coast states for the next two weeks. Mr. Roosevelt's morning address here was made to a very large audience and Mr. Harlan and Mr. Bede took ad vantage of every opening which the Colonel's speech offered. In emphasizing the weakness of the Bull Moose line of battle. Colonel Is Questioned. Mr. . Harlan made a vigorous reply to the Roosevelt charges of "stolen delegates" at Chicago, with an account of the sham contests, which tne Koose- velt forces had filed in an effort to prevent President Taft's nomination. Then he took up tne Kooseven "anti trust" programme, with an open chal lenge to the Colonel. "If you are elected," he said, "do ou intend to dismiss the suit brought against the Harvester trust by the Taft administration?" The activities of George W. Perkins as Roosevelt's financial supporter and campaign man ager came in for particular attention. A reference to . Colonel Roosevelt's declarations concerning the freedom of his new party from bosses. Mr. Harlan pointed to the record of "Old Bill" Flinn. of Pittsburg, and of other "for mer bosses" now in the Bull Moose camp. Mr. Bede attacked Roosevelt s de parture from the RepuBlican party. The audience heard keen satire, by Mr. Bede. "Even here in the pure air of tne Northwest, which invites truth-telling," said Mr. Harlan, "Mr. Roosevelt has dared to reiterate that monstrous false hood that President Taft, as the nom inee of the ReDubllcan party for re election, is the receiver of stolen goods. Mr. Roosevelt knows that this cnarge Is not true, but it serves his purpose of villiflcation and so he repeats it over and over again, to any audience that will listen to his words. T. R.
