(United Preaa I.Md Wtre.l
Williams Orove. Pa., Aug. 29. -The
opening speech in his ampalgn for the
presidency was muile here today by
Oovernor Woodrow Wilson, the Demi
cratlo nominee, in opening the. annual
meeting of the Pennsylvania state
grange. Wilson's address wua finthusl-
- astically received by the thousands of
delegates here from all parts of tho
state,' who acclaimed him as "the next
president of the United States."
" The Democratic nominee attacked
Robfievelt and the Republican party, as
serting that the Democrats should con
centrate their efforts in Maine, Massa
chusetts, New York Pennsylvania, Nw
Jersey and Ohio. Oovernor Wilson said
- In part;-- - - -
"it Is generally supposed that we are
conducting national business along the
lines laid down by Thomas Jefferson,
but, as a matter of fact, we find that
we have been conducting them along
the lines laid down by Alexander Ham
ilton. BepnbUeaas Follow Hamilton.
"Hamilton believed that the common
run of men had but little qualification;
for such business, asserting that such
matters could only be wisely compre
hended by those who led In commercial
sum! Industrial enterprises. And in our
time the leaders of tli Republican
party have either consciouajy or uncon
sciously adopted his notion.
"They were our trustees, we their
wards, and we took the part Tn cSmmon
life that they planned and directed.
What went on in the meetings" of the
trustees we -ww seldom AUowed ta.,
learn. As a matter of fact we only have
found out by Impertinent Inquiry, coli
gressional investigation and trials in
court). We have not yet got to the enrf
of the Inquiry, but havs found out
enough, how. to make It certain that
we shall have to change the whole
' method and spirit of conducting the
government. ,. .
"' Partnership Scarcely Bsoornlsed.
"It is .hard for a mere farmerto ses
where his partnership is recognized at
all. Low tariff duties have been es
tablished on many products of the farm,
but no one seriously fears that tho
farmers of other countries could sue--icessfully
compete tn the food markets
of the United States with our farmers
at home. f
"Roosevelt has proclaimed himself a
convert to a protective polloy. He said
while he admitted that some duties were
too high, on the whole the policy pur
sued by Republican administrations had
been right. He thought the prize money
which had been received under that sys
tem by the manufacturers of the coun
try was legitimate boodle. The anal
ogy 1b very, very Interesting. Prize
moneys are generally acquired by cap
ture, not by any process of earning, but
Roosevelt says his dVly objection to the
system is that too much of the prize
- money remains In the hands of the of ft.
cers and teo little is distributed to the
jcrew. The point I wish to raise is, from

(United Prt'aa Leaned Wire.)
Washington, Aug. 2'J. Two thousand
American marines and bluejackets will
be mobilized on Nirnragunn territory
next week. Offlclalw of the state de.
partment declared today that this force
would be sufficient to cope with the
situation brought about by the 'opera
tions of General Menu's band of rebels.
Although the order sending the Tenth
Infantry to Corlnto was rescinded at
midnight, it has had a salutary effect.
Acting Secretary of Btate Huntington
Wilson telegraphed President Taft et
Columbus today that the Nlcaraguan
situation was much Improved.
The present plan Is for the blue
Jackets to first reopen the railroad from
Corlnto to Managua, the capital, and
then scatter along its right of way to
prevent the molestation of trains. The
Tenth infantry, lt was announced, would
be held in readiness and would depart
for Corlnto If the situation becomes
critical.
