St. Louis, SepL 25. "President
Roosevelt lies," declared William S.
Cowherd, democratic kovernor of
Missouri, today In an Interview giv
en the Star-Chronicle over the phone
from ltichland, Missouri.
Governor Cowherd said "Hoosevelt
shows himself a big liar when he says
that the democrats have $300,000 left
over for financing the present cam
paign from the last. Everybody real
izes that It would be Impossible to
have that much left over from the
last campaign. Hoosevelt lies Just
plainly lies. Realizing thai the de
fiat of Tuft Is ussured the republican
party Is In desperate straights. Roose
velt has unmistakably failed to make
good his charge ami I Inst Haskell.
"I want to say again. That $300.
000 fund story Is made out of whole
cloth. Roosevelt Is trying to make
himself an Issue by injecting hlm
aelf Into this campaign and Is en
deavoring to attiact attention fiom
tho real issue by a mud slinging con
test to elect his protege."
Taft I Better.
Cowherd referred to the statement
given out by State Chairman Wood
ruff of New York after a conference
with the president In which be said
that it was strange such a big amount
should appear In the treasury Just
after Haskell was made treasurer.
The piesident referred to the money,
ns left over from the last campaign.
Chairman Mack of the democratic
committee wired Roosevelt asking an
explanation of the statement, but
Roosevelt Ignored the message. !

mission to the effect that the rate
hearing which was to have been held
In this city September 2Sf has been
postponed until later in the fall. The
date set proved to bo Inconvenient
both for the district attorney and at
least one member of the commis

hearing at some later date.
This was to have been tho tlmo
when the question of the proposed
reduction in freight rates on grain
should bo taken up. Representatives
of the farmers have their evidence
ready to present, but it Is not believed
that the postponement of tho hearing
will at weaken the case of the grow

The hearing which was to have been

so postponed and will probably be
about the same time as the Pendle
