In another telegram to R. S. Lovett,

"We desire to give notice through
you to the rallroad interests of this
nation that the organised farmers
will fight any increase in freight
rates that may be attempted in set-
tlement of the present labor contro-
versy. If the owners of the railroads
want to give their employee an in-
crease In wages from present reve-
nues that is their business, but if the
increase in wages is to be given
through an increase in freight rates,
that is our business.

FORT WORTH, Texas, Aug 25.--
Following his telegram of Wednes-
day to President Wilson agreeing
that eight hours should constitute a
working day and urging settlement of
the present labor controversy by ar-
bitration, Henry N. Pope, president
of the Texas Farmers union today
wired President Wilson and also the
railroad presidents protesting against
the suggested increase in freight
rates. The telegram to President
Wilson said:
“We ask that you make no con-
cessions or commitments that will in
any manner influence an increase in
freight rates on products produced or
consumed on the farm.
» “The men who pay the freight
have an equity in thia dispute which
neither the railway trainmen nor the
railroad managers have authority to
represent if it is your intention
personally dispose of the matter we
ask that you postpone further con-
sideration until a committee of farm-
ers can prepare information and data
to present their side of the case.

In building the Royal, we have profited by the

That the community singing at
Wooldridge park at the concualon of
the municipal band concert Friday
night was an unquauitied suceess wae
the verdict of the men, women and
children present. It proved conclus-
ively that Austin people can sing and
will eing, and from the opening atrains
of "My Old Kentucky Home” to the
last notes of “Old Black Joe," the sing-
ing was thoroughly entered Into by all,
old and young. Four or five thousand
people were present, according to an
estimate by Mayor Wooldridge, and all
seemed to enjoy the splendid muelc by
the municipal band under the leader-
ship of William Besserer,
After the concluston of th* band
concert Mayor Wooldridge came to
the front of the band platform and
announced that community singing
would be the next on the program. He
requested everyone to sing, to "Bing
like the Dicken*." he said, and every:
one did sing and sing heartily and
from every part of the park.
Several well known local vocalists
came to the platform and led the Bing-
ing. but Boon their voices mingled with
those of the vast crowd and the nine-
ing was general.
"My Old Kentucky Home" was ths
first selection, followed by "Old Folke
at Home" and the community singing
concluded with "Old Black Joe.” The
plaintive old-time melodies atruck a
responsive chord in everyone’e heart
and to the older citizens th* "old
songs” brought back memores of th*
past.

was a success In every way. As yet

CHEYENNE, Wyo. Aug. 19-
Charl** E. Hughe* Friday spread th*
gospel of a protective tariff acrons th*
atate of Wyoming. Tonight he le asleep
aboard his train which will pull out at
1:49 tomorrow morning for Denver.
Rawline. Laramie and Cheyenne—
the three points where speeches were
mads during the day—each accorded
the candidate a good reception.
Efficient campaign management
might have whooped things up a llttl*
more, but though National Chairman
WiIcox ciassed the stat* aa duubtful.
it la generaily conceded that on na-
tional insues Wyoming will go repub-
lican. probably by 1999 plurality.
The G. O. P. stand* a good chance
of losing a United States senator here,
however, for the democratic governor,
John B. Kendrlek, I* in the saddl
against C. D. Clark, the twenty-year
associate of Senator Warren and there
Ie every indication that Kendrick will
win out.
Wlleon carried Wyoming in 1911
by a plurality of 750 votes, polling a
total of 19,119 to Taft's 14,999 and
Rooseveit’s 1999. That year Kendrick,
who, beginning in the senate ae a cow-
boy, has amassed a million in the cat-
tle business and I* the moot popular
man in the atate, contested the sen-
atorship with Warren and waa defeated
in the legislative contest by eight votes,
though ho had a majority of the pop-
ular vote.
Then in the 1114 campaign, Ken-
drick ran tor governor on the demo-
cratic ticket and was elected over H.
S. Ridgely, the republican candidate,
the vote standing: Kendrick, 23,387;
RIdgley. 19,174. There was no pro-
gressive ticket in the field that year.
Thia year, for the first time, a
United states senator will be elected
in thia state by popular vote and all
the signs point to Kendrick’s succesa
There are some enthuxiasts who pre-
dict that Kendrick may carry Wlleon
along with him to victory, but Wyo-
ming ie a great sheep country and 10
demanding a restoration of the high
tartt on wool. Moreover, the old pro:
greesive element to pretty souldly lined

Ao a matter of tact, the lack of en-
thusiasm here in thia atate, at least,
is ons of ths guarantees that Wyoming
has made up its mind. People on the
atreet talk aa though it was all over.

afternoon. Mr. and Mrs Hughes rest-

"Some time ago my akin began to
break out in little ptmples. These
filled with water, and when they
opened the watery fluid ran out and
spread the trouble until my entire
body from my face to my foot waa
covered. The itching wae something
terrible, and I would scratch until ths
blood came, and my akin would feel
as it it were burning. I tried a pro-
scription and several kinds of naive,
but nons helped me. After I had sut-
tered this way for about 14 or 1>
months I tried Resinol Ointment and
Resinol Boap. and the first application
relieved me so that I sispt that night
in six weeks I was cured.” (Signed)
