Harvey Wiley, the man who foment to prevent the food from eolleitlac aa annual toll of 1,000.000 Americas has deprived the Roomevelt sunnortera of another great block of campaign capital. Roosevelt been portrayed aa the father and champion of pure food Icplslatlon. Wiley, who, as head of the federal bureau of aanitatlon and health, made the light for pure food leglMlatlon and enforcement, Rooaevelt waa neither father nor champion. He aeesiiea Rooaevelt of respas- for the appointment of the Remnen referee board which so nearly defeated the of the pore food laws. Is a letter to Mm.

Daniels Thompson ot New York, who Is In California with Mrs. Robert M. I.a Follette, Wiley aaya he knows nothing of any assistance civen by Roosevelt. Here la his letter: Mrs. L.

C. Daniels Thompson. 490 Riverside Drive, New Madame: In answer to your question: Roosevelt may have given assistance in the passage of the pure food bill, but not to my knowledge. He never consulted me about it, and, as far as I know, never mentioned it but once, in a message, and then only in a perfunctory way. lam certain he had nothing to do with its preparation, as I was present with the committee when the final draft of the bill was perfected, and was with the committee in all the years that the pure food bill was considered.

Any suggestion on the part of Mr. Roosevelt in connection with the measure never came to my notice. suggest, however, that you write to Mr. J. C.

O'Laughlin, correspondent for the Chicago Tribune in Washington, who was intimately associated with Mr. Roosevelt, and who has told me that Roosevelt was very active in securing the final passage of the bill. Ido not know, however, in what direction. do not know the inside history of the appointment of the Remsen referee board. I have been told that it was begun by direction of President Roosevelt.

The appointment of this board came near paralyzing the whole law. and knocked a hole in it so big that it has never yet been stopped, and will not be as long as the Remsen board exists. The appointment of the Remsen board was solely In the interest of the worst kind of maufacturers. Remsen claims to have been the discoverer of saccharin. Saccharin is one of the things to the referee board.

Professor Chittendon had written a scientifi paper showing that borax was not harmful to a dog. Professor Taylor of California represented a locality bitterly opposed to me on the subject of the use of fumes of burning sulphur. That was one of the things referred to the Remsen board. I do not know of any way you could get a copy of the letter Senator Heyburn has, except by asking him for it. I was present when he read the letter he had written to the president asking for a report, and I heard him read the president's reply that the matter was not of sufficient importance to warrant it being mentioned in a message.

I supposed that these things would come out in the record, but Senator Heyburn had them eliminated. I am, respectfully, H. W. WILEY. SUMMER TRAIN SCHEDULE SUNDAY Number of Innovations Made by Northwestern Pacific R.

LAFOLLETTE TALKS TO OAKLAND CROWD Three Thousand Hear Appeal for Votes at the Macdonough Theater Candidate Is Tired After Hard Campaign Trip Through Napa Valley I OAKLAND, Msjfy Addressing a crowd of more than' 3,000 eager jnen and women that filled every seat in tha Macdonough theater long before the meeting opened, Senator Robert La Follette delivered his appeal for votes based upon principle and conviction to the most enthusastic political audience that has gathered in Oakland since the beginning of the presidential campaign. The candidate arrived late and tired from a long. hard campaign trip through the Napa valley, from" Callstoga to Vallejo, but the enthusiastic reception accorded him cheered him instantly and he made an eloquent, forceful address. Immediately afterward he left for Bakersfield and San Diego, where he will speak tomorrow, returning to San Francisco in time to make a vigorous windup of his campaign on Monday. A.

JOHNSON OPENS MEETING Albert Johnson, a nephew of Governor Johnson, opened the meeting. He fktyed the governor for what he called his base and treacherous desertion of the Wisconsin candidate and praised Da Follette as the only true progressive in the field for the republican nomination. He charged that the state administration had used its patronage shamelessly in support of Roosevelt. La Follette commenced his address by asking his audience to cast aside any prejudice' that might exist him personally and listen to his cause. His main theme was the high cost of living, which he said can only be lessened when the monopolistic power of the trusts Is taken away by enforcement of the Sherman law.

When he charged that Theodore Roosevelt is directly responsible for the trust evil and the attendant problems that now confront the American people, there was a sharp volley of applause for the former president. Da Follette stepped quickly to the front of the stage and pointed his finger In the direction whence came the first hand clapping. "I'll -make you ashamed of that applause Inside 10 minutes," he shouted, "or I will. If you have the intelligence to understand what I say. It's a pretty cold day when any band of men can be organized successfully to take a meeting away from me.

There are not enough of you, and there wouldn't he enough if you filled every seat in the house." The deafening applause that greeted his defiant declaration silenced the counter demonstration, and thereafter mention of Roosevelt's name met with silence or laughter. SENATOR TALKS FROM AI TO Early this morning La Follette left Santa Rosa in an automobile, speaking to large audiences at Caiistoga, St. Helena, Yountvllle, Napa and Vallejo before reaching this city. At the soldiers' home in Yoantville a Roosevelt meeting had been scheduled with Albert Elliot of Oakland as- the speaker, but the La Follette party arrived first, and the senator and his campaign aid, Gilbert E. Roe, were given the platform, which they held for more than an hour.

They were warmly received by the old soldiers. Walter Houser, national campaign manager for Senator La Follette, left last night for Ohio, where he -will be followed by the senator next Tuesday. Before he departed Houser issued the following statement on the campaign in California: am convinced that there has been a decided change in the situation in California since Senator La Follette came here to campaign the state. If he does not carry the state It will be because he has not been able to cover the territory sufficiently to get in touch with enough of the voters. Those who have heard him have been convinced of his sincerity, his courage and his thorough mastery of the questions involved in the campaign, and that he Is fit for the presidency.

I believe that he will win." Heney at Sacramento Dispatch to The SACRAMENTO, May J. Heney, speaking before a crowd which filled the Clunie theater here this evening, charged Senator La Follette with deserting the progressive cause. He said that In September. 1911, La Follette told him in Washington that If I Theodore Roosevelt should become a candidate for the presidency he (Senator La Follette) would support him. Heney says that the statement was made in the presence of Meyer Lissner, H.

W. Brundldge of Los Angeles, Chester Rowell of Fresno ami others. Heney found a number of La Follette supporters In his audience and each mention of the senator's name brought forth applause. Heney paid a high tribtrte to the Wisconsin man and said that next to Roosevelt he is the biggest man in the country. Heney said he is supporting a cause and not a man and that Folletfe, In pursuing his candidacy in California, is injuring the cause for which he stands.

Roe Talks at Berkeley BERKELEY. May Gilbert' E. Roe, former law partner of Senator Robert M. La Follette, told 500 persons at. the Berkeley high school auditorium tonight that if they were progressive republicans their duty was to vote for the Wisconsin candidate, because La Follette was the one man who has been, consistently a progressive.

Roe accused Roosevelt of inconsistency. He declared that Governor Johnson and others of the progressives had deserted the La Follette cause and had not given a good reason for tbe desertion. C. H. Davis, secretary of the Berkeley La Follette club, was the first speaker.

ENTHUSIASTIC AUDIENCE GREETS TAFT ORATORS An enthusiastic audience that taxed the headquarters of the Women's Taft club at 132 Kearny street to capacity heard able addresses yesterday afternoon by Captain W. T. Helms of Los Angeles and Dr. Anita Newcomb Mc- Gee of Berkeley. Captain Helms made an extended address, during which he discussed the difference between policies and the principles of government.

He chlded i the so called progressives for seeking to plunge headlong into new things without first establishing the merits of their propaganda. He paid a high tribute to President Taft for his great sagacity and told how the president had maintained the principles of government and carried out the platform pledges of the republican party. Doctor McGee gave a very effective talk in behalf of President Taft and insisted that he was entitled to a second term because of his excellent record as the nation's chief executive. There will be another meeting at 3 o'clock this afternoon, at which other speakers will discuss the issues of the campaign. Horrific Marine Monster Encountered Off Alcatraz Fishermen Fail to Hurl The Harpoon Into Sea Serpent Two Italian fishermen had a thrilling adventure yesterday the bay with a marine monster they described, When they arrived, pale and trembling, at Meiggs wharf ag being feet long, possessed of 47 eyes, a big horn, a great mouth and a breath like an automobile.

Realizing the necessity for greater activity to follow up the signal victory in the house yesterday, when the Humphrey amendment restoring the appropriation for the San Francisco mint was carried, members of the California delegation, having in mind the fact that the r.a-jority vote of 31 was not a record one, and the threat of Representative Mann to force a rollcall on every disputed item In the appropriations bill, worked earnestly among the republicans today.

Of the 115 who were against the mint 11 were republicans and 104 democrats.

Practically the solid republican vote was In favor of the San Francisco mint, and with a minority of the democratic side made victory certain.

VOTERS ATTENTION We have given Roosevelt and Taft eleven years in which to solve the serious problems that confront the plain people of 2 I this nation and they have both failed.

During their adminis- 4 tration the trusts have multiplied until every important industry, 4 I and the money power as well, is under the control of a few men. 4 The cost of living has constantly increased until the burden 4 placed upon the plain people has become unbearable. Roosevelt and Taft have both given proof during the last I eleven years that they lack the ability to make your fight against i special privilege, or else they have knowingly served those interests. Do not waste your vote by voting for either Roosevelt i lor Taft. Never, in the history of national conventions, did the nomination go to either of two candidates who conducted cam- I paigns in every state; the split in the party such a campaign 1 brings about makes it impossible to elect either.

Neither Roose- velt nor Taft will be nominated at Chicago, because neither can Ibe elected by their party. The campaign each has made against 4 I the other has divided the party into two hostile camps, neither 1 of which can be brought to the support of their candidate's 4 I opponent. La Follette has given proof in Wisconsin of his ability to cope with our problems in a rational and just way. Vote for La Follette on May 14th and he will make your 4 fight in national affairs and protect the interest of all the people.
