KEEPS HIS CAMPAIGN PLEDGE Acts as Governor of All the People of the State. WOODRUFF HAS GIVEN UP Seeing Uselessness of Trying to Dic tate Appointments, He Goes to Europe Parsons Jarred by I.eary's Success. NEW YORK. Feb. 2. (Special.) That Governor Hughes is running an absolutely bossless administration was emphasized today when Timothy 1 Woodruff, enalrman of the Republican state committee, officially announced thiit ho was going to Europe. "There does not seem to be anything here that requires my personal atten tion at the present time," he said, and he never smiled. Woodruff realizes that his . word carries absolutely no weight at Albany and, like a prudent man, he Is going away, dismally hop ing that "absence will make the heart grow fonder." It was a political secret, carefully and obtrusively circulated, that Wood ruff only took the state chairmanship after having been assured that the first vacancy in tiie United States Sen ate would belong to him. But should Thomas C. Piatt or Chauncey M. Ie pew die nobody in the state now be lieves that Mr. Hughes would name Mr. Woodruff as his successor. For Air. Hughe;! does not like Mr. Wood ruff personally, nor does he trust him politically, and he is thoroughly con vinced that he would have carried Brooklyn last Fall had It not been for the fact that the former Lieutenant Governor Is mightly unpopular among his neighbors. In which opinion, It might be added, the rank and file of his party heartily agree with the Gov ernor. Ituns Machine Himself. Ever since Mr. Hughes took office the uninformed press has written more or less about, the "private wire between the Governor at Albany and the Presi dent at the White House." The truth of the matter is, as one State Senator confessed today, "the Governor is run ning the whole blamed machine him self and nobody can stop him with a red light or an ax." County Chairman Herbert Parsons, leader of New York County, was told by the Governor that he would not ap point Lewis Swazey as Superintendent of Elections. Mr. Parsons scurried to Washington, and then hastily back tracked to Albany. "The President," he said to the Gov ernor, "does not think William ieary is a good man for the Job." Mr. Hughes smiled, that sadly lrank smile that has already worried and mystified the poli ticians. "I am so sorry," he said. That was in the morning. The same evening he sent Mr. Leary's nomina tion to the Senate. Mr. Leary was confirmed and is now hard at work. Perhaps young Mr. Parsons, who is a Congressman, misrepresented the President. Perhaps he did not. Any way Mr. Hughes clearly Indicated that, as he is the man who Is responsible for appointments, he intends to be the "court of final resort'" himself. Governor for All the People. Though the office of Superintendent of State Elections Is not one 'of the larger state positions, and Its occu pancy by any particular man is not re garded as of great importance, the flat, though polite, refusal of the Governor to accept dictation from the fountain head of Republican authority, is be lieved to be of superlative interest and significance. The few men who have learned of the episode say that it proves beyond question or cavil many things and It disproves with equal cer tainty many other things. They say that among the things proved are, first, that Charles Evans Hughes has taken the word of the people of New York State that they wish him to be Gov ernor, and that his own Judgment, and not that of another or group of others, is his court of last resort. Second, that he does not intend his appointments to be humlliative for Mr. Woodruff or Mr. Parsons or the Wadsworths, or anybody else; and, third, that he is not Intentionally building a machine for himself or strengthening the machine of another. In other words, he is lit erally carrying out the programme which he laid out for himself during the campaign, to be the Governor, not of a faction or a party, but of all the people of the Empire State. Machine Men Can't Believe. Of course -you cannot make Mr. Woodruff or Mr. Aldrldge or Mr. Hen dricks or Lou Payn or any of the other powerful leaders believe this. They are one and all confident that the Governor is building a political machine of his own and each and everyone of them wants to get on the band wagon. S they have paid many visits to Albany and devoted hours to explaining to the Governor how the appointment of John Doe or Richard Roe would strengthen the party In their particular localities, and Mr. Hughes has listened to one and all, patiently and with courtesy, and then gone ahead and named the man- he thought best fitted for the office. So the little politicians are in a state of bewilderment, and the big politicians are In a state of mental anguish, and not one of them has yet been able to size up the big solitary man at Albany, who has nothing to say, but quietly does big things that he thinks are for the good of the people. Charles Evans Hughes has not yet said one unpleasant thing about any Republican politician, and, what Is more Important, he has not yet done one thing that, these same politicians heartily indorse. Mr. Woodruff is the first one of the crowd to "got wise" to the situation. And, to save his dignity. Is going to Europe. His associates, however, are still visiting Albany at intervals, dancing attendance on a Governor whom they do not under stand, but who has carefully appraised each and every one at his true value. Should AH Go to Europe. If Mr. Woodruff had any real love for hl3 associate leaders In the Repub lican party, he would Induce them to Join him on his trip to the Holy Land, or wherever it may be that he is bound. But Mr. Woodruff is absolute ly lacking in political affection or humor so he will sail away in soli tary, sulky dignity, and wonder how It Is the party t an got along without him. And In the meantime Charles E. Hughes will do the i-arvliiK at the Capitol In Albany, and there will be little or nothing served out to the "regulars." Kvcrythinpr considered, Timothy Ifc Woodruff is the wisest machine Republican in New York iftatc. I"or a carefree life on the ocean wave beats helpless, hopeless political panhandling at Albany. OMAHA AFTER COAST TRADE Trainload of Business Men Will Visit Portland in June. OMAHA, Neb.. Feb. 2. (Special.) Omaha manufacturers and Jobbers have determined to make special effort to in crease their trade territory in the North west. For the past several years the members of the Manufacturers' and Job bers' Association, commonly known as the Commercial Club, have been making trade-boomins excursions throughout the territory within a few hundred miles of Omaha. At a recent meeting of the trade extension committee of the afvoeiaiton, it thus decided to make but one excursion tills year, and that to cover the terri tory reached by the Durllngton und the Northern Pacific railroads in the North west. Two weeks will be required to make the trip, and every town of conse quence on the route as far' West as Port land' will be visited. The outgoing trip will be made over the Burlington and Northern Pacific, and the return over the Union Pacific and Oregon Short Line. The difference in distance from Omaha to points on the Northern Pacific and from 9t. Paul to same points is less than a mile. Omaha business men believe that If the right methods be adopted much business can be gained that now goes to St. Paul, Minneapolis, and other commer cial centers. For some years a number of Omaha houses have been regularly sup plying goods to merchants of the North west, and some of the larpe dry-goods houses have branches In Pacific Coast cities. The trip will be made In June, and about 100 of the business men, the man agers of houses, will accompany the train, which will consist of a number of palatial Pullman cars. JUDGE UPBRAIDS PRISONER In Passing Sentence on Murderer, He Denounces His Character. HELENA. Mont., Feb. 2. Edward P. Mason, a dishonorably discharged sol dier, was found guilty this afternoon in the Federal Court of killing Riley L. Huff, September 11 last, at Fort Assinl boine, and was sentenced to 10 years in the penitentiary at Deer Lodge. Judge Hunt said In part: "I wish to say I never, during the time I have been sitting on the bench, saw a more depraved individual while on trial than you. You are a gambler. Your asso ciates have been harlots and lewd women. You are a perjurer and confessed to com mitting larceny." Huff was found dead in his quarters at the post four days after the commis sion of the crime, with his head crushed In. Later his watch was found on Ma son. The evidence was purely circum stantial. Mason's father is a prominent commis sion merchant in New York. HERETIC IS FORCED OUT Cincinnati Preucher Too Liberal in His Views to Suit Bishop. CINCINNATI, Feb. 2. Rev. George Clark Cox. rector of Calvary Church of this city, last night resigned. His ac tion is due to the resent letter of Bish op Boyd Vincent, in which the latter condemns the utterances of Mr. Cox as heretical. After the appearance of the letter of the bishop, Mr. Cox's support ers advised him to resign. The Cox case came to public notlco through an open letter from tne clergy man to Bishop Vincent, which was pub lished in the Living Church, in which Mr. Cox avowed Ills disbelief In the Immaculate conception, bodily resur rection and other vital doctrines of the church. Shortly afterward an Informa tion against Mr. Cox, charging him with heresy, was filed with the stand ing committee of the diocese. Upon the failure of the committee to find Mr. Cox liable for trial, the bishop wrote to the church chronicle, express ing his opinion on the matter. Witness in Townsend Case. NEW YORK. Feb. 2.
