No Doubt Who Standard Oil i Wants Elected DECLARATION AN OPEN ONE Bryan Swi-ps Through Ohio Wcll I ifldO Makes Auoll.tr Fuucast i on Empire Stale Special to the Evening Review. EW YORK. Oct. 30. Friends of Tuft and Bryun aro today discussng the statement of John D. Rockefeller declaring for Taft. after a summary of "campaign personalities." When asked which of the candidates is his - personal choice for the presidency, Mr, Rockefeller replied: i "It seems to me that when the question is put directly to a citizen as to which candidate he will sup port, he should he manly enough to answer just as directly. Therefore. J will say that I expect to vote for Taft. On comparing Taft personally with Bryan I find that the balance of fitness Is entirely on Taft's side." This statement by Mr. Rockefeller -establishes beyond question where the Standard Oil Influence Is being 'placed in this campaign, as he has : long been at the head of the Stand- : ard Oil. Co. - Bryan Invades Ohio. CLEVELAND, Ohio. Oct. 30. W. J. Bryan today made a flying tour of northern Ohio In a last effort to cap turpSTaft's home state.

"The surface Indications are that Taft will win in New York, and with Now York goes the presidency," says Walter Well man, In the Chicago. Record-Herald this morning. "By the same indi cations ft appears that Chanter will defeat Hughes for governor. There nre features under the surface, how ever, that may create a big surprise. It Is possible, though Improbable, that Bryan will carry New York, and If Hughes wins It will be by a slender majority. Conditions now in New York are like those In 1888, when the republicans won the state for the presidency by 13,000, but lost the governorship by 19,000." HOW DO FOREST FIRES START? What starts these forest fires? This question has been asked over and over "again this summer by read ers of the accounts of the destructive fires which have been raging In all parts of the country. . Campers and locomotives, is the usual manner. Many of the other things which start blazes In the for est are forgotten. It is true that perhaps one-half or three-fourths of the forest fires do begin as a result of the carelessness of some camper, or from sparks flying from locomot ives, but there are a number of' things which set the woods afire. Of the 1355 fires discovered on the national forests last year, all of, which were checked by the rangers before they had burned over fourteen I hundredths of one per cent(14-100 of 1 per cent) of the national forest I area, campers caused 346, while rail-! roads followed next with 273; light ning came next with 176; donkey en gines used in lumbering operations, fourth, with 65; careless brush burn ing by homesteaders clearing land, 34; fires caused by incendiaries and those set by herders and hunters, 30. For more than 400 of the fires the cause is not known. This is not v! TPS we've been treatingeople square strange when it is remembered that a fire may smoulder for days, if the air Is too thick to permit the smoke to be seen at a distance befoie it breaks out when fanned by a wind so as to reveal its presence to the watiht'ul forest officer. While campers caused more fires than locomotives Inst yeur, there are many seasons when the .railroads hold undisputed claim to first place Forest fires started by both aro most ly unnecessary. If campers wouUi exercise euro In starting camp fires and be sure that they are extinguish ed before they are left, and if the railroad companies would use the most modern spark arresters, it is reasonable to think that the annual forest fire loss could be reduced more than one-half. Lightning ranks third among the causes of fires, and, of course, man has no greater responsi bility In this case than to put the fire out as soon as possible after discov ery. Careless brush burning by homesteaders and persons clearing land is said to be the cause of many of the fires which have started this year, particularly those which have swept over the Lake states. The ranger force on many of the national forests have been kept busy fighting fires which, if left to run unchecked, would have done Incal culable damage. By quickening com munication between Important points through the contructlon of telephone lines, and building roads and trails, the national forests have been made more accessible during the past twe years and fire fighting has been great ly facilitated.
