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-

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

defeat Hughes for governor. There

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.
