House That Exonerates Vlce-PresI
- dentlal Candidate W. IL Andrew,
. Now of New Mexico,' Fathered the
Project News Leaks Out by State
ment 'of Senator's Secretary.
' Washington, Oct,'. 18. Regarding
the New Mexico land deal alleged to
have been a scheme to secure valuable
timber lands for almost nothing, Wll
Ham F. Wright, secretary of ths late
Senator Quay- of Pennsylvania, made
a statement throwing a curious siae
light on the bill, which he declares
were traded for the New Mexico state
hood bill. Wright said:
'"The report that Sherman was the
author of the timber bill Is wrong.
The real author la W, H. Andrews, now
territorial delegate from Ne Mexico.
Andrews entered into an agreement
with Sherman and other members ot
the house of representatives Involving
the transfer of an option on timber
land which he held. He surrendered
his option on the lands conditionally.
: "One of the terms of the agreement
was that the New Mexico 'statehood
bill was to pass congress. Matters
eventually went bad for Andrews, as
the statehood bill scheme was blocked
In, the senate. In the meantime it
looked as though, the bill had. already
pa.4ied the ; house, , making grants oi
lands which would pass the senate, re-
suiting In Andrews losing his option."

"Ohio Is close with a chance for
either Bryan or Taft to get a verdict
by a slender plurality, or else it will
be Bryan by a landslide.
"If the vote had been takenthree
weeks ago the state would have gone
for Bry&it, but during the last tort
night the republicans have gained in
strength and they feel hopeful. Th?
democrats are certain they will w'ri
the state for the national ticket, but
there are many uncertain elements to
contend with. The moat probable out
come is a close election like the In
