The Payne tariff law has reduced on an average rate of duty of 11 per cent and turned a ' deficit , Into a surplus.

Senator Root was made permanent chairman. In a brief speech he said the people would demand the initia tive and referendum and the direct! primary and recommended .the party to endorse them. Roosevelt In Fall Control It Is very plain that Roosevelt will continue to control the convention. The regulars take the stand that if Roosevelt nominates the candidates ke can elect them. This looks like there will be a split that will help the democrats at the fan elections. Hearst Advises Roosevelt Paris, Sept 28 Hearst today said Colonel Roosevelt had scored the ini tial victory but is In danger of having tables turned on him. , He said, "Roosevelt is fighting one f the most corrupt sets of politicians tot he must be rarefnl tint tn fill In tb trap. Referring to Gayhor's refus- 1 to accept the democratic guberna torial nomination Hearst said Gaynor wise in trying to make it appear tat the nomination was forced on ! 1Il5- He probably -will how to tha will of the Party all right" SARATOGA XA GRANDE.

Y., Sept.-28 Deterr mined that harmony shall 'prevail in the " Democratic convention,'- If : they have to fight for it. ihe members'-, of the Democratic League assembled in Rochester today to' hold a session on the eve of the state convention, -The meeting will be similar in character to the Saratoga conference of Sep tember last. 'It Is understood' that the league Is anxious to have the conven tion Incorporate some of Its prin ciples In the platform. Edward M. Shepard, former Judge D. Cady Her rlck and Thomas M. Osborne, "three democratic possibilities for candi dates' for. governor, are members of the league. '';'..'" if ,"S ,y-, Aplrants are Va-ay " Hundreds of democratic politicians and office-seekers are already in the city, and the list of candidates for nominations would fill two or three galleys, if set In agate type. All the aspirants seem to have a "hunch" that this will be a democratic year In the Empire state. Mayor Gaynor con tinues to be the principal topic of con versation. Many prominent democrats believe that a democratic victory can be assured .only 'by nominating the metropolitan mayor. Always pop ular with the Vank and file of demo cratic voters, Gaynor's stock has been greatly boosted because of. the at tempt on his lif.e whtch has put him in the light of a martyr. Hearst a ' Paulo, i; The attitude of-William Randolph Hearst , in the coming .campaign Is also a subject of interest' Heart has been claiming the credit for the Dem ocratic victory In Maine, but itls doubtful if the democrats of his own state can depend upon him for sup port., The excessively friendly atti tude toward President Taft and his policies, recently assumed by the Hearst papers, and the part played by' the editor in the fight to overthrow the so-called republican "bosses', has given rise to a suspicion that Hearst Is paving the way for turning his journals Into republican organs. Some democratic politicians openly declare that Hearst is becoming more and more conservative, and that in 1912 he will be found lined up with the repub licans and advocating the re-election of President Taft. While Hearst has been unsuccessful in his1 own politi cal ambitions, Democratic leaders ad mit that he is able to swing a large Independent vote in New Yprk City and vicinity, and in a close election, his Influence may determine the re sult It Is considered practically cer tain that Hearst will fight the demo cratic ticket in case It Is headed by Mayor Gaynor. .

I Mr.' Short said in part;, .! 7 Since each of the states has all needful powers of authority, and gov ernment, there is no reason whatever why aay outside agency should inter fere. Wherever the federal ; govern ment comes In and imposes conditions it does so wjthout authority. For the purpose of protecting rights on the streams flowing through the several states the Jurisdiction Is In the state or in the United States courts to pro tect all. rightful interests and to pre vent one individual or one community or one state from ' overriding the rights of another. We are told that the executive Is to do these things. The response Is that under our system of government this is impossible and if it were. an open question It would be the wrong instead of the right way of doing It. We are being entertained with the glowing promises of a new nation alism, with urgent claims of Its ne cessity and prophecies of its great benefits., It may be called a new na tionalism, but, with all respect, it ap pears to me to bp merely old federal Ism presented in a more extravagant and excessive form than It was at the period when It was defeated and ac credited In the . early history cf our country. , BUYS IMBLER ORCHARD.
