He also devoted much of his speeches today to a more direct plea for Democratic sup port. At Delhi ho said In part: It ia particularly gratifying that the Re publican party, in the good work that haa been done in recent years, hai had the sup port and has largely been able to accom plish that work through the support of patriotic members of the Democratic party, who respond quickly and enthusiastically to. a call upon good citizenship. And through out the state nothing has been more grati fying than the action of old-line Democrats who have refused to be stultified by the proceedings of the Buffalo convention. They have thought more of the principles of their party than they have of their candidate. They have thought more of true Democracy than the pretMie and th masquerade which they were akt-d to support. Mr. Hughes greeting here and at Delhi and other stopping places today waa marked by much enthusiasm. II KAltST SPEARS OX GAS FIGHT Calves History in Reply to Hughes Charge of Misrepresentation.

An impressive mem orial service for members who have died during the past three years was one of the leading events of the second day of the triennial convention of the World's W. C. T U.

The In terstate Commerce Commission and some of the transcontinental railroads may clash over the question of the railroads being compelled by the commission to re fuse holders of trip transportation an ex tension of time on their tickets. A recent opinion, in the form of a ietter. from Chairman Knapp of the commission, hold that the ratlroads must refuse to extend the time limit of tickets for any cause whatsoever. The Salt Lake railroad has already dis continued the piactiee, and has begun in stead the cash redemption of unused transportation where sickness or other good cause is shown as the reason for in ability to use the same. The Southern i'aciilc and Santa Fe officials, however, are quoted as saying that they will make no change in their methods in this par ticular until they have received a ruling on tho subject direct from the Interstate Commerce Commission and have taken the matter Into the courts. Salt Lake officials assert that they have uncovered evidence that a large amount of fraud that was being perpetrated on their roads and others. They state that the business of getting extensions of time on transportation had become so general that in one instance it was found that a certain physician had been doing a large business issuing for $1 each certificates of sickness to holders of transportation for the purpose of securing extensions of time o;u their tickets. These certificates were Issued, officials claim, in ntany cases where the holders were not ill at all. "The Irish Banquet. rOKTLAND. Oct. 19 (To the Editor.)

These two have mucii in common apd might find much pleasure in each other's company. However, it is not generally believed that the President will accept a diplomatic pOfrt. Looking the whole field over there is nothing that would give him the opportunities found in the Senate; op portunities to carry on the work he inagurated In the White House. s It Roosevelt does not succeed Piatt, the man chosen is very apt to be a man. ho approves. It was largely due to Roose velt's influence that Charles E. Hughes was nominated for Governor this year and Roosevelt's backing will give Hughes many votes. Perhaps, after a term as Governor, Hughes may want to come to the Senate and, if he makes good at Albany (as it seems quite probable) he may have Roosevelt's indorsement In case the retiring President does not want the toga. Hughes, next to Roosevelt, is New York's strongest Republican today and is very like the President In many re spects, notably his integrity, his inde pendence, his candor and his forcefulness. Hughes is a man to inspire confidence and as Senator would prove a credit lo the state; ha would do much to overcome the disgrace that has been heaped upon New York by her present Senators. Just as Piatt is sure to be retired in IP09, just so sure will Iopew be left in the lurch at the close of his term, two years later, provided he lives that long. Both the New York Senators, in addi tion to being disgraced before the world, are tottering with age, shuffling along close to the brink of the grave. Steamer Scotia at San Francisco.
