2 THE MORNING OREGOXIAN. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21. 1903.
THREE STATES ARE
BATTLEGROUND
Republicans, Led by Taft, to
Bend All Effort in Indiana,
Ohio and New York.
BEST ORATORS IN FIELD
Threw States Regarded by Both Par
ties as Pivotal I.a. FoUelte, Gar
field, Dolllver and Shaw
Are Among Speakers.
NKW YORK. Oct. 20. Mr. Taft will
leave Cincinnati tomorrow night ami be
gin at onre a. tour of Indiana. On his re
turn from New York he will close the
campaign with a speech at Youngstown,
O.. Monday night, November 2.
The impression that the Republican Na
tional Committee has virtually taken
charge of the campaign In Ohio Is errone
ous. The impression doubtless grew out
of the statement made today by Chairman
Hitchcock that the National Committee
had arranged to send a number of speak
ers into the state.
Plan' to Clinch Xall.
The National Committee has done this
after a full understanding with the state
committee in Ohio. So the matter was ex
plained at National headquarters today.
The Ntional Committee Is particularly
Interested in the Ohio situation because
of the many. thotiKh disputed, reports of
disaffection In several sections of that
s:ate. but the committee Insists that It has
no doubt of the result in the state as a
w hole. It now proposes, it was said, "To
clitvll the nail."
Mr. Taft will appear at all the day
meetings which have been announced in
his itinerary In Indiana and Ohio but lie
will not speak at any of them. This ar
rangement has been agreed to by the
state committees In Indiana and Ohio.
The object of this is to satisfy the crowds
that are expected to atter.d and to save
Mr. Taft's voice for the night meetings
that have been announced. This state
ment was authorized today by Chairman
Hitchcock.
Chairman Hitchcock will leave for Chi
cago tomorrow or Thursday, but will be
In that citv tor only two days. After that
he will return to New York and remain
here until after election.
Confident About noghes, Too.
After a conference late today with State
Chairman Woodruff. Mr. Hitchcock said
that while he had never had any doubt
about New York, he was more confident
than ever that the Taft and Sherman
electors would have a great plurality
in the state, and he was Just as confident
of the re-election of Governor Hughes.
The final whirl of the Republican Na
tional campaign will occur in Indiana.
Ohio and New York. From now on until
tho day of the voting every available
speaker of National reputation will be
hard in the three states which both par
ties rcpard as pivotal.
The National committee tias arranged to
throw the following speakers into Ohio:
Mr. Taft, Postmaster-General Meyer.' Sec
retary Garfield. Secretary Straus, Sena
tor Dolliver. Senator La Follette. Leslie
JI. Shaw. General O. O. Howard. Rep
resentative Foster, of Vermont, and Rep
resentative Ixmgworth. of Ohio.
The campaign In Indiana will also be
conducted with all the visor the National
Committee can put into it.
HAINS BROTHERS IN COURT
Objection to Grand Jury Delays Plea
to Indictment.
NEW YORK. Oct. JO. Captain Peter
C. llalns. Jr.. and his brother T. Jen
kins Hains. were arraigned before Su
preme Court Justice Garretson at
Flushing, L. I., today on an Indictment
charging murder in the first degree in
connection with the death of William
E. Annls. John F. Mclntyre, counsel
for the defense, demurred to the in
dictment on the ground that the grand
Jury had not been properly drawn, his
principal objection being the presence
on the Jury of a man said to have been
a lifelong friend of Annls. The court
refused to take up the point, whereup
on Mr. Mclntyre asked for time to in
spect the minutes of the jury before
entering plea for his clients. The case
was then adjourned until tomorrow.
The proceedings in court today indi
cated that T. Jenkins Hains will be
tried first. It is understood that Dis
trict Attorney Parrin will ask the
court to fix November 9 as the date for
the trial.
HENRY REED TELLS STORY
(Continued from First Pase. )
waste with men who repudiate their
contracts.
Chllberg Asks Him to Remain.
"Not the slightest Intimation was
ever made to me that my services
have been at any time unsatisfactory.
1 hold a letter from President Chilberg.
written since my resignation, wherein
lie states that I still have his regard
and confidence. Director-General Na
deau protested against my resignation
and said that it was undoubtedly the
unanimous wish of the board of trus
tees that I should continue in office.
Under the circumstances I could not do
so and maintain my self-respect, keep
the respect of the Exposition manage
ment, maintain the discipline of my di
vision and act Justly by the people at
Portland, with whom I was associated
In the Lewis and Clark Kxpositlon.
"I have never been able ti understand
why the executive- committee would not
even do me the courtesy to consider my
contract while at V.ie same time Its mem
bers professed personal friendship and
complimented me upon the results ob
tained In exploiting the exposition. A
salary of a month would noi have
been excessive, and I was not only direc
tor of the exposition, but .also general
adviser to the corporation. The dlrector
ireneral receives a year and tiie sec
retary Both are inexperienced men
la exposition business. The director of
works receives Pam a year.
Glad to Quit Disagreeable Job.
"Personally I am very glad Indeed to
Ve relieved of what was to nie a very
disagreeable position under the conditions
w hich prevail in Seattle. My only sincere
friend in the whole management and the
enly one who ever desired that I should
have a fair deal was President Chilberg.
However, he waa powerless to do what a
majority was manifestly determined not
to do."
But underlying all the trouble Is the
evident fact that Reed was in the power
ful grip of a never-ending mass of red
tape. There Is no one-man power In the
Seattle Exposition, a at Portland. St.
Lou la and other fairs. Everything has
ta go through a series of committees, who
report to the executive committee and
they ask for recommendations and finally
Issue orders after weeks of delay. Reed
grew restive under this procedure and
on various occasions showed his impa
tience by staying away from meetings of
the executive committee.
For some time there has been com
plaint of the expense of the exploita
tion bureau, the complaints being par
ticularly directed toward Frank L.
Merrick, the chief of publicity. Reed
stood by Merrick. The feeling against
Merrick has been due to Jealousy large
ly entertained by local newspaper men.
One of them wanted the Job, and had
his friends working for him.
J. A. Wood Succeeds Reed.
Reed's resignation is genuinely re
gretted by all the Kxpositlon executive
committee. for it is realized that he
accomplished big things. Today James
A. Wood, commissioner from the Alas-ka-Yukon-Paclfle
Kxpositlon to the
Jamestown Exposition, was elected di
rector of exploitation, to suceced Henry
E. Reed.
Following Wood's succession to the
office, there, will be a general
of the exploitation and publicity de
partments. The appointment of Wood and che
reorganization of his department will
result In a saving of $400 a month to
the Exposition.
A chief of publicity has been em
ployed at a salary of $2-0 a month.
Thla position will be abolished and
Wood will handle both the exploita
tion and publicity ends of the bureau.
COUIiDXT AGREE OS SALARY
Chilberg Says Reed's Demand for
$500 a. Month Was Refused.
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct 20. (Special.)
"Mr. Reed was engaged at a salary of
WOO & month under a contract which was
to run until the close of the exposition."
said Mr. Chilberg tonight. "In January,
1S07, he demanded J300 and served notice
on the committee through an attorney.
The executive committee Informed Mr.
Reed that he must withdraw the letter,
which he did. and until recently all of us
considered the matter a closed Incident.
"A few months ago the attention of the
treasurer's department waa drawn to the
fact that Mr. Reed did not receipt In full
for his salary. That Is to say, the -words
on the voucher 'in full for all demands to
date.' had been crossed out. As the mat
ter of salary had been settled, so far as
the committee waa concerned. It was re
quired of Mr. Reed that he give receipt
in full for his salary warrant.
"When the executive committee met,
Mr. Reed was not at the meeting. We
wished to know what was being done in
the exploitation department, and Mr.
Reed's absence was a source of annoy
ance. We sent word to Mr. Reed that we
desired his presence instead of Frank L.
Merrick. The request was made peremp
tory and doubtless Mr. Reed resented the
order from the exposition officials.
"I had also informed Mr. Reed that
Frank I- Merrick's work was unsatisfac
tory and that he should either be required
to give better service or be relieved from
further duty in the publicity bureau. Mr
Reed said that he had taken Mr. Merrick
In hand and that the letter's work bad
Improved."
