of Party Responsibility in Recent
History Democratic Injunc

BTRACTSE; X- Y Oct. 23. Republican
cheers have pounded In the wake of the
Taft special train -which today visited
Lyons. Canandaig-ua, Geneva, Seneca
Falls and Auburn. The climax was
reached tonight In this city with a big
parade, two meetings and an overflow.
There has been no lack of auditors and
demonstrations whrovfr tite Ohioan has
tarried. In-spite th heavy campaijrntnff
r-. quired of him yesterday in Greater
New York, h sliowed little effect of the
strain today. He has hit at the mots of
what he considers Democratic fallacies in
vry speh, and has ben free in fi
pr?5sin(C hU optimism as to the result

ben cnnini nde.l in strong: language, like
wise the remainder of the New York
Siai ticket and the Vice-Presidential
candidate.
. Meets Rival Attraction.
Mr. Taft hsd the rival attraction here
tni)?h: of Mr. Bryan, whose special car
W4 at th rti. u ion w hen t he Ta ft t rain
arrived.
Mr. Taft accepted today an invitation
t-i visit New York City In December to
attend the Installation of an organ in the
Metropolitan temple, the $tt of Andrew
larneaie. Thi? invitation was extended
by Rev. Dr. John Wesley Hill, pastor of
t.ie Temple, who h.xs been assisting Mr.
Taft a a speaker. Dr. Hill left the party
tonight after bavin k Iliads ISO speeches
during; the campaign.
Mr. Taft's arguments today liave been
made pointed with new phrases And illus
trated with new comparisons. At Lyons.
In the first speech of the day. where he
talked to an audience in Gilchrist Hall,
he asserted that the defeat In 1S6 of the
silver hereey was a victory for god that
was exceeded only by the victory of the
Army In tha Civil War.
The next extended effort of the candi
date was at Canandaigua. where he went
into analysis of goveniment throiiKh poli
tical parties, lie preceded this with a
prediction that Mr. Hugl.rs would be
elected. The- vital Issue of this caniplrn,
air. Taft asserted, was whether or not
the American people had been well served
under the Administrations of William
WcKinley and Mr. Roosevelt. lie con
tinued: What Governing Really Means.
I frvmvllrnM think that we fail to ap
preciate what ft-vrniiiiT means. It des
ri-u mean oratory. It does not mean the
power of debate. It does not mean the
advancement of plausible theories, but It
pam the power of eftlcient performance.
When ou have a popular Government,
the only method by which it can be earned
en is by a aj stem of partiea in which th
member of the parties sacrifice many of
thir n"n-eeemtal ievs and acre on a few
pre! principles.

Is It a forvs that Is likely to keep them to

Are trw men thorn they selected for their
leaders statesmen men with a flue sense of
governmental propnetr and governmental
policy ? Having made that comparison
without regard to ths particular jK'ltcles
Men they uphold In the present tue.

tice Blshoff. of the Supreme Court,

acter of Mrs. Gould.
In July. 1906. after serious differ
ences had arisen between Mrs. Gould
and Mr. Gould, he said, he tried to ef
fect an arrangement whereby the
Goulds would live according to a defi
nite domestic and property plan. Cer
tain stipulations vrere laid down by
Mr. Gould to govern his wife's con
duct, but Mrs. Gould rejected them.
One of Mr. Gould's conditions, the wit
ness said, was that his wife should
abstain wholly from the use of intox
icants. On this point, on cross-examination.
Delancy Nicoll, who appeared
for Mr. Gould, asked Mr. Sells to tell
Just how much wine he thought a lady
should drink.
"Mrs. Gould." the witness replied.
"drank only as much as a lady should."
"Well., what is a lady's limit?" asked
Mr. Nicoll.
"Well. I should say that the limit
for a lady is a pint of champagne at
dinner." said Mr. Sells.
Clarence J. Shearn. who represented
Mrs. Gould, asked the witness prior to
the cross-examination of Mr. Nicoll:
"Now, have you ever observed in
Mrs. Gould's demeanor any evidence
that she had been drinking to excess?"
"Oh. never." promptly said Mr. Sells.

BY LIXTD F. LONERGAN.
JTEW YORK. Oct. 29. ( Special. Bryan
in the course of his tour of the Empire
State, this week, made the following sig
nificant confession to several personal
friends.
"J. cannot win without New York."
The candidate hones for victory here,
but his expectations are not shared by
the party leaders. Except Mack, anyone
you talk to will tell you that the 39 Taft
electors will have at least 60.000 plurality.
Bryan intimated that he was not satis
fied with the outlook In Ohio and Illinois.
The following statement was prepared by
one of Bryan's close advisers, and dem
onstrates Just where the candidate thinks
he stands.
Sure of 217 Votes.
"We are absolutely sure of 217 votes,
for we will carry the following states,
Alabama wtth 11 votes; Arkansas. 9: Dela
ware. 3: Florida, 6; Georgia, 13; Indiana,
15; Kentucky, 13; Louisiana, 9; Maryland.
8: Mississippi. 10; Montana, 3; Missouri.
18; Nebraska, 8; Nevada, ; New Jersey.
12; North Carolina, 12; Oklahoma, 8; South
Carolina, 9: Tennessee. 12; Texas. 18; Vir
ginia, 12. and West Virginia, 7. With New
York's 39 we will have 256 votes in the
electoral college, or 20 more than are
necessary.
"The chances are against us in Ohio and
Illinois, although It would not be good
policy to-admlt It. I believe we will carry
Colorado, Idaho and Wyoming, but those
three states only total 11 electors, and
would be of absolutely no value without
New York. In every calculation we make
we realize that New York is the keystone
of the arch.
"The campaign in California and the
Far West has collapsed. We have no
hope of carrying Minnesota, or Wisconsin.
Frankly we never did have any real ex
pectation of wiping out the Republican
majorities in those rock-ribbed communi
ties. New York will tell the story, and we
are putting in our best licks there."

Complete Prohibition Not Desirable,
He Says Confines His Drink
ing to AVlne- and Beer.
BOSTON. Mass., Oct. 29. (Special.)
President -Enot, of Harvard University,
in an address delivered- before the No
License League of Massachusetts to
night, announced that he had always
been a moderate drinker and had ex
perienced no lil ieffects; that he be
lieved that no license was the best
weapon against intemperance, but that
he had never yet been convinced that
the complete exclusion of liquor from
a community was desirable.
The total prohibition, " he said,
seemed to him too great an interfer
ence with personal liberty. President
Eliot said that hi. use of intoxicants
had been confined to beer and wine,
for he had , always hated distilled
liquors. He pad recently been con
vinced by the results of the progress
of medical rclence, through animal ex
perimentation, that even the moderate
use of alcohol is objectionable and that
the habitual use of stimulants is low
ering to the intellectual and nervous
powers.
President Eliot said that he had op
posed no license in Cambridge when it
was first proposed, but had been con
vinced that his first impressions of the
plan were wrong and was ready to
give his full Indorsement to the crusade.

months regarding industrial corporations,
to make a preliminary report at an early
day to Congress, which will probably serve
as a text for discussion there.

Senator's Daughter Will Not Marry
Duke if She Must Face ltoyal
Family's Hostility.
ELKIXS, W. Va., Oct. 29. (Special.)
From a member of the Elkins family It
was said authoritatively tonight that the
marriage of Katherine Elkins, daughter
of United States Senator Stephen B.
Elkins', to the Duke of Abruszi depends
entirely upon the success of the noble
man in eliminating the opposition which
1 still manifested by some members of
the royal family, notably the Queen
mother.
If these relatives of the Duke can be
induced to give their consent, the beau
tiful daughter of Mr. Elkins will become
the bride of Italy's royal explorer and
scientist. If this consent is withheld,
the marriage will not take place, for the
simple reason that Miss Elkins will not
run the risk of Incurring the hostility
which might possibly follow such an al
liance. At the present time no engagement ex
ists between Miss Elkins and the Duke
and there will be no engagement until
he can assure Miss Elkins that she will
be welcomed to Italy by members of the
roywl family.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Oct. 29.
(Special.) The famous Norwegian Arctic
explorer, Roald Amundsen, leader of the
Gjoa expedition which discovered the
Northwest passage, has planned a new
exploit for the polar regions next year.
He will try to reach the north pole by
adopting Fridtjof Nansen's plan of drift
ing northward on Arctic current. He will.
however, choose a more easterly starting
point than Nansen did, probably because
he fears & too close proximity to Bering
Strait. It "is not improbable that Nan

this expedition.

Exposure of Jugglery With Chicago
& Milwaukee Klectric Bonds Re

Sums by the Promoter.
CHICAGO, Oct. 29. (Special.) One of
the worst messes of frenzied finance ever
served up to the American public was
disclosed today in the affairs of A. C.
Frost's bankrupt Chicago & Milwaukee
Electric Railway. In spite of the la
bored efforts of interested persons to con
ceal the facts, it became known that
alarming conditions, warranting the most
serious charges of financial Jugglery,
have been reported to the receivers of
the concern.
The revelations substantiate nearly all
of the accusations made against Frost
when his troubles first became public
last January. It is shown that the road
is completely swamped by debt; that
Frost padded the earnings to conceal a
constant deficit and that nearly J1O.O0O.O0O
out of the 116.000.000 poured into the ven
ture has been squandered or diverted.
Legerdemain With Funds.
The disclosed methods by which
Frost- shuffled the money of Investors
through the railroad company; the Re
public construction , Company, which
built the line; A. C. Frost & Co., bank
ers, and a myriad collateral ventures,
amount to a financial legerdemain of
the highest order.' In these transac
tions Frost dealt principally with
Frost, as he was the president of all
the corporations involved.
The details of the remarkable situa
tion were revealed in the official re
port of Arthur Young & Co., certified
accountants, to the receivers appoint
ed by Judge Peter S. Grosscup. This
report was suppressed.. The report
made to the bondholders a few days
ago for the purpose . of paving the
way to a reorganization of the road
