Says Republicans Should Fight Tam
ilian y to? Tammany Methods and
Has I-caders' Praise Loeb
Is Strongest Rival.
BY LIOTD F. LONEBOAN.
NETW YORK. Aug. 6. (Special) For
the first time In the present city cam
palgn. a candidate for Mayor, opposed
to Tammany Hall, has gone to the ex
pense of Issuing campaign buttons. The
name of this pioneer Is Charles 9. Whit
man, who made a fine record during the
time that he was a Police Magistrate
and Judge of General Sessions.
W hitman Is one of the active, energetic
Republicans. He caused surprise some
month ago by praising the Tammany
system of organization, and declaring
that the G. O. P. could never hope for
success until it "played politics 365 days
In the year."
Tammany is on the Job all the time."
he said in the course of a speech in the
republican Club. "If a poor man In the
tenement-house district gets Into trouble,
he naturally turns to the Tammany elec
tion di.trict captain or the Tammany dis
trict leader for relief. The Republican
district organization Is never In evidence
except on election day. That is why we
are In the minority except when the citi
zens are thoroughly aroused. The peo
ple naturally vote for the men who stand
by them in times of suffering or stress."
Whitman Clubs Abound.
Judge Whitman Is now In Europe, but
la expected back in the United States
towards the end of the present month.
His friends declare that his return will
be signalized by an active campaign,
which they hope and expect will land
him at the head of the anti-Tammany
ticket.
At present there are no signs of a real
"Whitman campaign." But all over the
Fiist Side numerous "Charles S. Whit
man Clubs" have been organized, and
their rulers believe that they have got in
on the ground floor.
The Magistrate Is a close personal
friend of Theodore Roosevelt. He 'has
been publicly praised by Governor
Hughes, who promoted him to the Gen
eral Sessions bench. Bet.i Low, who
ma.1e him a Magistrate, has frequently
declared that "Whitman's selection was
the best appointment I ever made." And
the general public Is fond of him, as is
shown by the excellent run he made while
a candidate for public office.
Reforms He Effected.
Whitman made an excellent record
while dispensing Justice In the police
courts. He early discovered that it was
a shame and a disgrace to lock up chil
dren with the usual criminal riffraff, and
fought early and late for a reform. As
the result of his efforts, the Children's
Court was established.
Following this reform. Whitman began
a crusade against the professional bomis
men. and thereby struck a blow at one
of the most open sources of police graft.
It had been a time-honored custom dur
ing many years for patrolmen to lock up
unfortunate women as soon as the police
courts rinsed. Then the prisoners were
Induced to pay for a bondsman, who. It
was popularly supposed, divided his "fee"
with somebody higher up.
Whitman realized ti at there was only
one way to break up this, system, conse
quently ho commenced a crusade for a
night court. Thlch would Insure quick
action in every case of arrest. It took
two years to bring the Legislature
around to this point of view, but Whit
man finally won out. Now New York
lias a continuous eystem of police courts,
magistrates being on duty 1 from & o'clock
In the morning until 3 o'ciock the next
morning.
As a result of his fine record Judge
Whitman wa promoted to the Court of
General Sfssions to fill a vacancy. He
was his party's candidate for the full
term. ut went down to defeat with his
associates, although he ran many thou
sand of votes ahead of the rest of the
ticket.
Judge Whitman, since his retirement
from the bench, has achieved fame as
the head of the Anti-Policy Society,
founded by Captain F. Norton Goddard.
This1 organization sent the notorious
"AI." Adams to the penitentiary and
practically put this swindling game out
of business in Greater New York.
Leaders Speak Well of Him.
Although the candidate has always
been an organization Republican, he has
many friends in independent organiza
tions. In fact, it is violating no confi
dence to say that he would be perfectly
acceptable to the Committee of One Hun
dred and the Citizens' Union. It must
be understood that he Is not in anv way
the candidate of these associations, but
there is nothing in his personality or rep
utation which would n:ak them oppose
him if thi reqrular Republicans suggested
Ms nomination.
Herbert Parsons, chairman of the New
Yo-k County Republican Oommlttee. Is a
p-rsonal friend of Judge Whitman.
When seen today he said:
"It is a little too early to decide on
rl,e personality of mayoralty candidates,
but I am willing to say that Judge Whit
man Is an excellent type of high-class
Republicanism, and would make an ex
cellent Mayor. Whether or not he will
be nominated I am not willing to say at
the present time."
'I do not care to go on record as to
candidates at the present time," says
Timothy I Woodruff, of Brooklyn, "but
nobody can deny that Judge Whitman
would make an excellent Mayor.
Whether or rot he will be nominated
is a question that cannot bo decided at
present."
A. these two men. Parsons and Wood
ruff, will practically decide the Identity
of the Republican candidate for Mayor
tl.elr statements are received with satis
faction by frlerds of the ex-magistrate.
They believe that if they keep up the
campaign and fight hard their candidate
will be nominated.
I.oeb Slock Is Booming.
In the meantime the boom for Col
lector of the Port William Loeb, Jr.. is
growtng stronger every day. and is well
worth careful consideration. The only
New York paper to wake up to this view
of the case is the Fress. recognized as
t ie leading local Republican ..daily. The
rress came out the other day with Tar
ing headlines. "Loeb Now the Man to
Hi at Tammany.'1 and goes on to say:
"William l.oe. Jr.. Oollector of the
Port, may be the anti-Tammany candi
date, for Mayor this Fall. He need only
iift hi little finger. It was said yester
day, to get the nomination. As to hs

Declares Republicans Were Princi
pal Bolters Adds That Tariff j
-Is Now Highest Ever.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 6. In reply to
what he terms "the misrepresentations
of Democrats m the papers," Champ
Clark, leader of the minority In the
House, today gave out a statement re
garding the course of the Democratic
members of the House in connection
with the Payne bill.
"The old saying that habit la aecond
nature was never more strikingly Illus
trated than by the fact that many news
papersgenerally Republican or near
Republican and more individuals, keep
mouthing about the dissensions among
the Democrats and the perfect unity
among House Republicans, notwithstand
ing the truth known of all men who
care to know that the House Democrats
came out of the tariff fight more thor
oughly united on that question than they
had been in a generation, and the Re
publicans came out of it worse shattered
than ever before," said Clark.
Mr. Clark asserted that on hiB motion
last Spring to recommit, all his colleagues
stood with him. and that on the Payne
bill itself, after his motion was defeated,
the Democrats lost four votes to the Re
publicans one a net loss to his party of
three a more nearly unanimous Demo
cratic tariff vote than at any time In a
generation. "On Mr. Payne's motion to
recommit the conference report." said
Mr. Clark, "the Democrats were more
solid and the Republicans more divided
than at any time since the Civil War.
On that occasion, only one Democrat,
as against 20 Republicans, bolted."
Mr. Clark went on to show that on
the vote to adopt the conference report,
the Democrats, as before, held together
on the whole solidly, giving the "House
machine" a majority of only 12 votes.
He stated that Mr. Payne's reason for
moving to recommit was a desire to head
off what he believed to be a Democratic
plan to recommit with instructions -a
plan which never existed," said Mr.
Clark.
"Many newspapers." concluded Clark,
"are trying to make It appear that the
Payne-Aldrlch-Smoot bill is a revis
ion downward. This is absolutely untrue.
The average of rates of the Payne-AId-rlch-Smoot
bill is about 2 per cent higher
than the average rate of the Dingley bill.
When the maximum goes into effect,
March 31, 1910. the average rate will be
about 27 per cent higher than the aver
age of the Dingley bill."

Finds Sacramento Valley Best Ex

MARTSVILLE, Cal.. Aug-. S. (Spe
cial.) A representative of the Zionist
movement in the Holy Land, A. Aaron
sohn, of Palestine, has arrived in the
Sacramento valley and made his head
quarters at Chico. The object of his
visit is to study conditions and soil
and make a comprehensive report of
the methods of farming and horticul
ture with the object of putting it be
fore the Palestine authorities, who plan
to adopt the same methods In the Holy
Land that are now In vogue here in
the matter of frult-ralsine, farming
and irrigation, with a view of retain
ing the Jew In his native country.
This representative will examine
every section of the valley, and will be
here for three or four weeks. He has
visited states in the Middle West and
East and declares that the Sacramento
valley offers better advantages for his
study of agriculture, and the methods
adopted here are more satisfactory
than in any place he has visited so far.
