ir Gaynor, as Is Hoped, Becomes
Governor, President of Board of
Aldermen, Who Will Be Good
Tammany Men, Gets Place.
BY I.I.OTD T. LONERGAN.
NEW YORK, Sept. 36 (Special.) The
one best Tammany bet these day Is
Justice William J. Ga-nor for Mayor.
Charles F. Murphy ha studied the
'matter over very carefully, and la con
vinced that any weakness Gaynor may
possess Is more than counter-balanced by
his strength. In other words. Tammany
Hall has received assurances that the
Knights of Columbus' will not be able to
control the Catholic vote of Greater New
York.
Murphv has confided to his Intimates
that the" more he studies the Gaynor sit
uation, the more he likes It. Of course,
Gaynor Is not the man whom Murphy
would personally seh-c. but here, are the
facts which appeal with great effect to
the leader of Tammany Hall:
Reeardless of what Mayor Gaynor
might say or do. a Tammany victory
would give the Wigwam control of the
Board of Estimate, which has the giving
out of $400,000,010 In contracts, and that
Is a matter in which Murphy Is per
sonally Interested.
Murphy Looks Tear Ahead.
Under the city charter, when the Mayor
dies Is removed or resigns, his successor
Is the dulv elected President of the Board
of Aldermen. Murphy is prepared to
bring about the selection of a good
Tammany man for that office, as he ha
reason to believe that Gaynor will never
serve out his term. For Murphy Is
planning to bring about the nomination
of the Judge for Governor next year,
and he expects he would be elected.
' So. brieflv. it is Murphy's scheme to
put up with Maynor for one year, and
hold his organisation In line by telling
them of the good times that will come
when the man they do. not want is
promoted. .
In conversation with a friend the other
dav Murphy is quoted as having said
the 'Brooklyn Jurist would not lose 5H0O
Catholic votes, and adding, cynically,
We will more than make them up from
the A. P. A."
Which goes to show that Mr. Murphy,
as a practical politician, does not mean
to allow religion to Interfere with busl-
"The whole fight against Gaynor. said
a prominent Tammany leader. "Is con
fined to the Knights of Columbus. Ar
rangement have been made which will
reduce this bolt to a minimum. You
will find -before the campaign is over
that Judge Gavnor Is In thorough accord
with the reMKlous teachings of his youth.
It Is not -necessary to say more at the
present time."
Tammany la Pleased.
Tammany men are convinced that the
campaign Is over, and they are thor
oughly pleased with the outlook. Here
Is the view of one man, whoso predictions
in the past have generally been found to
be justified:
"New York Is naturally a Democratic
city The only way to beat Tammany is
bv a wave of great popular excitement.
There are no signs of any remarkable
public uprising at the present time.
"The average voter la a sheep: -a
silly empty-minded sheep, who finds It
too great an exertion to think of more
than one thing at a time.
- "Well, at the present moment he has
the Hudson-Fulton celebration, with its
marvelous pageants, to keep him going.
"TVe win have Cook and Peary both
here In a few day and they will make
enough noise to keep politico In the back
ground until after the polls close. The
organisation does not care what they
say or do, nor Is it interested in the
"question as to which man discovered
the North Pole. So long as they keep
on talking, and stir the people up, we
will be satisfied.
' World Supports Gaynor.
It Is known that Murphy Is much Jm-
pressed by the argument that are made
by the New York World in Gaynors
favor. The World is the nearest ap
proach to a Democratic paper there is
in the Borough of Manhattan. It even
supported Bryan last year, although It
must be admitted It uttered loud cries
while doing so. In -a recent editorial the
World says) in part:
Next to the President of ths United .States
the Mayor of New York is the most Import
ant elective officer In the country. Ttia
city's total annual expenditures are llttl
lrss than the total revenues ot the Federal
Government at the close of Hay' dn''"
Istratlon. Its gross debt equals the lnt":
et-bearlnc National debt Its asseeeed
valuation represents one-nfteenth of the to
tal estimated wealth of the United States.
Measured by the qualifications and oppor
tunities of the office. The World believes
Judne Gaynor Is better fitted for this work
than any other man whose name has been
seriously proposed. We have no extrava
gant theories about him. We do not re
gard blra as a political Messiah and we
expect no political miracles from him. but
we believe he Is capable of giving the rltj
a strong, clean, vigorous administration.
We think he Is exc.ptlonally well qualified
for that leadership of public opinion wnien
is one of New York's greatest civic needs.
Four years ago an independent candidate
on an Independent ticket came within 3iM

votee or Doing cucwu
Thrre are probably more Independent voters
now than there were then and New York
needs a Mayor.
Danger In Independent.
This one thir.g of an Independent nomi
nation worries Murphy and his close
advisors. They all remember how they
laughed loudly at Hearst four years ago.
At that time Hearst seemed to be a
ridiculous candidate. And yet, with a
little common sense displayed in his
campaign, he would be Bitting In the
City Hall today.- -
Nobody in able to figure the slxe of the
vote Ckiynor would poll were he to run
ae an Independent candidate. But every
student of politics knows that the aver
age voter is mighty sore on both of tlw
old parties, and would be glad to give
them a swat If It were possible to do so.
So Murphy figures he will be able to
absorb the Independent vote, win the
election, and have all the spoils' after a
brief year of partial reform.
nd from what 'he man In the street
can'eee. hie Ideas appear to be sound
and founded upon common sense.
So the probabilities are that the next
Democratic Mayoralty candidate will be
Justice Gaynor. and his success may
mean that he vill la in line for higher
fconors from his party.
And siould he become Governor or
even Psldent, Murphy would only dis
play a languid Interest. For a success
ful leader of Tammany HaH Is only con
cerned with what goes on in his owp
itr.

CHANGES ARE FEW
Eberhart to Carry Out Policies
of Johnson.
FRANK DAY RESIGNS
Late Governor's Private Secretary
Will Return to Newspaper, but
Gossip Has It He May
Tinn for Office.
ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 26. (Special.)
f ew changes are liable to be made
immediately in the administration of
the affairs of the state of Minnesota.
Governor Eberhart says he will con
tinue to carry on as far as possible
the policies of the late Governor John
son. Many of the Democratic Gover
nor's appointees were Republicans, and
they may hold over permajiently.
Some of the Johnson men have said
that they would resign. So far, how
ever, Frank Day, Governor Johnson's
private secretary and his political man
ager, alone has made a definite an
nouncement. He will leave the office
October 1. He says he is going back
to his country newspaper, but he is
likely to be back in the political strife
a year hence, when Eberhart's time ex
pires. He may groom a new Demo
cratic candidate. It would not be sur
prising if he should be nominated for
Governor himself. "
To depart radically from some of
Johnson's policies might prove danger
ous in a state where his personal popu
larity was so remarkable, so whatever
plans the Republicans may have In
view thev are proceeding slowly.
Mrs. Johnson Is the sole heir of the
late Governor's estate, which Is valued

NEW 'YORK, Sept. 26. By, a decision
formulated this week by the Manufac

bllt cup race will change In character
to a stock car race, open to machines
of even as low piston displacement as
161 cubic Inches.
The cars participating are to be di
vided into four classes, all of which
will race over the same course and at
the same time, but for different dis
tances. The smaller cars will be re
quired to cover a total of 135 miles,
those next In power 205 miles and the
rest, racing under one classification,

BRIDGE WILL BE LONG.QNE
Southern Pacific Structure at Leb
anon to Cost 9100,000.
LEBANON, Or.. Sept. 26. (Special.)
The railroad bridge which will be bull
across the South Santiam River at
Lebanon this Fall will be one of the
longe.st bridges in this part of the state.
The bridge proper will be 360 feet long,
and there will be a trestle 2000 feet long
on the. west end of the bridge.
Work on the big structure will begin
tomorrow and the" construction will be
rushed by a big crew. The bridge will
cross the river Just above the big county
wagon bridge. There will be two steel
spans, each 180 feet long, resting on con
crete piers. It Is estimated that the
bridge and trestle will cost about J100.000.
The site of the structure Is a splendid
one, however, and its erection will stop
the trouble the Woodburn-Natron line
has experienced ever since Its construc
tion in crossing the South Santiam. The
old bridge between Tailman and Crab
tree has gone down or been seriously
damaged almost every year since the
road was built.

ALABAMA'S GOVERNOR IS FOR

Sheriffs of State Protest Executive
Goes Over Their Heads In
Proposing Raids.
MONTGOMERY,' Ala.. Sept. 26. (Spe
cial.) Because of a threat to go over
their heads and enforce prohibition
laws' in the intense way he thinks ne
should, Governor B. B. Comer, head
and front of the movement for con
stitutional prohibition, has brought
down the wrath from-many of the
Sheriffs of the state. -.
The latest to enter a protest, and
he does so In the papers not only of
his home town but of larger cities is
the Sheriff of Decatur, who complains
that the Governor has taken unwar
ranted liberty- in demanding; that he
break up the sales of liquor at Decatur.
The fact that the executive has the
right to use military in raiding if he
sees fit, and that under the new
act Sheriffs may easily be impeached.
adds to the feeling of resentment
aroused.
The Governor is demanding; aotlon,
however, and Sheriffs of larger cities
will not feel surprised any day;to see
troops flocking to raid places.
