WAR WITH UP-STATE MEN
Representative From Manhattan
Charges Peal Whereby Tamma
ny's Strenaah Was Thrown to
Presiding Officer of House.
BY LLOTi) F. LONEROAN.
NEW YORK. Oct. 12.-(Speclal.) Be
hind the charges Which Congressman
Herbert Parsons has marie against cer
tain up-state leaders, whom he accuses of
having entered Into a corrupt bargain
with Tammany, is the material for the
prettiest kind of a flsht for the Senate
seat of Chauncey M. Depew.
Parsons Is thoroughly convinced that
v.. -t ,-,-.., ifv ranriiriate. Otto Bannard, is
doomed to defeat. He has already com-
menced-to cry fraud, ana oiamre ui.
state men for falling to pass the numer
ous' election hills which he sent to Al
bany lust session.
Parsons says that there was a plot,
entered into between Tammany Hall leg
islators and -Cannon Republicans.' In
return for the defeat of the election laws
Parsons wanted, so Parsons claims, the
Democratic organixatlon agreed to throw
Its votes at Washington to Cannon, who
was hard pressed.
The weak point of the story Is that
tje leader of the Democratic Insurgents
was Congressman John J. Fitxgerald. of
Brooklvn. who is McCarren's right-hand
man. "Nobody believes for an Instant
that Murphy could give orders to the
energetic Jlr. Fitxgerald.
Fitzgerald Coppers Good Thing.
But FitzRerald saw a chance to land on
good committees. He Is now on the
rules committee, a position that has- not
been accorded to a New York City -man
since the year of the big wind. The
Brooklyn man s friends say that he sim
ply took advantage of an excellent op
portunity to riee, and he agrees with
them.
1 know nothing of any deal," says
Fitzgerald, earnestly, "and It is incred
ible that there could have been any deal.
There, were some rumors In circulation,
of course, while the fight for control was
going on. but the amendments that I
prctentec.at that tiiife were the result of
conviction.
"I did not believe it wise to place the
'duties of the Speaker in the hands of a
committee, and 1 told the. Democratic
members so before I took any action.
Vnat I should be Involved In any such
oet: as Persons talks about is absurd,
fcr my feelings toward Tammany are
veil known."
Assails Up-State Men. '
The men who are most bitterly as
sailed by Fsrsons are John Raines, Re
publican leader in the State Senate, and
Congressman George Malby, of St. Law
rence County, one of the really Influ
ential :ntn In the upper end of the Em
p:re State.
It is an interesting fact that both of
thse men sxe already on record as op
posing the elevation of Parsons from the
lower house of Congress to the Senate.
And under ordinary circumstances, they
will have a great deal to say regarding
the Identity of Depew's successor.
Parsons has had his eye on a Senatorial
toga for many years. He wanted to be
a candidate a year ago, and tearfully
withdrew when Roosevelt practically dic
tated the selection of Ellhu Root. But he
believed that he had things properly ar
ranged for a triumph, and that when
the legislature met in January, 1911, he
would be hailed as the man to be sent to
Washington for a six years' term.
But since Congress adjourned. Parsons
has heard some disquieting news. He
had participated in several skirmishes
with the Cannon forces, and In conse
quence was told that the Speaker's
friends did not think that he was a safe
man. Also that the rural leaders thought
that the metropolitan district should be
content with one Senator, Mr. Root.
Down in Cannon Column.
The up-state delegation to Congress has
always been unswervingly "regular."
Every time there has been a fight, both
sides have unhesitatingly put the rural
Congressmen down ln ,the Cannon col
umn. The up-state men are also poli
ticians of standing In their respective
communities, and have a distressing habit
of ruling the delegates to the various
conventions, while their. State Senators
and Assemblymen usually- eat out of
their hands. And the fact that they were
opposed to him was unpleasant news te
Parsons.
To be nominated, he must have the
support of up-state men. At the present
time there are X Republicans in the Sen
ate, and only three of these come from
New York (i.unty. In the lower house
are S9 Republican Assemblymen, of whom
nine are representatives of Manhattan.
So it can easily be seen that Parsons. If
he relies on his own constituents exclu
sively, is very far from having 'even a
decent representation In the legislative
eaucus.
' The defection of Raines, Malby, Sereno
Payne and others who usually follow
them would be enough to put Parsons
out of the running for higher honors, and
he thoroughly realizes that fact. So he
is doing the best he knows how to stir
up their constituents. And he really be
lieves that his crusade will prove a suc
cess. ThJrata for Trouble.
It is Parsons' plan to stir up all- the
trouble possible. He figures that if Ban
nard is defeated, he will be able to lay
the blame on the broad shoulders of the
up-state men. who failed to properly aid
the party In the section where it was
weak and needed all the aid that It could
legitimately receive. Should e happen
to win it will be despite the handicap of
designing men" who put the interests of
l: nele Joe Cannon above the necessities
xf their own clan in New York State
If Parson carries out his present Ideas
he will go Into the state convention next
Fall, and raise a terrible rumpus. He
will court defeat, u nil v....

commodated. Then If the election goes
wrong, but the Legislature Is saved lie
will be In the position of being the proper
man for the party to hbnor. as the one
who had given warning beforehand of
what was bound to happen. r
Parsons has confided to his friends that
to carry out his Ideas It will be neces
sary for htm to raise Cain during the
next session of Congress. He realizes
thoronghly that he is a marked man,
from the Cannon standpoint, and that
his only salvation Js to t a very
naughty insurgent.
Backed by Manhattan.
In any actionthat lie may take. Par
sons will be supported by the two other
republicans from Manhattan. Olcott and
Bcnnet. These two have usually lined
up with the organization, but now they
must do as Parsons says, unless they
are anxious to be denied a renomtnation.
for the county chairman is In absolute
control of the local organization.
Cannon s frlendsay that they are glad
that Parsons has come out into the open
against their leader. For over a year,
they say. they have been suspicious of
him. Parsons made no secret of his dis
approval of the handling of the tariff
bill. At one time ft was believed that
he was ready to vote against the meas
ure, but at the last moment he and his
faithful followers wheeled Into line, al
though they permitted it to be under
stood that they thought that a great
mistake rad been committed.
Speaker Cannon charges that the out
break of Parsons is due to disappoint
ment over a failure to land committee
assignments to which he had laid claim,
but which were denied him. Parsons
a.-kod la.t session to be placed on the
committee on foreign and interstate
commerce, made vacant by the promo
tion of Vice-President Sherman, and It Is
not denied that the Speaker told him
that he (Tarson." was already well pro
vided, and that he had no right to de
mind greater honors.
Friend Bonnet PunlfliecL j
But the friends of th? New York City
leader sav that not only "was Parsons
ignored, but his close friend Bennet of
Manhattan was punished because of his
lovalty to his leader.
Bcnnet was the ri nking member of the'
committee on Indian lands, and was
in line for the chairmanship, when Con
gressman Cushman died. Instead of re
ceiving that place, or another equally
prominent, Bennet was dropped from the
committee entirely, and given sn obscure
place on the committee on Indian lands.
The explanation, according to the New
York men. is that both Parsons and Ben
net were punished because of their sup
port of President Roosevelt in his secret
service fight.
When Speaker Cannon made his charge
that Parsons was influenced by inter
ested motives In his attack on the Cannon-Tammany
combination, so called.
Parsons demonstrated by his reply that
he is prepared to lead a bitter war In
the House this Winter.
"The Speaker is always complaining
that so many men are cowardly." he re
marked. "He can hardly criticise me If
I try to follow his advice and show some
courage. I stand by my original State
ment that there was a deal between some
upstate Republicans and Tammany men,
to get support for Cannon and the rules
in the House of Representatives. I am
not surprised that some people object
to my saying this at the present time,
but I cannot agree with them that It
means the ruin of the grand old party
of wlch I have been a member ever
since I have had a vote."
Parsons' bold defiances of the present
ruling powers in , the National party
has led to the suggestion In some quar
ters that lie expects that Theodore
Roosevelt will soon return, to resume
control of the organization, and to save
him (Pamons) from further humiliation
at the hands of Cannon and his friends.
In all quarters It. is agreed that he
has run straight Into the biggest hornet's
nest that the Republicans have encoun
tered In a decade. It Is also certain that
before the buzzing- ceases, a number of
persons who have not heretofore been
mentioned will probably be badly
"stung."
