SCRAXTOX, Pa., Sept. 23. Woodrow Wilson rode through rainy Pennsylva nia today, campaigning as he went and addressing thousands of persons, who crowded the wayside stations to see him. He arrived here at 6 o clock to night and participated in an umbrella parade to the armory, where a big mass meeting was held. From the moment the Democratic candidate crossed the state line at Phlllipsburg, N. J., and -stopped at Kaston. Delaware, Watergap, Portland and Stroudsburg. there 'were umbrella covered crowds to greet him. It was getting toward dusk grhen the Governor reached Stroudsburg and as he leaned from the rail of the obser vation platform the brakemen removed a rear light. R-r Light Not Needed. "They know we don't need any arti ' flcial light," said the candidate amid laughter, "and that there is no dan jrer on the part of the Democratic can diate of a rear-end collision, because nobody is in the same running class, so that we are not afraid of any other train catching up with us. "The interesting thing to the whole country is that the great State of Pennsylvania, which so long has seemed entirely devoted to the inter ests of one party and suspicious of the Democratic party as if the Democrats did not understand the financial and business interests of the country is now showing a marked inclination to turn away from the party that has not satisfied the people and Intrust ttB confidence to the party that is now seeking a new set of policies in order that the country as a whole rnay be served. The Republicans are not even satisfying themselves. Tamlly Tronble" Seen. "I don't like to talk about it, be cause I belong to another family, and it seems to me indelicate to talk about a family I do not belong to. "But evidently there is some family trouble and some part of the family has a more tender conscience than the other, and the part that has a tender conscience does not exactly know what it wants to do with itv But those of us who for 16 years have seen exactly what was coming in the year 1912 have no doubt where we are bound, for. want to call you to witnes that th Democratic party has had substantially its present programme of returning the government to the people for more than 18 years.

What has happened is that the people are beginning to see that after all we were willing to stay out of power on the conviction that the day was coming when upon our own platform we could serve the Interests of the people of the United States. "Now. we believe there isn't any part of the country where the busi ness interests are better understood than in the State of Pennsylva nia. But I want to remind you of this about half the voters in the United stales are Democrats and you don't suppose that inasmuch as Democrats are engaged in every Kind of enter prise they are going to cut their own throats. "One of the papers in Philadelphia said very wittily the other day that if the Democrats committed economic murder on the industries of the coun try they would also commit economic suicide." 1, JiL' " - il l Above, New Vork'n "BIr Konr" (Prom Left to Right), J.

STRIKE socialists Prepare for Universal Suf frage Fight. BRl'PSELS. Belgium. Saturday. Sept. 24. A great general strike is projected by Socialists of Belgium in sppport of a universal suffrage amendment to the constitution. Hoetilities against th government, which has resolutely set its face against the desired legislation, will be begun in November. Half a million workers, it is calculated, . will he involved in the strike, which It is intended shall last six weeks at a cost to their funds estimated at $10,000,000. The railways, postal and telephone service, mines, docks, arsenals, fac tories and workshops of all kinds are to be involved in what its promoters contende will be a bloodless campaign. Women seem as earnest as the men In the propaganda. Promises of substan tial financial support have been le-t-eived. the committee officials aver, from the I'nited States. France, Eng land. Germany. Sweden and elsewhere, and arrangements have been completed. Hcrording to the same authority, to send 40.000 children to temporary hold ings in the north of France on the declaration of the strike. The thoroughness of the Socialist leaders who are engineering this move ment is evidenced on all sides. All ex tra work in the mines has been strictly avoided so that there shall be no ac cumulation of coal stocks against the evil day. similar action has been taken in factories, and workers are limiting the output strictly to the quantities necessary to meet ' requirements from day to day. 1 In spite of the announced desire of the committee that peace shall not be disturbed during the strike, such vast numbers of revolvers have found their way into the hands of workmen that the government has issued special in structions to police and gendarmes to institute a general roundup of warlike weapons. The government is makin its ar rangements to repress with an iron hand any attempt at excesses, and troops will be rushed into all Industrial centers the moment the strike is declared.

(Continued From First Page.) be a political leper at Washington if Wilson moves into the Wbite House therefore, muses Murphy, what is the use of trying to please Wilson, any how? It Is understood that certain lead ing Democrats have warned -Murphy and his friends that his support of Dix will mean he will be barred from a share in the Federal patronage. Still, as Murphy looks at it. Federal patron age Isn't of much value to an organiza tion like Tammany, and, anyway, be isn't going to get it. When Cleveland was President, the then Tammany leaders, John Kelly and later Richard Croker, were ostracized, but they managed to worry along nicely on the city patronage. Murphy has more municipal jobs to give out than Croker or Kelly ever had, and in addition he has the state patronage, which is of far more value to his or ganization than diplomatic berths. Spilt Is Foreseen. The way Murphy figures It, Oscar Straus will split up the Republican vote and make it a walkover for Dix He does not know, nor does be care. whether the Democratic disaffection will injure Wilson. Murphy is inter ested, first in himself, next in Tam many Hall, and he hasn't any third choice. The Wilson men, however, fear that Dix' nomination may spell defeat all along the line. Dix is unpopular with city Democrats, village Democrats and farmer Democrats. Oscar Straus, who has been nom inated for Governor by the Progres sives, is exceptionally popular, partic ularly in the city. He is the first Jew ever named for such a high office in this state, and is bound to get a good- sized vote from his fellow religion ists. In New York City alone there are 905,000 Jews, about one-thirteenth of the entire Jewish race. Mr. Straus has long been one of their recognized leaders, and it will be interesting to see how heavy a vote he polls. It is a fact worthyof note that the heavy Democratic majority and the Republican split induced by Roosevelt are ' practically centered in Greater New York. Reports received from up state are 'that Roosevelt - will not do particularly well in the rural sections. Republican leaders openly assert that there is mighty little disaffection, ex cept in a few localities, and Democratic campaigners privately conceded the same thing. Straus to Rua Strosjc, Postmaster Greiner, Republican leader of Buffalo, who has been in the city for a week or more, declares that Straus will get five or six Democratic votes to one Repuolican tie receives in New York City. Mr. Greiner does not explain upon what be bases these figures. Political records, however, show that the Jew ish vote of the local boroughs is ap proximately ten to one Democratic On the face of it. this indicate! that if Mr. Straus receives any great degree of support from his fellow religionists he is bound to "put an awiui crimp in the tiger's tail. Samuel S. Koenig. Republican chair man of New York County, figures that his oartv has an excellent chance or victory. Mr. Koenig expects that Straus will so draw away the Democratic vote that Dix and the Republican nominee ill s-o ud to the Bronx practically neck and neck, and the heavy G. O. P. majority up state will overwhelm Dix. The recent primaries were valueless so far as showing the sentiment of the people. Men named Dy tne political leaders were sent to conventions and nominated for Congress, Senate, etc, without any objections. The real rub. however, will come in electing mem. Tammany gang for state and National lawmakers. The Congressional delegation will be enriched by the presence of "Big Tim" Sullivan, but this is the only sign of reform and progressiveness that Mur phy has manifested. It has been sug gested to him that high-class men be named to uphold the hands of Wilson, but Murphy simply grunted, handed out his slate, and let it go at that. Roosevelt Fight Drags. The Roosevelt campaign seems to be dragging of late. Perhaps this is be cause the big Bull Moose is hitting the traJl out" West, and in his absence there is no one to keep the pot boiling'. Controller Prendergast has seemingly lost much of his Interest. He confi dently expected the nomination for Governor, and the turn-down he ceived was a blow to him, his friends say. Since the convention Mr. Prender gast bas been sticking close to his of fice and it is said that the only way to get hira excited is to mention "Sus pender Jack" McGee, the man who made Straus a candidate. Ex-Dieutenant-Governor Woodruff is also "in the dumps." He and Hotch- kiss do not get along well together, and Woodruff bitterly complained that bis plans for making a Roosevelt show ing in Brooklyn are hampered by "amateurs." Hotchkiss, on the other hand, is credited with saying that the support of Woodruff Is not half as valuable as that of any one of a dozen suffragettes. This pleases the women, of course, but it has caused Woodruff to bitterly dislike the state chairman. Job Hedges, who, as an avowed can didate for the Republican Gubernatorial nomination, toured every corner of the state, says that the Roosevelt wave Is subsiding. , "I can safely say," he says, "that few people believe the time is ripe for a third party. Many voters have been supporting Mr. Roosevelt without real izing that he had ceased to be a Re publican. They are now waking up to that fact, and will think twice before they leave the grand old party. This statement I make as the result of per sonal and careiui observation. CHINESE LOAN IS NEGOTIATED DESPITE OBJECTIONS. Independent Issue Is Due Largely to Efforts- of ex-Correspondent of London Times. LONDON, Sept. 23. Half of the Chi nese loan of 150,000,000 is to be offered in London for subscription on Tours day or Friday of this week, according to Charles Birch Crisp, head of the Anglo-Russian Bank, which has been prominent in the negotiations. Lloyds-' Bank is supposed to stand sponsor for the loan. The capitalists here have hesitated to believe the independent group of banks has been able to cut the ground from under the feet of the "six power" combination, representing the United States, Great Britain, France, Ger many, Russia and Japan. Latest ad vices from Pekin appear to be .convincing. The British government has retreat ed from the position supporting the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, as the result of the newspaper attacks, which accused it of backing monopoly. The issue of the independent loan is largely due to the efforts of Dr. George Morrison, former correspondent of the London Times in Pekin, and now po litical adviser to the President of the Chinese Republic He spent a month in London conferring with financiers and politicians. The contract between the Chinese government and the financiers provides that the proceeds of the loan shall be used for the repayment of existing loans, for the reorganization of the government and for productive works. The loan Is redeemable in 40 years. and repayment of the principal is to begin in the eleventh year and proceed by yearly amoritization in half-yearly payments. China, however, may re deem the loan at the end of 15 years on payment of 2 per cent premium on the price of 100,000 sterling bonds, and after 25 years without payment of premium. Provision is made to prevent the im pairment of the security by the issue or luture loans, ana tne contract safe guards bondholders in event of any re vision of the customs or of any Increase of the liken (transit duty). There is no clause releasing either China or the bankers from the per formance of the contract In the event of any government assuming an atti tude of disapproval toward the trans action.

Roosevelt Thanks State for Standing by Him at Primaries Republi can Committee gaid to Have Driven People From Parry. JOPLIN, Mo., Sept. 23. Governor Hadley, of Missouri, in the opinion of Colonel Roosevelt, as he expressed it today, will join the Roosevelt Progres sive party in the National campaign. "I do not merely hope, but believe," said Colonel Roosevelt, "that Governor Hadley will yet decide to stand with us." Colonel Roosevelt saw nothing of the Governor during his trip through this state. Beginning the day in Kansas, Colo nel Roosevelt came into Missouri and" spoke at Springfield and Joplln. with a number of short speeches from the train at other points. He attacked the Republican National Committee, saying it had separated forever the people from the Republican party and had "boarded up the party until you could not get into it with a jimmy." Boll Moose Calls Heard. He told the people in Speaker Champ Clark's home state that Mr. Clark had been beaten in the Democratic con vention, although he had beaten Gov ernor Wilson in the primaries. The people of Missouri came out in crowds to hear Colonel Roosevelt. They greeted him with cheers and bull moose calls and the Colonel had trou; ble to make himself heard. In the crowd at Lamar, Mo., there was a man with a huge banner bearing the words: "We wank Taft; let well enough alone." The banner attracted Colonel Roose velt's attention. Bending over the rail ing of his car, he pointed to the man with the banner and said: "Any man who supports the re ceiver -of stolen goods stands on a level with the receiver of the stolen goods. He is a dishonest man and un fit to associate with honest men." Taff Badges Seen. As the train drew out Colonel Roose velt called to the crowd, "Goodbye, honest men." ' When the Colonel reached Spring field he found another Taft banner and saw a number of men wearing Taft badges. "I have noticed several Taft badges in your town," he said in his speech, "and they are the appropriate color of yellow. There never was a yellow er performance than that of the Re publican managers at the Chicago con vention and the badges are just the right color. The man who puts one on shows that he has a yellow streak somewhere." Colonel Roosevelt then spoke of Gov ernor Hadley. "I wish to express my appreciation, said he, "of the way Missouri stood by me in the primaries and the way a man I have always admired Gov ernor Hadley stood by me. I not merely hope, but believe that Governor Hadley will yet decide to stand with us. I hold that no honest man has the right to stand with the men who stole the nomination from the people in the Republican convention last June."
