TIIE 3I0RNIXG OREGONTAN, . FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 191G. PRESIDENT CLOSES NEW YOHK GAHPM6H Torchlight Parade, Headed by , Tammany Hosts, Advances - V on Madison Square. GREAT CROWD TURNS OUT carers Told "Farty of People" Is Being Built Tp In Address to V Business Men He Pleads for Co-operation. ' NEW YORK, Nov. 2. With two great rallies here tonight President Wilson closed his campaign for re election except for a speech he will de liver to New Jersey friends and neighbors at Shadow Lawn Saturday. The President's coming gave the Democrats their first opportunity of the campaign in this city for old-fashioned political enthusiasm on a big scale. Torchlights and red fire blazed In Fifth avenue as the hosts of Tam many Hall, headed by Charles F. Mur phy, advanced upon Madison Square Garden, which was besieged by a tre mendous crowd before their arrival. Two hours and a half before Mr. Wilson was due to arrive at the his toric garden, police reserves were striving vainly to hold back a surging throng striving for places of vantage which would make entrance easy, after the doors were thrown open. Holders of reserved seat tickets strove vainly to reach the entrance. Similar scenes were enacted at Cooper Union. Crond Cheer 30 Minutes. Augustus Thomas presided at the Madison Square meeting-. The first speaker was Samuel Seabury, candi date for Governor of New York. He was followed by William F. McCombs, candidate for United States Senator, and wc-Governor Martin H. Glynn. All of them commended the policies of Mr Wilson, which, they said, had "brought peace and prosperity." The Mexican members of the Mexi can-American joint commission accom panted by their wives, occupied seats on tho platform When Mr. Wilson was recognized as he appeared on the platform the crowd rose and cheered steadily for 30 min utes. Small American flags fluttered from thousands of waving hands. In the intervals when the din slackened patriotic airs were sung. "It would be impossible to say any thing worthy of the welcome you have given me," began the President. "I realize that we stand at one of the most serious turning points in the his tory of the United States and the world. xnis campaign has disclosed some lines of division in the United States. Here and there it has shown men aligned against each other. This will be ominous for the future unless it Is checked. Country Declared Divided. The President said the campaign In 1912 represented a fight against priv ilege, ana the same was true now. "I want you to realize," he continued, that another sort of division has ap peared in this country. It is between those who employ labor and those who perform labor. Nothing could be more dangerous. We must see that justice Is done to working people. This is not a matter of mere sentiment, but a mat ter of human right. "There is also another division. Some men have grown so unscrupulous that they have sought to discredit their own Government in order to gain a partisan advantage. Some men have sought to determine the affairs of this Nation In accordance with Interests outside this Nation. What are we going to do with Xhem?" "Elect you," a man cried. "I will tell you what we have done,' he went on. "We have built up a party or tne people. The President predicted victory, say ing he was not worried over the out come. Police Obliged to Use Clubs, President Wilson, in two addresses at Cooper Union one inside the large meeting hall and another to a crowd, 'which filled the square and streets ad jacent declared the reception accorded him today in this city made him feel like dedicating his life all over again "to the cause of the great mass of toilers of the country." Many thousands of the persons who were unable to get Into Madison Square Garden followed the President and his party to Cooper Union, and the crowds there became so dense the police were forced to use their clubs freely in clearing a way for Mr. Wilson to enter. Thomas W. Churchill, former presi dent of the Board of Education of New York, introducing the President to the young men inside Cooper Union, said that Lincoln, whom he referred to as "the tenderest memory of our great "war, once had stood upon the same platform Mr. Wilson was to speak from tonight. He s another Lincoln" shouted a chorus of voices. "I ve been dealing with young men most of my life," began the President. "One thing I've tried to impress upon them has been not to stay young too long, but to take themselves seriously. Young Men Told to "Get Ready.' "A free nation," said the President, "cannot have the spirit of employes; It's got to have the spirit of comrades and equals, or It will not go forward. Referring to the "few" in control of the resources of the -.ountry, the Presi dent declared: "We must show them that the representatives of the people can run the Government better than the representatives of the interests "I congratulate you youngsters." said feuSHouldBujr 11 w Midi.

"I wish I were young again, for I love the fight when the purposes are what they are now." The President paused a moment, men continued: "We may win the fight November 7 we will win but it will have to be another November two years from now ji Twl annthpr. n ri d ko from November to November we'll have to keep our Ehoul- ders to the wheel.' He urged upon the young men com ing of voting age to "get ready," add ing that theix "we will have an America, such as the great mass of the people of the country desire," and one for which "our children and our children's children will bless us." The President was driven directly from Cooper Union to the Mayflower, aboard which he and his party left for-Long Branch, N. J. Business Declared Safeguarded. In an address to business men this afternoon at a luncheon the President assured his audience that the business interests of the country had been safe guarded under his Administration, and would continue to be if he were re elected. In his speech the President said In part: We are living in a very serious period of the world's history and there fore It seems to me especially Incum bent upon us that we should, so far as possible, search every question to the heart. And when I think of searching the business question to the heart It seems to me that there are some very large reckonings which have too often been left out of the account. Business is not a matter of organ izing genius. Business is not wholly matter of financial initiative. Busi ness does not altogether consist or seeing the opportunity and trying to avail yourself of it. It consists in hav ing deep sources of strength to draw from; ana the only sources of strength for business, as for government, are to be found in the general body of the people. Are they content? A people not contented does not work well. Are they living under the proper physical conditions? A people stunted In their growth or arrested in their vitality or hampered in their physical growth does not work well. Are they confident that they are living under conditions under which they will get Justice and the right consideration of those who are put over them? If they suspect that they are being put upon, used for the behoofs of others, they will grudge every stroke of work that they do and do it only because they must have bread for the mouths of those dependent upon them whom they iove. People Think They Are Exploited. "And the thing that haa disturbed the thought of a great many men in recent years n this country is that the general body of the people have got the impression that they are beirfg ex ploited, that they are being used, that their vitality Is being drawn upon. In order that others might prosper and they get the crumbs from the table." He deplored the intolerable burden little children are facing. "Society is constantly needing to be touched up, to have the decayed wood taken out and good wood put In, to have the structure looked to, and the struc ture lies in the human hearts, It lies in the contentment of peoples and the satisfaction of whole nations with the conditions under which they are living, said the President. "But my moral is business cannot afford to let anything alone. When I hear business men say. 'let things alone, I understand that am getting counsel from a men that does not understand. Every business that I ever knew of that was left alone decayed. 'The whole law of life for business Is the law of progression. Stand still and you will go to seed. Stand still and you will decay. Now, one of the things that has been the matter with American business has been this. am not saying this In a spirit of in dictment. But the real trouble is that it has been under the direction of too small a body of men. We have a short hand expression for that small body Business Declared l?---,nsi 'I have been told again and again that it was a mistake for me not to call into counsel in publip affairs the men wno constitute wnat we nave agreed to call 'Wall street. And have again and again said this: If they would come in a spirit of co operation they would be more than wel come. But they always come in spirit of resistance; not only that, but advising alterations In the plans which would defeat the plans. I am speaking by the book. This is not generaliza tion. They have a subtle genius for proposing seemingly Immaterial changes which would eventually lead to th defeat of the main objects of the legis Iation proposed. Do you wonder that I do not call them into consultation And yet I tell you again that they will be welcome the moment they come to co-operate, and they will not be wel come until then. "Why, the amount of genius that is expended In this country in resisting hopeful changes is one of the greatest indictments on the score of waste that this country has laid itself open to. Brains havo been burned out acting as brakes. I solemnly protest that that is not the right use for the best gifts of the country."

SOME VICTIMS INSISTENT Iowans, Witness in Land Case Testi fies, Were Pacified by Sugges tion That They Could Get Their Money Back. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2. Daniel - J. Connors, of Seattle, who pleaded guilty to an indictment charging use of the malls to defraud in connection with the so-called Oregon-California land fraud cases, and who served 13 months in the Federal penitentiary at Mc Neil's Island for his offense, was placed on the witness stand today in the second trial of Norman D. Cook W. A. S. Nicholson. A. J. Heetz, W. B. DeGarmo, Sidney L. Sperry and Frank lin P. Bull, in the United States Dis trict Court here. Connors was serving his sentence when the first trial of the defendants now on trial was held and was not a Government witness. Since his release from McNeil's Island he has been par doned by President Wilson. Convincins Method, learned. Connors started filing claims for people In the Northwest in February, 1913, he told the Jury toaay. tie learned of the "scheme" while work ing as a stenographer in the office of H. G. Lake, in Seattle, he said. He told the jury today that he was as sociated with John W. Logan, said by the prosecution to have been the arch conspirator, and that through Logan he learned of new and better ways of in ducing people to pay 150 to file on quarter sections of land in the Oregon California Railroad land grant. Connors was afraid of investigations. he testified today, and when in San Francisco at one time asked Norman D. Cook, one of the defendants, about the advisability of incorporating a phony" timber company to handle the ootions which each applicant signed on making application for land. Con nors had difficulty with some or the applicants In Sioux City, la., he told the jury, but managed to 'square it with all of them by suggesting that they could get their money back, he said. One Applicant Turns Tables. Once, he told the Jury, he and Logan were victimized, one applicant tender ing a check for $25 and not having funds in the bank to meet it. Connors' testimony Included much that had been given by Logan In the first trial and last week in tne pres ent trial. He told of the effort to have a bill Introduced in Washington, which, he said, he hoped to use as a convinc ing argument that something was actually being done to assure title for the applicants in case the Government s suit against the Southern Pacific Com pany to have the land revert to the Government was won by the Govern ment. CLERKS AGAINST WILSON BOASTED POSTAL SURPLUS WRUNG FROM AGED. Secretary of National Federation of roatoflice Clerks "Shows Up Postmaster-General. WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. All is not harmonious among the members of the American Federation of Labor in Its support of the Administration. Thomas F. Flaherty, secretary of the National Federation of PostofHce Clerks, which is affiliated with the American Federa tion, declared that the claims of Cabi net officials that reforms have been instituted beneficial to postal employes are not borne out by facts. "The Postmaster-General, after stat ing that the service was permanently self-sustaining, asked Congress to nullify all of the employes' principal legislative reforms, declared Mr. Fla herty. "Our eight-hour law, our week ly rest law, our salary classification law would have been nullified if Con gress had heeded the recommendation of the Postmaster-JGeneral. Ex-First Assistant Postmaster-General "Roper, now one of the Democratic campaign managers, asked Congress to amend the CINCINNATI. Photo from Underwood. wife. The nappiness. work all postofHce clerks through the Winter months without any day of rest. In view of the eight-hour day Issue, the recommendation, of the Postmaster' General in his report to Congress No vernier 13, 1914, is significant, it seems to me. He asked Congress to alter our eight-hour law to make possible the spreading of the day's work over 12 hours. "The boasted postal surplus accumu lated during the present Administra tion includes money wrung from aged mail collectors old men who have given their life to the service. At the same time the wages of old men were being reduced Congress was asked to increase the salaries of the Assistant Postmasters-General from $5000 to 17500. "In most of tha larger postofBces of the first class the eight-hour day is a misnomer. The. employes are forced to toil 10 and 11 hours, to the impairment of their health. While the figures em ployed In the campaign may fool the unknowing, the men in the service are too well acquainted with actual condi tions not to know that the claims are not founded on facts." MRS.
