sion and that one-half of tiie crowd
had returned, not being able to obtain
admission.
There was much spontaneous but
good-natured cheering for Hryan In the
first outburst and Mr. Taft, who had
Just besrari to' -speak, remarked, drily:
"Mr..B:yaii has bven'runnlng for the
Presidency for 12 years. We ought to
Kive a shout for him anyway."
Wien the candidate followed this
with the remark that he was proud to
be the first Republican candidate for

Virginia, he was accorded great ap
plause. . ...
"I sfall he prouder," he continued,
"If I ran-play such a part as to bring

And he then added with deliberation:
"If w don't got her electoral vote

four years hence advocating the elec

The row of boxes which circles the
large platform was filled with society

TAFT CANNOT BE BEATEN
'. (Continued from First P )
and in fact almost everywhere outside of
New- York City. His hearty indorsement
of Taft and hi -unselfish, 'course In ne
glecting his own campaign In New York
In order to iKlp -Tad In doubtful states,
has had a wonderful good effect, and
the time mill come iflien Mr. Hughes will
In probability reap the benefit of his
possible sacrifice this Fall. "There Is no
d.-ny'.ng the fact in the minds "of many
md.-r.rnd.-nt voters, Hughes istoday the
strosg'st mar before the public, and
among those wno think that way, Hughes'
entreaty on" behalf of Taft is entirely
effective -
Roosevelt's Work ' Effective.
Arajr.g fSe IndVpend'nt voters are still
oth M wiio have been won over by Presi
dent; RosTelt. The fact that the Presi
dent' publicly vouches for Taft. and rec
ommends his election because he feels
conftd nt that .Taft wlU continue faithful:)-
the woflUof Tiis present administra
tion., will hold In the Republican column
mart: vffrrs "who, were It not - for the
Presjd-ntaciivity. might cast their bal
lots .for'.ftrysm- This Republican trend
among ft.'tfep.ina'ont voters may therefore
b frlhi;i. .1 '.'ke to the, .efforts of Mr.
Taft," -Mrn-i nor Hughe - and" President
Roosevelt, each working In his own way,
but all to a common end.
No one would undertake to deny that
Bryan will receive the votes of a great
many, laboring men who voted for
Roosevelt four years ago. ' Bryan,
throughout the campaign, has made
especial effort to win the labor vote,
and In this he has had the co-operation
of Samuel Gompers. Gompers. of
course, will fall down In his attempt
to "deliver" the labor -vote, air a -wholer
to Bryan, but he will be able to influ
ence many laboring men, union men,
who might normally cast Republican
ballots.
Taft's attitude towards labor has
been grossly misrepresented, and there
are many who will not be set right,
or who will not permit themselves to
be set right before ejection day. Some
will vote against Taft because of mis
understanding; others through preju
dice formed early In the -campaign.
But what promised to be a general
stampede among laboring men, ap
pears to have been checked, and Bryan
will probably make few gains among
this class between now and election.
Labor Vote Split.
The fact that President Roosevelt
has conferred with labor leaders and
persuaded them to "get busy" in Taft's
Interest, has . been Instrumental . In
checking this stampede: the honest,
straightforward recital by Mr. Taft of
his- attitude and record toward labor
has convinced many of the more in
telligent the thinking class, and the
further assurance of Governor Hughes
and other prominent Republican lead
ers that Taft Is labor's friend not its
enemy, has had a beneffcial effect. It
is ' true, Taft will lose labor votes,
many of them, but not nearly so many
as seemed probable a month or even
two weeks ago. The worst Is over;
the situation as regards the labor vote
is rapidly Improving.
One other thing will check the trend
of labor votes to Bryan; that Is the
activity of the Socialists and the
Hearstites. Debs is - bound to get
thousands of labor votes that ordinar
ily would be cast for Bryan, and His
gen, of the Independence League, will
get still other thousands, particularly
In New York and In other cities where
Hearst newspapers have wide circula
tion. From recent Inquiries, It appears
that the Republican leaders have been
needlessly 'alarmed about the colored
vote. It is true that some negro lead
ers, particularly at the opening of the
campaign, made a loud outcry against
Taft, and all manner of threats were
hurled at the Republican leaders. But
the average negro voter has refused
to allow himself to become excited
overt the Brownsville affair; he has
been'thinklng things over as the cam
paign has progressed, and has about
decided that his interests He with the
Republicans. .
Negro Vote Tnchanged. '
Certainly he has nothing to gain
through the election of Bryan, for that
would bring Into power the party
that disfranchises the negro, and the
colored man would much rather retain
his vote than throw It away In what
he believes might be a vain attempt to
restore to the Army a small number
ot colored soldiers, many of whom, at
least, were deserving of the treatment
they received at the hands of Presi
dent Roosevelt. In the doubtful states,
where a large colored vote Is cast. It
is found that but slight change will
take place among the dusky voters on
November S; most of them, as .usual,
will be Republicans. The attempted
stampede failed.
Ia almost every campaign Republicans
have patched up factional differences be
fore election day, and the old rule holds
good in the present fight, save in Ohio,
where there is still danger. In Wiscon
sin, in West Virginia, in Illinois and in
Indiana factonal differences have been
compromsed, and the National ticket is
getting the support of both sides. Even
in Iowa, where factional feeling runs
high, the opposing clans are equally loyal
to Taft, and that state, though it may
elect a Democratic Senator, is strongly
and safely for Taft. Naturally this ad
justment of factional troubles has helped
the Republican situation, and has made
doubtful states safely Republican.
Bryun Shows Strength.
Before the present campaign opened
that is. Immediately after the two tick
ets had been named Republican leaders
very generally believed that Bryan would
be as easily defeated as he was In 1S!6
and In llXJO; indeed, there was a prevalent
feeling that he would run no better than
did Judge Parker in 19W. But, when the
fight really opened, and It became evi
ednt that Bryan, instead of being weak
er, was stronger than ever, the Republi
cans changed their tactics, and became
the aggressors. The wisdom of their time
ly change Is now apparent. Had the cam
paign been w'aged on the plans originally
laid down, Taft would have been defeat
ed. President Roosevelt was the first to
Bee the fallacy of the original plan of
campaign, and It was largely through his
efforts that methods were changed. De
velopments have shown that his political
Judgment is as keen as ever.
Much of Mr. Bryan's-present strength
Is due to the fact that the United States
Senate, during the coming four years, will
be certainly Republican. That means that
his administration, should he be elected,
must necessarily be one of inaction. With
a hostile Senate, Bryan could not put
through any of the great reforms he has
promised. His hands would be tied, save
us lie might operate under .the existing
laws. But in a legislative sense his would
be a stagnant administration.
The fact that the Senate will be Re
publican, thus preventing the enactment
of radical laws, has opened the way for
a few cantankerous anti-Roosevelt Re
publicans to drift into the Democratic
party. That fact has also made It pos
sible for many gold Democrats, who
voted against Bryan in 1896 and 1910. to
get back into their party and give Bryan
their support this Fait The number of
votes Bryan will gain from this one
cause, if they could be accurately esti
mated, would be astonishing, and. Inci
dentally, If the State of Maryland should
go Democratic this Fall, it will be solely
due to the fact that the Senate will re
main Republican for the next four years.
Viewed In Different Light.
Not all gold Democrats who will vote
for Bryan will do so for the reason Just
set forth; some regard him as a less rad
ical and broader-minded man than ap
pealed to them on the silver issue. They
see in him a changed man: an older and
a wiser man. better equipped than the
Brvan of eight and twelve years ago to
hold the Presidential reins. It is due to
change among this class, as well as the
other, that Bryan is stronger than ever
before. But for all that, many old-time
Democrats, business men particularly,
still view with distrust the man who
changes his policies and his convictions
with every campaign: though he may be
improving, they still regard him as un
safe. And this element among old Dem
ocratic voters will line up for Taft.
If Taft holds thos states which he now
dominates: that Is, If he maintains his
present strength to the end of the cam
paign, he will be elected. But Mr. Taft, is
not content to hold his present strength.
He Is determined, if possible, to add to it.
and with that end In view he and his
managers will devote much of their at
tention during the closing weeks of the
campaign to states that are still In doubt,
and even to states that are known to
lean towards Bryan. Taft Is not satisfied
to win: he wants to win with the biggest
possible majority.

SHEARN OUT FOR
GHANLER S SGALP
Independence Party's New
York Candidate Puts Gin
' ger in Campaign.
HUGHES' NAME ELIMINATED
Struggle In Empire State Charae
trlzed by Sizzling Political Ep-
' ithets Editorial Writer
Calls Hearst Welcher.
BY LLOYD F. LONERGAN.
NEW YORK?, Oct. 17. (Special.) The
only candidate for Governor to make an
old-time campaign Is Clarence J. Shearn,
the nominee of the Independence League.
Governor Hughes has been roaming
around through the Central West, mak
ing speeches for Taft. His associates on
the ticket, so far as anybody can tell, are
in their respective homes, comfortably
resting. Anyhow there Is no report of
passionate oratory on their part.
Lieutenant-Governor Chanler Is enjoy
ing a leisurely tour of the various State
Fairs, with an occasional night perform
ance In an upstate city. Mr. Chanler is
not an orntor, and his remarks are main
ly confined to that dear Old chestnut, "I
am glad to meet you, and I hope you are
glad that I am glad to meet you."
But Mr. Shearn is of different caliber.
"Mr. Dooley" told of the young man who
once ran against Alderman William J
O'Brien, and of him he said. "He talked
everywhere. It got so finally that when
he came home, as he did every few days,
the family would hide In the woodshed."
And Mr. Shearn Is full of oratory and
enthusiasm, and somebody apparently
has staked him to a private car and a
bunch of mileage books. Night after
night the wires sizzle with the words
that come over them from League meet
ings In various cities.
Mr. Shearn has spoken In Rochester.
He has made Rome (New York) howl;
the farmers of Steamburg. Chautauqua
County, have heard a voice crying out
In the wilderness; loud shouts disturbed
the quietude of Racquette Lake, up In
the Adirondacks, and the wail of the
"common people" has deeply affected the
bovine residents of Quogue far out on
Long Island.
And still the verbal fireworks are set
off nightly.
Off Again, On Again.
Mr. Bhearn appears on. the field of bat
tle "supported by a strong cast." The
candidates for Lieutenant-Governor,
Controller, Treasurer. Attorney-General.
Secretary of State and even the felate
Engineer and Surveyor are with Mm at
times, but generally, after a few days
they drop out exhausted, to rest a while,
and then they gallantly plunge into the
fray again.
The nominee fop Governor, however. Is
never exhausted, never out of voice and
never out of word Night after night
he takes the center of the stage, and. In
the full glare of the calcium tells what
he will do when he is elected.
Mr. Shearn is devoting most of his
vocal bombshells to an attack on "Fort
Chanler." He called the tail Lieutenant
Governor a traitor, a turncoat, a "Bene
dict Arnold" and a "tool of Murphy and
Conners."
"Chanler will trade a party for a nom
ination, and any principle he has ever
advocated for a bunch of votes." says
Shearn. "It did not embarrass him at all
to portray Judge Parker as a Standard
Oil tool one year, and the next have
Judge Parker notify him of his nomina
tion; nor to denounce Bryan as a moun
tebank and a faker one year, and the
next proclaim him as our country's
greatest statesman.
"He can plaster the administration of
Governor Hughes with fulsome eulogy at
the County Fairs, and then go out ou the
L stump and hold It up to scorn and ridi
cule.
"This willingness to stand for any
kind of cause, as per retainer, may go In
criminal courts where Chanler has prac
ticed law, but such qualities are not
wanted by the people in their Governor
and chief magistrate."
Governor Hughes does not figure. In
the battle plans of the League. Occa
sionally he is called " a corporation law
yer" and a "narrow-minded bigot," but
that Is only from force of habit, and
really does not mean anything.
. For while Hearst Is not anxious to see
Hughes elected, he Is emphatic in ex
pressing a wish that Chanler be defeated.
And if, In the last hours of the cam
paign he is convinced that the fight will
be close, the League will turn over to
Hughes such votes as its leaders can
control.
The present desire of the new party Is
to hold the balance of power and be able
to claim that the Democracy would have
triumphed had It secured the support of
the Independence League.
The funny part of the whole affair Is
that Shearn actually believes he will
be elected. If he Is sacrificed at the last
moment to make a Hughes holiday, It
will be without his knowledge '.or con
sent. Conduct Whirlwind Campaign.
Two "flying wedge" companies, com
posed of men said to be prominent labor
unionists, are touring the state amid
great excitement. The "number one"
organization Is roaming about the North
ern tier of counties, while the "number
two" aggregation la playlngIght stands
In Westchester and Duchess counties.
Each Is In charge of a "manager,"
who in happier days Is a reporter on
the New York American. And these
"managers" drag out their lives In sor
row, counting the hours until the polls
open and they will be free.
"You cannot imagine what we are
compelled to endure," said one manager
during a few hours lay-off in Manhat
tan. "Each of my performers thinks
he Is a star, and I have trouble to keep
them satisfied. The only solution up to
date has been to 'feature' one man in
one town and at the next stand to play
up somebody else.
"And some of our Jumps hava been
frightful," he added mournfully. "How
would you like to have a troupe at Buf
falo Monday and Just as you were pre
paring to go to Syracuse for Tuesday,
receive word that your presence was de
sired that evening at Binghamton and
kindly explain' why you were in Buf
falo Monday, when your actors had
been expected by the voters of Schenec
tady? This traveling life is not what it
Is cracked up to be."
The Democratio managers are begin
ning to realize that the League's fight
Is directed entirely at Bryan and Chan
ler. and that it is doing damage to the
cause, whereat they are directing a few
blasts at Hearst and a merry time Is in
prospect.
Says Hearst Is a Welcher. .
Willis J. Abbott. Bryan's warm friend,
and a former editorial writer on the
New York American, charges over his
own signature that Hearst is a welcher.
In a signed letter to the Chicago Tribune
which Is being sent out as a campaign
document here, he says In part:.-
"After Hearst said In his editorial two
or three days ago he had contributed,
or duplicated, dollar for dollar, all con
tributions made to the 1S96 fund, he did
not tell the literal truth. To be entirely
frank about t. be 'welched.' He did
make a liberal contribution to the cam
paign fund. He did promise that for
every dollar sent to the National com
mittee he would give another. But
when there came m some contributions
of $500 and of 11000, he notified the con
tributors his purpose was only to du
plicate the small contributions, not the
large ones.
"It happened I had charge of tabulat
ing these contributions and was directed
to write the editorial in which Mr.
Hearst explained he could Bot, or would
not, carry out either the letter or the
spirit of his proposition. No one was
more ready than he to give a dollar out
of his multi-millionaire store to match
a dollar, none more quickly stopped con
tributing when any one else proffered a
thousand dollars. This is mere history,
and it is up to Mr. Hearst to specify
whether or not it Is accurate history.
If ho questions my recollections -I can
refer him to a certain editorial In his
own paper." " ,
Sarcasm for Hearst.
The New York World, In an editorial
headed "In Defense of Mr. Hearst,"
arises to remark:
"It can be readily demonstrated that
such, epithets as 'turncoat' and 'trim
mer' cannot be applied with literal
truthfulness to William Randolph
Hearst.
"For when Mr. Hearst, after first put
ting Mr. Murphy In convict stripes, cor
dially accepted Mr. Murphy's indorse
ment for the Governorship, he was turn
ing Mr. Murphy's coat, and not his own.
When he transformed fighting into fus
ing with Mr. Parsons and his party, he
was trimming Mr. Parsons transitively,
and not himself trimming intransitively.
When he supported Mr. Bryan through
two Presidential campaigns and now
rends him limb from limb, he is not
'putting personal ambition above party
principles;' he is merely putting party
ambition above personal principles."
All of which indicates that the Democ
racy does not approve of the activity of
Mr. Hearst and his organization.

BURROUGHS HAS ALIBI
Was In Salem When Sheriff Brown
Was Allied, .,
SALEM, Or., Oct. 17. tSpeclal.)
That the confession of A. S. Burroughs,
charging Ed Mizener with being che
murderer of Sheriff Brown, In Baker
County; is false, is proved by the fact
that Mizener was In Salem at the time
Brown was killed with dynamite.
Mizener is a decorator, and was work
ing in the State House on the day
Brown was killed. A few days after
the killing he removed to Portland,
having completed his work here.
Mizener was formerly Police Judge
at Baker, was a foe of the gambling
element and was therefore in sym
pathy with Brown's campaign against
that class of people. '
The Portland city directory shows
that Ed Mizener, a painter, lives at 60
East Thirty-first street North, but this
Mizener has been out of the city for
several weeks.
