Recent Stories.
ARRAIGNS TAFT WITH REST

rate and Every Monopoly
Magnate in Country.
ANDERSON. Ind.. Oct. 31. Declaring
that he ought to have the rotes of those
who hsve been victimized by. the
trusts, for a Republican victory will
bring no relief to the people. W. J.
Bryan today tiaveled through Indiana
appealing for support for the National
and state Democratic tickets. He con
tinued to fire his heaviest batteries at
Rockefeller. Carnegie. Harrlman. Presi
dent Roosevelt and Mr. Taft because of
the announcement that Rockefeller.
Carnegie and Harrlman have come out
openly for Taft. He reminded the peo
ple of the "tragedy" of the Homestead
strike In connection with his discussion
of Carnegie's assertion that a Iemo
cratle victory . would be a National
tragedy. Concerning Mr. Rockefeller
he said that "his conscience has been so
scared by his business methods that he
looks upon a trust as a blessing and
wonders how anybody else can consider
It an evil."
Harrlman. he said. Is the American
whom President Roosevelt denounced,
and as to Sir. Taft. the Democratic can
didate charged him with "leading an
army that has In It every financial
pirate and every trust magnate."
Against that army. Mr. Bryan told
everywhere that he has not behind him
a single man who has his hands In an
other man's pocket
President Roosevelt, he declared. Is
practical enough to know that the open
support of Rockefeller unmasks the
Republican position and that President
Roosevelt wanted the fact of Rocke
feller's support kept secret until after
the election.
UTS REPUBLICAN'S VNMASKKI)
Bryan Aocue Them or Socking the
Support of Roth Elements.
MCNCIK. Ind.. Oct. 31. President
Roosevelt's statement that Mr. Rocke
feller's announced support of Mr. Taft
was ludicrous and made to Injure the
Republican party was the text of W. J.
Bryan's speech here today. A big crowd
accorrt-d him an ovation. Of Mr. Roose
velt. Mr. Bryan said:
Mr. R.wvHI In his letter to Mr. Harrlmasi
declared hlmreir a practical man and aug
set.t that Mr. Harrlman need not come to
Waahtnstnn until after the election. Mr.
Bnnsvrelt la. of eoursr. practical enough lo
Snow that the open support of Rockefeller un
maaks the Republican position. He doubtless
wanted the fact of Mr. Rockefeller' aupport
kept secret until after election. Jut aa he
mante the contributions fjpm the trut mag
nate to be kept secret until sfter election.
The Republican party has been working both
sides of the road. While a part of the party
haa hen pmeilatns reform to the reform
element of the country, the other part has
been aaaurinc the standpatters that nothing
would be done and the Republican platform
a drawn so ambtcuounly that It could be
uaed to purport any kind of a secret process.
Now that the Republican party haw been
riusht with the goods on. now that the trust
masnates like Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Carne
gie and Mr. Harrlman are only supporting the
Republican ticket, no reformer can have IV
rauae for supporting that ticket. Mr. Rocra
feller donbtlesa thousht that an announce
ment from him would help the Republican
party, for he probably believe that he Is do
ing the Lord's service when h nutans a
monopoly upon the country. Hla consclanc
haa been " seared by fcla bualneaa methods
that he looks on a tniai as a blessing and
wonder bow anybody le can conaider It an
evil.
It waa Rockefeller's son who Illustrated the
truat by the American Beauty rose, saying
that th roe could only be brought to Its
perfection by pinching off the buds and 1 ear
Ins the strensth of the bush to go Inside of
the remaining bud. so Industrial development
require the pinching off of the amaller com
petitors. The only difference between Mr.
Rockefeller and the Republican leaders la that
Mr. Rockefeller does hi pinching In the day
time, while the Republican leaders do not
ohlect to the pinching, but they want It done

FINAL CLAIMS ARE MADE

the 61st Congress will be greater than at
first expected. It is believed at head
quarters that the Increase will come from

Mr. Loudenslagera forecast. Issued sev
eral days ago. was: Republican 227.
Democrats 184.
The New York State campaign closed
tonight, so far as the Democrats are
concerned, but Governor Hughea Is
scheduled to make ten speeches In
lireater New York Monday night. Lieutenant-Governor
L. 8. Chanler. hla Demo
cratic opponent, reached his home county
of Duchess this afternoon and plans to
remain there until the returns are In.
Mr. Hughes has rolled chiefly in his
efforts for re-election upon his success

state and upon the creation of the Public
Service Commissions to supervise utility
corporations of Vvc,ry sort. After declin
ing to answer Mr. Hughes' nuestlona on
these Issues for II days, Mr. Chanler
finally announced that he was opposed to
a repeal of the laws which stamped out
gambling and that, while he would not
abolish the Publlo 8ervlce Commissions,

paid members.- "
CARRY" CALIFORNIA BY 50.000
Even Democrats Concede Tart This.
Plurality May Reach 100.000.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 31. (Spe
cial.) Even the Democratic leaders
concede that California will go Re
publican by &0.000 votes. The Repub
lican campaign managers place Taft's
majority at not less than 75,000. and
some figure It at lOa.uun.
Thl tremendous Republican major
ity will carry In the whole of the Re
publican Congressional ticket; despite
the bitter fight made against K. A.
Hayes In the Fifth district. This fight
is largely due to local causes In San
Jose, but good judges see no chance
for. tiie election of Tracy. Democrat.
Julius Kahn will be re-elected In the
Fourth district, although ex-Congressman
Magulre has maile a hard fight
against him. The Democrats have
made only a perfunctory campaign
throughout the state, as they saw the
hopelessness of making any headway
against the Republican strength.
in San Francisco the result Is some
what doubtful, owing to the strong
BR
HAMMER
labor union vote which Is Instructed by
Samuel Gompers.
The Legislature, which will choose a
successor to Senator Perkins, probably
mill be Republican, even the Democrats
conceding this.
The two Congressional districts claimed
br the Democrats are the Fourth and
Fifth. The Fourth Is Included in San
Francisco and the Fifth embraces a part
of San Francisco. Santa Clara and San
Mateo Counties.
CLAIM ALLi IX WASHINGTON
Democrats See. Ralnbow9, but Re
publican See 80,000 Majority.
SEATTLE, Oct. 31. The campaign
closes tonight in the state of Washington
with both sides confident and both parties
holding final rallies in Seattle. Chairman
Kills de Bruler of the Republican State
Committee predicts the election of the
entire Republican ticket by 30.W0 ma
jority, which means also the election of a
Vnited States Senator by a Republican
Legislature.
The state gave Roosevelt 101.540 in 19"4
against 28.098 for Parker, but despite this
Chairman Oeorge P. Wright of the Demo
cratic State Committee forecasts a ma
jority in the state for Bryan of not less
than lO.wO. The Democrats base their
belief upon conditions so similar to those
in 1S6 as to be almost an exact parallel.
This year Democracy Is united and en
thusiastic, while Republicanism is care
less, apathetic and disorganized. The
Democrats believe they will accomplish
the following results:
First, give the five electoral votes to W.
J. Bryan; second, elect John Pattlson
Governor; third, elect a number of the
state oflicers through the Impetus given
to the ticket by the popularity of the Na
tional and slate nominees; fourth, elect
not less than 50 members of the Legisla
ture with the possibility of a majority:
filth, elect at least one and probably all
of the three Congressmen.
CLOSE CAMPAIGN IN WEST
Both Committees Cease Work and
Proceed to Prophesy.
CHICAGO. Oct. 31. Activity at the Na
tional headquarters of the Republican and
Democratic parties in this city ceased to
day, the campaign was closed and those
In charge in each cump expressed con
fidence in the result of next Tuesday s
poll. John E. Lamb, vice-chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, esti
mated that 2H6 electoral votes would be
cast for Bryan. Including -New York ind
Ohio In hla list of Bryan states.
I William Hayward, secretary of the Re
publican National Committee, was equally
sanguine in his opposing estimates, in
sisting that New York. Ohio. Illinois and
Indiana are safely Republican.
The work of the Democratic committee
under tlie guidance of Chairman Mack,
according to those in charge, has been
most harmonious and received unanimous
praise from the Democratic leaders
throughout the country. More than 40.
OnO.no buttons, pictures and pieces of
printed matter, the Democratic committee
estimates, have been distributed In the
campaign.
The publicity department of the Re
publican National Committee has sent out
from Chicago lti.mo.noo documents, ex
clusive of quantities of circulars and but
tons. FIGHT TO FINISH IN ILLINOIS
Taft Sure of State, but Dcneen Will
Fall Behind.
CHICAGO. Oct. 31. The campaign In
Illinois will not actually olose until the
voting Is finished. While It Is generally
conceded that the state Is safe for the
Republican National ticket, there Is a
keen tight over the Governorship, be
tween Charles 8. Deneen. Republican, and
Adlai Stevenson, the Democratic leader.
It is admitted by the Republican leaders
that their Gubernatorial candidate will
run considerably behind the National
ticket and the 'Democrats confidently
claim that their man will be elected.
Anhough leaders of both parties make
more or less sweeping claims of success,
there seems to be no reason to dq,nbt that
Illinois will choose the Republican Na
tional ticket, a Republican Legislature,
which will choose a successor to Albert
J. Hopkins, and the probability Is that
they will succeed In electing the head of
their state ticket, although this Is not
certain.
It is believed, however, that majorities
for Mr. Taft In the various counties will
show a marked decrease from those given
for Mr. Roosevelt four years ago.
NEBRASKA SAME AS IN 1900
But Democrats Claim Gains and
Plurality Will Be Small.
LINCOLN. Neb.. Oct. 31. Both Demo
cratic and Republican state committees
have virtually closed their camaplgn In
Nebraska and both are confident that
they will carry the state. The Republi
can, committee Is more sanguine now
than it was two -weeks ago when it ad
mitted It had a hard fight on Its hands.
Chairman Klefer would make no state
ment regarding Mr. Taft's expected ma
jority, but he believes the vote will close
Iv resemble that of 1000. when McKlnley
carried the state by 7000.
Chairman Allen, of the- Democratic
committee. Is confident that his brother-in-law.
W. J. Bryan, will carry the etate.
The Democrats this year have the most
complete organisation that they have ever
had. They state that the bank guarantee
plank has caught many votes and claim
95 per cent of the labor vote.
It is generally conceded that the farmer
vote will go to Mr. Taft and that Mr.
Bryan will make great gains In the cities
and towns. Nonpartisan predictions are
to the effect that the majorities of the
successful candidates of the state will
not exceed 5000.
BRVAV SAFE IX MISSOURI
Little Doubt Folk Also Will Be In
Ilne for Senator.
ST. IjOUIS. Oct. 31. A normal Demo
cratic majority for the entire Democratic
ticket, state and National. Is the claim
of State Chairman Rubry of that party.
This would mean pluralities ranging from
K.OOI) to 30.0(0 for each of the candidates.
The Republican managers dispute this
claim, however, asserting that Attorney
Ueneral Herbert 3. Hadley is certain to
be elected Governor over his Democratic
opponent. Congressman William Oowherd
and that Taft and Sherman will also
carry the state.
Conservative estimates give the state
to Bryan and Folk with Cowherd as the
probable victor In the gubernatorial con
test. HCGIIES 40,000 BEHIND TAFT
Ward Predicts Bryan Will Not
Carry Greater New York.
NEW YORK, Oct. St. William L.
Ward, member of the Republican Na
tional committee for New York, at Re
publican headquarters today made the
following statement:
'Hughes will not be more than 40.000
behind Taft In this state. If the elec
tion were a week later Hughes would
beat Taft In this state.
"I make this statement on the
strength of a very enreful canvass
made by experts up the state.
'I also predict that Bryan will not
carry Greater New York."

STANDARD FAILS
TO FOOL VOTERS
Attempt to Create Stampede
to Bryan Proves Utter
. Fiasco.
GAME IS TRANSPARENT
Rockefeller Interview Is Obvious
Scheme to Injure Taft by Turn
In; Standard's Myriad Ene
mies Into Bryan Camp.
NEW YORK. Oct. 31. (Special.) The
attempt to start a stampede against Mr.
Taft by the publication of an-Indorsement
of him from John D. Rockefeller has
failed, in spite of all the desperate at
tempts of Mr. Bryan and Chairman Mack
to convince the voters that It was evidence
of an understanding between the Republi
cans and the Standard Oil Company. The
promptness with which Mr. Bryan began
to use the Interview as campaign thun
der in his speeches the very morning of
Its publication aroused suspicion of col
lusion and Mr. Macks repeated fulmlna
tlons on the subject confirmed these sus
picions. It was only necessary for President
Roosevelt and Mr. Taft to speak in' order
to change these suspicions to certainty.
The President no sooner called attention
to the bitter hatred of his administration
harbored by Standard Oil than his con
clusion became obvious to every man
that the purpose of Rockefeller was to
Injure Mr. Taft by turning against the
candidate the antagonism which has for
years been directed at himself.
idr. Taft made this point still clear
er In his speech at Buffalo, when he
said the last thing Standard Oil would
do. if anxious to bring about his elec
tion, would be to advertise its support,
and that the prosecutions of the Stand
ard would be conttnued to the end.
With these points brought out so
plainly. Chairman Hitchcock's denial
that any campaign contributions had
been sought or received from the
Standard was almost superfluous. The
receipt by Mr. Roosevelt of many tele
grams from voters saying they had not
been received showed that the Repub
lican leaders rightly gauged the effect
of the interview when they paid so
little attention to it.
ItOCKEFELLEn TRICK KAILS
Telegram Assure President That
Labor Is Not Deceived.
WASHINGTON. Oct. SI. Following
up the statement issued last evening
from the White House regarding the
announcement made by John D. Rocke
feller, of his preference for Mr. Taft
In the Presidential struggle, a second
statement was issued today, as follows:
"The President has received numer
ous letters and telegrams, showing
that this trick of Rockefeller, doubt
less made by agreement with the
Democratic party, win tail ausoiuieiy.
It la self-evident on Its face, as Mr.
Taft has said, that If Mr. Rockefeller
had really wanted him elected he would
have kept quiet about it, and that he
has come out for him as being the way
In which he can damage him most."
The . following telegram also was
made public:
"Cleveland, O.. Oct. SI. 1908. The
President: The labor vote will rot be
deceived by Rockefeller's political trick.
We will bury him with Tom Johnson.
Cuyahoga County Is as safely Republi
can aa the state of Ohio, and the Elec
toral college.
"A. L. FAULKNER,
"President Window Glass Workers
of America."
DOES XOT WANT TAFT CHOSEN'
Knowing Public Opinion, Rockefel
ler Therefore Indorses Him.
CINCINNATI. O., Oct. 31. (Spe
cial.) An editorial In the Times-Star,
Charles P. Taft's paper, says:
If Mr. Archbold and Mr. Rogers and
the other active leaders of Standard
Oil really wanted the election of .Taft,
the lust thing they would do would be
to come out openly in favor of his
candidacy or allow Mr. Rockefeller to
do the same. They know public senti
ment as well as anybody. Standard
Oil has not-gained Its present remark
able position by the doing of emotional
and foolish things. And It is a fact
that should not be forgotten, that Mr.
Rockefeller gave out his pro-Taft
statement while he was making yie
second visit to 26 Broadway that he
has made since he retired from busi
ness 14 years ago. The Rockefeller
statement strengthens rather than
weakens the suspicion that Standard
Oil Is deeply Interested in the success
of this year's Democratic campaign.
"It Is a cheap campaign trick and
will fool no one. It is as transparent
as crystal and all who have followed
the work of President Roosevelt'a ad
ministration can see through and
around It."
So "was branded 'John D. Rockefel
ler's statement that he is for Taft and
against Bryan, by James R. Garfield,
Secretary of the Interior.
BASE HOPES ON RAILROAD MEN
Democrats Call Wyoming Donbtfnl,
Republicans Claim State.
CHEYENNE. Wyo.'. Oct. 31. Repub
lican Chairman C. W. Burdlclc claims
Wyoming for Taft, and Congressman
Frank W. Mondell "by substantial plu
ralities." but gives no figures. Demo
cratic Chairman D. N. stlckney declares
the state Is in the floubtful column,
both as to Presidential electors and
Congressman, though he, too. furnishes
no estimate of the vote. The Demo
cratic Congressional candidate Is Hay
den M. White. No state officers are
to be elected.
Indications are that the railroad la
bor vote, which was given almost sol
idly for Roosevelt four years ago, has
turned to Bryan, and this gives the
Democrats their hope of victory.
DEMOCRATS CONCEDE IDAHO
Taft's Majority Fixed at 15,000 by i
Chairman O'Xeil.
BOISE. Ida.. Oct. 31. The electoral vote
of Idaho Is conceded to Taft tonight by
Democratic 8tate Chairman Nugent, and
the Republican estimate of his majority Is
15.C00. Chairman CNeil of the Republican
State Committee claims the election of the
entire state ticket by the same figures.
The Democratic estimate, however. Indi
cates that the party is confident of carry
ing the election for state officers by a
4000 plurality vote.

Means at 11 o'clock this morning, in
which nearly a score of persons were
injured, some of them quite seriously,
in the riot which occurred in the court
nouse yard, revolvers were drawn,
knives flourished, brickbats hurled and
lists freely used. Fortunately, no shots
were fired and no deaths are to be
recorded, but feeling has not subsided
and a more dangerous encounter may
yet take place.
Some weeks ago the Democratic and
Republican managers agreed that there
should be no boodle used In the cam
paign and this morning the Democrats
called some Republican managers Into
conference and charged that the agree
ment waa being violated. The speciflo
charge was that Republicans have
evolved a scheme for buying votes.
It was claimed that two men had on
their persons at the time evidence in
the shape of marked ballots that would
prove the Democratic 'charges. Two
refused to submit to the search and
bolted. They were followed by the
Democrats.
In Ave minutes 200 men were rioting,
which began with the knocking down
of a man who called another a liar.
The fight was general In a few mo
ments and heads were cracked, hair
pulled and eyes gouged.

PBKIN, Oct. 31. The presence of the
second squadron of the American battle

now being entertained by the Chinese
Government, Is hardly known In Pekin.
The Chinese newspapers have said noth

the festivities in connection with the

visiting Americans.
The Japanese newspapers alone in Pe

doings at Amoy. Up to 6 o'clock this

still awaiting their coming. Neither had
