HEARST TO RUN HARRISON Chicago Republican Kxultant Over I'roMieet of PWlUed Vote. CHICAGO. Sept. S4.Special. Having met signal fallurt. In their effort to gain control of the Deirocratlc state organi sation. Hearst forces planne I today to try again the plan of an independent campaign. Carter H. Harrison, who has allied himself with Hearst forces, is be ing urged by them to become an Inde pendent candidate for Mayor next Spring. Inasmuch as Republicans tacitly admit that Mayor Busse will be a candidate for re-election and that he probably will receive the nomination, this makes the Spring flsht a three-cornered one. Uusse supporters were exultant when they heard of the Hearst plans. They figure that Harrison still has suf ficient strength to split the Democratic vote at the election, and thut thus he will bring about the defeat of Andrew Graham If he shall be a regular nomi neeand make possible the election of a Republican, the prevent Mayor being the Republican in question.

Further Powers says that Wardall called Mm up by phone taex evening and told him not to believe all of what was printed in the Time of yesterday as tomlng from the Acting Mayor with ref erence to grafting policemen. Ward-ll denies that he retracted any thing he said yesterday regarding the police and grafting. The Acting Mayor's charges of whole sale graft in the Police Department are absolutely unfounded, uncalled for and unjustifiable from any Mandpolnt." em phatically declared Powers this morning, inspector Powers has been for 20 years in the Tollce Department, "ills charges as I have said, are utterly absurd and unfounded. They are cruel and un called for. They tend to demoralise and cripple the department. Some of the best men we have, men who have been here for years who know not what fear is. whose conduct and whose lives have been examples of upright character and Integrity, feci the sting of the Acting Maors charges so keenly that I had to beg some of them to remain In the de partment after they heard what the Mayor said yesterday. Conditions Not Very Bad. "The Acting Mayor says that the con ditions of the- district are worse than ever. I say they are not. They were worse In some pa.-t administrations than now And they are now much better than they have been In tl psst. They were worse even during the administration of ft OR ex-Mayor R- A. Ballinger, though he was called .a good Mayor. Capt. Claud Bannlck yesterday after noon declined first the assignment In charge of the restricted district and later the Acting Mayor's offer of the lob of Chief of Police. Bannlck re fused the first offer because he said his tenure of the Job would be made unendurable by the reprisals of others on the force. If Wardall. during his temporary hold on the reigns of city government, will Insist on a new police chief he undoubted;y will have to look outside the department for such a man. It would be the he'ght of folly, assert the departmental officers, for any man holding his office by reason of police service and by civil service rules, to surrender his standing to become head of the department for so short a time as the absence of Mayor H. C- Gill from the city Indicates. The civil service rules specifically provide that any member of the de partment accepting the police chief position rellnaulshes his standing In he department. Chinese Ituld Significant. Receipts written in Chinese, which were found It a safe seised In a Chi nese gambling Joint by the sheriff last week, show that gambling conducted by a syndicate of 14 Chinamen has been In continuous progress since 1905 and has netted the syndicate nearly 1500.- 000. The papers show that up to six months ago the net proceeds for the past five years have varied between S100 and $150 a day. but that in the ast six months they have swelled to from 1300 to 0A a day.

The Democratic state campaign opened here today with Uovernor Harmon, candidate for reelection and the choice of Ohio Democrats for the Presidential nomination in 1912, as the chief feature of tho programme. The Republican campaign opened a week ago today In Kenton. In his keynote speech today. Gover nor Harmon scored the present Na tional Administration and told his hear ers that the only hope for the people luy In the success of a National Demo cratic ticket The speaker declared that wasteful expenditures had led the Republican party to overtax the Nation to the ex tent of $300,000,000. and attacked the I'ayne-Aldrich tariff revision as legis tutlnn onnosed to the interests of the consumers. He said that tho Republi can party had not kept Its campaign promises. "Congress Is now appropriating a bil lion' dollars at each session," said Governor Harmon, "every cent of which Is levied on the people of the country by taxation in some form. It is con fessed that extravagance and misman agement cause a waste of not less than $300,000,000 each year In the ordinary conduct of the Government, which Is more than the combined expenditures of all the states In the Union. It is surely time the people' should bestir themselves, for every one t them Is compelled to pay Federal taxes on al most everything he buys for consump tion or other use, whether . he owns property or not. VAnd everyone Is not only compelled to contribute to this enormous outlay of the Federal Government, but Is also made to pay a much greater amount In the form of Increased prices on goods made In this country because of a tariff law framed for the express purpose of making him do this to swell the profits of the manufacturers.' Atlee Pomerene, candidate for Lieuten ant-Governor, followed Governor Harmon. He made a bitter attack upon George B. Cox, of Cincinnati and Incidentally scored President Taft for the alliance which the Speaker said the President had mde with the Cincinnati leader In 1908. Mr. Pomerene declared that the State of Ohio might be willing to trust Mr. Harding alone, but it would never trust Harding and Cox. C. A.
