HITCHCOCK'S ftlAHAGEMENT QUES KOCH TAKES PI11T PART II CONGRESS r.i HIKE LIEU CRUSHED OEHEAT WRECKED WORK IRAKI BACK II POINTS ' TIONED BY PRESIDENT El YORK TEA FALLS Many Cdmpaign Criti cisms Reach "Teddy" MUST EXPLAIN TODAY Chairman Will Visit White House Today For Conference With the President DISCOURTEOUS TO LEADER! Report Reaches Preildent That Hitchcock'a Treatment Toward Prominent Republican Leader Hai Not Been Juat Right. 1 WASHINGTON, Oct. i. Chair matt Ilitchock of the republican na tional committee, it expected in Washington tomorrow and a general understanding it here, that while In the city he will call on the president for the urpote of changing views with him regarding the conduct of campaign on behalf of Secretary Taft. ! It was reported here today that the president had summoned . Hitchcock . for the purpose of requesting from him an explanation of the many criti cism which have recently come to the White House concerning the management affairs both in New York and Chicago but Secretary Loeb tonight denied portions of the report which arc attributed to Hitch cock's coming to a special request from the president. There is however, excellent author ity for the statement that a number of complaints as to the management of the campaign have reached the executive mansion and the under standing is that although he will not request the presence of the chairman of the national committee the presi dent will welcome an opportunity to talk with him and obtain from him such explanation of these criticisms as he may be able to make. Censure seems to point to the fact that there has not been the usual co operation between the national com mittee and congressional committee. Complaints jt is understood have come from the republican candidates for congress. On the other hand it has been explained to the president that the national chairman has been very1 busy arranging details of , the campaign and has been inclined to give the major portion of his time to REPUBLICANS WILL HOLD THEIR OWN Judge Taft Pleased by Conditions and Says Party Will Carry Usual Majorities OMAHA, Oct. l.-"I am going to bo.electcd." This statement was made tonight by Judge Taft, sums up in a word what the candidate thinks of the effect of his speech-making tour thus far. This belief is based, Taft explained on the manner of his re ception in the states thus far tra versed, in which there were reported to be defections among the republi can ranks. As, to the national ticket, Taft now believe there -is no reason to doubt that the , republicans, party will hold its own, and should this ' prove to, be the case, Taft says there 'ff'fwi;w that subject, considering the con gressional committee abundantly able to look after the interests of the congressional candidates without his particular assistance. Reports of discourteous treatment at national headquarters 'toward prominent republicans have also reached the president, and while it probably is not his purpose to inquire into details of , office management of committee affairs, he is so thoroughly impreNed. with the imprtance of ab solute party harmony that he feels no matter too small for his attention.

BRYAN CRITICIZES TAFT Oil CARPI!! FUNDS DECLARES PUBLIC SHOULD KNOW WHERE CONTRIBU ! TIONS COME FROM. NECESSARY BEFORE ELECTION Democrat Concludes by Asserting ' That Taft Must be Expecting Con tributions From Sources That Would Arouse Suspicion. LINCOLN, Oct. 1. Declaring that "Every disinterested voter knows that large contributions have been used to secure mortgages upon offic ials," Colonel Bryan tonight issued at Fairview a statement criticising Taft's' adopting President Roose velt's announced views on the sub ject of publicity of campaign contri butions. Bryan expresses surprise that Taft should have adopted Roose velt's view and then goes on to ar gue that publication of campaign ex penses before election is necessary to show whether corrupt methods have been employed in the election; and to show the main sources from which the contributions come in order that the public may know which party predatory interests are support ing.' Bryan takes particular notice of Judge Taft's statement that candi dates will be charged in tase of pub licity before the election, with being completely under the control of those who make the contributions. Bryan declares this to be an insult to the intelligence of voters and does little credit to Taft's judgment of men RAILROADS CLAIM NEW RATE UNJUST Government Attorneys File Demurrer to Complaint Filed by Railroads Regarding Interstate Action SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.
