UTICA, N. T.. Oct. 23,-Vlce President
James S. Sherman tonight contributed a
prepared address to the republican cam
paign, In which he dwelt upon two Issues
before the country, constitutional liberty
and Industrial opportunity.
This statement by Mr. Sherman, which
Misaddressed to the American people Is
practically , his only contribution to the
pre-election work of his party, the vice
president's health having made It Impos
sible for him to take an active part In
the campaign. The statement In part
follows:
"It has been a matter of keen regret
that I have not been able to take an
active part In the present campaign. The
restraint has been the more 'irksome as
1 have realized that we are passing
through a national crisis such as we have
not experienced since the civil war. It
U hard indeed to be only an onlooket
at such a time and I am almost impelled
Jo illsobey the doctor's orders and rush

I have private and public obligations for
which I must conserve my health. Still
I cannot refrain from sending out a few
sentences for which I ask the consider,
at ion of all my fellow citizens.
Two Great Isaacs.
"There are two great issues in this
campaign which stand out alone. One,
our constitutional liberty, the other in.
" dustrial opportunity., I realise fully the
spirit of unrest that has been aroused
during the last few years by muckrakerg
and demagogues. I appreciate most thor
oughly and join most heartily In the
desire for so-called social betterment. I
sm In full sympathy with every well
directed effort to elevate still further
your already high standard of living, to
; eradicate Injustice and lnquitous condi
tions In our social and industrial life,
but I ask in all seriousness If any evils
that have crept into our national affairs
can be eliminated by breaking down oui
' sonstitutton, by attacking the courts or
Increasing the power of the mob.
Happily I believe this threatening danger
which seemed to menace our institutions
lias been averted.
'-'But a great menace .remains. We can
not improve the present social and drlo
situation by tearing down existing In
dustrial conditions and abandoning oppor
tunity for Industrial and national prog
ress. The democratic platform of 1912, as
did the democratic platform of 1892, de
clares unconstitutional the Imposition
and collection of tariff duties, except
for revenue. The democrats candidate,
Jlr. Wilson, has declared that he would
repeal ail protective duties. The present
democratic house of representatives has
put Itself on record in favor of the lowest
possible Import rate: So we may assume
that In the event of democratlo success,
we shall have a tariff for revenue only.
Large Degree of Prosperity. ..
"We are today enjoying a larger degree
of prosperity, a greater volume of em-
ployment and higher individual and col
lective wage than ever before In our his
tory. No man need be Idle who can or
will work. The newspapers In their want
columns are printing tenfold more help
wanted than situation wanted advertise
ments. Our- farmers have harvested the
most valuable crop ever known, our rail
road facilities are taxed to their utmost
to handle it Our -merchants were never
so busy and our banks are bursting with
surplus funds. We are buying more
abroad than ever before and we are sell
ing largely, more than we buy, insuring
a favorable balance of trade to meet our
foreign obligations. Every year, under the
present tariff law, we have had a substan
tial treasury surplus. We are as con
tented, prosperous and happy as an am
bitious people can be who are ever seek
ing to improve conditions and to increase
a constantly growing Income. The issue
then. Is whether we shall go forward or
whether, as In 1816, 1846, 185T and 1884, un
der' low tariffs,'. we shall go backward.
; "Eagerly, Indeed, are the manufacturers
of Europe and elsewhere looking for an
entrance into and then possession of our
markets. Greedily, Indeed, are they envy
ing fifteen billions of bank deposits,, over
four billion dollars of which are the sav-
' ings of the working classes. A tariff suf
ficiently low for sufficient revenue with
out protection to our labor industries
means an importation, of billions of dol
lars worth of foreign goods to take the
place of our home products, with 1 re
sultant Idleness or a reduction -of Ameri
can wages to the foreign level.
Performance is Progress,
; -"This may not be a new idea, but it is
truth. It Is history. It is experience.' An
idle "impoverished, weak people cannot
make progress, either social or industrial.
We have been the most progressive peo
ple of all history and this has come

under republican legislation and admin
istration. -No individual or band of In
dividuals can appropriate the word 'pro
gressive.' Pretense is . not progress;
promise Is not progress: only perform
ance brings real progress and the attain
ments of the republican party have
brought us a national progress which
today Is the envy and admiration of the
civilized world.
"Shall we 'again destroy confidence?
Shall we open our ports and present
our splendid ' home -markets to 'Europe
and China and Japan? Shall we take
from our, people all Industrial oppor
tunity, driving them to idleness and de
pleting our capital and savings? The
tariff for revenue onl promised by our
opponents will do it quickly and it
would take years to recover.
"To re-elect President Taft would be
to follow experience and not experi
ment. The government would continue
to be safe In his hands. The nation's
affairs would be efficiently and eco
nomically managed. Both capital and
labor would be unaffected and ' safe
guarded against an inequitable foreign
tariff and unjust conditions at home.
Conditions of labor and production wer.
never more nearly ideal than now. Their
continuance can be assured only by the
continuation of the republican adminis
tration of President Taft."

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Dlrectois of the
three chief national political committees
hold widely different views as to the
best methods of running a presidential
campaign, according to information ob
tained from headquarters 4iere. showing
where hundreds of thousands of dollars
have gone this year. '
Magazine, newspaper, billboard, poster
and street car advertising, thrusting upon
the voter 'the name, achievements and
promises of President Taft, had beTi the
chief and most expensive feature of' the
republican nat'onal committee's canvass.
, The production and circulation of "lit
erature" arguments and news letters of
an educational nature for which no
money had to be paid for, publication,
has absorbed the greater part of the cash
collected by the progressive national
committee.
A general political campaign with one
half of the total expenditures devoted to
advert sing and publicity work, and fully
one-fifth given to the traveling expenses
of speakers, candidates- and special or
ganizers, has characterized the activities
of the democratic national committee.
Until the preliminary expenditure state
ments are made public, late this week, a
summary of tho expenditures from the
republican and progressive committees
will not be available. '

A rough estimate given out at demo
cratic headquarters showing where ap
proximately 550,000 has gone since the
presidential fight opened in July, fur
nished a basis, however, for comparison
as to methods In the different political
camps In a campaign which has been
conducted more nearly upon lines of busi
ness efficiency than any that have pre
ceded. Of the , total democratic expenditures
about $330,000 will cover the activities of
the "publicity end," It Is said. This In
cludes I50.0GO for direct advertising In
publications; tX0,000 for "boiler plate," or
the news service furnished to small coun
try newspapers, and a large sum spent
In publishing, mailing and circulating
literature.
The amount spent by the republican
committee for the direct advertising work
Is not yet available, but Secretary James
A. Reynolds stated yesterday that one
fifth 'of the entire amount 'spent by the
republicans has gone into advertising
contracts with' weekly magazines, and
one-tenth into poster and billboard ad
vertising. The committee h'as followed
a- "budget" of estimates prepared by Mr.
Reynolds at the beginning of the cam
pa gn In which over three-fifths of the
jtotal was set aside 'for advertising pur
to ! poses of all kinds.
"The " republican committee made a six
weeks', advertising contract with certain
weekly magazines, Including agricultural
papers and newspapejr Sunday supple
ments. Another advertising contract
made by Mr. Reynolds covers 22,561 bill
boards in states from coast to coast, and
still another contract for a display of
advertising slides In 1,200 moving picture
houses throughout the country.
Th democratic committee has also pat
ronized the moving pictures and has
spent about $6,030 In this form of ad
vertising. The progressive committee, on
the other hand, has received money from
certain moving picture concerns, photog
raphers and phonograph companies for
the privilege of reproducing views and
remarks of Colonel Roosevelt.
The democratlo national committee
spent about $30,000 for campaign buttons
and the republican committee about
$15,000.
Governor Wilson's special trains, ex
penses of other speakers, tours and of
national committeemen and like travel
ing expenses have cost the democratic
committee $SO,000. Neither President Taft
or Vice President Sherman has coBt the
republican campaign committee anything
In the way of traveling expenses. Tho
progressives have paid out substantial
sums for this claes of campaign work,
Colonel Roosevelt's western tour having
cost about $9,000.
Pout a ore and Pay Roll.
The democratlo and republican head
quarters In New York are each spending
more than $300 a day for postage ami
from $j0 to $100 a day for telegrams, and
like large sums are being spent at tho
Chicago headquarters. The democratic
national committee, according to an es
timate made by an official, has a dally
employes' pay roll of about $1,009 In New
York and $500 ljt Chicago, a larger outlay
for clerical work than either the repub
lican or progressive committees. Hall
and headquarters., rent and advertising
bannere have cost the democratlo com
mittee $15,000; expressage, $10,000; tele
phone service, $5,000; special labor or
ganizers and bureaus, $50,000, and news
paper cartoon service, $5,000.
. A complete system of file records and
card Index accounting systems were In
stalled in the democratic headquarters
Njnfore the expenditure of money began.
it is stated that as the result of the
close application of business methods in
the committee the contracts for the print

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-"Not a single
person, save the confessed murderer,
Jack Rose, has ever connected Becker
with these gunmen-Jack Rose, the hell
assassins, the hell of robbers who
of
Don and kill men." In these words John
P. Mclntyre, chief counsel for Police
Lieutenant Charles Becker, on trial for
the' murder of Herman Rosenthal, the
gambler, today sounded the keynote of
an appeal to the Jurors to acquit his
client of the murder.
He told the Jurors that In the first
place they must find, before convicting
Becker, that thejiour gunmen were guilty
of the k!lllng-"otherwise the case will
fail." Rose could not be believed, he
charged, because he was testifying to
t ave his t own life.

state's corroborating witnesses Luban
and Hallen and charged that the dis

had "fathered

a prosecution framed up
Testimony la Reviewed.
Mr. Mclntyre reviewed the evidence,
beginning with the testimony of the
state's witnesses. He declared that be
fore Beckor could be found guilty the
Jury must find that the four gunmen
were the actual slayers of Rosenthal;
otherwise the proof of conspiracy ? was
not valid.
"If others did it," he asserted, "Becker
is not guilty, and you must find beyond
reasonable doubt that' the gunmen did
it.. If you have any doubt about it, the
case fails."
Mr. Mclntyre spoke slowly, hardly rais
ing his voice above the ordinary con
versational tone at first, but pitching it
in higher key as he proceeded.
The Jurors settled down comfortably in
their chairs. Their eyes were fixed on
the lawyer.
Becker, sitting at the table with his
counsel, showed no trace of emotion. A
score or more women scattered through
out the court room gave close heed to
Becker's lawyer. The wife of the prls
oner was weeping before Mr. Mclntyre
fairly began.
"I am not defending these four men,"
continued Mr. Mclntyre, "their day will
come. But Is It not most abnormal that
we find Charles Becker here today
charged with murder, while these four
gunmen are untried?"
"Why weren't they tried first?"
