"If Mr. Taft con Una to make as good a president as ho la making now he will be the natural and Inevitable candidal ot his party In 1M2 unless on thing hsppona and that is tnat the people of the I'nlted Rate shall re- I piidlate the administration of Mr. Taft by I such a crushing ana overwhelming oeieai ; of hts party that It will be apparent that Mr. Taft can not be re-elected." This ih the statement made tonight by United Status Senator Kllhu IV Kit In a speech at Manhattan Casino. It had been i hinted that he would say something about cntaMlnos of the republican party's national policy involved In the New York state Cam piUgn. Mr. Root addressed himself particularly t those republicans who might stand will ing to vote ajtslnst the republican guberna torial candidate for the sake of rebuking Theodore Roosevelt and declared that re publican defeat In the state this fall would be even more of a blow to the national ad ministration than to Colonel Roosevelt. In fact, he said, a democratic victory In New Tork would more likely turn the next na tional convention away from an adminis tration that could not hold Its party to gether and toward Mr. Roosevelt or "to one of the four more radical leaders now looming up on the political horizon In the north and middle west." Contrary to some expectations Senator Root brought no -dlreot pledge from Col onel Roosevelt regarding his attitude toward the nomination In l''tJ Some 1114 fired.' "A good many republicans at this time." said Senator . Root, "seem disposed to Ignore all the grave and substantial Issues whloh are before the people of this state and to rote at the coming election on no Issue whatever, but simply as an expres sion of feeling against Mr. Roosrvelt, whose course regarding national affairs they disapprove for one reason or another and whom they desire io punish by de feating the party to whloh they belong, in which they believe and which they have long loyally supported, because be holds a distinguished and pete' place In the coun cils and activities of the party. "It should be observed that the declara tion of this Intention cuts both ways. Wherever a man declares he will vol against the republican ticket, because he does not like Roosevelt. fTTere will be others who will vote for the ticket because they do like Roosevelt and because they feel that with his tremendous force and cour age and ability he has done a nohle and much-needed work for honesty, purity, equality and freedom tn the political life ot our country. My guess would be that If the Issue In tbls state were whether Mr. Roosevelt has reflected oredlt and honor to the republican part', on our state and on our country, or the contrary, there would be a vary large majority In. the af firmative. Taft Growing la Ksteem. "It Is said that we must consider now the nomination for the presidency In 1912. Well. Mr. Taft is president of the United piste; a republican president: a strong, wise, considerate and fearless man. Hi has the qualities wlilch make a man grow (n the estimation of thoughtful people and lying back of all the clamor and excite nient of our political life, the American people arc thoughtful people. lie has grown and Is growing and will continue to (row in public esteem. If he continues to make as good a president as he Is making now he will be the natural and Inevitable candidate of his party in 1113 unless one thing shall happen that the people of the t'nited States shall repudiate the adminis tration of Mr. Taft by such a crushing and overwhelming defeat of his party that U will bo apparent that Mr. Taft cannot be reelected. The democratic party cannot bring about such a result, but the repub licans can by their adverse votes. Ilesalt mt Flection Oaly Consideration. "After election people don't scrutinise the multitude of reasons which may have con tributed to the result. They only see the teneral result and If It should happen that lis administration cannot hold Its own party together the national convention would be quite likely to look for a Moses to lead them out of the wilderness and they might go to Mr. Roosevelt or they might go to one of the far more raih'ai loaders who ate now looming on the po litical hoiison In the north and nil.

An emrlre, larger than the entire state of Pclaware or the Island of Porto lUco. lying In the atata of Kentucky, Is the prise at stake today In the supreme court of the I'nlted States. Presentation of the controversy to the supreme court today In oral arguments will reveal an unusual story In the western advance of American civilization. Owing to the carelessness with which Virginia Is said to have Issued grants Just after the revolutionary war to the tinsur veyed and little known lands In what Is now eastern Kentucky, great confusion 1ms resulted as to the true owners of the land In the twenty eastern counties of that commonwealth. To add to tills confusion, It Is said that Kentucky did little better than Virginia during the flrtt years of Its history. As a result additional blan ket" grants made by the new mate are now challenged. Jn all about 2,WK),ono acres of land are said to lie under the doubtful title of these "blanket" grants. Of this amount the eastern Kentucky coal land corporation, of which C. B. Hlllhoiiso is accredited with being the chief stock owner, claims title to half a million acres, On the other hand, JOO.000 citizens of the state of Kentucky have entered these lands. uiaimants under the "blanket" grants call them "squatters. " The attorney general of Kentucky has appeared In the supremo court to assert In defense of their claim of title that they are the people who have built up the state and have for years. paid taxes on the land Recent legislation In Kentucky resulted In decisions by the state courts which took, away any title which claimants under the blanket grants might have had. These claimants now come to the supreme court In a final appeal. Cold Wave Strikes South and East Freezing: Temperature Reported in Oklahoma and Northern Louisiana Frost on Gulf Tonight.

"The people are a good deal to blame for the present conditions.

Governor Fort Is understood to be ready to call out the mllltla In New Jersey If the situation grows more serious. Mob Pnrsaea Wan-on. The first outbreak of violence In this city occurred today at Fifth avenue and Forty sixth street.' There were some ISO strikers and their sympathisers gathered at the cor ner when an American Kx press company's wagon drove up. The mob pelted the drivers with stones and grabbed the reins. Two policemen suceeded in driving the attackers back as the express drivers turned about and galloped the horses back to the stable. There they abandoned the outfit. Short Ir after the first attack another J took place at Madison avenue and Forty second street. The driver of this team saw the crowd rushing toward him and he abandoned his horses and fled. The police dispersed the crowd. Decisive action of some sort on the New Jersey side of the river was expected today following last night's serious rioting, In which two policemen were badly injured and a number of strike" breakers terribly beaten by an angry mob of strike sym pathisers. Msyor Witthen and Chief of Police Monahsn of Jersey City, however, insisted that the city authorities ars able to oope with the situation. The Adams Express company mads no effort today to send out any of its wagons. On the other hand, the American Express company seemed determined to carry on its street deliveries and collections. All of the drivers of the Adams Express company In Manhattan who remained faith ful to the company yesterday went out on strike today. Two hundred more ot the helpers and drivers of the American Ex press company also Joined the ranks of the strikers. Disorder la Jersey City. While there were more disorders In Jersey City today the early outbreaks were not as serious as last night's rioting. ' An Adams express wagon was attacked near a ferry by a crowd of men, all armed with clubs and sticks. Btones were thrown and the strike breakers were badly beaten. The horses were unhitched and the wagon was toppled over .across the railroad tracks. (Contlnued on Second Page t No trouble about rooms. The good ones are advertised in today's Bee.

Developments In th Hitchcock-Howard controversy during the last week have been decidedly beni-atlonal and It begins to look as though the Colum bus editor wasn't bluffing a little bit when he made his graft charges against the democratic candidate for the high of fice of L'nited Htatea senator. A fac simile ot the letter from Ilitchcock la, at least, prima facie evidence of guilt and rill take mora than a denial, however vigorously and ingenious it may be, to over come It. Since bis denial, other evidences of guilt have accumulated and now one of the original parties to the questionable transaction, Mr. Hartley, appeara on the scene and not only affirms Hitchcock s guilt but says, also, that Hitchcock still owes the greater part of the money, hav ing refused to pay in 1904 on the ground of it being outlawed- Id la an embarrassing situation and it looks like the down and out club for Mr. Hitchcock.
