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

Owing to the carelessness with which
Virginia Is said to have Issued grants Just

resulted as to the true owners of the land
In the twenty eastern counties of that

It Is said that Kentucky did little better
than Virginia during the flrtt years of
Its history. As a result additional blan

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

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.

Recent legislation In Kentucky resulted
In decisions by the state courts which

CHICAGO. Oct. .Governor W. R.
Stubbs of KHns on the witness stand be
fore the Interstate Commerce commission
today in the proposed freight rate Increase
hearing, declared that Me could reproduce
tit a profit to himself as a railroad con
tractor all the main line." of railroad In the
state nt $r.ono a mile and for Jlfi.tmn a mile
lei's reproduce the branch lines In the state.
In addition to presenting these estimates
ns a rallrosd contractor, the railroad re
production figures being many times as
large as his figures, Governor Stubbs de
clared that he viewed the railroad situation
liberally, but he rmtested vlgorouely
against stock manipulation and excessive
valuation of properties.
'1 don't believe the carrier should be
trodden down." snld Governor Stubbs. "but
he should bo made to show to the Inter
state Commerce commission what he has
Invested. He should have a liberal return
on his actual Investment but bo ought to
bring In lil? books and show Just what he
ow ns.
reople Are to Blame.
"The people are a good deal to blame for
the present conditions. They have allowed
the conditions to grow up and many per
sons have bought stocks and bonds of the
railroads on the hope of abnormal returns.
And all the while the carriers have taken
millions and millions nut of the returns
to build expensive structures and then the
next year hivn capitalized the structures
and expect to pay dividends on the In
creased capitalisation. But there. I do not
want to make a speech."
"I think it is a fraud, an absolute fraud."
continued the witness, - "for a railroad to
take out millions from Its earning and
build permanent structures and Improve
cars snd at the end of the year take out
lr,00n,ooo. as (he Santa Fe did, and appro
priate It to be used for betterments and Im
provements and then say only $;'J!6,0flO of net
revenue was on hand when, as a matter of
fact, they hod $8,00(1.000 and had takes! out
all Ttlnds of money for improvement."'
Governor Stubbs declared that at his fig
ures of $25,44 a mile of main line road he
would make t3Q.00O.0O0 on a contract to re
produce the Kansas railroads. ,
Concrete ICxample Cited.
"I had a proposition up about four years
ago," said Governor Stubbs, "to put a line
InO miles long through the best part of
Kansas from Belleville to Wichita. I
agreed to build the roHd, furnish the right-of-way.
lay hard wood ties and furnish
everything for $16,000 a mile and I would
have made money on the Job, but the rail
roads did not want It. I think they had j
an agreement and did not want a north
and south line In Kansas. The right-of-way
would have been donated. Talk about
right-of-way. Why. gentlemen, one-sixth
of the land in Kansas has been given to
the railroads."
Tn his testimony Governor Stubbs de
clared :
"The curse of the ratroad business In
this country Is stock Juggling and high
finance. Stop this high finance. Make
every dollar of capitalization represent a
dollar Invested In the road and people will
fall over themselves to buy raiiroad stocks
and bonds."
Mlsaonrl Pacific Improving;.
Governor W. It. Stubbs was preceded on
the witness stand by Frank B. Ryan, state
board of railway commissioners, William
Mulrhead ot Topeka. special assistant to
the attorney general of Kansas , and J. R.
White, traffic manager of a big Kansas
City dry goods house.
Mr. Ryan and Mr. Mulrhead told of a
lamentable condition of the properties of
the Missouri Pacific In 1W7, when, Ryan
said, people were afraid to ride on It, and
of subsequent Improvement", while Mr.
White related that prior to 1W6 and the
passage of the Hepburn act rebating was
generally practiced.
"Hot ween lfop and 1905." said Mr. White,
"we paid from 30 to 44 centa less than the
$1.17 rate from the Atlantlo seaboard. This
condition wa not exceptional with us; It
was a mattar of common knowledge that
others were allowed the low rates."

SEVERAL WAGONS ARE ATTACKED
Uosens of strikebreakers and Mem
bers of Mobs Are Clabbed by
Polloe Troops Moy Be Sent
to Jersey Otf. '
' NEW YORK, Oct. 28. Rioting of a seri
ous chs ractor .occurred touay In connection
with the' strike of express company em
ployes tn the metropolitan ' district.
No fataUties Were reported, but men were
knocked unconscious right and left Ir the
assaults of mobs on express wagons, doiehs
Of strike breakers were badly beaten and
many mob members were severely clubbed
by the polios In repelling the attacks.
Scores were Injured, several badly. In the
most serious attack of the day on a party
of strike breakers In Wells, Fargo A Co.'s
wagons in Jersey City.
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.

Will Hitchcock Put It Back?
Embarrassing I W ell, I Guess!
' Weat Point KepubUcan..
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.
