ported the minority bond provision pro-

Secretary Gage. who. he said, recently ex-
pressed before the committee on finance

sorh such Q loan as was proposed.

the senator, was father to the thought.

Not only does it not scare anybody, but

Hanna's Visit and Its Significance.
But the North Carolina republicans are
not the only ones who are greatly disturbed
at the outlook. The policy of the republl-

elections which showed such slump in the
republican vote, they have kept on claim

VAN WYCK GROWS

Republicans Of New York State
Recognize This Fact Making
Desperate Fight.
JUDGES NOMINATION WISE
Time Has Long Since Gone by When
This "Tammany" Scare Had
Amy Effect on Voters.

New York, October 6.-(Special Cor
respondence.)-Th truth of the po-
litical situation here in New York
and it is Il fact recognized by
republicans as We'll as democrats-is
that the strength of the Van Wyck nomina-
ton has impressed itself more emphatical-
ly each hour since the nomination was
made and the political prophets, instead Of
figuring on the result are now engaged
In figuring out the size of the plurality by
which Roosevelt will be beaten.
1t IS a fact not generally recognized out
side OF New York that it was the strength
of this Judge Van Wyck which led to the
nomination of the other juoge as the may
orally candidate for tho democracy OF the
Greater New York and 1t also to this
strength of Judge Augustus Van Wyck
that the election of the present mayor was
largely due.
1t was because Of the prominence of the
Brooklyn judge in the councils OF the par
ty and of the warm friendship existing be-
tween him and Mclaughlin, the mead or
the democratic organization on that side OF
the river that BOB Van WyCk was nom
mated, it being recognized that he, Dettet
than any other man, could draw cloSeiy
together all the different factions OF the
straight democracy. The wisdom OF the
nomination became apparent as soon as II
was made and it was emphasized Whch
the count of votes showed that Lows vote
in Brooklyn his nome, was not nearly
what the republican managers had expect
ed This they charged mp against the pop
uIarity of Judge Augustus Naa NNck,
whose homo is also in Brooklyn, and they
were cmincnty correct III their diagnosis

Oh, you will not mind the journey with such
blessedness in store,
When the road leads home.
Oh you will not mind the roughness nor the
steerness of the way
Nor the chill. unrested morning, nor the drear-
ness of the day;
And you will not take turning to the left or to
the right,
But go straight ahead nor trembe at the coming
of the night,
For the road leads home.
And often for your comfort you will read the
guide and chart:
1t has wisdom for the mind and sweet SOlace for
the heart,
1t will serve you as a mentor it will guide you
and straight
All the time that you will journey, be the ending

And the road leads home.
Then let the winds blow chilly. they not chill

Let the burdens press full heavy, and bravely
bear your part;
You have only once to travel Ger the rough and
thorny way,
And there always comes sunset to the longest,
