A Republican Since 1850 Now Splits His
Ticket.

ToTHREDIToR OF The SUS-Sir. II seems
to the writer that the legal way for Republic
cans to vote the Citizens ticket is to adopt
the method indicated in diagram a." fire.
quently appearing in your columns; !. e.. by
placing cross * marks in the voting spaces
in front Of each Republican candidate for
elector and then like cross tX) marks in the
squares in front of the names of D-Cady Her
rick. Francis Burton Harrison and John Cum
men, and continue this method to the
other candidates the honest Republican
elector wishes to vote for to effect his
purpose to rid this State Of Odellism.
This is the sure way 1t can be done delib
erately and will relieve the elector OF any
anxiety as to the fate Of his ballot. The
elector has Ave minutes In which TO prepare
his ballot, and following out this idea will not
take one-haf Of his time.
The law regulating voting says II an eleotor
wishes to vote straight ticket he shall put
a cross in the circle under the emblem. but
when he desires to vote split ticket land
conscientious Republicans are forced in this
campaign TO vote a split ticket "he shall not
make a cross mark In the circle above the
name Of any party. but should make a cross
mark in the voting space before the name OF
each candidate for whom he desires TO vote,
on whatever ticket he may be. as indicated
in diagram A" OF TIE Sun.
This is the mandatory direction OF the law
explicitly saying how split ticket Is legally
marked; and a ticket thus marked has never
been cast out by inspectors as void. The
inspectors have no right to speculate about
IL as to what the intention Of the voter was
1t is their duty to count the ticket. and such
tickets always have been counted The other
method indicated In diagram B" Of THE
Sun, Is the way to vote In disregard Of the
direction Of the law. Ballots thus cast are
subject to the decision Of the inspectors as
to the voters intentions, and have resulted
In discussion and in many instances have been
cast aside as void 1t Is much better for Re-
publicans. therefore. to vote the Citizens
ticket as Indicated In diagram "A than in

gram b, even II the latter way saves time.
This is an occasion for Republicans to con-
sumo little time and save the State. Ever

MARTINIQUE RELIEF FUND.
President Roosevelt Praises the Committee
for What They Have Done.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2O.-President Roose-
welt gave out to- day copy OF letter ne
ceived by him from William X, Corwine OF
New York, making a report OF the relief
fund subscribed OF account OF the sufferers
from the Martinique disaster In 1902. or
this fund, which is known as the National
Martinique and West Indian Islands Relief
Fund, there is a balance on hand, according
to Mr.. Corwine's report OF $50 .Sis.s2.
or the original fund, the sum OF $4,000
was sent to the Philippines for the relief
of suffering natives there. This was done
at the suggestion OF President Roosevelt
and with the consent OF the subscribers.
It has been voted that the balance be sent
to the Bishop of Martinique, to be used by
him in connection with the Asylum and
Home for the Aged.
President Roosevelt has written the fol-
lowing letter to Mr.. Corwine:
MY DEAR MIR. CoRwINE: Your letter OF
the 18th inst, enclosing the report OF the
National Martinique and West Indies he-
lief Committee, has been received.
Permit me to thank you for your letter,
and through you to extend my heartiest
acknowledr ment to the members Of the
committee for all they have done. To have
such busy men willing to undertake task
making such demands upon their time mot TO
speak Of their pecuniary contribuuons)
is matter for real congratulation on
the part of all who feel that II is this kind OF
public spirit which tells for more than any
thing else in good citizenship.
Hoping you will assure the members
of the committee Of my very real apprecia-
ton of what they have accomplished. am
Sincerely yours.

Music, Flame and Flapdoodle.

A day or two ago the Hon. HENRY
CONWAY DAVIS was dashing through a
piece of Virginia on his way to another
wild gallop through West Virginia on
his Arabian steed Pullman. The Hon.
JOHN WARWICK DANIEL, he Of the high
old Roman face and tragic voice, one
of the Davis troopers, cried to Vir-
ginia audience which had just been
addressed by the Marvellous Boy Of
eighty odd:
We have just come from West Virginia, which
Is in a burst of music and fame Of nre.'
Tender and beautiful words, worthy
of the imaginative and poetical mouth
that breathed them, hard and high!
Yet what are the facts in this poetry?
Was any music bursting or any fire fam
ing from the Hon. DAVID BENNETT HILL,
yelling against the Government and
kootooing to the Colorado dynamiters?
Not burst, not smell. West Virginia
was not stirred by the Wolfert's Rooster.
The old-fashioned @red and resonant
eloquenoe OF Mr.. DANIEL, the noble
countenance and periods of the Hon.
WILLIAM PINKNEY WHITE failed to
move. Even the admirable spectacle
Of Mr.. DAVIS, printing at an eight
speech a day gait, chatting his coeval
WHITE and the ingenious lad HILL,
throwing compliments and kisses at the
girls, has not been ornamented by any
music except occasional energetic and
we'll meaning brass bands; and few
torches and red coats and capes have
been its only flame.
West Virginia has been stoical to the
appeals to State pride. National issues
don't interest her. She hears Of Judge
PARKER as Of some forgotten, far of
thing. You can't get thrill out of her
by weeping over the PROSTATE Consti-
tuition and Filipinos. State issues, espe-
cially State taxation-that is what West
Virginia wants to hear about and even
Mr. DAVIS has had to talk about.
The Parker campaign being hope
less fizzle, the voters in West Virginia.
as in many other States, have turned
their attention to State matters. The
result Of the Presidential election is so
certain that there is absolutely no re-
straint upon the independent Repub-
lican voter. He knows that ROOSEVELT
will be elected, and no apprehension
about the national ticket interferes with
his resolution to cut the bowels out OF
unsatisfactory State candidates. Music
and fame and hapdoodle don't count
this year. This is the great year for
common sense and independent voting.

From Tie Syracuse Telegram.
The "Odell tag" Is still worn by Higgins.
The nominal Repub lican candidate for Gov
ernor has devoted most OF his speeches so
far 70 defence OF the Odell administration.
Higgins has not been able to explain his sub
serviency to Odell orders and his failure to
oppose odellism In any form during the past
four years.
Higgins has not explained why he supported
the Odel groceries measures; the Ellis
worth and Bracket lunacy and charities bills.
Higgins is still on record as having sup
ported legislation which, to meet State ex-
travagance, put a tax on the deposits Of the
widow. the orphan and the workingman and
farmer In the say ings banks.
Higgins still stands branded az having
voted for the canal steal which gave the
Furnaceville Iron Company eis.8lS OF the
peoples money.
Higgins Is still recognized as the only can
didate the Governor-C rman and Grocer
Boss had for Governor at the Republican
State convention. Smirched with Odellism
then. the stains remain now. Odell is manag-
ing Higgins's campaign and II Higgins should
by any public mischanoe be elected Governor,
0dell would manage his administration.
As election draws nearer the probable
plurality against Higgins increases. One
thing at least is certain in this campaign.
D-Cady Herrick is to be our next Governor.
and he will be elected by vote which will
forever stamp out Odellism in New York
State.

Odellism's Latest Triumph.

Odellism has created condition In
New York county that has driven its
citizens, regardless OF their political
affiliations, to Tammany Hall for the
protection of their rights. No other
management of the Republican machine
in New York has ever been guilty of an
attempt to disfranchlse a great number
of qualified voters and deprive them Of
the right to help manage their own
affairs. In the past it has been the Re-
publican party that has stood firmly for
full vote and fair count. To-day
Tammany is the champion of honest
elections, and the Governor of the State
has thrown the whole influence of his
Office into the scale for the intimidation
Of the voters.
What do Republicans think of the
situation he has brought about? Are
they pleased that the Grocery has driven
independents and party men alike to
the Democratic organization of New
York county for protection? What will
the effect be in the municipal campaign
of 1905? With the Grocery in operation,
dominating the city organization opposed
to Tammany, what effective appeal could
be made to those voters whose cause the
Wigwam has defended this year?
Odellism will have cost the Republican
party not only the State Government,
but any chance it might have OF winning
the municipal election of next year if it
is not crushed by the Republican ticket
splitters on Nov. s.

Register To-day!

To-day Friday, Oct. 81, is the third
day of registration in all cities and in
villages of 5000 or more inhabitants in
New York State. The places of regis
tration will be open all day, and any
man who will have reached 81 years Of
age on or before Nov. 8, who for ninety
days has been citizen, for one year
resident of the State, for four months
resident of the county since Oct. s
resident of the election district, and
who is not an unpardoned felon, is en-
titled to register. To register is his
right, and 1t cannot be taken from him
by any department or officer Of the
State If he is challenged, he must
make affidavit to his qualifications to be
registered. II his affidavit does not
convince the registration officers Of his
eligibility, he may appeal to the courts,
and lawyers to assist him will not be
wanting.
The answer of the citizens of New
York county to the Grocery's attempt
to bulldoze and intimidate them under
the cover Of law should be the greatest
registration in the history of the county.
The power to rebuke the Grocery lies in
the hands Of the citizens. 1t requires no
elaborate preparation OF expensive ma
chinery to exercise it. The Grocery has
warned them not to register. The suffi-
cient reply to it is for every qualified
elector to have his name placed on the
list, and to vote on Nov against the
ticket Of the Grocery.
Let the registration to-day be of such
proportions as to disabuse Odellism for
ever of the idea that it can rule the
State OF New York with the rule of the
Grocery.

the six States In the table except Ore
gon were carried by CLEVELAND in 1902,
by pluralities aggregating In the five
51,98l votes.
That shows how close Presidential
elections are and how doubtful. It Is
not improbable that in the coming cleo
ton the decision will be made by num-
Der OF voters In certain States which will
be not much greater.
What is the lesson9 1t Is for every
citizen to be sure to get his ballot In the
box on the 9Th Of November, and in
order to be qualified to vote he must be
registered. To-day and tomorrow are
the last days of registration In New
York, and at least one-third Of the oiti-
zens are as yet unregistered and there
fore unqualified for voting.
