CUMBERLAND, Md, Oct. ga prominent
West Virginia politician who has been
making a canvass Of that State says that
while he honestly believes that John j.

which, while helping the State ticket, is
not making any votes for Parker and Davis.
While the outlook for Democratic success
on the State ticket is good. 1t IL just the
reverse when 1t comes to the national cln-
didates. West Virginia is in prosperous
condition, made 30, it is oontended, by the
Republican theory OF protection, hence
It can be rightfully chssed as pro

there by the national committee have be en-
making the tariff question one Of the prin-
cipal issues, which, instead Of benefiting
the party, is driving many Of those who
supported Bryan to vote for Roosevelt.
The tariff Issue, coupled With the fact
didnte Davis Is most unpopular with the
laboring class, Is a factor that is going to
hold West Virginia for Roosevelt. The
miners do not hesitate to say that they
consider Davis one Of the greatest foes

THE PEOPLE BEHIND ROOSEVELT
The Canal Only Dream Until lie Took
Advantage OF q Situation.

John Rooney, well known and
prominent Irish American Of Brooklyn,
stumped for Blaine, Garfield, Harrison and
Mckinley, and would be on the stump for
Roosevelt II his strength would permit.
This ia what Mr.. Rooney had to say yes
lerday on the issues OF the campaign:
"The main difficulty OF the Democratic
party in this campaign is that as party
that n or las positive or affirmative issue,
lis opposition 10 the Republican party lie
on questions that are approved virtually
by the whole American people. Theodore
Roosevelt has adhered TO his promise to
carry out the principles and policy Of the
late President Mckinley, but in so doing.
he has proved his splendid capacity In
way that even those who knew his intellect
ual versatility could scarce anticipate.
"Take, for ms, ance, his action in the
Panama Canal affair. When Balboa, some
400 years ago. crossed the Isthmus and dis
covered the Pacific Ocean, he predicted
that some day a canal would be out across
the eaf s o aae q the World
since 1t had been the dream OF great minds,
but 1t remained dream until Theodore
Roosevelt, with his characteristic intuition,
taking advantage Of situation vat accom-.
have denounced the method by which this
was done, asserting that we robbed Co.
lombia, but Judge Parker declares that II
elected the canal will be built. In other
words, the disingenuous Judge announces
that the Democratic party. II 1t has the
opportunity. is willing to receive stolen
goods. In securing the success Of the
Panama Canal President Roosevelt violated
no law, International or other. He carried
out the treaty OF 1s46, and extricated US
from the claws Of the political harpies OF
Bogota, and saved us from possible difficult
ties with France, whose interests were in
volved.
'The charge Of Imperialism has fallen
fiat. 1t was 100 absurd for serious thought.
The acquisition of the Philippines was a
necessary consequence Of the war for the
freedom of Cuba. The Democratic party
had as much to do in bringing about that
war as the Republicans; but with It's char
acteristio stupidity it attacks the conse-
quences OF its own kot Wehave the Philip
pines-a founding b,by on our doorstep
and we must keep them until able to take
care of themselves. When that time comes
we will do with them what we have done
with Cuba. When, for the first time in his.
tory, freedom was given to an oppressed
nation, the rulers of Europe said, These
Americans only want TO grab more terri
tory But wien tie last American soldier
marched out of Cuba they stood amazed.
To give the Filpinos imme diate freedom
would be like giving child razor to play
with"

FILIPINO'S RIGHT TO VOTE.
Troup OF New Haven Wants Pull Opinion
on Yale students Case.

NEW HAVEN, Oct. 29.-Ale1ander Troup,
one OF the Bryan leaders of New Eng
land, and former member Of the national
Democratic committee, to-day appealed
to the Attorney General Of the United
States for an opinion as to whether the
Yale Filipino student. j. F. Lagdameo
is an alien or a citizen Of the United States.
Mr.. Troup, before the board Of registra-
ton, yesterday made fight to have the
application OF the iipino to be made a
voter passed upon favorably. but the board
wouldn't swear him in on the ground that
he was an alien and should therefore
become naturalized before being made a
voter, as the laws Of this Safe require.
Mr.. Troup sent the following letter, to
the Attorney General this afternoon:
My DEAR SIR: J. E. Lagdameo,, Filipino
ton 70 the board Of, resistration TO be made
a voter. The board was q the opinion that
he Se coS IN
doubt as to what country he should forswear
allegiance. ard Lagdsme1 secured eonhsel
ton to demand his rights,
The matter having been brought l to the ex at
en b Of his Se sae p the
erals office by long distance telephone and
received the following reply; , s
has held that Filipino is not citizen OF
the United States. Therefore. II the law
of Connecticut requires a voter to be citizen.
he must be naturaliZed.
This opinion was furnished the board Of
registration and. If am correctly informed.
the board unanimously refused to make
Lagdameo a voter in the town of New Haven.
Subsequently | endeavored to get you by
long distance telephone at the Attorney
Generals Office. but was informed you were
out | then requested to be called when you
came in, but have not heard from you. Ny
object in calling you was to respectfully
submit the following questions:
l. What is the decision to which you referP
2 Does not the decision in Gonzales vs..
Williams, deided Jan. 4. 1904, apply to Fill
pinos AS well as to Porto kicans!
g. Are Filpinos aliens:
l. Can any but aliens be naturalized? The
Supreme Court in Gonzales VS.. Williams
leaves the open question as to whether the
accession of Porto Rico accomplished the
naturalization OF its people. and whether,
under the act OF 1900. citizen of Porto Rico
Is necessarily a citizen Of the United States.
5. ls it not equally as to Fiipinos?
g. Has there been any later decision?
7. II Filipino is not an alien under what
statute can he be naturalized, and to what
country will he forswear allegiance?

Says the Democrats VIII Have a2S Mem bers
or q Ma i0ritY Of a


WARRINGTON, Oct. Representative
William s. Cowherd of Missouri chair
man OF the Democratic Congressional
committee, gave out a signed statement
tonight containing his estimate of the
result OF the Congress elections. Mr..
Cowherd estimates that the Democrats
will have 22S members Of the next House Of
Representatives. or a majority OF so. With
four vacancies in the present House, the
Republicans have majority Of 80. No
detailed figures as to Congress districts
are furnished by Mr.. Cowherd. who oon-
fines himself to a general statement of the
number Of Representatives the Democrats
will have from each State mentioned. He
comedies a Republican gain Of one only,
and that in his own State.
A comparison Of Mr.. Cowherd's figures
with, the figures Of the political standing
OF each State delegation In the present
House, shows the following:
Democratic gains-California,s 1; Colo
RADIO, s; Connecticut, 8; Idaho, 1; Hin oils, 2;
Indiana, 8; Iowa, /; Kansas, 2; Maryland, 8;

Democratic losses-Missouri /. Total
Mr.. Cowherd' g claim Of a gain OF only
one Democratic Representative in New
York State Is regarded as remarkable
concession from a man 80 optimistic He
makes no claim to gains in Massachusetts,:
the States OF Idaho Montana, Utah and
Wyoming and the three Representatives
from Colorado are all claimed by Mr.. Cow
herd, although he admits that Idaho, Utah
and Wyoming are 'all dot btful," with
the Democratic chances excellent in two
Of the three. There is only one Democrat
but Mr.. Cowherd says that there will be
six in the Fiity-ninth Congress.

Supreme Court Upholds Registry Board

First Assembly district, because 1t refused to
register him, has disclosed q situation most
unsatisfactory to twenty or twenty five
men who for several years-some OF them
for many years-have regard ed the island
as their legal place Of residence.
Mayes represented. also. five other Gov
eminent employees on the island who
had been turned down by the board.
Eighteen employees Of the island were,
however. allowed to register under exactly
the same conditions as existed I'm Mayes g

ably lose their votes. Most Of the men
registered are Democrats.
Mayes is one OF the engineers employed
on the Governors Island ferryboat General
Hancock. He has been at the island since
1893 and has voted four or five times When
he came before the registry board this fall
he was told that he was not properly quail
fed under this law:
For the purpose Of, registering and voting
or lost a residence by reason Of his presence
or absence while employed IN the service
OF the United States nor while engaged In

business address and to which class he claims
to belong.
Mayes was told that they had never
fled the statement. Then he brought his
action In the Supreme Court, and Justice
Bischoff upheld the board OF registry.
A good many Of the eighteen who were
registered from the island and who, 1t 10
said, have never made the necessary state

had gone before the board five or six times:
One Of them, Michael Ledwige, captain OF

MARCHING CLUBS AND RED FIRE.
Rochester Republicans Think They Make
Moro Votes Than Speeches.

ROCHESTER,, Oct 29.-The Republican
leaders have been treating Rochesterians
to tho most unique camp align that the city
has ever known. All Of the energies
OF the county committee have been de-
voted to the organization OF monster
torchlight parades by uniformed march,
ing clubs and as a result hosts Of men,
brilliantly attired in military uniform
and carrying wooden muskets capped
with kerosene torches, are to be seen al
most every night in the week. On some
nights, when general parades Of all Of the
clubs have been ordered, as many as $500
men, with a score Of bands and two or three
hundred mounted men. have been in line.
And 90 they have marched, mile after mile,
from one end Of the city to the other
through avenues brilliantly lighted with
colored fire and fireworks.
Uniformed marching clubs have been
hobby with Rochesterians for the last
three or four Presidential campaigns, but
never has the idea been carried out on
such an elaborate and extensive scale as
1t has been done this year Each Of the
twenty wards OF the city has its own uni
formed club, turning out anywhere from
ffty TO 200 men each besides which there
are half dozen general clubs that recruit
their membership from the city at large.
The wisdom OF this method Of campaign
inc. to the almost total exclusion Of speeches
and mass meetings, remains to be seen.
Rut Il ia very evident Ii at 1t Is an expensive
sort Of campaigning is s he bsa sas
Ao. 900 and $50, 900. This includes the uni
lorna. which cost from IS to $40 each; the
bands. the wooden muskets, torches, colored
fire and fireworks, and the horses. AS
compared with this it is said that the cost

Rut the Republican leaders believe that
tho clubs have made votes. That mans
vote may be swayed by such allurements
NAV not reflect very high order OF in
telligence on the part OF the Soter ,h nat the
rssults will be very satisfactory. Every
thing has given way to the parades; only

during the campaign, and for the first
time In many years not even canvass
