NOT AFRAID OF WISCONSIN.
New York Papers Think That State
Safe On National Ticket.

|
New York, Oct. S.-The press of
New York comments freely on the
Wisconsin political situation as
affected by the La Toilette
victory over the "stalwarts," in the
supreme court decision which makes
the 'halfbreed' ticket the regular" re-
publican ticket.
The Press says:
There is no good republican in the
land who should not be uplifted by the
splendid light Governor La Toilette has
made and is winning, and who should
not acclaim his coming triumph as
personal victory.
The Evening Post says:
1t would have been hard for the Wis
consin supreme court to hand down
decision which would have less infiu-
ence on the political situation than
that of yesterday.
One thing, at least, can be assumed.
No considerable number of the men
who burned their bridges behind them
last spring and have taken part In the
stalWart campaign during the summer
will vote for La Toilette now. It is
questionable If many of them ever in
tended to support even their own re-
spectacle third ticket.
Nobody knows the exact numerical
strength of the stalwart movement, but
it unquestionably includes much more
than fifth of the republican party. He
would be rash indeed who attempted
prophecy on the data at hand, yet there
is certainly no reason for abandoning
hope either for a republican governor
or democratic success on the electoral
vote.
The Evening Sun says:
A good many of the Spooner-Q Quar-
les-Babcock voters will probably be in
spired to cast their ballots for the
democratic candidate for governor, who
is running on platform less objection
able to the stalwarts than the La Fol-
lette republicans On the other hand,
the presumption is that democrats who
want primary election and railway
taxation reform will vote for La Fol-
lette-there are good many indepen-
dents to the square mile in Wisconsin.
That the governors following Is be-
ing steadily depleted cannot be doubt
ed; even partisans admit that his sec
ond administration was not all that
could be desired by pure-hearted re-
formers. The election of the humorist,
Peck, who made a mediocre governor,
and an easy-going mayor of Milwau-
kee is more than probable. But there
SENS to be not the shadow of a doubt
I that the republican electoral ticket
will triumph by big majority, in spite
of trading which is to be expected.
The Globe says:
1t is only fair to Governor La Fol-
lettes friends to note that they have
been willing to have a trial on the
merits-an examination of all the facts
by the supreme court or any other i'm
partial tribunal. Indeed, altho early
opinion was against the La Toilette
faction, fuller Information has in
creased belief that It's case was the
better one, and that the credentials
committee of the national convention
acted in an ex parte manner.
The first effect of the decision, inn
plying as it does the presence of but
one set of Roosevelt electors on the Of
fetal ballot, is to remove Wisconsin
from the list of doubtful states. AS
to whether Governor La Follette's
chances of election have been improved
or lessened, is a matter of dispute.

KUROPATKIN COVERS
Moving Guns Rapidly to His Left to
Prevent laps Intended FIankins
Movement-War Will Be Lono.

st. Petersburg, Oct. s.-The meager-
ness of news from the front is increas-
ing the uncertainty regarding devel-
opments. There is good warrant for
the belief that Kuropatkin is strength
ening his left flank to meet the Japan
ese turning movement, his troops oc-
cupying a triangle, from Fushun to
Mukden and Tie Pass. Over 300 guns
have arrived at the front and the ac-
tivity of Russian skirmishers below
Hun river creates an impression that
Kuropatkin may contemplate assum-
ing the offensive.

Ex-President Cleveland is a good

st. Petersburg Papers Say War Must
Go On Indefinitely.
st. Petersburg, Oct. s.-Replying to
the statement of Count Okuma, leader
Of the japanese progressive party, that
the war with Russia would be long, but
that Japan would win in the end, the
Novoe Vremya this morning declares
the idea of possible compromise with
japan has been abandoned and that the
war must be prosecuted by Russia in
such a way that there can be no pos
sibility of the Japanese renewing the
struggle. 1t says Europe for thirty
years was under the menace of revenge
for Alsace. If we conclude peace with
Japan all our efforts in the far east
will be valueless."

bile, it's surface is devoid of decoration.
Barden City today seemed lige the
automobile headquarters of the world.
From early morning until late at night
the air was shattered by a constant
succession of explosions like volleys Of
artillery.
Men and women clad in the very lat
est furnishings of up-to-date automo-
bilism dashed here and there and
crowded the porches and palm rooms
of the Garden City hotel. Great ma
chimes of curious and wonderful make
roared and snorted to the great alarm
of many of the uninitiated.

the race. Every hotel and inn is packed
to it's doors and not another room could

In some places as many as ten men
are sleeping in one room. The prices
of everything went up 100 per cent and
what this great multitude will do for
food and drink tomorrow is a ques-
ton.
All day yesterday huge farmers wag-
ons numbered peacefully over the thirty
miles of roads that today is closed to
them. They took particular delight in
steering straight along the broad brown
ribbon in the center of the road along
which thousands of gallons of crude
petroleum had been sprinkled to lay the
dust.
Farmers Were Vindictive.
They calmly ignored the men who
were testing their machines over the
road and everybody had to make a
dash over into the deep dust at the
sides of the road to avoid them.
Every precaution that human fore
sight could perceive had been taken to
prevent accident to spectators. The
racers had to take care of themselves
Elaborate systems of flags and signals
were arranged and the course was
thoroughly policed from end to end by
men, who warned all persons of their
danger.
Gabriel was the leader of the French
group OF chauffeurs and many believed
he would win the cup. The other day
he had an accidental preliminary race
with Mr. Vanderbilt. When asked in
French what his highest speed had
been in the brush with Mr.. anderbii,
he replied with significant shrug that
it had been fully 14O kilometers (about
eighty-seven miles an hour. 1t was the
first test to which he had put his ma
chine on American soil and he was
satisfied with it.

ton should issue restraining the Auto
