HAYES TRUE FRIEND
OF THE LABORER.
Opposes Plan to Take From the State
Work That Supports CalifOTnianS
Worth of Scheme to Pack Fruit in East Is Shown
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Instead of printing it to gain any
thoughtless votes as the Examiner has
done, Hayes gave it study, calling on
his fund of practical knowledge in the
fruit business. He decided that the
ideas advanced were impracticable,
and for the most part meretricious.
MAKES INVESTIGATION.
He investigated and found that in
stead of six packing houses there were
in the Santa Clara Valley alone fifty
cured fruit packing houses; that only
seven of these were on ground belong
ing to the railroad and these were not
the largest; that the packing houses
included those belonging to the
Mountain View Cooperative Associa-
ton, the Sunnyvale Cooperative As
sociation, the Santa Clara County
Fruit Exchange, representing over 500
growers; the Campbell Fruit Growers
Union, the Cupertino Association, the
Berryessa Growers Union, the East
Side Growers Union and the West
Side Growers Association, represent
ing very large proportion OF the or
chard acreage Of the valley. He found
that many other packers were grow
ers as well as packers He also de-
cided that to ship Santa Clara Valley
prunes to the East in bags altogether
would gravely increase the danger OF
loss from worms, since prunes. must
be processed with hot water to make
them proof against insect termination.
Further. he concluded that California
prunes and Santa Clara Valley prunes
would lose their individuality because
the dealers IN the East packing them
under their own brands could mix
them as thev pleased. The strongest
argument against Hennings project. IN
Hayes mind, aside from the incOnceiv-
able folly Of destroying our packing in
dustry, was that the grower would be
at the mercy Of the Eastern man, his
fruit would be much delayed in mar
keting and his prunes would have to
pay heavy local freight rates in the
East.
AT MERCY OF FASTENERS.
Prunes go in carload lots from Santa
Clara Valley to a thousand points in
the East 1t would be impossible to
have a thousand packing houses there
to do the work that forty-five do here.
AS a result the dealers in one or two
carloads would be at the mercy Of the
dealer in large centers like New York
and Chicago who had packing houses
Now he has the same freight rates
from San Jose as the larger dealer. but
under the Henning plan he would have
to pay anywhere from 81 to $40 per ton
additional local and handle the large
dealers brand. which would tend to
discourage him in handling. 1t Is in
comprehensive what folly has prompt
ed the Examiner to try TO DESTROY the
prune-packing industry Of Santa Clara,
Sonoma, San Joaquin and Sacramento
valleys; the raisin-packing industry OF
Fresno. the box making Industry Of
the Sierra Nevadas and the machinery
making of San Jose and San Francisco.
Hayes is firmly against this scheme Of
destruction to promote the candidacy
OF his opponent.

DEMOCRATS HOWL FRAUD"
Claim Wholesale Colonization Is Be-
ing Attempted i'm New York.


NEW YORK. Nov. 6.-The Demo-
cratic State Committee telegraphed
to county and town committeeman
along the Pennsylvania and Canadian
borders to-day as follows:
We have specific information that squads
of Republican colonizers from Pennsylvania
and Canada leaving to-day for your place.
They have been furnished with names and
addresses from the registry in your district
and will attempt to vote under these names.
Guard the depots with reliable men and use
every lawful effort to drive them out
The State Committee claims that
800 men left Sayre, Pa, yesterday for
Ithaca, Auburn. Geneva and Oswego;
that 200 men left for Elmira, Corn
ing and Hornellsville and that 500
men have been distributed in Falls
burg, Monticello and Liberty. The
committee further states that plans
were made to colonize Watertown,
Antwerp, Lawrenceville and Ogdens-
burg, all in New York State.

MONTANA IN DOUBT.
Rival Political Managers Claiming
Everything In Sight.

BUTTE, Nov. 6.-Republican man
ayers tonight express themselves as
very sanguine over the outlook, pre-
dieting that from further reports from
the outlying districts the belief is
strengthened that Montana will go for
Roosevelt by 1900, returning Joseph
NJ Dixon to Congress and electing a
Republican Legislature.
Democratic leaders declare there is
not the slightest doubt that Judge
Parker will carry the State by a good
majority, also that the next Legisla-
ture will be Democratic. The election
of Austin G. Gormley to Congress is
forecast. !.
The election of Governor ]. K.
Toole CD is practically conceded by
all parties.

WISCONSIN is SAFE.
Victory for the Roosevelt Electoral
Ticket Is Conceded.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis. Nov. 6.-That
the Roosevelt electoral ticket will
carry Wisconsin on Tuesday there
seems no question. Reports received
at the Republican State Central Com
mittee headquarters give the La Fol-
lette managers every reason to believe
that the Governor will be reelected
by a plurality ranging between $4,000
and $4,000. On the other hand, the
Democrats figure from their reports
that Peck will carry the State. Their
figures are based on the discomfort in
the Republican ranks and they add to
this about 1900 votes which they
claim were formerly for La Toilette,
but will not be cast for the Social
Democratic ticket. In the Congress
sional fight the Republicans are prac-
tically sure of carrying six of the
eleven districts and the Democrats

BROOKLYN EAGLES POLL
Result Indicates That Parker Will
Carry the Empire State.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-The Brook
lyn Eagle to-day issued the figures
from it's final postal card poll Of
Greater New York. The Eagle says:
The result given to-day is based upon data
gathered from return cards sent indiscriminate-
ly 10 about 90. 900 voters who registered on the
last four days of registration.
The Eagles New York figures give total
indicated Parker plurality in Greater New York
Of 1SO0T1, and indicated Herrick plurality
in Greater New York OF 23S91s.
The Eagle prints a forecast of the
vote In New York State outside of the
city based upon figures not gathered
by the Eagle, nor according to its
methods, but obtained from trust
worthy sources. This indicates a
Roosevelt plurality of 102, 127 above
the Bronx, a Parker plurality of Ill.,
54s below the Bronx and a Parker
plurality of 75.421 in the entire State.

CAMPAIGN OF CALUMNY.
Hayes Promptly RepeIs the Attack
of an migrate.

Opponents of E. A. Hayes are re-
sorting to every form of misrepresen-
tation to prevent his election to Con-
gress. In this style the nominee re-
plies to one accusation:
The statement contained In yesterdays Ex-
aminer, signed by Conrad Bontz, charging me
with having stated during the railway strike
OF 1895 that the strikers should be killed, is
an infamous falsehood. 1 never uttered such
infiammatory words in my life to any one.
Mr.. BontZ's entire talk is a tissue Of cum
ningly devised falsehoods invented for politi-
cal PURPOSES. 1 regret that Mr.. Bontz could
have found it in his heart to grossly mis-
represent me, particularly when during the
year and half he spent at Eden Vale he
never received anything but kindness. We
employed him when he in need.
during the days OF common depression, and
his ingratitude now Is quite beyond my COM
Drehension. E. A. HAYES.

CHEERFUL WORD FROM DAVIS.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Perry Bel
mont, acting chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Committee, gave out a
telegram which he had received from
n. G.. Davis. 1t was as follows:
= ELKINS, w. Val have just returned from
another campaigning tour O. the State. On
this "Trip on others during this campaign,
many Republicans have expressed to me
their sympathy and determination to support
our ticket We Democrats are confident OF
carrying West Virginia.

LANDSLIDE IN ILLINOIS.
Poll Shows Heavy Republican Gain
and Democratic Loss.


and Democratic Loss.
CHICAGO. Nov. 6.-At the wind
up Of the State campaign the Repub-
lican managers claim a plurality of
at least 10000 for Charles Dineen,
the Republican candidate for Cover
nor. This estimate allows him 10000
in Cook County and $4,000 outside.
In reaching these Figures the State
leaders have discounted reports they
received from organizations down the
State. A poll of precincts outside Of
Chicago has shown figures which
the men at headquarters have not
been able TO believe. Allowing a large
discount for enthusiasm and hopes"
they place Dineen's figures outside Of
Chicago at $4,000.
The poll Of the State. which gave
larger figures, was the most thorough
ever undertaken in Illinois. with one
exception. 1t was made through as
complete an organization as the State
ever had. Outside OF Chicago this poll
shows a vote of 124. 1920 for Dineen
and Roosevelt. These figures indicate
an increase of 6k per cent for the
Republican ticket and a decrease of
more than per cent for the Demo-
cratic ticket.
When the Dolltakers IN the various
precincts have been taxed with be-
ing too enthusiastic and not suffi-
ciently careful, they have come back
at the men at headquarters with a re-
iteration OF their figures and the as
sertion that they were absolutely cor
rect
One county showed an increase OF
so per cent in the Republican vote,
and stoutly defended its figures when
they were challenged.
The State managers. however, in
making estimates, shade these poll re-
suits. They cut more than 10000 off
the result predicted outside of Cook
County.

Heavy Registration in Idaho.

BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 6.-The regis
tration of the State foots up to $4,000.
about 10000 more than two years ago.
This increase produces a feature that
is very difficult to estimate. The Re-
publicans claim that they have fully
so per cent of the new settlers. Roose-
velt's majority in the State will be
above II, 900.

Careful Poll of State Indicates a Re-

RENO, Nov. 6.-The campaign in
Nevada is virtually closed, though
both parties will hold concluding DEM
onstrations in Reno tomorrow night.
A careful poll of the State seems to
indicate safe plurality for Roose-
velt.
The fight for United States Senator
and Congressman is exceedingly close.
An absolute prediction is impossible,
but the most conservative estimate

cans. Tuesdays vote will be the heavi-
est polled in Nevada in years.

diets a plurality Of from 100000 to

same vote for John p. Elkin, the Re-
publican nominee for Supreme Court
Judge. Elkin's Democratic opponent
IS Samuel G. Thomas, who holds the

WILMINGTON. Del. Nov. g.
About the most interesting develop
ment of the campaign in Delaware
to-day was the claim of the Demo-
Gratis that they would have a majority
in the next Legislature which is to
elect a United States Senator to sue
ceed Senator Ball. They give no fig
ures, but base their claim on detection
in the Republican ranks over the COM
promise candidate for Governor. The
Democrats still believe their candidate
for Governor will be elected, and that
Parker has good chance of carrying
the State.
The Republicans claim the Legisla-
ture and the State and national tick
cts, placing Roosevelt's majority at
about 5000.

LIGHT ON THE
PURE FOOD LAW
GOODS SOLD TO COMMISSION FOR
ANALYSIS DO NOT COUNT.
Ruling by Judge Dickinson in a Grape
Juice Case To-day-An Analysis
Had Been Asked, but No Report
Had Been Received.

Sales Of food products made to the
state dairy and food commission for
analysis do not constitute sales, under
the pure food law, which assumes that
the products sold must have been sold
for consumption. That is the gist of
a decision handed down by Judge
Dickinson Of the municipal court in
the case Of Charles S. Bracket. Mr..
Bracket was charged by the state
dairy and food commission with hav-
ing sold to the commission a quantity
Of grape juice which contained sally
ellie acid. It was admitted that the
grape juice had been sold for the pur-
poses of analysis and that a sample of
the consignment had been sent to the
commission ten days previously, but
that no report had been received.
Judge Dickinson held that Mr.. Brack-
EFT had not violated the law and dis
missed the case.
While the court officials believe that
the state dairy and food commission
ers have acted in good faith in their
efforts to enforce the pure food laws
they believe that in many cases the
commission has acted with bad judg-
ment. In the case decided this morn
ing, for example, the commissioners
were unable to explain why no repor
had been made upon the sample sem
by Mr.. Bracket for examination, We

KING OF SNEAK THIEVES.
He Says He and His Pal Were Re-
sponsible for the Daylight Jobs
Which Have Pelplexed the Authori-
ties They Took Long Chances.

TWenty-four mysterious daylight
robberies of Minneapolis residences
within the past six weeks, were ex-
planned to-day when Olaf Bjerke, alias
Olaf Lund, under arrest in st. Paul,
confessed that he had robbed nine of
were looted by him and Charles Nc
Donald, now under arrest at Omaha.
Bjerke also confessed that he and
Mcdonald robbed three st. Paul resi-
dences. Both will be tried in st. Paul.
The daylight robberies began
puzzling the Minneapolis police in the
holiday season. In two instances a
cured, and when these were COM
pared with facts already in the, hands
Of the st. Paul police, pointed to
Bjerke and Mcdonald. Some stolen
articles, disposed Of by Bjerke, were
identified and Bjerke was arrested.
According to Bjerke's confession, he
would call at a residence in the out
skirts and, if there was no one at
home, enter and help himself At
one place where the two were in the
house, the woman returned and found
them. They met her at the door and
explained that they were looking for
rooms. She saw some of her jeWelry
in their hands, but was too frightened
to stop them. At another place
where they were surprised, they ex-
planned that they were. solicitors and
were looking for a person whose name
they could not remember. -
Bjerke has criminal record, having
served a term in the reformatory at
st. Cloud, and a term at Saltwater for
grand larceny, having been sentenced
from Duluth. Mcdonald, also, has
served penitentiary sentences. Last
december he was acquitted in St. Paul
on charge of grand larceny.
