night regarding the matter.
Senator Bailey admits securing
money from President Pierce of the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company to the
amount of some $4,000. as charged
by Attorney General Davidson, but says
it was in the nature of loan. and
that he is prepared to prove his state
ments to that effect. He admits hav-
ing secured several sums of money from
Pierce, among the number specified
being a loan of $4,000. which he secured
of Pierce when he needed some money
in hurry, and which he says he re-
turned in season. He says that Pierce
was never able to find his note when
he went to settle it, but that Pierce
gave him an acknowledgment In
munication: that these matters are of
documentary evidence which should
prove conclusively that there was moth
ing underhanded about any of his ac-
tions
Bailey asked Attorney General Da-
wilson today to furnish him with all
the records he held that showed that
Bailey had received money from Pierce
or the Pierce Oil Company.
This the Attorney General declined to
do, saying Bailey knew whether he had
received any money from these oil in
terests and Pierce, but if in written
communication to him Senator Bailey
would say that he had not received any
money from Pierce he would show him
the documentary evidence. In reply to
this challenge Senator Bailey said:

you must have known. If you are fa-

Consul General Declares
misunderstanding Exists
on the japanese Question
POINTS TO FIGURES
USED BY METCALF
Believes They May Have
Influenced the Attitude
of Roosevelt on Schools

Japanese Consul General K.
Uyeno, who has deferentially re-
Trained from discussing the Jap
anese school segregation question
since it has been made the subject
of international negotiation, con-
sented to put aside his reticence
yesterday when questioned con-
cerning the effect the recommen-
dations made In the message of
President Roosevelt had upon the
Japanese in San Francisco.
Sentiment is practically uni
versal among the ten thousand
Japanese in San Francisco that
the recommendations made by the
President constitute the most
rational solution of American
Japanese problems yet attempt
ed," he said. "The Japanese are
not only pleased over the mes
sage, but they regard it as one of
the most noteworthy documents
on international questions that
have been issued from the White
House.
There is no question but that
the bonds between Japan and the
United States would be consider
ably strengthened by conferring
the privilege of franchise OH the
Japanese in California. There are
some fifty odd thousand Japanese
in the State, and while | am not
in position to say how many of
these would take advantage of
naturalization privileges, l do
think that the number would be
comparatively large. | think this
would be especially so in the case
Of the Japanese in San Francisco.
Many Japanese have family
and property interests here, and
they would naturally regard San
Francisco as their permanent
home once they beli@ed that
they had the same privileges as other
aliens.
Concerning the school segregation

talked about it that is due to miscon-

Secretary Metcalf was here securing
data on the dispute he was given a list
Of the Japanese pupils attending the
different schools. Here is a copy Nof
the list, which, 1t should be remem-
bered, was prepared for him by the
Board of Education. I think there will
be no question raised as to its ac-
curacy. Let us go over it and see
what we find.

HAS THEM GUESSING
 SAYS HOKE SMITH
Georqia's GovernoreIect Says New York Republicans Are Scared
 About Hearst Fight.

Atlanta, October 6.-(Special.)-"Hearst is the unknown quantity in the great po- Iitical problem in the minds of New York ers." said Hon. Hoke smith, governor elect. upon his return today from New York City, where he went for the first vacation he has had since the campaign began.
 Hearst has got them all frightened, including Roosevelt" MT. Smith contin- ued. "Everybody is talking about the campaign, but 1t is just about as easy to fudge the situation down here as 1t Is up there. There Is no doubt about the fact that Hearst forced the republicans to put out the cleanest, strongest man they could find The odds seemed in fa- vor of Hughes when was there' but Hearst is the great problem and nobody knows just how strong he is. Every paper in New York City, except his own, is fighting him, but he is making game, strong race. It Is now everywhere con- ceded that Hearst is the vital force back of his chain of papers, and that 1t is he who possesses the executive ability"

REPUBLICANS HOLD
 BIG LOVEFEAST
Curtis Guild In Massachusetts Turns Loose Some Unkind Filings at
 Hcarstism.

Boston. October S.--The annual banquet of the Massachusetts Republican club was held tonight in Symphony hall and served as a ratification meeting for Gov ernor Curtis Guild, Jr., and the others on the state ticket who were renominated last week.
 The banquet brought together many men prominent in public life.
 Governor Guild, in his address. declared that those who promised a millenium In 1902 and 1906, were the same persons who were making similar promises today and Massachusetts Is asked again in the state election to endorse that very ele- ment in the democratic party.
 In conclusion he said that the Novem- Der elections in this state. as well as in New York are national in importance. and that as these two states arc to say whether the country is or is not SO infected by the feverish falsehood of yellow journalism as to turn from the progressive leadership of Roosevelt to the same men who dominated Congress from 1892 to 1S96 and whose wild posturing sent panic into the country house and hunger into the home"
 Senators A. J. Beverdge and Henry c. Lodge also spoke.

BRYAN MAKES FIRST
 SPEECH IN KANSAS
FORMERLY PARTIES COULD SEE NO GOOD IN EACH OTHER, BUT NOW ROOSEVELT FINDS GOOD IN DEMOCRATIC PLATFORMS.

Fort Scott, Kans.. October S.-William J. Bryan made his first Kansas speech of this campaign here today. He said In part:
 Unless l am very much mistaken, we are approaching time when we can consider public measures with less parti- sanship than we have before in genera tions. l can remember when l entered politics there was such a strong feeling in regard to parties that it was almost inn possible for a man belonging to any one party to find anything good in another party. This new state of things has done much to eliminate the old feeling. Presi- dent Roosevelt has done great deal to convince the public that there is some- thing good in the democratic platforms He had the courage to take up some of the reforms the democrats advocated be- fore his party had advocated them
 The President has done much good. l don't know what he might have done had he had an environment favorable to re- form. He has done remarkable things for man who has to fight his leaders all the way through I don't know what he might have accomplished had he not been so handicapped.
 On government ownership of railroads, MT. Bryan said that several years ago the democrats and populists were ridi- culed for suggesting such thing, and that he himself had been denounced as dangerous because he had mentioned 1t as a means of relief from the oppression of the railroads.
 Don't we now find President Roosevelt daring to hold as a club over the rail- roads that idea in terms more radical than we suggested?' he said
