HEARST UP THE STATt.
Blind Partisan Responsible for Many
 Existing Evils.

Albany, N. Y, Oct, 5.-W. R. Hearst, independence league and democratic candidate for governor, arrived in AL bany from Chatham, this afternoon with his travelling party, in their spec ial cars and after spending the evening resting here, left on late train for Buffalo, where Mir. Hearst Is scheduled to speak tomorrow night. William N. Connors of Buffalo, the newly elected chairman of the democratic state com mittee, went to Chatham from New York. He denied the report that he was the bearer of any communication from Charles F Murphy, leader of Tammany hall to MT, Hearst, in con- nection with the political situation iii New York
 In his speech in the Columbia county fair at Chatham, MT. Hearst said in part:
 "The blind partisan is responsible, in my mind, for many of the evils that exist to-day. Such a man puts no pre- mium on right, no penalty on wrong. God gave us eyes to see with, ears to hears with, brains to think with, and we cannot put our faculties to better use than in an honest attempt to dis tinguish between what is right and what is wrong.
 ''When the soldiers of the revolution were freezing and staying at Valley Forge, when the leaders of the revolu- tion were sacrificing their lives and their property in the sacred cause of liberty, they were not. more harrassed by the British themselves than they were by the tories in our own country who, amidst all their heroism and de- votion and patriotism in this country, stood snug, and comfortable and satis, fled, for King George, "God bless him. ,
 The blind party men of to-day and the blind lineal descendants of the tor ies. The evils that exist must be cured by independent voting for princi- pie and not for partisanship."

GREAT AUTO RACE TO-DAY
(continued From First Page.)


 similar number from Italy and three from Germany, One of the German cars entered, and scheduled to be driv- en by FoXall P. Keene, was officially declared out of the contest to-day, when Mir Keene did not weigh in" with the rest of the field Several days ago a pair of cylinder heads in Mr. Keene's car became cracked, and he was unable to secure another nair in this country.
 The cars will be sent away at one minute intervals, Their time will be taken from the minute assigned to them whether they are ready to start at the moment or not.
 In anticipation of the race thousands of automobiles from New York and sur rounding cities came down into Long Island to-day, the roads leading from the Brooklyn and Long Island City ter minals being choked with the whirring cars during all the afternoon and until late tonight. Here in Garden City. where the Vanderbilt cup commission makes it's headquarters, more than D. 900 automobiles are parked in front of the hotel. Scores of tents have been pitched here and at various points along the cup course, and in some of these as many as eight persons are sleeping. Others less fortunate and less opulent are sleeping on the lawns. Hundreds are spending the night in their automobiles, heavily wrapped in fur coats and all sorts of pharapher- nalia, brought along for the occasion.
 The course itself is lined with sleep CTS. All will be astir by 4 a. m., how ever, when pilgrimages to the vantage points selected along the route of the race will begin Many thousands of persons will be in the immense grand stand erected at the start and finish line.
 Some 100000 persons are expected to witness the race, Fifty or more spe- ciaI trains will be run down from New York city, beginning shortly after mid night. These people will make no eff fort to secure any sort of accommoda- tions. other than room enough along the road to catch an occasional glimpse of one of the flying machines, The weather to-day was showry, but the course was in fairly good condition. the roads being black in oil Rain to- morrow will not interfere with the run ing of the race, although it will make the attainment of high speed impossi- ble,

Mrs. Frederick T. Bradley.

Services in memory of Mrs. Frederick T, Bradley, who died in Luzerne, Switz- erland, on September 15, were held at the family residence on Sherman ave- nue yesterday afternoon at o'clock. Rev Dr, Newman Smyth, pastor of the Center church, conducted the services, and several appropriate hymns were sung by the Center church choir. A large number of friends and relatives were present, and Dr. Smyth spoke feelingly of Mrs Bradleys life and character, and the unusually sad cir cumstances attending her death in a foreign land.
 Mrs. Bradley was possessed of sin gularly sweet and quiet dignity, which left Its impress on a large circle of friends, and the remembrance of her generous impulses and transformations benevolence will not soon pass away.
 Mrs. Bradley was Sarah Emily Mer- sick, only daughter of the late Edwin F. Mersick, who died about eight years ago. She was married to Frederick Truman Bradley in 1SS7 Besides hei husband, she leaves one son, Seymour Mersick Bradley; a daughter, Miss Mil dred, and her mother, Mrs. Edwin F Mersick, of West Chapel street.
 The ashes of Mrs, Bradley will be in tered in the family plot in Eyergreer cemetery, the burial services being pri. yate.
 The sorrowing family have the sincere sympathy of a host of friends in this sad bereavement.

 But here water cart came quickly around the corner, and drenched the stranger from the knee downward. He gazed around him with a sickly smile. and remarked;

MT. Hughes provoked amusement by nroducing a copy of "The Writings of Thomas Jefferson" He said:
 Jefferson was great believer in the liberty of the press. But some of the principles of Jefferson had reference to the whole duty of an edutor Qaughter). When he was asked how to conduct a newspaper ne wrote as follows;He be- lieyed that reformation, like charity should begin at home He said: Per haps an editor might begin reformation in some such way as this. Divide his paper into four chapters, heading the first Truth, second, probability; third, Possibility fourth, Lies. Oaugher and applause).
 "The first chapter could be very short Laughter) as it would contain a little more than authentic papers and information from such sources as the editor would be willing to risk his own reputation upon for their truth. (Laughter).
 "The second would contain what from a mature consideration of all the circumstances his judgment should con- clude to be probably true. This how ever. should rather contain too little than too much.
 ''The third and fourth should be for those readers who would rather have lies for their money than the blank pa- per they would occupy, Naughter and applause). I continue what Jefferson said: Such an editor too, would set his face against the demoralizing practice of feeding the public mind habitually on slander, and the depravity of taste which this noxious element induces. Defamation is becoming a necessary of life inasmuch that dish of tea in the morning or evening cannot be digested without this stimuant,
 Even those who do not believe those agominations. read them with com placence to their auditors and instead of indigestion, which would fill a vir- tuous mind, betray a secret pleasure of the possibility that some may believe them, though they do not themselves" "

WHERE THE SMALL TOWN
 SCORES.

p0O0EG.
 Small towns have their drawbacks. No man need try 1t in these vigilant little centres to lead a double life. There are faithful, sleepless watchers at each end of the line, with several sentenels along the way, to report on his doings, his failures to do and his misdoings. Everything else failing, his very thoughts are searched. The faith full videttes conclude, from his small est movement or lack of movement, what must be have In every circum- stance meant On return home after every absence his friends and neigh bors cross-examine him as to every detail. He had etter tell the truth, because some one will in due course turn up to point out the inaccuracies in faculty narrative. In large cities very few, if indeed any, of your neighbors will wory much or at length about your incomings or outgoings. Few if any, outside your own imme diate circle of home and business life, care for your doings while away They are all too busy-too many people nov ing back and forward to be kept track of.
 The small town has not, 1t Is true, the sanatoriums and the professional nurses of city life, nor the freedom of the latter from nelghborly vigilance; but it has the big city beaten to a whisper when 1t comes to the food supply, If Brown, the butcher, for in- stance, were to kill Smiths lump jawed cow or Greens blackleg bull or Johnson's steer that had been a-fallin' ever since spring, or did he refuse to keep his shop neat and clean, every one in town would be notified of his misdeeds and negligence, and his busi- ness soon come to a standstill, He might as well, in fact, quit the town for the dark deeds of which he had been guilty would be recited, week in and wek out, as regularly as the Psalms of David. With eachsucceed- ing season his eriminality would as sume increasing blackness.- Louisville Herald.
