Montpelier, VT, Oct. 25.-HarrisOn
ColleSs, Il 11-year-old boy, is under
surveillance in North Fayston tonight
on account Of the death Of Henry
| Tracy, aged 90. q Sawmill emplnye.
whose body, riddled with bullets, was
| found early today lying by the side Of
a road III North Fayston. The circum-
| stances of the shooting are a mystery.
but the officers who investigated the
affair today say that Corless does not
deny that he fired the fatal shots.
Corless is considered somewhat weak
mentally and it has been difficult for
the officers to get a connected story
from him. They are inclined 10 believe
| however, that the boy came upon Tracy
| lying in a supplied condition beside the
road and mistaking him for an animal
shot him.
Tracy left the house where he board
ed fCI a short drive last evening. Half
an hour later residents Of another part
of the town heard shots, but investiga-
ton was made. although the horse
which Tracy had been driving returned
to the boarding house stable at night
drawing the empty carriage. Early to-
day search was made for Tracy and his
body was found lying beside the road.
| There was a bullet hole in his head and
three similar wounds in his body.
| The theory held by the authorities
tonight ana supported by what was
cleaned from the statements of Corless
was that Tracy, overcome perhaps by
sudden sickness, or from some other
cause, fell from his carriage. 1t is sup
posed that later, COrless happened
along and committed the fatal shoot
ing, mstaking Tracy, whom he could
see il the darkness only indestinctly,
| for a wild animal.
Corcss has net been arrested but
was under surveillance Of the county
officers tonight.

THE DEFEAT OF HEARST

After one of the hardest political
battles ever fought in the Empire
state. william r. Hearst has been de-
feated for governor of New York by a
plurality of only 10000, which is an
extremely narrow margin for New
York state.
1t has been a tremendously spec
tacular campaign. with party lines
well-nigh obliterated. Hearst won over
a large number of Independent Repub-
leans by what he has done against the
trusts, but on the other hand he was
fought by such prominent men in his
own party as District Attorney Jerome,
Boss McCarren. and ex-Boss Croker.
and aside from his own papers he had
the press of New York city practical
" solid against him.
No other candidate than Charles z.
Hughes could have won against
Hearst. By his prominence in IN
earthing the insurance scandals in
New York, Mr.. Hughes had gained the
confidence Of the people and even the
admirers Of Hearst must admit that
he is an able and honest man. The
only thing that could be urged against
him was that he was supported by the
big corporate interests, and they chose
him as the lesser of two evils.
1t is fortunate for New York Repub-
licans h a President Roosevelt took
the action he did in sending Secretary
Root to make a speech against Hearst.
The speech undoubtedly turned back
to Hughes thousands IF Republicans
who a been swept of their feet by
the Hearst campaign. Without ii
Hearst would quite probably have
been elected.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1906-11-07
IN KANSAS

The great change in Kansas is trace
able to a number Of sources. The
domination Of the Republican state
convention by the railroads last May
Disguised thousands Of Republicans.
Added to this was Governor Hoch's
vaeillating policy on law enforcement,
the katy matter, his failure to act in
the treasury shortage. the excellent
record made by Colonel Harris as
United States senator, and minor issues.
Disgust over the Comanche county
bond deal, too, caused a revulsion in
the feelings Of many Republicans.
Yet it was hardly conceivable that
the 10000 plurality which Governor
Hoeh received should have dwindled
ava as it did. Colonel Harris faced
tremendous odds when he went into
the campaign a few weeks ago, and the
conservative men could lot believe
that he could so change Hoch's
plurality.
It is noticeable that the open towns
OF Atchison and Leavenworth gave
Hoch a considerably larger vote than
they did two years ago, indicating that
the liquor interests really lined up for
him after all.
Incidentally the Democrats have
made large gains in the legislature, but
not enough TO e%ndanger the election Of
a Republican United States senator.
The Republican losses were caused by
local fights and by the senatorial issue
