both sides claiming the State by a small

resort to machine methods in controll-

candidates Physically Exhausted.

Both OF the candidates for governor,
William r. Hearst and Charles z.
Hughes. spent the night addressing big
meetings in this city. They expound-
ed their usual stock arguments and
were accorded warm receptions by the
faithful. Both are verging on a state
of physical collapse and there was moth
ing out Of the ordinary about their
meetings.
Chairman Connors. Of the State Demo
cratic Committee, states that he has re-
ceived no telegram from Chairman Tim

state Central Committee as stated In

Democrats to repudiate Hearst.

Promise No Vote Buying.

Both sides are claiming tonight that
they will use no money 20 buy votes
next Tuesday. but these protestations
are not credited in all quarters. 1t is
a fact that the Republican organization
never before had so much money At its
disposition as at present and It hardly
seems likely that the Democratic or
ganizstlon can be bankrupt
BY virtue OF the corrupt practices arr
OF the last Legislature. It Is now
felony 20 buy votes, but when that
act was passed some wise politician hal
the penaI code so amended that II is
now possible for a political leader to
hire as many poll workers as he de-
sires TO work for him on election day.
This is the way the money is to be paid
out on election day by the workers OF
the two parties and. therefore, IL Is al
together likely that the actual money
expended will aggregate much more

SUNDAY SNAKE KILLING CRIME.
Connecticut Blue Laws Cause Farmer
to be Punished.

Danbury, Conn, Sept 21.-Connecti-
cut blue laws make it a crime to shoot
a snake on Sunday and they also make
it a crime to sell or to buy the rec
ognized antidote for snakebite. Walk
ing over his farm on the outskirts of
this city last Sunday in search of a
lost COW, Peter Zarcone. is years old,
took his shotgun with him for protec-
ton against snakes. Attacked by an
adder while passing thru swamp,
Zarcone shot and killed the reptile. The
report of his gun reached the ears of
policemen sent out by the game ward
ems to watch for poachers, and they
caused the young farmers arrest.
When Zarcone was arraigned before
Judge Howard H. Scott he was fined
SO and costs. The judge said he had
no doubt from the nature of the evil
dence before him that the prisoner
had used his gun only to protect him
self against the snake, but the laws
of the state made 1T a crime even to
carry a gun in the open air on sun
day. and consequently he had no dis
erection under the law, and was
obliged to punish him for carrying
his weapon across the farm.

Foreign Affairs Craftsmanship in the
House Will Go to lowan Man.
Washington, D. c., Sept. 21.-The
death Of Representative Hit Of Hill
nois will probably result in making
Representative Cousins of Iowa chair
man of the house foreign committee.
He is made ranking member of that
committee by Mr.. Hits death. Mr..
Hit was sick most of the time last
winter and Robert Adams of Pennsyl-
vanta was acting chairman. Mr..
Adams suicide toward the end of the
session left Mr.. Cousins acting chair
man. Now that Mr.. Hit is dead, Mr..
Cousins stands at the head of the COM
mittee. While the foreign affairs
committee of the house is by no means
as important as the foreign relations
committee of the senate, it is never
theless of weight, and for Mr.. Cousins
to be at the head of it will mean a
distinct addition to the list of inf1u-
entail chairmanships held by Iowa men.
One of the largest questions now
pending before the house foreign af-
fairs committee is that of Chinese ex-
clusion legislation.
