within the meaning and scope of the Valen-

trolling the policies Of other corporations

UTICA. Nov. ~3.-Although the Republican
organization in Oneida county was dis
rupted early in the campaign by differences
which arose between the Republican leaders
in Utica and the leaders in the remainder of
the county over the question of representa-
ton in the county conventions, all disputes
have been nicely adjusted and Hughes will
get a record breaking plurality over Hearst
in this rockribbed Republican county next
Tuesday.
The Republican county committee held
it's final meeting of the campaign this after
noon, after which estimates, based on care
fully conducted ~canvasses, were given out.
Chairman Somers declared that Hughes's
plurality in Oneida county would reach 5000
and might 20 200 more. Tit tai OF the
disaffection was dismissed as baseless by
men who claimed to have had reports from
all the towns II was admitted that Hearst
would have many supporters from the
ranks of organized labor, but they, IL was
said, would be more than Offset by the old
line Democrats who would vote for Hughes.
In Utica, for instance, it was said that il
1000 Republican working men voted for
Hearst, more than 1000 Democrats would
record themselves for Hughes.
Oneida county will elect three Republican

GRIGGS CLAIMS NEXT HOUSE.
Tie Bases His Claim On His Expectation TO
Get the Crazy Vote.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Just before he
left for New York to-day Chairman James
NJ. Griggs of the Democratic Congress
campaign committee penned these words:
we will control the next House of Repre-
sentatives by not less than twenty-five
majority"
After completing this prophecy Mr..
Griggs packed his grip, and taking Vice
Chairman Bowers by the arm started to
leave headquarters with a view to embark
ing for the home Of the money devil. But
the force of employees at headquarters
insisted that a demonstration should be
made in honor of the two heroes Of the
campaign, for had not Chairman Griggs
assured them that the House in the Sixtieth
Congress would be Democratic, and that
only the details of electing and swearing
in the members remained TO be done?
Eat" said the chairman, addressing
the vice-chairman, whose full name IL
Eaton jackson Bowers, -let us talk to the
boys and girls"
Eat acquiesced, and Chairman Griggs
and Vice. Chairman Bowers addressed their
admirers, telling them that their services
to the committee were appreciated and
that II things came out as they should each
uf the listeners would be rewarded.
Then Mr.. Griggs and Mr.. Bowers left
their Offices, proceeded to the railway
station and took an afternoon train for
New York. They will return Monday.
Before leaving the city Chairman Griggs
was asked to make public some OF the de-
tails upon which he based his prediction
that the Democrats would control the
House in the next Congress by a majority
of twenty-five. He said:
The people are crazy this year and we
expect to get the crazy vote"
A bvstander suggested that crazy peo-
pie didn't always vote the same way. The
man who made this suggestion skunk away
at a whitening glance from Chairman Griggs.
THE people lave done a lot of crazy
things this year." continued Mr.. Griggs.

Mr. Hughes. at the conclusion OF ms

Seth Low, in the course OF his speech,
added a new chapter to h story OF Mr..
Hearts, evasion Of the processes OF the law
The Corporation Counsel's Office, while ne
was Mayor, according to Mr.. Low, mad
tried for a long time to serve Mr.. Hearst
with an important notice. Mr.. Low didnt
aay so. but 10 k understood that the notice
concerned the suits which were begun
against the city for damages on account
of the Madison Square fireworks explosion.
The Corporation COunsel's Office wasn't
able TO find Hearst, and finally they heard
that he had sailed for Europe, Then It
occurred to the officials Of the city gov
eminent that the editor couldn't evade
the service on ship board unless he jumped,
of. so they served him with the notice
by wireless.
I'VE arranged" said Mr.. Low. with an
officer on the vessel TO serve the notice, so
that he could make an affidavit that he had
placed it in Mr.. Hearts, hands. The officer
carried out his instructions so literally that
he yoke Mr.. Hearst up ut ? o'clock in the
morning to hand him the paper
Mr.. Taft showed among other things that
Mr.. Hearst has other corporations besides
the ones which Mr.. Hughes has brought out.
He controls an ink company, a news syndi-
cate, a delivery company. and the American
ADV ance Music Company and finally, the
Independence League. Mr.. Taft declared
that not one of the corporations In the long
list controlled by Mr.. Hearst had since 1911
filed an annual report with the Secretary
of State as required by law. said Mr..
Taft:
"Mr. Hearst deplores the secrecy.of bust
ness methods Of corporations. Yet the
directory which is published IN this city,
giving the boards of directors and officers OF
corporations. reports that the corpora
tons of Mr.. Hearst have refused all informa-
ton as to the personnel of the orncerr. Mr.
Hearst has no words strong enough to de-
nounce the practice Of corporations in con-
cealing the identity Of their owners through
dummy directors, and yet ne resorts to that
device to conceal his own connection with
all Of these companies"

TEE CONTEST IN WEsToREsTER.
County sure for hughes and the Interest
Hangs ON judiciary Fright.

MOUNT VERNON, Nov. 3.-Interest in the
campaign in Westchester county has
centred around the election Of the three
candid ates for the Supreme Court, since
it has become apparent that nothing can
pre- vent the county from going against
Hearst in substantial fashion. The three
Justices are to be elected in the new Ninth
Judicial district. which comprises besides
Westchester the counties of Putnam,
Duchess, Orange and Rockland. and are
to serve for fourteen years with Justices
HirschberG and Keogh. F0ur-hfths OF the
court business OF the district IL done IN
Westminster and it is only natural therefore
that this county is more than usually inter-
ested in the result.
Although a lively campaign has been
carried on there has been little bitterness,
as the opponents OF both sets Of candidates
admit hat all are especially well fitted for
the Office for which they are running. On
the Republican ticket are Isaac n. Mills OF
this city. Arthur s. Tompkins OF Nyack and
Joseph M~orschauser of Poughkeepsie. while
the Democrats nave put up John F. Brennan
Of Yonkers. who is also the candidate OF the
Independence League, the Prohibitionists
and the Anti-Machine party; Michael y.
Kane of Orange and Allison Butts Of Pough-
keepsie.
All OF the nominees are kuOWu 10 ne kOOd
lawyers and the main campaign issue on
the part of the Republicans has been the
question of experience.
1t would be impossible" they say. "to
find in the entire Ninth dist riot three other
lawyers who during the last ten years have
either separately or collectively actually
tried more cases in the Supreme Court than
Judges Mills, Tompkins and Morschauser."
Judge Mills was County Judge OF West
chester oounty for twelve year and il using
his record as campaign material. Judge
Tompkins for five. years was County Judge
and Surrogate OF Ro ckland county and for
five years Judge Morschauser has been and
still is Judge Of the City Court of Pough-
keepsie. This ribuna has both civil and
crimiua jurisdiction. During the pre-
vious four years he was Recorder of the
city. These men. the Republicans urge
have been tried by the people and have been
oundt to be good Judges, while no one OF the
Democratic candidates has had any judicial
experience whatever.
Opposed to Judge Mills is John +. Brennan,
president of the Westchester Bar Associa-
ton, president of the Yonkers Public
Library and a member of the Yonkers
Board OF Education. He is very popular
in his home town. In urging his candidacy
and that of his companions OF the ticket
the Democrats and so-called independents
have e~ndeavored to raise the boss issue and
have declared that Judge Mills particularly
is subservient to Wards will. Mayor Brush
has raised the boss cry a good many times
and the Republicans do not feel that il will
carry enough weight to cut their ticket
seriously.
