 In Working For Party Candidate

Washington, Oct. 29-President Roosevelt today publishes a letter written Ivy Samuel Donnclly, secretary of the arbitration board of the New York Building Trades, in which the writer upholds the president in sup porting Taft, and in working toward Tafts election.

EMPIRE STATE Is
 FIELD OF BATTLE

Troy, N. Y., Oct. 2S-William II. Taft, republican candidate for the presidency, and William J. Bryan, the democracy's choice for the high est office in the land, are making of the State of New York the battle ground of ono of the fierccst political campaigns ever wagcd within the borders of this commonwealth. The prize cOntc stcd for is the vote of the state, which is now being claimed by both parties.
 Taft today, is touring the towns along the Hudson river. Speaking here last night he declared that the republicans are as much opposed to monOpOlies as are the democratic, but that, unlike the democrats, the republicans believe in stamp ing out the evil without des- troying the country's industries by lowering the tariff.
 In all other part of the state MT. Bryan is disseminating the doctrins of the democratic party. He declares that the republican talk of remedy ing the tariff evil is only equivoca. tion, and says that the continuance of republican rule means only q con tinuance of corporation dominance.

NEW YORK WORLD
 Is AFTER JEROME

New York, Oct. 28-The New York World is after the scalp of District Attorney Jerome, and both cditori- ally and in it's news columns demands that the official be removed from office. Tue Worlds principal charge is that of misconduct on the part of Jerome in the investigation into the dealings of the Mutual Life Insurance Company, during the insurance scan dal of few years ago.
 Among the specific charges made against Jerome is that he prevented the indictment on q forgery charge of President McCurdy of the Mutual. The World says that it has proof that the grand jury was anxious to indict McCurdy but that it was by Jerome prevented from taking such action.
 Speaking generally, the World ac- cuses Jerome of inattention to duty, improper association with those charged with crimes, and of immoral conduct in his private life.
 Jerome denies all the charges. and says that he does not fear any inves- tigation.

BANDIT K|DNAPS.
 RICH T|MBERMAN

Mount Vernon, Wn., Oct 27-E. English, wealthy timbcrman, was kidnapped yesterday afternoon, and forced by the single bandit who did the job to write note instructing Mrs. English to pay to the bearer the sum of S5,00O. English was over powered while out in the woods, and by his captor was chained to tree while the bandit went to obtain the money from Mrs. English.
 Mrs. English lives in Mount Vernon and before the bandit could traverse the distance, English managed to re- lease himself, and hurrying to the mill telephoned to Mrs. English to pay no attention to the note. Shortly after she received the telephone mes sage, Mrs. English was called to the door in answer to the summons of the man who had attempted to kidnap her husband. Something in Mrs. English's manner, as she refused to pay the amount demanded, alarmed the seeker for ransom and he de- camped.
 So soon as possible Mir English came to Mount Vernon and organized a posse which is now pursuing the bandit.

DIVINE SERMON|zES
 IN WOMAN DUTY

Rev. Father Schmitt's sermon, de- livered in connection with the ser vices solemnizing the marriage es- terday of Miss Ida Corrigan and Jo- seph Bell, has given the residents of Valdez something to ponder concern ing. Rev. Father Schmitt took the occasion to express his beliefs with regard to the duties of married woman, and in consequence the bene- diets of the town are gloating, for at last there has arisen someone who supports their contention insofar as this contention concerns community of labor.
 In his sermon, Father Schmitt also laid the foundation for much of dis cussion on the part of the women who heard him and from the con versation current today among those men who have family ties it is evil dent that the fair subjects of the Fa- ther's discourse are not altogether satisfied.
 Briefly, Father Schmitt expressed tho belief that married women, es- pecially those whose fortunes find them in Alaska, should do more than they do do to assist hard working husbands. Building fires, getting breakfastland numero ous other duties of similar character were enumerated as a part of woman's work in behalf of her family. The Father mentioned many other ways in which women can make home happier.
 Indications are that many of the Father's hearers are not altogether agreed with his sentiments, but the married men are living in hopes that their wives will take heed, and the unmarried men arc wondering if the Father has many unwed disciples.

 INJUNCTION STAND

New York, Oct. 29--Candidate Taft, in his campaign speech delivered here last night, made strong defense of the injunction as issued in connection with boycott cases. Mir. Taft de- clarcd that to his personal knowoldgc the best class of labor organizations recognize the boycott as an Sact of tyranny, and that they believe in the right of inc court to take cogniaancc of the conditions thus created.
 Governor Hughes spoke from tho same platform as did Mir. Taft, and like Mir. Taft was warmly greeted by an immense audience. At one inter. val the crowd cheered for nineteen minutes, the demonstration being as much in honor of ono speaker as it was of tho other.

NEW YORK HERALD
 SEES TAFT VICTORY

New York, Oct. 27-In forecast of the election result, the New York Herald this morning says that there IS every reason to expect an eXpan- sion of the normal republican vote. The Herald holds that Taft is reason ably sure of 28O of the 4S3 votes in the electoral college. This is thirty-one votes more than the majority to choice.
 Bryan, according to the Herald forecast, is reasonably sure of 156 votes, leaving forty-seven doubtful. Of the doubtful vote, the Herald holds twenty-one as having q democratic tendency, and holds twonty-six as having q republican tendency. The Herald says that the republicans will probably carrystho house, and Now York is given to Taft.
 Boss Murphy, of Tammany, makes no estimates in oxpressingshis opin- ion in contradiction. to the Herald's forecast, but says that Bryan will win, and that Chanler will be elected governor of New York. The Herald says that New York will go for Hughes. t Recent word from the White House has 1t that within q few days, every member of the presidents cabinet will take the stump in behalf of Taft. So far no speaking dates for the cab met members have been announced.

labor vote, the attitude of President GOmpers of the American Federation of Labor, and the carly attitude of John Mitchell, also prominent in labor circles, creating the fear that a big slice of the vote would go to the democrats. Now, however, it is be- lieved that Taft will get the regular republican share of the labor vote.
 Considered generally, it is believed that there is no spontaneous move ment against Taft, so far as labor cir clcs are concerned, and that the only persons from among labor leaders working against Taft, are those under salary from the democratic national committee.

 The party leaders now declare that they can see strong drift toward republican principles, and they ex- press the belief that this drift will not only result in the normal republican vote being cast, but will quite pos sibly make inroad upon the logical democratic vote.

SLIDE AND DERAILMENT
BUSTS N SCHEDULE
TRAINS ON A. q C, YESTERDAY
ENCOUNTER A COUPLE OF
DIScoNCERTING MISHAPS

There was considerable confusion
in Astoria's train service yesterday
which as a general thing is so uni-
formly regular, that it caused a good
deal of disturbance in business as
well as travelling circles hcreabout.
II seems that the Portland express
which was due here at ll;+0 a, m,
was held up at the easterly mouth OF
tunnel No, l, this side of Rainier, by
bad slide, This was OF course, OBJ
waited, by the transfer OF passengers
and baggage when the up train, which
left here at $40 in the morning ar
rived there, good despatch being used
in the passing Of the big groups Of
passengers and impedimenta.
The trip to Portland was thus cas-
ily continued with a possible loss Of
an hour or more OF time in reaching
the metropolis But the train coming
this way did not have such good luck.
After running, or rather backing
down the line for about mile in
this direction, or properly speaking,
to Pyramid Siding, where the engine
was detached and run into the switch
so as to get it on the hauling end OF
the train, which was the proper thing
to do and OF course, the safest. As
as the engine entered upon the main
line coming back 10 the train, Il
jumped the rails and sloughed just
enough to make the mishap diff
cult one OF remedy Thus, il was
that she did not get down to Astoria,
on the engine sent from here to bring
in the train, until 8 o'clock last even
ing.
This train turned around at this
point and went back up the line in
place of the train that should have
left up at 6:l0 o'clock, il the sehed-
ule had not been interferred with.
Just what luck befeI this east-bound
train Is psobiematieai, as Is the arriv-
al Of the night down train from the
big city on the Willamette. There
were no losses nor injuries, save TO
the passengers, in the matter Of time
and feelings, all Of which win cure
itself in due time.
