MIR. TAFT WANTED IN NEW JERSEY
Republicans Say Lot of Hard Work Is
Needed in That State.

Chairman Hitchcock of the Republican National
Committee spent the greater part Of the day yes
terday in consultation with the executive COM
mittee concerning the vital work of the cam
paign with particular reference TO spending the
limited amount Of money at the disposal of the
committee where it would bring the greatest re-
suits. The chairman is receiving reports day by
day. and the executive committee read number
of these yesterday.
An urgent request received from Franklin
Murphy chairman Of the New Jersey state COM
nittee 70 have Mr.. Taft make two three
speeches in that state. Mr.. Bryan has made
speeches there, and is due there again October
Is. The Republicans there feel the need of doing
a lot of hard work If the state is TO be made
for Taft and Sherman.
Mr. Hitchcock yesterday. referring to the esti
mates the expected pluralities in several West
ern states, which he gave out Saturday, said
that il should be remembered that these estimates
were not based the pluralities of four years
ago. which were phenomenal, but those recorded
in the election of 1860.
In discussing the relations of the IStional COM
mttee the New York State campaign, Chairman
Hitchcock said that. while the Republican Ma
tional Committee would cooperate with the state
committee IN every way. and most earnestly, the
direction and management Of the work would be
left entirely TO the state committee

added: They have met both Mr.. Taft and Mr.
Bryan out there. but the great majority prefer Mr..
he is a great man.
we in Manila wonder why Ii is, with the tre-
mendous opportunities that the Philippine Islands
offer. that there has not been greater influx Of
American capital There is no place outside of the
United States where it could be invested more ad-
vantageously We have gold mines, and there are
iron mines within two hours ride of Manila And
yet they go importing steel from Europe. We
have coal, too, better than any found in the East
THE Philippines is also of the greatest hemp
growing countries. but there is not a single rope
factory in IL. American capital has been slow to
recognize these opportunities. We would also like
an American agricultural bank
Il fear that the people of this country have a
mistaken idea about the Philippine Islands 1t is
not wild place. with half civilized population
might be inclined to believe. 1t is a fine
fertile land with civilization equal that found
anywhere in the East. The government is efficient
and honest Three-quarters of the membership of
