The letter accompanied by long resolutions
The reply from the Governors secretary was as
follows:
Governor Hughes desires me TO acknowledge the
receipt of your letter Of the 30th ult.
That letter is very unsatisfactory, and is not a
dignifed reply said delegate.
II think this body is entitled TO considera-
tion from the Governor said Henry De Veaux. of
the Actors Protective Union The letter Is very
curt one. and we are left the dark to whether
the Governor intends send real reply. 1t
looks as If he had not even seen the letter.
He put 1t in the ice box. l presume" said a
delegate
Samuel Prince of the Cigar Packers Union then
complained that the Governor had ignored a re-
quest sent to him some time ago by the Central
Federated Union TO appoint labor man TO the
Public Service Commission, lie evaded the aues-
ton. Prince said by saying that he had appointed
honorable men 10 the commission who were fit end
competent
Il am glad TO see. however, he continued, that
in the Governors message he is in favor of the
telegraph companies coming under the scope of a
commission want to be fair to him and to thank
him for this part of the message, which shows that
he needed letter, after ALL
Daniel l.. Russell. of the Telegraphers' Union,
who led its last strike in this city, held that the
Governor had taken this step account of the
agitation started by his union during the strike.
Il have the child labor law referred to
at all in the Governors message,'' said De Veaux.
Commissioner Sherman before he retired rec
commended important changes in the child labor
law which would make il effective, and I
believe the Governor should be asked for his views
on this subject, well thanked for his attitude
regarding the telephone and telegraph companies -
The delegate of the Teamsters Union also
wanted thank the Governor for going on record
against the racetracks and poolrooms
Prince said he did not want to put too much of a
load the Governor and became angry when the
delegates laughed at this.
Phillip Kelly. of the Theatrical Protective Union,
said there was nothing TO laugh at. The Governor
ought 70 be thanked he said, by every who
had the interest OF the PUBLIC at heart for his OPP
position to the racetracks and poolroors. THE
racetracks and poolrooms make criminals every
act in putting himself record against them.

The secretary finally instructed write TO

There is demand for and there is a monopoly

right TO have and possess the things TO which
man is entitled the right TO hold such occupations

La TOILETTE THE ISSUE
Taft VII Get Wisconsin Delegates,
Though, Says e. L. Philip.

e. Z. Philip, president OF the Union Refrigerator
Transit Company of Wisconsin,. who is looked upon
of the leaders OF the opposition to Senator
La Toilette that state. is in the city on bus-
ness trip with Charles Quarles, son or FORMER SEN
ator Quarles. who was defeated for reelection by
Senator La Toilette.
Mr.. Phillip is a strong Taft man. and expressed
the belief within the next thirty or sixty days
things would SO shape themselves that the nomina-
ton of Secretary Taft at the Chicago convention
would be foregone conclusion
'It is true he said. referring to Senator La Fol-
ette Presidential smposssibility, that the
Senator is shrewd politician and has a strong
organization but the de.egates to the national con-
ventions elected in Wisconsin directly at the
primaries. and organizations do not count for so
much as they would where organization couA
instruct the delegates. 1t will all depend on the
people as to whether delegates favorable to La Fol-
lette or to Taft elected. We expect that a
good sized Taft delegation will be elected
Mr.. Philip said he had fought with Senator La
Toilette SO much in Wisconsin that he did not want
to come TO New York and speak against him. But
he perfectly willing to give his ideas on Sec
retary Taft
Republicans and good many conservative
Democrats like Taft he said, mot only because
he is well known through his connection with the
Roosevelt administration but also because he made
many friends when he with early in the
summer. At that time he spoke in Milwaukee I'M
der the auspices of the Merchants and Manufact-
urers Association, and also addressed the students
at Madison. We regard Taft able man and
good lawyer His experience In the Cabinet has
made him familiar with the Philippines and our
other island possessions and also with the work
the Panama Canal These questions are of the
first Importance.
Not only is Secretary Taft satisfactory TO the
conservative business men, but he has strength
among the so-caed common people. The latter
are fond of President Roosevelt and it is generally
understood that he fayors Taft because he believes
Secretary Taft viii carry out the Roosevelt plans.
Mr. Philipp believes the entire issue in Wisconsin
is between La Toilette and Taft. Speaker Can
has many friends In Wisconsin, he said "but
he is q stand patter, and, in Wisconsin
think there should be some revision. Of the tariff
that would hurt his chances. Governor Hughes
has great many friends in Wisconsin, but he is
regarded newcomer. man who has not yet
been introduced around. We hardly know where
he stands national issues. He may say some
thing i'll his Chicago speech on Washingtons Birth
day that will help him."
AS to the Democratic situation in Wisconsin, Mr..
Phillip said the party divided into Bryan and
anti-Bryan camps Bryan seems to be the only
leader they have said Mr.. Philip, but if they
nominate him and the Republicans nominate man
like Secretary Taft will get large number of
Democratic votes

ranty that change will be made, and
if any is made by the Republicans it
will be wholly inadequate.
The nature of the inquiry by the com
mittee can pretty easily be guessed. 1t
will no doubt regulate the hearings in
a way that will give rs little reason as
possible for putting down rates. Judg-
ing by former experience, the men who
will be mostly heard will be the bene-
ficiariers of the tariff, who, in the name
of giving testimony, will make ex parte
statements, carefully prepared in ad-
vance, calculated to show the excellence
of the existing law, or in some cases,
perhaps, make pleas for higher rates.
Every effort will be made that the hear
ings shall be of character to afford
campaign material to the Republicans.
This is the whole object of the inquiry. >"
