GoMPERs ATTACKS TAFT.
Says Organized Labor in Entering
 Politics Becomes Partisan.

Washington, Oct 13.-"In per- forming solemn duty at this time in support of a political party, labor does not become partisan to politi- cal party but partisan to princi- ple," President Gompers af the American Federation of Labor as- serts, in a circular issued regarding labor's attitude in the campaign. He charges that the republican party and its candidate stand for further extending into this country des- potic government vested in the ju- dietary and that the democratic party and its candidate stand for government by law vested in the peo- pie. The circular is addressed to Men of Labor, Lovers of Human Liberty" and says in part:
 The judiciary induced by corpora. tions and trusts and protected by the republican party is step by step de. stroying government by law and sub. stituting therefor a government by judges who determine what in theti opinion is wrong, what is evidence who is guilty, and what the punish | ment shall be. This revolution is de priving the workers of their rights al citizens and will inevitably be made applicable to the business men later This virus and poison has in severa instances entered upon the legisla tive field by making laws which ma. be enforced by equity process. Des potic power under the ermine Is d dangerous as despotic power unde the crown"
 The circular refers to Taft as "th, originator and specific champion o discretionary government" and M Gompers reiterated that there is n' political office in the gift of tn American people, elective pr appoint i've, that I would under any circum stances accept"

 worlds championship series tie with two games apiece. The local enthusiasts gleefully contemplated yesterdays score and declared that Cobb and Crawford and Rossman

LILLEY A GUTTER
New Raven Msn Says so and
 Aeee Re Is . Burden ou Managers.

A re~ Haven man sent the follow ing about George l.. Lilley to the Hartford Courant for publications:
 If George l.. Lilley was sincerely convinced of the presence of graft In congress, and that the Eelectri Boat Co had used improper methods to further its aims, and that he himself had been unfairly treated by the con gressional committee, why, in the name of all that is manly and cour- ageous, did not MT Lilley stand to his guns, express his grim determination to fight to finish, and demand of his constituents that he be returned to congress for this express purpose? Not only Connecticut, but the entire country, would have applauded such a course. Until this question has been fairly met and fairly answered by MT Lilley and his supporters, thousands of republicans in this state must necessarily continue to entertain tho suspicion that MT Lflley as a reform CT Is a lamentable failure, nd is not made of the stuff of which good gov ernors and good fighters ought to be made. No one wishes to do MT Lil- ley the slightest injustice, but can anyone fail to see that 1t is MT Lilley alone who has brought upon himself public indignation and repudiation by not squaNing to his plain duty at the supreme moment? That 1t is he alone who has saddled upon his cam paign managers a grievous burden which threatens to bring them both severe rebuke at the polls? In con- clusion, we are forcibly reminded at this point of the clear cut sentiment once voiced by that stalwart' republi- can, Samuel Fessenden: God Al mighty hates Quitter. So does Connecticut.
 CHARLES S. DE FOREST"
 New Haven, Oct 10, 1908"
 Here is the Courant's rather weak and evasive response:
 Tt is we'll known that Mir Lilley had given 1t out publicly very often before the submarine affair that he did not want to go back to Washing. ton but did hope to be governor. His opportunity came, and he had not changed his mind. If our correspon. dent will make inquiries among intel ligent men who know their Washing ton, it will not. take him long to find that the presence of an offensive lobby on submarines has long beer an offense to members of congress and others. MT Lilley attacked 1t in stead of keeping still. and he was un able to prove his case. If he cault not get a committee place, if h' could not get anything but reppr so hostile that those who are usint it say 1t is shameful, what uss so him to continue to bat his heat against the wall? He simply held rt his original ambition, and we venture the opinion that, if he had reall. started in to go back to congress, h. would have beeen banged by thu antis harder than he is now bein, banged for desiring to be governor And even these say: o, he'll hak' good governor, all right, all right He's got to- We'll, it's good gov ernor that we want. If he had givel up his ambition to be governor he, have been called quitter righ away"
