GOmDerS Lands on Roosevelt
Regarding Labor Situation

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Gompers
today issued a formal reply to Roose-
yelt's letter to Senator Knox, regard
ing the attitude of labor in the cam
paign. He says:
Roosevelt made Taft candidate.
Seeing the labor vote aroused, and that
the toilers were not to be cajOled he
became desperately in anger, by the
worst exhibition of temper he tried to
instill into employees the fear that pros
perity would be endangered if a
square deal were accorded workers.
He throws the influence of his office
into the scales against the interests
of other citizens"
Gompers continues: The president
Saws Knox has a right to discuss the
principles of injunctions because, as
attorney general, he prosecuted the
sui for damages to injured workmen.
Knox services as special counsel for
the Pennsylvania Railroad and Steel

discuss injunctions; but only from the
corporation point of view. Injunctions.

NEW YORK, Oct. 26-The World
this morning prints a story that Sher-
man. the republican nominee for vice
president, is connected with a scheme
to secure valuable timber lands in New
Mexico for almost nothing, through an
act of congress passed in 1902. 1t
saws that Sherman, e. l.. Phillip, leg
islative agent for the Milwaukee brew
erv interests, and Henry Casson, ser
geant-a arms of the house of repre-
Sentatives, formed the New Mexico
Lumber and Development company.
They entered into arrangements with
the land board to acquire territorial
timber at the cost of One-tenth its
value.
In order to carry out the scheme,
sherman drew up a bill providing that
the territory could sell land in blocks
of $4,000 acres, with no limitations as
TO minimum price. 1t passed the house
and was killed in the senate.
The story says that Edmund Burke,
a Los Angeles attorney, representing
the company, gave $500 to Solicitor
General Bartlett, of the territory, a
$500 draft to A. A. Kerr, superinten-

whether he can live long enough to be

up a majority against him. Conserva-
tives are predicting a big inroad into
the Quebec camp in today's election,
finding their chief hope in this end in
the breaking away of Henri Bourassa
and Armand Lavergue from the liberal
party, and heading what is known as
the nationalist party just now, par
ticularly as Mr.. Lavergue appeared on
the platfOr with Mr.. Borden, conserv-
ative leader, at Quebec, recently. The
strength of BouTassa Is reflected in the
generally admitted statement that af-
ter Sir Wilfrid's departure from poll
tics, Bourassas will be the owner Of
Quebec.
Added to this expected increase in
strength in Premier Laurier's strong
hold, conservatives expect to practi-
cally sweep Ontario. The liberals, new
ertheless, threw not little cold water
on these expectations by bringing into
the arena as nominee for North Water
loo, w. L. Mackenzie King, deputy
minister of labor, who has figured so
prominently and creditably in the set
tlement Of the Japanese question on
the Pacific coast; closing Of many a
labor dispute to the delight of the
workers and the general advancement
of labors interests by legislation. If
he is elected and Sir Wilfrid Laurier is
returned he will be taken into the gov
ernment as minister of labor, and will
be the leader of Ontario liberals.
OF the other provinces forecasts are
largely a matter of speculation. Con-
servatives expect to make big gains,
particularly in Nova Scotia and Brit
ish Columbia, while the liberals hope

Roosevelt May
Vel Take SfumD

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-With the
concentrated particularly on4eNew York
Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio and
Indiana, and with the whoe party
machinery working in perfect unison,
but at the highest tension, the closing
week of the republican campaign gives
promise of being one Of the most stir
ring since the first Cleveland campaign
The call to arms has been sounded
and party notables who heretofore
have been content in campaigns to
make one speech in their own state,
will be out day and night, beginning
Monday, appealing to the republicans
for a victory
Although it was authoritatively an
nounced at the White House this even
ing that President Roosevelt would not
make campaign speech in Chicago,
we'll defined impression prevails that
the president will not hesitate to per-
sonally jump into the fray if he feels
that the situation warrants such ac-
ton.
Confident as ne is that the states
mentioned will give plurality for Will
liam H. Taft, the president feels that
certain gubernatorial and congression-
al contests are of supreme importance
and it is understood that he told his
cabinet members yesterday when he
sent them forth to stump in deba table
ground, that no stone should be left
unturned to roll up magnificent
party victory. He feels that such a re-
suit would be accepted as an indorse
ment of his administration
