New York on Tnft's Speech.
lNeM, York C.lnhnl

The New York city press is curiously
divided in It's views of Mr.. Taft's ad-
dress. The Tribune commends his pur-
pose to develop the machinery for car
rying out the Roosevelt purposes. The
World while noticing that ''he Is full
some IN bis praise CT Mr.. Roosevelt as
a leader OF public conscience" perceIves
that he stops far short of approving
the Roosevelt policies in the way OF
new experimental legislation" The
Times Is grIeved by his promise to con-
tlnue the Roosevelt policies, thinks
that, like Roosevelt, he regards us as
a nation OF transgressors, and finds
that the bulk Of his speech consists
of advocacy Of new laws OF penalty

GOVERNOR wooDnurr's POSITION.

A personal friend of Governor Wood
ruff states that that gentleman Is
literally In the hands Of the people Of
the state OF Connecticut. He Is not a
candidate for the Republican nomlna-
ton for governor and has asked no one
to support him for that honor. He has
been urged by friends and political adj
mirers to stand again. He ie not caught
in the Lilley or any other net. If the
people OF the state want him TO serve
another term they have but to ask him
in the conventional way, He will do
the rest.
That is dlgnifed and convincing at
titude. II puts the responsibility
where 1t belongs and virtually says to
the Republican voters in his own town,
that of New Haven. stir about and
make the approaching .caucuses deci-
sive." Nor should that be difficult

Of the fifteen wards Of New Haven
make UP their minds that they want
to see Governor Woodruff nominated,
all they have got to do is to attend the
caucuses and say So Those who are
not registered should do so at the first
opportunity for they must not forget
that the law forbids non-registered vot-
ers to participate In their party prim-
aries. The easy way to register
should moreover stimulate the Ameri-
canism of those who have hitherto TAX
en- but little interest in preliminary and
practical politics. All one has to do
is to notify ward officers OF their in
tention to support the Republican tick
ct. That done. the caucus door flies
open.
Obviously this cannot and will not be
done with the aid of Colonel Ullman,
the able leader Of the New Haven Re
publican organization. The very
characteristic, which has made him po-
litically what he is, forbids him to
work this year for the continuance Of
Governor woodruff In public office-the
characteristic OF keeping his word. He
is under promise to support Mr.. Lilley
and a promise with Colonel Ullman
carries with It the power of redemp-
ton. II the Republican voters of New
Haven propose to elect a Woodruff
delegation to the state Republican con-
vention. they must do without the aid
and suggestion Of their leader They
should not poster him with arguments
why he should perhaps act in response
to a popular demand rather than fol-
low his own counsel; they should get
right down to business and scoop In the
+ delegates. If anybody thinks Ullman
will weep should Woodruff succeed all
along the line they have another guess
coming. He Is not only pretty astute
leader but he is philosopher. Philoso-
piers don't weep. They smile.

SENATOR ALLISON DEAD.
Death of Esteemed Iowan Results in
Governor Cummins Being a Can
didate.

William Boyd Allison, senior Unit
ed States senator from Iowa, died at
his home. at Dubuque, la. Tuesday
afternoon at 1888 o'clock. While he
had been in declining health for some
time his condition was not regarded
as critical and his death came as a
great shock to Dubuque, the state
and the nation
In January of his year Senator
Allison passed through a serious ILL
ness of lagrippe and complications
but regained most of his old time Wig
or and was enabled to go through
work of the recent session of con,
gress. During the months of March
and April he was a regular attendant
at the sessions and had personal
charge of the emergency currency
bills and appropriation measures. He
remained in Washington until the
close of the session of congress.
When he returned to his home in
Dubuque
Senator Allison was somewhat
weakened upon his return home from
Washington on May 81 but there was
nothing in his appearance to indi-
cate that the end was approaching.
He needed a long rest after his
labor during the recent session of
congress and that was the reason he
did not attend the Republican nation
al convention at Chicago on June 10.
Tributes to the dead statesman from
nearly all OF the leading men of the
nation and the state have poured into
the city and many have announced in
tention of attending the obsequies
Funeral arrangements are uncer-
tain pending the return of relatives
from Chicago and the appointment OF
senatorial and congressional commit
tees but the rites will probably be
held Thursday or Friday and I'm
doubtedly will be held at the West
Minister Presbyterian church of which
the late senator was d member.
Senator Allison's fortune is various
ly estimated at from 100000 to a
million. Probably the former figure
is correct. His housekeeper, Mrs.
Fannie Brayton, his nephew, VIM. B.
Allison, jr.. a Seattle. lawyer, and his
sister-in-law, Mrs. Mary Allisan OF
Dubuque, will be the benehciaries.
The unanimous sentiment in Iowa
IS that Governor A. B. Cummins will
succeed Allison. There would have
been a disposition on the part of en-
emies of the governor to make a fight
but the carse was regarded as gener-
orally hopeless.
