Hichcock Says National Committee

Chairman Hitchcock of the Republican National
Committee said last night that Judge Taft would
leave Cincinnati tomorrow night on his speaking
tour of Indiana. He will be here on Wednesday
night of next week when the Republican hosts will
gather at Madison Square Garden to listen to Taft

Chairman Hitchcock said that the idea that the
national committee anxious about the result in
Ohio was erroneous. The impression grew out of
the statement by Mr.. Hitchcock earlier in the day
that the committee had arranged to send some of
its best speakers to Ohio. Mr. Hitchcock said that

days After that he will return to New York and
remain here until after election. After

had any doubt about New York, he was more con-
fident than ever that the Taft and Sherman elect

he was Just confident of the reelection of

CHANLER AWHILE AGO
What He Said about Facing Issues
when Running 1Cith Hearst.

Reference TO the utterances of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Chaner when he was running on the ticket
with William Randolph Hearst two years ago
shows he must have changed his ideas regarding
the duty of a candidate out squarely and
state his position on the issues OF the campaign
At that time he charged Governor Hughes with
not coming out and stating specifically what he
purposed to do, If elected Now Governor Hughes
has stated his position fully and has asked Lieu
tenant Governor Chanler to say what he purposes
do regarding the anti-racetrack gambling bill,
the Public Service commissions bill and other
matters Of vital Importance. II he is elected. The
only reply OF Mr.. Chanler is that he does not
propose to be forced to any such questions.
This is extract from the stenographc copy OF
Lieutenant Governor Chanler's speech made
meetings the East Side in this city years
ago;

The people now have chance to Judge who has
been beating his breast and who has up TO
the standard laid down by Mr.. Chanler two years
ago.
Two years ago Mr.. ChanIer rejoiced that in the
nomination OF Mr. Hearst the Democratic party
had shown a desire TO throw of its control by
corporation influences, but this year Mr. Hearst
has denounced the Democratic party as being
controlled by the self-same bosses Mr.. Chanler
is their candidate for Governor He does not come
out openly and declare himself for or against the
things which these bosses and corporate interests
desire. Two years ago Mr. Chanler said in a
