Republicans Will Concentrate
Their Talented Speakers in
Doubtful States.
TAFT is UNABLE TO
SPEAK CONSTANTLY NOW
VIII Save His Voice for the Big
Night Meetings in Large
Cities.

NEW YORK. Oct. c0.--Mr. Taft will
leave Cincinnati tomorrow night ana
begin at once tour Of Indiana lie Will
close the campaign with a speech at
Youngstown, O., Monday night. NoVem-
Der >.
The impression that the Republican
National committee has virtually taken
charge Of the campaign In ONO IS err
roneous. The impression qouotlesS
grew out OF the statement made JodaE
bv Chairman Hitchcock that the Ma,
tional committee had arranged TO SEND
"A number of speakers into the state.
The National committee has done tnls
after a full understanding with the
state committee in Ohio. So the matter
was explained at the National head
quarters. The National committee IS
particularly interested in the ONO
situation because Of the many, though
disputed reports of dIsaffection IN sew
eral sections OF that state, but the com.
mittee insists that 1t has no doubt OF
the result in the state as whole, IT
uow proposes, ii was SAID, to cAneh
the nail,
Appear and Keep Silent.
Mr. Taft will appear at ali the DAY
meetings which have been announced
in his itinerary in Indiana and Oblo.
This arrangement has been agreed to
by the state committees IN Indiana and
Ohio.
The object of this is TO satisfy the
crowds that are expected TO attend,
and to save Mr.. Taft S voice for the
night meetings that have been an,
nounced. This statement was authorized
today by Chairman Hitchcock.
Chairman Hitchcock VIII leave for
Chicago tomorrow or Thursday, but will
be in that city for only two DAYS.
After that he will return, TO New York,
and remain here until after election.
After 4 conference late today with
State Chairman Woodruff, Mr., Hitch.
cock said that while he had never had
any doubt about New York. he was
more confident than ever that Taft and
plurality in the state, and he was Just
as confident of the reelection OF Gov.
Hughes.
Climax Of the Contest.
The final w.hirl of the Republican
national campaign will occur in In
diana, Ohio and New York. From now
until the day. of the voting every avail
able speaker of national reputation Will
be heard in the three states, which both
parties regard as pivotal.
The National committee has ar
ranged 10 throw the following speakers
into Ohio: Mr Taft, Postmaster-Gen.
eral Meyer, Secretary Garfield, Secre-
tary Straus, Senator DollIver, Senator
Lafollette, Leslie NJ. Shaw, Gen. o. o..
Howard, Representative Foster of Yer
mont and Representative Longworth of
Ohio.
The camgaign in Indiana will also be
conducted with all the vigor the Ma
tional committee can put into it.

west OF Scappoose, early yesterday

Five men. in charge of the train

These escaped. Twelve men were on
the one gravel car which was being
pushed uphill by the locomotive when
the runaway occurred Not one of
these men got away unhurt. They
chung to the car as it swept back down
the hill and jumped the track at a
sharp curve. Three of them were
killed outright, two more died while
being taken to Scappoose. and an
other died after being brought to the
GOOD Samaritan hospital at Port1s nd
None of the unfortunate 10 had
seemed really to understand Their
danger until their car had leaped thc
track and death and destruction were
IN their midst. The locomotive went
around the curve easily. The car fol
