PROVINCE OF MORO
WANTS TAFT ELECTED
c. F. Vance, Chief Engineer, on
Way to Philippines, Gives
Interesting Information

The people of Moro, the largest pro-
vince in the Philippine islands. anx-
io1sly await the result of the coming
election, hoping that William Fl. Taft
will be the victor This informa ton
was ventured yesterday by c. f. Vance.
chief engineer of the province under
the civil rule, who arrived in this city
yesterday from Washington to return
TO the islands on the transport Thomas.
Vance has been in Washington con-
ferring with the secretary of war, and
as a result of the conference plans for
extensive municipal, harbor and dock
improvements were formulated, which
will involve an expenditure of several
million dollars.
Moro provincel has been suffering
from lack of legislation said Vance,
and the people believe that Taft, who
is familiar with it's needs, will secure
the necessary legislation in congress.

voice from within the booth was heard
all over the hotel lobby, creating much
amusement among bystanders, who did
not have to eavesdrop TO catch the
spurport of his remarks The conver-
sation was partly in a code that was
not understood, but enough was learned
to show that he pleaded with Murphy
to also consent to Macks selection.
Finally Connors emerged from the ho-
tel booth, mopping his red face with
a bandana, but nevertheless with a
triumphant smile. Mack's selection as
national chairman was announced that
same afternoon in Chicago.
But" l asked my informant, do
you SUPPOSE for a moment that a man
OF Mr.. Bryan's high character would
stoop to, make bargain like that,
more especially in view of the char
acter of New York states democratic
chairman" My informant gave me a
withering look, as though to say you
have something yet to learn about po-
litical trickery and political bed fel-
lows
Il do not think anything about it,"
said he, II know, for a fact, that Mr..
Connors wants to succeed Senator De-
pew, and that he has received an as
surance of Mr.. Bryans support
The personality of Mr.. Connors has
been described at some length here
tofore in The Calls dispatches. He
is of that vigorous, hardy type OF
Irish politician that believes in free
use of the shillaleh as an argument.
AS before stated, the habits of life
acquired by Mr.. Connors as a water
front roustabout or longshoreman
cling to him in later years. Life in
the open and that Vigorous handling
of steamboat freight coupled with a
naturally robust constitution, have
combined to give him a physical make
up that is SO helpful sometimes in
democratic ward politics and in poll
tics higher up. Certain it is that Mr..
Connors' influence was always potent
at democratic gatherings, and he was
truly regarded as one Of the best
rough and tumble fighters in the
northern part of this state. The ele-
ment of fear has no place In Mr.. Con-
nors' composition. He will fight at
the drop of a hat. He scorns the more
polite Marquis of Queensberry rules,
but willingly enters into catch as
catch can affair. Biting and gouging
are his specialties. One of the mem
bers of his left hand is missing as
the result OF a primary election.
Hence the name "Fingy" affectionately
given him by his admirers. Since at
tanning a position of some Importance
in the world of politics Mr.. Connors
has carried a formidable blackthorn
stick-cut In Ireland and mounted with
silver, as befitting the dignity of an
important politician.
In personal appearance he is not un-
like Senator Stephen B. EIlxins. That
is to say. he is smooth shaven, thick
necked and square jawed
While Mr. Connors would not be ac-
tually an ornament to the United
States senate, it is believed he would
be picturesque addition to that body.
Thomas B. Reeds definition of a
statesman was. "A politician who has
since died.
In considering the candidacy of Mr..
Connors for the high office of United
States senator we must not lose sight
of the fact that the lives of some poll
ticians of national fame, now dead and
gone, and who are consequently now
regarded as having been statesmen,

tion than Grover Cleveland. COM
patriot of "Fingy' Connors. in Buffalo.
Cleveland, who developed from a ward
politician into q figure OF national
prominence. having been twice honored
with the presidency, finally came to
men Of his time, and died universally
respected and admired by all, ire
spective of party affiliation. Thirty
years ago Cleveland was an obscure
lawyer in Buffalo. 1t is no disparage-
ment to say OF his early life that he
was a very plain citizen. He mixed
with the common. people" and even
when sheriff Of Erie county was not
too proud to sit in the back room Of a
beer saloon and, in his shirt sleeves
play friendly game of cards with
his contemporaries. The former Wash
ington correspondent of the Buffalo In
quirer (Connors' newspaper) says that
occasionally he used to drop into one
of these back rooms and watch Cleve-
land play friendly game Of pinoehle

Amos j. Cummings. who began life
as compositor on the New York Sun
and developed into one of it's best
known writer's. and VINO was thereafter
elected to congress, used 10 relate in a
Cleveland. I can recall Cummings
language in telling the story:

Albany. where I was sent by the Sun
TO report the democratic state conven-
tion- of 1882. II was pretty warm
day and as I sat on a divan fanning e

Yes. I came down to be nominated
for governor. if 1 can.
II looked for a joke in his eyes.
but Mr.. Cleveland was serious. He read
my thoughts and blurted. or rather
snapped:
why not? I carried Erie county
against big republican Odds
After Mr.. Cleveland has washed up
he hurried across the street to the
office of Dan Manning. editor Of the
Albany Argus. Apparently he made
short work OF convincing the editor
that his candidacy for governor was
worthy of respectful consideration. for
the Argus editorially mentioned Mr..
Cleveland as a dark horse guberna-
torial possibility and the morning
after strongly recommended to the re-
spectful consideration of the conven-
tion a democrat who could carry Erie
county in the face of overwhelming
odds.
Mr.. Cleveland did not hesitate to go
about among delegates, personally urg-
nation. He was greatly helped. of
course. by the fact that the nomina-
ton was not much in demand. 1t went
begging and Mr.. Cleveland got it. That
was. of course. the real beginning OF
his career"
