WAGE FIGURES
Bryan Failed to Give When
Advocating Government
Ownership.

NEW YORK, Nov. :.-1n speech
before the srmi-annunl union meet
ing of the Brotherhood of Engineers
OF Rev. York held recently at SYRIA
cuse, William e. Brown, senior vice
president of the $cw York Central
lines, drew a clean-cut contrast be-
tween the position of William Howard
Taft and William Jennings Bryan on
the question of government owner
rs1ip of, railroads. Incidentally he
gave to his hearers some Interesting
figures on 9the wages paid 10y those
foreign governments which owe and
operate their. railroads.
Mr.. Bryan. said Mr.. Brown. failed
10 tell the people. when he came back
from Europe two years ago. and an
nounccd himself as fNvorinE govern

his fare from Boston 10 Albany. dis

Brown. "hc would have found thai
the engineers who pulled the train
from Liverpool to London were pail
$500. while the men who run tn"
engines from Boston to Albany re-

Effort is Made to Buy Votes
Of Workers Here With
Mugs of Beer.
VISIT IN A SALOON
Campaign Cards Passed
Around But Consigned
TO Cuspidors.

Booze and Doodle constitute a
stock In trade of some of the Demo-
cratic managers and candidates.
Four years ago. when county cnndi-
dates were running with presidential
candidates that is about all the DEM
cratic campaign consisted of. They
had plenty of both and did not hesi-
tate to use both. wherever they could
place them.
This campaign Notwithstanding
the corrupt practices law recently
passed Democratic candidates have
been using both to influence voters,
indeed, they have been trying to buy
laboring men to vote for them by
giving them a mug of beer
Several nights ago Michael j.
Francis. candidate for sheriff on the
Democrats ticket, had a number of
workfngmen from some of the fac
tories as his guests at saloon in the
cast end of the city. While they
we're drinking the beer and booze he
ordered for them and paid for. hG
passed his campaign cards around
among them, and 1t is claimed he
said afterward he could buy the fac
tory mans vote with mug of beer
At any rate something angered
them and they did not hesitate to
tear his cards up and throw the
pieces In the 'spIttsUns.
This is one instance of the. use of
booze in the campaign by the Demo
Gratis. It is known much money has
been spent and will yet be spent by
democratic candidates to corrupt the
ballot box. aud it comes in very bad
grace for them to open their mouths
on that subject.

Spend Strenuous Day,
Both Claiming Victory

NEW YORK, Nov. 2-The last
turn was given today to the political
wheel of 1908. With the opening

hours away, the leaders OF the two
great parties are giving their atten-

Governor Hughes Is expected to de-

so many dificult phases and many
varying elements entering into the
