of the most enthusiastic mas meetings
that the students have held for some
time. The cause of this excitement was
the organization of College Reputli-
can Club.
Some time ago a communication was
received from the Intercollegiate Re-
publican League and the matter has
been agitated ever since. There was a
FernaId Club here last spring and it
was most successful organization 1t
seemed best to the promoters OF the
FernalI Club to enlarge that orsaniza-
ton along the lines suggested by the
intercollegiate League and make the
club a College Republican Club with
national issues. This was the purpose
of the meeting tonight.
The committee that had the arrange
ments in charge consisted of John L.
Nadsworth, 90, Frederick M. Peckhan,
'GS, Lester H. Gerry, 'O9, and Arthur
F. Lnscott '09. These men have visited
nearly every man in college and this
accounts in a large measure fcr the
full attendance at the meeting.
Wadsworth presided and called for
speeches from prominent workers
Feckham gave a rousing speech. lie
said that there were at least 10 per
cent of the men in college that favored
Repubic;nism. This means that they
could carry the college on Prcsiden-
tial poll ly at least 100 majority.
After other speeches the matter OF
temporary organization was considered
and a committee was elected TO draw
tInt n a.
ton might be made permanent. It is
hored that the National League will
grant q charter. for which an applica-
ton will tc made as soon as permanent
officers are elected.
1t is expected that prominent work.
ers ard speakers from the State Re-
publican committee will visit the club
next week. Taft and the Full Dinner
T'air' is ne clubs motto. 1t will meet
again next week.
Although the appearance of the big
Republican posters was hailed with
great favor and even though the or
ganiza ticn of College Republican
Club has :ns+ the approval of the fac
ulty the Democratic forces have by no
means been idle. About 50 staunch
Democrats have started the ball roll
ing ard they plan to organize a College
Democratic Club. They will hold q mass
meeting in Poiynlnisi room in Hathorn
hall Thursday night and elect tenn
porary officers and appoint d ccmmit-
tee to draw un a constitution
The leaders Of this movement have
already communicated with leading 10
cal Democrats and they have received
much encouragement. Several of the
best Democratic speakers in the State
have promised to speak before the club
:,aniZed.

SITUATION SATISFACTORY.
Boston & Maine Stock Held by Indi
viduais Friendly to the New Haven.

New Haven, Conn. oct. 1.-Whilt
nothing can be asccrtained at the Of
fees of the New York. New Haven 4
Hartford Railroad here in regard tc
the immediate relations of that cor
poration with the Boston & Maine. a
high official OF the company can be
quoted as saying few days ago that
the situation at present is satisfactory
This implies that no changes of an
important character are contemplated
at the coming annual meeting Of the
Boston & Maine where. as being per-
sonal holdings, the 10000 Billiard
shares can be voted.
According to a statement of the Of
fetal the situation for the past year
has been satisfactory to the New Hav-
eE Co. apart from the various suits
as the opposition to the merger has
prevented it's assuming control Of the
Boston & Maine and carrying out i'm
provements upon it during a period of
financial stringency.
AS regards. however. the recent &C
QUESTION of shares of the Boston &
Maine by interests presumably allied
with the New Haven there are grounds
for believing that such is the case. The
last statement of the New Haven Co.
showed that apart from funds on hand
for the payment of interest and divi-
dends it had cash on hand amounting
to $19.57l.741. There were also $780,
SPA shares Of treasury stock in me
New Ravens treasury. which was the
amount placed there some Is months
ago in order to exchange New Haven
shares with shares of the Boston &
Maine under the original plan. These
figures show that in case the merger
plan is renewed the New Haven has
ample resources.
Another element in the situation
suggesting the purchase of additional
Boston & Maine shares is the fact that
at the present time the difference of
some 16 points in the market value or
shares of the two companies would
make such a purchase very profitable.
If such purchases have been made the
stock undoubtedly has been invested in
private hands not antagonistic to the
interests of the New Haven corpora
ton.

LOOKS TO TAFT.
Europe Watching Progress Of Present
Campaign.

New York, Oct. il S. Bache, of
j. 5. Bache & Co, who returned yes
terday from Europe, said that the for
elgn investing public was watching the
progress of the election campaign here
with greater interest than usual, and
that once the election of Mr. Taft was
assured the large amounts of money
invested in this country for foreign
account would be heavily supplement-
ed
French investors especially. Mr..
Bache said. were taking more interest
in financial affairs on this side of the
Atlantic than ever before. and the
largest investment demand could be
looked for from France He added
that conservative foreigners desire not
only to be assured that Republican
control will prevail. but also that Mr..
aft will administer the so-called Roose-
welt policies in a conservative manner.

NAV seem. In the natural economy OF

comma nding the lower freight rate charg-

rate and the unlimited carrying capacity

tons of raw materiol to furnaces and fac
tories there to be converted into cores
ponding tons of merchandise capable OF
bearing a higher freight rate charge. Thus
one system becomes cOmplementai of the
other. Illustrations of the working OF
this principle are to be found on the
shores of the great lakes, the Erie canal
