DErTH4TTON.

Out of 664 enrolled Republicans of the 1th
District of Brooklyn who replied TO the postal
card canvass of Charles S. Dewey, its leader.
seventy declared their intention TO vote the
Democratic ticket if Governor Hughes was not
renomiRated. Mr. Dewey had not invited their
confidence regarding their intentions in case OF
the Governors rejection. but they took the
trouble TO inform him notwithsta ndng. They
were enrolled Republicans The sentiment ex-
pressed by them is probably stronger in the I'M
enrolled section of the party. where indepen-
dence in voting and indifference to the organ
ization predomnate.
But assuming that Mr.. Devoys figures are
typical and indicate the feeling of the whole
body of Republicans throughout the state,
trifle over one Republican in every ten would
turn Democratic if the foolish plan Of rejecting
the Governor should be carried out. As the
vote for President Roosevelt in 1904 was about
$4,000 over 10000 Republicans on the basis of
Mr.. Devcr's figures would vote the Democratic
ticket. Such change in the vote would pro-
duce an overturn in the politics of the state
UNPARALLELED since the Democratic state machine
incensed the voters by its effrontery. change
of 10000 votes from the Republican to the
Democratic ticket would have wiped out Presi-
dent Roosevelt's great plurality of 10000 in
1904 and McKinleys plurality in 1906 and In
fact avery plurality by which New York has
been carried for either state or national Re-
publican ticket except the great figures of Nc
Kinley and Black in 1896. Yesterday Mr.. De
yoy had received 664 answers TO his inquiry.
OF these 441. all from enrolled Republicans,
declared for Hughes and 155 against, while ~
of the Hughes men took the trouble TO give
the unasked warning as noted. Yet the Re
publican organization captains in Mr.. Devoy's
district had reported that there was mo demand

ment exists elsewhere beneath the surface the

Cleveland lin those things Mr. Tafts record
shows him to be entirely dependable
The Cleveland article was written with fni
appreciation of Mr.. Bryans attitude as taflH

siderable body of Democrats would be hum
bugged by any temporary outburst OF enthu-
siasm for tariff reform on Mr.. Bryans part

Mr. Clevelands article will give no aid in et-
fecting that transformation. His last word TO

By the publication of an extended account OF
the recent attempt Of Professor H. kamerilnsh
Onnes to Iiquefy heum. Mature. an English
scientific weekly of high standing, evlnces a
certain degree of confidence in the credibility
of the I.eyden chemists claim to have per-
formed the feat The description merely sum
msrizes n paper submitted by Professor Onnes
TO the Academy of Sciences in Amsterdam
But the sngularly cautious attitude which the
nerodicaI referred TO has assumed toward many
we'll attested discoveries, even by British scien-
fists and the fact that Nature is printed in
the country which is the home Of Sir James
DeWar make its use of any report whatever
significant Until recently Sir James enjoyed
the distinction of having produced the most ex-
IRENE cold on record. He had both liquefed
and frozen hydrogen. In the second of these
achievements. many times repeated, he had
reached Il temperature of II centigrade above
absolute zero. Moreover. he had more than
once tried 10 reduce belium TO liquid state,
but without success. and only few weeks ago.
Just before the announcement of Professor
Onnes's work was made, expressed the belief
that the task was beset with almost unconquer-
able difficulties
In the main the Dutch chemist relied on the
cold resulting from the evaporation Of liquid
air and liquid hydrogen. For use in his expert
ment Of July 10 he prepared seventy five quarts
of the former and twenty quarts OF the latter.
The helIum itself was subjected to the refriger-
ating influence of expansion after having been
put under high pressure and after the heat of
compression had been removed. Professor
Onnes says that when the gas assumed a liquid
condition he had sxtys cubic centimetres of 1t,
the equivalent of cube measuring 1.6 inches.
1t gradually vaporized and disappeared, but
little of 1t was left at the end OF two hours.
Sir James Dewar believed that he reached
temperature of only centlgrade above abso-
lutte zero. and Professor Onnes reports the point
at which success crowned his efforts at Al cen
tigrade The Englishman came tantazingly
near 10 his goal. therefore, and the Dutchman
seems TO have triumphed only by narrow mar
gin. The two employed substantially the same
methods, but ii is possible that the scale was
turned in Professor Onnes's favor by a more
rapid expansion of the helium when the critical
stage was reached.
In more ways than one Professor Onnes has
been indebted 10 fothers for the outcome Of his
recent experiments. He frankly acknowledges
that he kept his liquids in the double walled
vessels devised by Sir James Dewar to avert
hasy evaporation. In the publication Of bis
