practically worthless in his opinion.
This made Mr.. BarnsdaIFs property
the trusts and the government coun-
sci hopes to show that he was thus
practically a dummy furnished with
funds to build up the business of the
Standard. The original loan was
made by the Standard Oil company
itself. but the last one, dated Febru-
seven years, was made by President
Young of the Prairie Oil and Gas
company, a Standard subsidiary.
Moritz Rosenthal gets more than
100000 each year from the Standard
Oil company. This much is known. 1t
is reported and not denied, that he
receives in addition $1,000 a day when
actively engaged in the defense of
John D. Rockefeller and John d.
Archbold. Mr.. Rosenthal has not re
ceived the publicity which many of
his contemporaries have in connec-
ton with such suits. but he has made
himself famous as one of the cleverest
criminal lawyers in the country
Mr.. RosenthaI was born in Dixon,
ILL.,, Al years ago, is a graduate of the
University of Michigan, was made as
sistant attorney general of Illinois and
later assistant United States attorney
under John c. Black. In this capacity
he fought the trust which he now de-
tends. One of the most remarkable
incidents of Mr.. RosenthaI's career
was when he cleared Chicago of a
hold-up epidemic by sending a score
of the worst criminals to Jail. He
successfully defended the Chicago
packers against the federal govern
ment and it was he who defended the
Standard Oil before Judge Lands, al
though he is not held accountable for
the $29.0O0,0OO fine. His work on the
trial so far has shown marked ability
in leading John D. Rockefeller and
John D. Archbold through the maze
of defense questions.

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Grand.

Patrons of the Grand are assured
of a musical treat when they see Will
liams and Walker in their latest sue
cess entitled "Bandanna Land to-
night and which compares with the
most successful musical comedies the
stage can boast. 1t is without doubt
the best vehicle Williams and Walker
have appeared in for many seasons,
principally because it is distinctively
characteristic of the colored man. 1t
is a negro musical comedy, full OF
their humor, songs and music, and
embraces all the qualities that make
the colored man our most original
entertainer.
1t is not generally known, but Mrs.
Mary J. Holmes wrote her book Lena
Rivers, which has made such pop
ular and successful play, around
scenes which she had actually visited,
and modelled her characters after peo-
pie she knew in those localities. Mrs.
Holmes taught school in the south for
several years, and while there studied
the people and their mannertsms,
with the result that she impaired the
Southern air to her book. Lena Riv-
ers Will be at tho Grand Saturday
matinee and night.
Announcement is made that the
Merry Widow will be presented at the
Grand Wednesday, December 20.

LEWIS STUYVESANT CHAMBER.

dent making has been a favorite pas.
time along the Hudson's classic banks
There are envious people in the mid
ole west and elsewhere who say that
all this is now changed; that the pri-
macy OF New York in national politics
as at an end. This may be so. Yet so
long as New York has thirty-nine votes
IN the electoral college she will con-
tlnue to be an important factor. Politi-
clans are not ruled by sentiment, how
ever much they may claim otherwise,
and th1rty-nine electoral votes all in
one bunch look very good to them.
Here Is the way the Democratic poll
ticians regard the matter, and the
view is not without it's common sense.
The Democrats can possibly win If
they carry New York. It all hinges on
that. They certainly cannot win with
out it. Owing to the split up condition
Of the Republicans in the Empire State
there is chance for the Democrats to
carry New York this year. Mr.. Chan
Ter actually did carry it two years ago.
Therefore, reason the politicians afore-
said, the logical candidate for presi-
dent-indeed, the only candidate that
can WINS Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler.
But how can you reason with a popu-
lar wave? The heart of the masses
says Bryan, and, if Providence or Bry-
an himself does not interpose, Bryan it
will probably be.
There is one other factor in the equa-
tion, however. The independence
league, the organization that originally
nominated Chanler for lieutenant gov.
ernor and that helped to elect him
threatens to place candidate for pres
ident in the field. This candidate, OF
course, will be Hearst, for Hearst Is the
league. Hearst will draw votes from
Bryan, thus diminishing his chances
for election, which never were too
promising. ......
On the other hand, Chanler, having
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1908-05-07
Effective Speaker.

During the campaign of 1906 Lieu
tenant Governor Chanler developed
into one of the most effective speakers
| on the platform. He was so intensely
in earnest, so individual and so indie
pendent that he captivated his audi
ences everywhere. His constant care
was to present his arguments in new
and striking ways. He would get up
In the middle Of the night to jot down
some point. One day while out with
Mr.. Hearst he felt a new speech rag
ing inside Of him and hunted up a
stenographer to whom to deliver it.
The stenographer was new, and Mr..
Chanler talked with great rapidity. As
result she got a word now and then
and guessed at the rest with more or
less startling results.
When the grafton was typed Chanler
handed it over to Hearst without
glancing at it himself. Hearst strug-
gled with it for about five minutes
injured air.
II think, Chanler," he remarked,
with some heat, that you are a id
anarchist or you have adopted some
new and untried language that even
Roosevelt hasn't heard Of"
Chanler looked at the chaos of words
that should have been his speech,
bought the stenographer box Of bon
bons and advised her to go back to
washing dishes.
Most of the Chanler brothers are
sportsmen, Bob being a great rabbit
and coon hunter in Duchess county
and Billy having shot lions in Africa.
Lewis Stuyvesant is an exception,
however. "He is a serious minded
chap" says friend, "who goes after
thing as if his whole life depended
on it. He isn't crank or anything
of that sort, but he's earnest in every
thing he does, and he tries harder
than any man I know"
Mrs. Chanler was Miss Alice
Chamberlain of Red Hook, and there is
now family Of two sons and one
daughter. The lieutenant governor is
not yet forty and has the possibility
of many accomplishments ahead of
him, even though one Of them is not
being president or the Democratic can
didate therefor, which is not exactly
! the same thing.
As second officer Of the Empire State
Mr.. Chanler has made distinctly ia
vorable impression. In New York the
lieutenant governors Office is more i'm
portant than in most states, for the
reason that the incumbent is a men,
| Der Of several boards and chairman Of
rome Of them. These boards have a
large share in public works and in the
actual details Of government.
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1908-05-07

still harder task. Mr.. Chanler belongs
to the last named class.
He is lawyer; but, like the boy
whose father was a Christian, he is
not working at it now. In fact, he
never did make much in the practice.
Having a steady income Of his own,
he didn't need the money. It is said
that his Office went without a chair
some time for the reason that Mrs.
Chanler stipulated that he could not
buy chair until he did it with money
he collected in fees.
How His Practice Grew.
But he did come in time to a large
practice. It was this way: Whenever
he saw any deserving person or any
person he imagined deserving who
needed a lawyer and had no money
Chanler would undertake the case for
nothing. This course gained him the
good will Of the people and the ill will
OF his brother attorneys. One dubbed
him "the poor mans lawyer and the
other "a crank"
Every man who aspires to the presi-
dency has to be compared to Lincoln
in some way or another. If it is not
the cut Of his whiskers, it is his stories
or his LONELINESS. Chanler has some
faint resemblance to the great eman-
cipator in at least two particulars. One
is that he is very tall, and the other is
that he refused to take cases when
convinced that his client was wrong.
He Is known to have thrown up at
least one case, and one involving q
good fee at that, when be learned that
his man was guilty.
MI. Chanler, in addition to graduating
from Columbia Law school, took a
course In international law in Cam
bridge, England. While in Great Brit
ain he became interested in politics
and was a warm supporter Of Parnell
In Ireland. He assisted in editing John

By JAMES A. EDCERTON.

"HERE is not as much said now
as formerly about the presiden-
E tial candidacy Of Lewis Stuyve-
SAINT Chanler, lieutenant govern
or Of New York. a few months ago
his boom was very much in evidence.
A number Of leading Democrats fore
gathered and gave it their after dinner
approval Then it sort Of dwindled,
and little more was heard Of it. At
present it is impossible to say more
than that Mr.. Chanler is possibility.
That word possibility" is very f1exi-
BILE.
Yet had circumstances been different,
had William J. Bryan not copper rivet-
ed his cinch on the nomination, there
are very many things about Mr. Chan
Ter that would make him an available
candidate. His chief recommendation
is, of course, that he was elected to the
second office in the Empire State when
the head Of the ticket was showed IN
der to the tune of 100000 There is
nothing succeeds like success, especial
ly in politics.
Another thing in CHAMBERS favor is
his location. He lives in New York.
1t may not be a matter Of general
knowledge that since the war the only
Democratic presidential candidate that
has not belonged to New York state is
William J. Bryan-Greeley, Seymour,
