WRIGHT TALKS ON FLIGHT
American AerOpIanist says Cross
Country work is Too Dam
gerous.

PARIS, Nov. 3 Wilbur Wright, the
American aeroplanist, was interviewed to-
day on the subject of recent successful
aeroplane flights made by Farnam and
Bleriot. He said he had no intention of
initiating them, as he considers cross coun-
try trips quite useless. He admired the
courage of his two colleagues, but believes
the straightaway flights to be 'best. In
spite of their skill and daring. they sooner
or later will encounter a fatal puff of
wind. he says, which their machines are
not sufficiently controlled to resist. Mr.
Wright is convinced that his method of
certain brief practice in turning over a
prescribed course will result in the surer
advance of aviation.
The National Aerial league has decided
to erect a monument at the spot where

DEBS KING OF CAMPAIGNERS
Beats Taft and Bryan in Extent of
Territory Covered During
the Campaign.

AS a campaigner Eugene V. Debs, So
ciallst nominee for president, has it on all
the rest.
When he steps from his special train at
Terre Haute, Ind, his home, to cast his
vote on election day, he will have COM
pleted the longest and most arduous cam
paigning tour ever made by a presidential
candidate.
Talk about Taft making a Swing around
the circle" or w. J. Bryan making a
whirlwind foray into doubtful states, Debs
performance up to date is the most re-
markable of any campaign Of history.
Curled up in a Pullman berth just two
inches too short to accommodate him COM
fortably, the socialist candidate has slept
every night but three since August 81. Part
of the time he has been really Ill, but mas
insisted on sharing the same quarters and
faro of his followers.
Starting from Chicago on the last day OF
August, Debs toured the west, travelled
10000 miles and made over 300 speeches.
Returning to Chicago on September %, he
arrived at 8 a. m. -Four hours later he had
started on a tour of the east.
He has Travelled 1900 miles up to date,
and told almost 400 different gatherings
just what is wrong with the social sys-
tenn, ana now WICKED the ObncI pOllllcdl
parties are. At the close of the campaign,
II carried out according to schedule, he
will have Travelled 1900 miles, and have
made more than 800 speeches.
The hat is passed at all points where
Debs speaks-the socialist way OF meeting
campaign expenses-and on the western
trip alone 1900 coins were collected, total
ing $500.
Dollar bills have been more IN evidence
since the party has been in the east and
q compilation OF the total contributions 10
the cause has not yet been made. but
Otto MoFeely, Debs' press representative.
says $4,000 persons have made contribu-
tions to the fund
In contrast to the democrats and repub-
iicans the socialists make no bid for votes
on the grounds OF the personal popularity
Of their candidate. Debs is not featured
as is Taft or Bryan. In driving through
the streets he chooses a closed carriage II
possible and no snap shots Of him, hat in
hand and bowling TO cheering crowds, are
made.-St. Louis Times

Next vice President says He Was
Expecting the News.
UTICA, N. Y, Nov. 3-James S. Sherman,
the republican vice presidential candidate,
received the election returns at his home
on upper Genesee street, this city, sur
rounded by a company Of relatives and
friends. The house was supplied with long
distance telephone connections and a d.
rect telegraph wire from New York, and
as the bulletins were read to Mr.. Sherman
he was congratulated by those assembled.
Mr.. Sherman joked and talked with his
visitors in a very happy frame of mind.
Congratulations came from all sections
early and the telephone wires were busy
with the messages that were sent from
home and abroad. a large crowd assem-
bled in the street In front Of Mr.. Sherman's
residence.
The result OF the national election does
not surprise me-" said Mr.. Sherman. For
the past month l nave been as sure of re-
publican success as 1 am tonight. The re-
publican party, platform and candidate
stood for stability, order, confidence, a
continuation Of prosperity based upon a
continuance of protection and the gold
standard; stood for the equality of all men
and ell interests before the law. Mr..
Bryan and Organism attempted to array
class against class, to stir up hate, to con-
fuse the voter by a multiplicity Of minor
alleged issues and to draw attention to the
tariff plank of their platform. Mr.. Taft's
campaign was dignifled. straightforward,
manly. He met every issue squarely, justi-
fled by clear argument his past acts and
his expected administrative policies. The
result justifies the confidence in the ulti-
mate wisdom of the peoples decision"
