York's municipal election only three
working days distant, there was a
general summing up of issues tonight
by the eight hundred speakers who
presented the causes of Gaynor, Ban
nard and Hearst TO audiences in ev-
cry corner of Greater New York.
Gaynor speaking four times to aud
fences in Brooklyn, Manhattan and
the Bronx returned to his plea for
greater personal liberty for the abol-
ition of police "czarship" and tyranny
in the enforcement Of minor laws.
Barnard. republican candidate told
several mass meetings that he stood
first, last and all the time for a bus
iness administration in a Tammany-
Free city.
Incidentally he attacked Mr.. Gay
nor's stand on the personal liberty
question
Beware of the candidates who tell
you they will not enforce the laws
They are dangerous demagogues and
their position in this matter is bound
to lead to graft Of the worst and most
widespread character. Mr.. Barnard
said
Hearst WAS silent tonight but his
followers. in ten mass meetings. kept
the fires burning. At each meeting
a long banner which hung above the
stage bearing the words down with
the bosses of both parties furnished
the text for the speakers.
Gaynor's plea for personal liberty
received an enthusiastic endorsement
at meeting OF German American cit

clusion of his address resolutions

opposed to a Puritanical Sunday as
well as the local option and prohibi-
tion agitation. as illiberaL un-Anncr-
lean and undemoCratic.

men debarked at Greenyille today and
came to Vicksburg this evening by
train. They Will board their boats
again tonight for the run to Natchez.
The schedule OF tho river trip has
gone all to pieces and although II Is
planned now to have the president
wait outside New Orleans on Satur-
day until most Of the boats can join
him there, the chances are that this
scheme will have to be abandoned II
Mr.. Taft is to enter the city during
daylight.
In making up the schedule OF the
trip Ii Is said that the maximum
speed OF the various boats were added
together and an average speed struck
for all. This was all right for the
fast ones but how the slow boats were
expected to keep up Is mystery that
river men say they are unable to
solve. President Taft tried to remain
with the fleet is long as possible. on
that account he was three hours late
at Memphis and two hours late at
Helena.

state of Montana. | will accept their
verdict
Continuing, DR.. Cook said;
AT the time of my arrival in New
York, after two years and three
months in the Arctic regions, and
the double discovery of the North
pole, there began a warfare to rob me
OF the glory of an achievement which
was. and is, rightly mine. Confident
that my rival had triumphed after
nearly quarter of a century in quest
of the great unknown, l, with all good
Americans rejoiced in his success, and
In Copenhagen l declared that there
was glory enough for two. Despite the
bitter attacks which have been made
upon me- nv attitude in this respect
is unchanged.
when this warfare failed, the en-
emy began this flank movement on
the climb Of Mount Mckinley; men
with money to burn in the flame Of
infamy entered the arena. Men of
this community. whom l had previ-
ousl believed honest, fell as victims
Their statements were absolutely un-
true. Still / nurse no spirit of revenge
or malice against these misguided
mem. My counsel. however has been
instructed to continue the investiga-
ton until We catch the guilty money
givers higher up.
Hamilton and Missoula have clear
ly shown their disa approval of this bat
tie of injustice. They have shown
that they do not believe this malicious
turn of rival powers. Your fairness
and your faith is a pledge of human
nature worth more than millions
thrown into the hell of bribery.
For the present / am willing to
trust my case to the citizens of Mon
tana as jury. After you have read
the mass of my testimony which my
counsel has collected, am ready to
abide by your verdict. Then, with
new expedition to Mount Mckinley I
will guarantee our future position. My
records are on the summit of the
Alaskan peak. and, accompanied by
unbiased, fair minded men. I pledge
you my word that / Will again reach
the top Of the mountain and bring
back this unquestionable proof of the
success of my expedition"
