Amid ehuckling. smiles. and laughter.
GOV Toole said he had no idea OF the
New York political situation, notwith-
standing the fact that he had spent four
Weeks In that political "Hexenkessei
don't know think about the political
situation In New York. said the Mon
tana governor, laughing heartily; mot a
thing; not a thing"
There is every Indication" continued
Gov. Toole, ''of Democratic House be-
ing elected this fall. Il only tho various
factions OF the Democratic party Will pull
together. In my own State everything
looks very promising for the Democrats"
The Montana executive declined to COM
NIT himself 70 the candidacy OF any
available prominent Democrat for the
Presidential nomination, saying the time
for indorsing candidates or launching
booms is TOO far OF.
Speaking OF the forest fires in some OF
the Western States, Gov. Toole aseribed
them 10 a number OF causes. such as
sparks from locomotives. camp fires, &c.
George B. Caldwell. OF Yonkers. n. 7.

ham. In reply to a question regarding
the political situation In New York, Mr..
Caldwell said:
Il don't pretend to be a prophet. or
even an astute politician, but Il strikes
ne that the old guard. led by Boss Ward.
is doomed TO defeat The people OF New
York; mean the Republican voters OF
New York State-are sick and tired OF
the old guard They put them 81 the
same class as the Democrats do Tam
many Hall. Roosevelt IS doing the peo-
pie good turn. whether he wins or not.
There IS much talk about Roosevelt's
doctrines and speeches 'unsettling' the
business and financial interests OF the
country. There is some truth in this
claim. but not much. II is true that he
does harm 20 the shady enterprises and
those honest business concerns which in
noeently have been drawn into business
dealings with ilegitir- re institutions
No honest business need fear Roosevelt
or MS doctrines"
Mr. Caldwell said that the Republicans
would probably nominate State Senator
Davenport as candidate for governor. and
that he had the Endorsement Of Roosevelt.
Senator Davenport. so far as I know.
is about the only name I have heard men
toned in connection with the Office II
the Democrats should nominate Mayor
Gaynor. however. I am satisfied that the
/ Republicans cannot defeat him. The
coming election viii not be on strict party
/ lines Republicans and Democrats Will
unite on certain candidates 10 get rid
Of the bosses in both parties. II Roose-
Welt were 10 accept the nomination re
would be knitted By the old guard. and
his chances OF election would indeed bs
/ slim
THE cost OF living up around New
York is Increasing every year" concluded
! Mr. Caldwell, but wages remain t4e
same: they are not increased 10 keep
pace with higher-pFiced foodstuns- The
tariff Is TO blame for this. and the peo-
pie are awakening 10 this fact every day.
The Republican party is responsible for
the tarii. and must take the conse-
quences at the polls"
II think the idea OF introducing manual
training in the public schools on broader
lines. as contemplated by the authorities
OF the Washington schools. IS decidedly
/ a good one." said J. J. Clark, OF scran-
ton, Pa. dean Of the International Cor
respondence Schools OF that city. who
was seen at the shoreham last night
Manual training, IL brought IN its first
| principles 10 the child when IL first enters
school, tends 10 assist 10 develop the men
/ tai faculties. thereby naturally helping
/ IN all other studies. Care should be taken
| that too much attention De not paid 10
the manual training programme, Il
should be nicely balanced with the other
studies, as otherwise It might interfere.
/ In other words, the other subjects, Ike
writing. reading. grammar. arithmetic,
| geography. &C, should not be made 70
suffer by the introduction OF manual
training in the public school curriculum. -
| Speaking Of Pennsylvania politics. Mr..
Clark said that there are four or five
candidates for governor II the field. and
that there IS every indication that the Re-
| publican candidate. Representative Tener.
would win at the polls
Pennsylvania is so thoroughly Repub-
liean," said Mr.. Clark, that there is 10
chance whatever for the candidates Of
the other parties. That also applies 10
| the election for members OF Congress
There is no such thing as insurgency
in Pennsylvania"
Benjamin c. Fredericks. Of New York.
who is at the New Willard. and owns ex-
tensive banana plantations in the West
Indies. in speaking Of the trade. said last
night:
Seventy thousand punches Of bananas
are brought 10 New York every day by
one company alone. That number Of
punches means about 5000 600 bananas. No
other fruit sells so well IN America as the
banana. and the captain OF one OF the
numerous steamships plying between New
York and the West Indies is authority for
the statement that no other people IN the
world are as fond of the fruit as New
Workers.
He told me he carried al kinds Of
fruit TO all kinds Of places, but he never
saw people such fools over anything IS
these New Workers over bananas. The
more they eat the more they want.
In the few months OF the season
oranges enough can be brought In 10 last
the whole year, but no matter how many
shiploads of bananas come in every week
