Daring Aviators Fight 80 Miles With
cut Food-BIanckerts and Com
panion Reach Railroad
Almost Dead.

Montreal. Que, Oct. 24.-It is the
opinion of August Blanckerts, aid Of
the balloon Germania, that Allan r.
Hawley and Augustus Post Of New
York. pilot and aid respectively of the
America H., which left st. Louis last
Monday and from whom no word has
since been received, are fighting for
their lives through the wilderness Of
northern Quebec.
Mr.. Blanckerts arrived here from
La Toque, Quebec. some distance
from the spot where the Germania
landed on Wednesday. He and Cap
tain Hugo Won Abercron had des.
perate fight for their lives after com.
ing to earth. They were 80 hours
forging to the railway line with only
a few crusts of bread for sustenance
Their clothing was torn to shreds and
they were almost in a state of collapse
when they struck the railroad. There
they met a construction gang and from
them learned that large yellow bal
loon had preceded the Germania over
practically the same route by half an
hour. The railroad men told Blanck
erts that the other balloon was very
high up and maintained the same alti
tude until she passed out of sight to
ward the Ungava wilderness.
Mr.. Blanckerts is Positive.
Mr. Blanckerts expressed the opin.
ion that the balloon was the America
II. The later report of the landing OF
the Dusseldorf II. in the same region
explains to the satisfaction of many
the appearance of the first balloon
but Mr.. Blanckerts has not changed
his opinion.
Colonel Theodore Schaeck, pilot OF
the Helvetia, met Blanckerts here Sat
urday night and after comparing notes
found that the Germania had gone 100
miles farther than the Helvetia. The
Dusseldorf H., according to unofficial
estimates, exceeded the distance rec
ord of the Germania by about 70 miles
The Germania came to earth at
11:15 a. m. Wednesday. At that time
there was still considerable ballast on
board, and the big balloon could have
kept in the air for several hours
longer but Captain Won Abercron
feared that they we're passing entirely
beyond the lines of civilization and II
was this that prompted him to land.
Balloon May Be in Forest.
Colonel Schaeck of the Helvetia
came down for the same reason. He
had enough ballast to continue for As
hours. he said. 1t had been generally
believed that the balloons could not
have kept afloat later than Wednesday
night, but the evidence of Won Aber
cron and Schaeck has exploded this
theory and if the America II. kept
them company on the journey into the
far North, her crew may still be strug
Cling through the almost impossible
forests Of the Ungava district, many
hundred miles from succor.

Murphy at Usage.

A good audience was out to the
speech last evening. Mr.. Murphy
makes very candid address, and is
very fair to all his opponents in al
that he says. He gives one the i'm.
preston of being well able to take care
of himselfin any forum where he might
be called upon to defend himself We
should be delighted to hear Mr.. Muir,
ply and Mr.. Haugen from the same
platform the same evening in joint
discussion.
Mr.. Murphy quoted freely from
speeches by President Taft and these
quotations were to us far more embar-
assng than the quotations made mrom
addresses by Senator Cummins.
Mr.. Murphy said it was a little diff
cult to anticipate what his ''distin-
guished opponent" would say but he
ventured the prediction that if he
should point to any special vote or act
with pride it would be to those where
he voted with the democrats more than
to any other. Mr. Murphy was dis
posed to agree with Mr.. Haugcn's
claims in the east end of the district
that the congress was ruled by one
man, but inasmuch as Mr.. Haugen had
voted for MIR. Cannon year after year,
it was little late to complain now. In
fact Mr.. Murphy wonders why it was
that Mr. Haugen was reported as IA
voring "Uncie joe for the presidency
three years ago, and now finds that he
personifes such vilainy. 1t would be
very appropriate for Mr.. Haugen to
explain this tonight to his Usage con-
stituents; also to tell them what he
proposes to Go in the next congress
with Mr.. Cannon. We believe the peo-
pie of the district would like to know
whether he intends to vote for or
against Cannon if he should be the eau
Gus nominee for apeaker. In other
words is his opposition to Cannon real,
or is it pretense for Fourth district
consumption to help him back to con-
gress for his seventh term so that he
can continue to draw that 81, 500 year
and have in addition a private secre-
tary paid for by the government.
Mr., Murphy is making a campaign
alone and against great odds, but he
has already alarmed the opposition so
that the Macedonian cry has been sent
to Senator Cummins for help.
1t is not likely that Mr.. Murphy can
overcome the big republican majority
of this district, but is is some salts
faction to see the alarm in the camp,
and to see Gilbert seeking aid from the
man he wanted to beat out of the
senatorship only two years ago.

The Company He Keeps.

In criticizing Mr.. Roosevelt for the
New York Republican platform, it is
but fair to recognize the plea of his
friends. No Republican leader conld
be expected to take so pronounced a
stand in New York for progressive
measures as in progressive state.
But due allowance being made for
those circumstances, what is to be said
OF Mr.. Roosevelt's letter of Septem-
Der Both, written from The Outlook
office, in which he congratulates Con-
gresham William E. Humphrey of
Seattle upon his denomination, and
says: "For the sake of the people of
Washington, as we'll as for the sake of
the country as whole, l hope you will
be returned" Naturally Congressman
Humphrey is using that letter now to
promote his reelection. And who is
Congressman Humphrey? He is de-
fender of the Aldrich- Payne-T tariff
bill, which Mr.. Roosevelt processes to
despise. He is defender of Cannon,
the 'Iron Duke of American politics, J"
as he called Cannon in glowing trib-
ute at the Washington State conven-
ton recently. He opposed the nomina-
tion for Senator of Miles Poindcxter,
the Republican progressive. He won
his own denomination, for which Mr..
Roosevelt is glad, by barely defeating
progressive Republican; and he can
be returned, AS Mr.. Roosevelt hopes
he will be, only by defeating pro-
gressive Democrat. IT, Mr.. Roosevelt
is truly what he makes his confiding
friends think nina progressive Re-
publican who uses the soft pedal for
progress in the State of New York be-
cause local conditions make it advisa-
ble-why does he use So loud pedal
for the tune in the State of Wash
ington. The Public.
