Renews Attack on Baldwin.

Renews Attack on Baldwin.
Another interesting development of the
last twenty-four hours was a renewal by
Col. Roosevelt Of his attack on Judge
Simeon E. Baldwin. democratic candidate
for Governor of Connecticut. Roosevelt
reiterates his charge that in labor mat
tiers Judge Baldwin is "retrogressive,"
and quotes from a decision the text Of
which he has just received. but to which
he previously referred In general, to prove
his point.
In your decision I'm question: says
Col. Roosevelt in another letter to Judge
Baldwin. you sQuarely took a ground
against the progressive view, which hold
to be essential to the welfare of the work
ingmen of the nation. and therefore to the
welfare of the whole people,
Norman E. Mack, chairman of the DEM
ocratic national committee. is certain that
a democratic landslide is due.
1T will really be a double landslide
said Mr.. Mack last night. iii there can
be such a thing. The result win be just
like 1895. except that the verdict will be
for the other side. and Mr.. Dix will get
as big a majority as Mr.. Bryan was de-
feated by in this state that year. In
1896 it was in the air that every one was
for the republican ticket. Now it is in
the air that every one is for the demo-
cratic ticket. OF course We all know the
reason. 1t is the high cost of living-and
Mr.. Roosevelt There is hardly man
whose wife hasn't asked him for a 25
per cent increase in her allowance in or
der to make both ends meet. That cOndi
ton is bound to come. Thousands of per-
sons are opposed to Mr.. Roosevelt because
they are convinced that he belittled the
making reckless statements
Coercion Of Workingmen.
Henry L. Stimson republican candidate
for Governor of New York, campaigned
through the Adirondack region yesterday,
declaring he had clear proof that the off,

which Is controlled by the sugar trust.
have been trying to line up their work
men against him. He thinks the company
is opposed to him because in 1906 he con-
victed 1t of receiving secret rebates. This
cost the concern more than $4,000.
A big bunch of money dumped into the
betting district Of Greater New York city
yesterday shortened the odds on the
gubernatorial contest from ) to to ? to
on Dix. About $4,000 was wagered, all
OF 1t at the last named price.
Some of the big bets of the day were
$4,000 TO 5000 on Dix, and $1,000 to
1000. $1,000 to $500 and s1,5oo to 800 on
money. $4,000 was reported to have come
down from Rochester, and the brokers
who handled 1t were said to have put out
a total OF $4,000 on Stimson. all at to
I. Philadelphia contributed $1,000 of the
Dix money.
Odds on the four-state bet, offered with
out takers early in the week, We're cut
yesterday, again without result. Then
81 900 to $4,000 was offered that New
York. New Jersey, Connecticut and Ohio
would go democratic. Yesterday the price
of the democratic end was increased to
49, 500. a bet of $3.50 to $1,000 was said
to have been made that the democrats

Stimson Is Accused.
The democratic leaders in the New
York state campaign are still trying to
prove that Stimson, the republican stand |
ard bearer, whose fame rests principally |
on his prosecution of the sugar trust and |
recovery Of large sums OF money due to |
the government was in fact too lenient to |
the corporation. Chairman Huppuch of |
the democratic state committee issued a
statement last night. Together with what |
he said was copy OF letter written to
the directors of the sugar trust by its I
counsel Huppuch points out that the
trusts counsel admitted liability of
about 100000 and then refers to Slim
sons statement that when he recovered
$1,000. coo he got for the government all
that was due.
After a conference in New York city |
yesterday between John A. Dix, the demo- |
cratic candidate for governor Chairman |
Huppuch of the democratic state commit |
tee and other leaders, a statement, signed |
by John ]. OBrien, president Of Local |!
No g. Of the Wall Paper Printers and |
Color Mixers Union. at Glens Falls, Hud- |
son Falls and Schuylersville, was given |
out. reciting that a great injustice has |
been done to Dix by the circulation of |
stories with regard to his alleged difficult |
ties with labor In respect to poor wages
paid by him.
Out in the middle west things political |
also continue warm and merry. In a |
sneech at Detroit yesterday Clifford Pin |
chot, former chief forester, who was |
ousted by President Taft for insubordina- |
ton delivered an address at a luncheon |
given by the chamber Of commerce Of |
that city. PinchOt took a few shots at |
raft, declaring he broke faith in sign
ing the Payne-Aldrich tarif bill, which |
of special privilege for their masters,
the interests enjoying those privileges.
At the conclusion of his speech Mr.. Pin
chot left for indianapolis. i
Interest in Pennsylvania.
In Pennsylvania interest still continues
TO center in the charges against John K.
Tener, the republican candidate for gov
ernor, and his ability to overcome the
bad impression made by his alleged con-
nection with various get-rich-quick con-
Germs. On a charge of libeling Tener.
E. A. Van Valkenberg. editor of the
Philadelphia North American, was held
in 5000 bail In that city yesterday.
