COX DISCUSSES
OHIO POLITICS

New York, September 17.-(SpeciaL) }
George B. Cox, republican leader OF
Cincinnati for many years. had a few
comments to make tonight at the Wal
dorfAstoria on the situation In Ohio
and on general matters pertaining to
the republican party In the nation, Mr..
Cox said that he had had a very pleas
ant meeting with Colonel Roosevelt at
Cincinnati, and he believed that the
ex-President's son-in-law, Nicholas
Longworth. of the First district of
Ohio, part of Hamilton county would
surely be reelected.
Mr.. Longworth's majority in 1908
was S220.
This in an off year in politics. you
know" continued Mr.. Cox, but Mr..
Longworth ought to be reelected GER
tainly by 5000. The democrats have
nominated strong man against him. .
How will Hamilton county GO in
the gubernatorial ight?" Mr.. Cox was
asked.
1T Is little early to make an es-
timate," replied Mr.. Cox. I'm the pres
idential year of 1908 Taft carried the
county by $4,000. and Harmon carried
1t by 10000, but this was due to the
liquor question. We have hardly got
started in the campaign in Ohio yet,
but Harding, our candidate for gov
ernor. Is one Of the best campaigners
In the country"

GAYNOR DOES NOT
REFUSE THE OFFER

Saratoga, N. Y, September 17.-Mayor
Gaynor's first words since he took office
as to his own attitude toward the move
ment now on foot to nominate him for
governor was received here today. In a
letter to Frank Click, secretary of the
Saratoga county democratic convention,
who had informed him of the resolution
adopted by the convention indorsing him
for the democratic nomination and plndg-
ing him the support of Saratoga county,
the mayor replies:
IT thank you exceedingly for your let
ter and the resolution which you inclose.
I shall have to carefully consider the
matter in the near future.
IT am now quite restored to my usual
strength. but have not yet fully recovered
my voice."
When Mayor Gaynor took Office he an
nounced that he intended to serve the
full term of four years, not only be-
cause he considered that his election i'm
piled a tacit pledge to fulfill the o,bliga-
tions thus assumed, but because he be-
lieved the office of mayor of New York
city second only in power and RESPONSE
bility to that of President of the United
States.

bot CAMPAIGN
FOR CONGRESS

Athens, Ca, September 1.-THE fight
between Congressman william Howard
and Col. ]. 8. Tribe for the Eighth dis
trict seat In the national House of Rep
resentatives will be decided by the voters
in the general election with both candi-
dates laying claim to the democratic
nomination. In the recent primary
Tribe received a popular majority Of
more than 600 votes and on the face of the
returns had a majority Of four votes In
the convention, under the county unit
system. The district executive committee,
because of alleged Irregularities In Elbert
county, threw out 10 votes. thus changing
Tribe majority of four votes in Elbert
county to a majority of eight for Howard
and giving the latter the convention vote
four-of that county
The Elbert county executive committee
disregarded the district committees ac-
ton and named Tribe delegates to the
convention. Howard delegates were also
named by the district committee.
Today the convention met to canviss
the vote and declare the nominee. Tribes
friends took possession of the convention
hal and amid the widest confusion
nominated Tribe, who accepted In a
brief speech Then Tribes followers left
the hall and after a call of the counties
showed Howard to have a majority Of
four votes, he was formally declared the
democratic nominee. He too, delivered
a short speech of acceptance and the con-
vention was adjourned.
The campaign is bound to be heated.

Census Figures on City Are
Very Disappointing
PEOPLE NUMBER 2,1S5,2S3
New Orleans Has Grown More Slowly
Than Chicago In the Last Decade
the Figures Showing Less
Than Twenty Per Cent

Washington, September 17.-(Special)-
Chicago has a population of 2,185,2S3. 1t
increased in ten years 1885, 70s. or 2s.7 per
cent as compared with 1,69S,575 in 1900. An
nouncement came from the census office
tonight. The official forecast gave the
city 2,276,000, exceeding the returns by 90,
OIL. The increase falls about 10 per cent
below the average for cities. New York
maintained the average with 1877 per cent.
In view of Chicago's previous rate of
growth the figures Indicate a setback.
Between 1890 and 1900 the increase was
54.4 per cent. Prairie tracts have since
been brought within the municipal limits
to help along the count. Even with the
towns and villages embraced in that ter
ritorial spread, which no doubt added sew
eral points to the percentage of increase,
the figures look small compared with De-
troits So per cent, Cleveland's 46.9 per
cent and Miwaukee's 81 per cent
Census officials confess to disappoint-
ment in the count. Although they took no
stock in the local boasts that Chicago
York, their advance estimates took into
account the movement of population to-
ward big centers and figured that Chi
cago ought at least to hold its own with
the other lake cities. They were not pre-
pared to see it bring up the end of the
procession in the matter of growth.

NEW HAMPSHIRE POLITICAL
SITUATION is TOPSY TURVY

of argument. republican leaders are will
ing to be quoted as saying that the re-
publican leaders are willing to be quoted
as saying that the republican party will
suffer far greater losses in the coming
elections in the east than they will west
of the Allegheny mountains
The real situation is that If the regu-
lars, the men who supported Bertram E.
Ellis for the republican nomination, cher
ish bitterness AMI resort to the knife
at the polls, the gubernatorial fight will
be won by the democrats. At present the
friends of Ellis are not particularly jubi-
liant In expressing their love for Bass,
II Bass is to win he must do some
thing to control the loyalty OF the Ellis
people.
As an instance of how topsy turvy and
doubtful the situation here is it is point
ed out that ICY" Sulloway, the regular,
beat his insurgent opponent for the nom
ination by to l. Currier also won
his denomination by handsome margin.
The state affords the spectacle OF a gu
bernatorlal candidate, rabidly insurgent
and victorious by an overwhelming ma
jority, while the congressional candidates
are standpat and have won their renomi-
nations by big majorities.

WILL
SUCCEED In WAR

Grandvillieres, France September H.
General Brun, French minister of war,
and the entire army are enthusiastic
over the achievements of the aeroplanes
and dirigible balloons during the mill
tary maneuvers which ended today.
The military experts are unanimous in
the opinion that the air machines are de-
stined not only to play an important role
in the future. but to greatly modify If
not revolutionize army strategy. Hence
forth 1t will be almost impossible to con-
ceal the position and movements OIL
troops, and SO will be eliminated practi-
cally the surprise flank operations, which
have decided so many critical battles.
Regarding the relative merits OF the
aeroplane and the dirigible, opinions dit
fer, but the consensus of opinion contni-
ues to be that as each supplements tile
other, a combination of both is neces-
sary. The aerpolane demonstrated its Eu-
per!ority in the matter OF speed, vulnera-
hility. independence of the wind and
weather, while It's portability avoids the
necessity of housing but at the same
time excessive speed of the machines is
q drawback, as 1t makes observation
from the necessarily vague. Twice dur
ing the maneuvers Ger Muncer' com,
manding the Third corps, was compelled
to send a pilot of an aeroplane back over
the scouting field to obtain more precise
Information.
The dirigibles, although slower, and
so offering a better target for the enemy
are able to make more accurate observa-
tions. besides enjoying the advantage OF
being in constant wireless communication
with headquarters.
The aeroplanists believe that their lack
of precision in scout duty can be over
come by preliminary training In air
observation from balloons.
While offensive aerial operations have
not been attempted here. General Brun
is convinced that the development of the
aeroplane, especially in an automatic
contrivance to regulate the speed and
the increase of carrying capacity to ac-
commodate a crew of three or four,
opens great field for aggressive aerial
operations.

FOWLER FIGHTS

Elizabeth, N. j., September T.-Al-
though Representative Charles N. Fowler.
one of the leaders in the fight against
Speaker Cannon, has been defeated for
denomination by the republican organiza-
ton, he acquiesces without complaint. His
attitude is defined in statement he gave
out tonight in part as follows:
From sense of public duty far more
than from personal ambition have made
a hard and clean fight for those prin-
cipIes and policies which I regard as
absolutely essential to the present ad-
vancement and ultimate welfare of my
country and, therefore, just as essential
to the continuance Of the republican party
In power.
But 1t now appears that the republic-
ans of the Fifth congressional district
have thought best to nominate some one
else to succeed me in Congress. / most
cheerfully acquiesce in their action-for

continue to fight for those principles in
the future as in the past within the ranks

washington, September '17.-(Special)-
Political prophets in New Hampshire be-
lieve today that Robert P. Bass, the in
surgent republican nominee for the gov
ernorship will win over his democratic
competitor, Clarence E. Carr. They also
believe that the two republican represen-
tatives from the state, Sulloway and Cur
rier, will be sent back to Congress.
Their reasons for these predictions fur
nish the amazing political sermon which
Is being preached among many republic
ans at this time. This Is that n the
states where insurgency is pror punced
enough to have definite Leadership and
10 put its candidates across In the pri-
maries and COZ ventions, the democrats
will be defeated, but that where tnsur-
gency, although existing, has no definite
leadership, the insurgents. rather than
vote for regular republicans. will sup
port democrats at the polls.
Reasoning on this basis, the statement
is made that New Hampshire Is saved to
the republicans because the republican
state machine is absolutely controlled by
insurgency, and the regulars, seeing the
trend of the times, will not knife the
insurgent candidates. On the same line
