PRESIDENT TAFT, as, might natur-
ali, oe expected, is keenly Interested
In The result i'd thenFifth New jersey
district. In a conversation recently
with Frank H. Smith, chairman of
the Union County Republican com,
mittee, he manifested a special desire
shat Mr.. Runyon be elected by a good
majority. He said he had heard many
favorable reports of him, and that he
represented that class OF progressive
Republicans, whose success would be
especially pleasing to the administra-
tion at Washington. From reports
received by the president he had no
doubt that the district would be loyal.
The president recognizes neither
standpatter nj OF insurgent In the
struggle now upon us. All are Re-
puhlieans, who helped him win by a
large majority two years ago., and he
looks to Them for an endorsement
now. Mr.. Runyon, as matter Of
fact has declared against the re-elec-
tiOn Of Speaker Cannon to that high
ONCE, thus putting himself in line
with the progressives, and it is the
presidents hope and belief that all
disgYuntled Fowler men will abide by
the decision of the majority and sup
port the whole ticket. Mr.. Runyon
would support Republican policies
during the remainder of President
Talt's administration His opponent,
il elected, would, on the other hand
seek to embarrass it In every way pos
sihae.

WOULD Democratic victory in 1910
increase the wages of any worker in
the country ? Would it start asingle
wheel in operation which is idle now ?
Would it broaden the market for any
fabric which any American mill pro-
duces2 Would it. sell an additional
busllel of corn or wheat, bale Of cot
ton. pound OF meat or anything else
which the farmer or the planter pro-
duces? No sane person among the
s0.0O0,O00 people OF the country will
answer any of these queries ia the at
armative. Complaint is made that
the cost of living is too high. Would
the election of a Democratic congress
this year or a Democratic president
and Congress two years hence lower
she cost ? Would it reduce the rent
Of a tenant anywhere ? Would it cut
tina price Of yard of cloth, a pair Of
shoes, barrel OF flour or anything'
whatever which anybody wears or eats.
ANY person who answers yes to any
Of the latter queries will do so upon
she assumption that a Democratic
victory would close factories and
shops, throw hundreds OF thousands
out of employment, and, by reducing
the purchasing power of everybody,
compel producers to lower their prices
in order to be able to sellsanything at
all. This, indeed, is what resulted
from the, election OF 1892, which gave
the country not only Democratic
president, but Demectatic congress.

TIDE ENCULFS MILES AS HE
 FALLS IN FIT

Lying upon a sandy waste west of the public bath houses al Seaside Park. left high and dry by the reced- ing tide. the body of Barney Miles, who for nearly two decades had been a pie turesque character about the city. was found by employees of the park depart ment at S:3o his morning.
 Medical Examiner Downs completed an examination of the remains at the morgue of Rourke & Rourke this noon. and said in his opinion Miles death was due to his having been seized with an epileptic fit which left him writh- ing on the sand as .he tide engulfted him.
 Charles Miller. one of the park em- ployes. discovered the body when he reached the bath house this morning. He and other workmen are grading near the bath houses. The body of Miles lay in the sand. face downward. The clothing was water soaked. but the tide had gone a number of feet ou, from where the corpse lay.
 Miles was subject to epilepsy. 1t is believed that he wandered to the park. and after roaming through the bath house. walked down to he sandy waste beyond the end of the boulevard where he was stricken with a fit. Unable to help himself he lay on the sand until the rising tide covered him. Miles was seen by attaches of the moreue last night a, 8 o'clock near Golden Hill and Main street.
 The tragic death of the negro re- moves a we'll known character. Miles received a slight wound on his hand years ago. Improper treatment and neglect allowed the wound to develop infection. which necissi ated the am- putation of the members above the wrist
 In 1905 Niles, stricken with illness, became an inmate of Lakeview Hone. But he preferred the freedom of living about the city. sleeping wherever night overlook him. From ime to time he made a little by running errands sell ing watercress and from other kindred occurat'o 'ons. He left the almshouse several times. The last time he went there was in July of this year.
 Though Miles appeared to be near ly so years old he claired to have been horn in Long Island as la as 1851. the son of John Miles and Susan Jones.

ALL STAMFORD TOOK A TRAIN
 THIS MORNING

One branch of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad grew popular at the expense of the other branch in Stratford this morning.
 When the big power cable beneath the Pequonnock river burned out, Stratford. was cut off from all trolley communication with Bridgeport. Hun dreds of Stratfordites who work in Bridgeport were forced to take the two trains which get into Bridgeport between and 8 a. m.
 In each case, the engineers, seeing the Stratford depot black with people, supposed there must be a wreck or something and pulled very slowly in- to the Stratford station. The com- muters piled onto the roofs, the fend- CTS. the journals the gas tanks, the couplers. the brake beams, the engine tender, the fireman's box, the engi- neer's seat, the top of the boiler, the piston cases and everything else that afforded seating room.

 OFF,; OLD ON

More than a dozen automobilists who have received from Secretary of State Matthew Rogers the.r hand some new automobile markers, blue numbers on a white background, have been stopped by the local police and instructed to replace them, with their old markers. white letters on red background.
 Secretary Rogers notified the police, yesterday. that the regulations gov- erning the license numbers require the use of the red and white variety un- til New Years. After Jan 1, the new marker must be displayed, but not before that me.
 The color combination of the new marker is very striking. and many automobilists who have already re. ceived them took the first opportunity of changing the old for the new. Traffic policemen at Fairfield avenue and Main street found occasions to stop half a dozen motorists today to warn them they must not use the new markers until after Jan. l.
