Expect Interesting Fight.

Politicians In New York think that the
fight at the polls in New Jersey promises
TO be very interesting. 1t Is conceded
here that the democrats at their state
convention yesterday nominated very
strong man for governor in choosing
President Woodrow Wilson.
\ very significant feature of the con-
Vention was President Wilson's success in
ouelling the threatened outbreak of fac
lionalism. His personality, magnetism
and eloquence won over the men who had
been opposing him III the convention. and
after his speech the convention adjourned
in good humor. where at one time 1t had
seemed likely to break up II a row.
The republicans at their convention next
week will nominate Vivian Lewis for
governor, a popular and strong man. and
then the democrats and republicans will

Appeals to All Republicans.

President Taft, our President. 'caim,
considerate, wise and patient leader. in
his letter 10 Chairman Mckinley. after
ing the record made by the present
Congress- makes an earnest appeal TO ali
republicans He has often said that he
will read no man out of the party They
must read themselves out, and he has
clearly set forth a way by which all true
republicans can meet on one common
ground.
In that letter he makes this special APP
peal that after all the congressional
nominations are made the question will
be not what complexion of republcanism
one prefers. but whether il is better for
the country to have the republican party
control the legislature for the next two
years and further redeem its promises.
or TO elect democratic majority in the
House either to interpose a veto to re-
publican measures or TO formulate and
pass bills TO carry out democratic prn-
ciples.
We "a republicans may we'll follow
such leadership, putting aside personal
views as to details and joining heartily
in the earnest effort TO prevent the adNo
Gates OF a tariff for revenue from gain
ing control. Let us unite in one COM
mon assault against the enemy and there
will be returned a republican majority to

The Party of Sanity.

There will he determined the future of
the republican party in the state Of New
York for some years to come That party
must determine. in its platform. whether
it will be recognized as the conserving
whether it will follow the radical policies
of Mr.. Roosevelt and lose the strategic
position which it has held in the state
of New York for many years, as the
rarty of sanity and the protector of In
dustry. upon which the world of business
and labor mustsdepend.
IF it does not hold to its time-hon-
cred and successful principles or seeks
for new gods to worship. it's mistake will
be taken advantage of by its adversary.
No radical candidate has ever carried
the state of New York. Progress In DO
litical life is essential to any party, but
the state leadership which relies for its
upon melting the mob can never
even If 1t tries, stem the tide which it
has created.
The republican party in this state has
never faced a crisis SO fundamental to its
existence such as it must meet at this
hour"
Colonel Accepts Issue.
When Mr.. Barnes statement was
shown to Col. Roosevelt, the colonel
dictated the following comment:
Il am indeed blessed in my enemies
am very genuinely grateful to Mr.
Barnes for having unconsciously made
the issue SO clear by what he is pleased
TO call RoOseveltism on the one side and
ON the other side the alliance Of the
boss with that element of big business
which seeks to control politics in con-
nectfon with business"

Keynote by Loudenslager.

The speech of Representative Louden-
Slayer. accepting the denomination unani-
mousiy' rendered him yesterday, outlines
the attitude of New Jersey republicans,
and more than that. by reason OF the fact
that Mr.. Loudenslager is secretary and
acting chairman of the republican ma
tional congressional campaign committee.
may be said to reflect the sentiment of
the committee which Is conducting the
national campaign for Congress in behalf
of all republican candidates for Congress
regularly nominated by the party.
For this reason this may be deemed
more than ordinarily significant. and in
order to give, for the first time, an idea
of the attitude of the national congress
sional committee, / quote verbatim from
!, part Of the speech Touching the tariff
and the administration Mr.. Loudenslager
said:
Certain schedules have been attacked
and criticised, and If injustice has been
done the republican party will apply
the remedy. The principle of protec-
tion is not assailed, and We all agree
that II would be suicidal to abandon
q well tried policy and adopt the tariff
ior revenue proposed by all democratic
leaders. This is a vital issue OF this

State Federation of Labor
Adopts a Protest Against

Henry NJ Walker and Julius A Moe

Mexican labor is brought in at Ell Paso
and that the resolutions committee
brought In a resolution which was
unanimously adopted, taking a pretty
hot shot at the practice The resolution,
as he copied IL, follows:
Whereas. At the FL Paso port Of en-
try there is practically no attention paid
TO the admission of Mexico's poems, who
are entering the United States at the
rate of more than 1000 per month. many
of whom are partially skilled as musi

who are displacing home and citizen Ia

undesirable wholesale admission;

home life. The love of books he con-
sidered a pose and he scoffed at the
men who took their reading seriously.
The university attracted him mostly
by its most undesirable features, its
sports. its secret societies, its petty
cliques. and its rowdyism. The broad
spirit and the dignity of the alma
mater he ignored completely. Directly
he went to Yale he started in to en-
Joy himself and with the sophisticated
Underwood as guide, went to the
devil faster than any man before him

came only a convenient cloak to con-
ceal his turpitudes- Poker playing,

noticed He had laughed at it then
as a good joke, but now he came to
think of it, perhaps it was true. Pos
sibly he was a subject Anyway he
was glad to be rid of Underwood and
his uncanny influence.
The train stopped with jerk at his
station and Howard rode down in the
elevator to the street Crossing Eighth
avenue, he was going straight home
when suddenly he halted. The glitter
and tempting array Of bottles in a
corner saloon window tempted him.
He suddenly felt that if there was one
thing ne needed in the world above
all others it was another drink True,
he had had more than enough already.
But that was Coxe's fault. He had
invited him and made him drink.
There couldn't be any harm in taking
another. He might as well be hanged
for sheep as a lamb. By the time
he emerged from the saloon his
speech was thick and his step uncer-
tain. A few minutes later he was
painfully climbing up the rickety stairs
of a cheap-looking fat house AS he
reached the top floor a cheerful voice
called out:
'Is that you, Howard, dear?'

them more attractive. He himself at
college had fallen entirely under the
mans spell There was no doubt that
he was responsible for all his trou-
bles. Underwood possessed the I'M
canny gift of being able to bend peo-
pie to his will What a fool he
had made of him at the university
He had been his evil genius, there
was no question Of that But for
meeting Underwood he might have ap-
piled himself to serious study, left the
university with honors and be now a
respectable member of the community.
He remembered with a smile that it
was through Underwood that he had
met his wife. Some of the fellows
limited that Underwood had known
her more intimately than he had pre-
tended and had only passed her ON to
him because he was tired of her. He
could swear. was as good a girl as
ever breathed
He couldn't explain Underwood's
influence over him. He had done with
him what he chose He wondered why
he had not tried to resist The truth
was Underwood exercised a strange,
subtle power 'ver him. He had the
power to make, him do everything he
wanted him to do, no matter how fool
ish or unreasonable the request. Every
one at college used 20 talk about ii.
One night Underwood invited all his
classmates to his rooms and made him
cut up ali kinds of capers He at first
refused, point blank-but Underwood
got up and. standing directly in front
of him, gazed steadily into his ewes.
Again he commanded him to do these
ridiculous, degrading things. Howard
felt himself weakening. He was sud-
denly seized with the feeling that he
must obey. Amid roars of laughter
he recited the entire alphabet stand
ing on one leg, he crowed like a
rooster, he hoped like a toad and
he crawled abjectly on his belly like
a snake. One of the fellows told Kim

ready made. He had 10 doubt that
in the Jeffries family somewhere in the
unsavory past there had been a weak,
vicious ancestor iIonI whom he had
inherited all the traits which barred
his way to success.
The crowds of hungry workers grew
bigger every minute. Every one was
elbowing his way into neighboring
restaurants, crowding the tables and
Bullets, all eating voraciously as they
talked and laughed. Howard was
rudely reminded by inward pangs that
he, too, was famished. Not a thing
had passed his lips since he had left
home in Harlem at eight o'clock that
morning and he had told Annie that
he would be home for lunch. There
was no use staying downtown any
longer For three weary hours he had
trudged from Office to Office seeking
employment, answering advertise
ments, asking for work of any kind,
ready to do no matter what, but all to
no purpose. Nobody wanted him at
any price. What was the good OF a
man being willing to work if there
was no one to employ him? A nice
lookout certainly Hardly a dollar
left and no prospect of getting any
more He hardly had the courage to
return home and face Annie. With a
muttered exclamation of Impotence
he spat from his mouth the half-con-
sumed cigarette which was hanging
from his lip, and crossing Broadway,
walked listlessly in the direction of
Park place
He had certainly made a mess Of
things, yeti at one time, not so long
ago, what brilliant future life
seemed to have in store for him, No
boy had ever been given a better
start. He remembered the day he
left home to go to Yale; he recalled
his fathers kind words of encour-
agement, his mothers tears. All, if
his mother had only lived, Then,
maybe, everything would have been
different But she died during his
freshman year, carried of suddenly
by heart failure. His father married
again, a young woman 20 years his
junior, and that had started every
thing off wrong. The old home life
had gone forever. He had felt like
an intruder the first time he went
home and from that day his fathers
roof had been distasteful to him. Yes,

tunes back to that He couldn't stand
for stepmother, a naughty, selfish,
supercilious, ambitious creature who
had little sympathy for her predeces
sor's child, and no scruple in show
ing it.
Then, at college, he had met Robert
Underwood, the popular upper class
man, who had professed to take
great fancy to him. He. a timid young
freshman, was naturally f1attered by
the friendship of the dashing, fascinat-
ing sophomore and thus commenced
that unfortunate intimacy which had
brought about the climax to his trou-
bles The suave, amiable Underwood,
whom he soon discovered to be a gen
tlemanly scoundrel, borrowed his
money and introduced him into the
sporty set, an exclusive circle into
which, thanks to his liberal allowance
from home, he was welcomed with
open arms. With a youth of his pro-
cIivities and inherent weakness the
outcome was inevitable At no time
