BALLOONISTS
 SAILED TOWARD THE SEA.
Have Not Reported Since Starting
 Five Days Ago.

Bremen. Nov. 1.-The missing bal loon Dusseldorf II. with two American aeronauts, John Watts and Arthur T. Atherholt. on board, was probably the balloon seen sailing to the north on Monday by John Berry and A. Won Hoffman. when they landed with the Million Population near DanZig. Tn the course of an interview here today the two aeronauts said:
 After we had landed near Uecker- muende at noon on Monday we saw about an hour later a balloon sailing at the height of from 5000 to 11,0O0 feet towards the northeast. 1t soon disappeared in the clouds.
 "We believe the balloon was the Dus- seldorf H. and that the pilot had aim ed to reach Norway Since the balloon was so high in the air and was trav- cling at least forty miles an hour. the pilot could not have descended befors dork. and we were of the opinion that he would not be able to tell where he was berore next morning. By that time he must have sailed at least GOO miles, and if the balloon kept in the direction ot was taking when we ob- served it, it must have been carried far into Norwich or Lapland or even beyond into the Arctic ocean"
 The Dusseldorf Il. has not reported for five full days since she started in the race for the Gordon Bennett cup from Stuttgart on Sunday evening.

sssIKE DOWN INDUSTRIES.
Tsft Calls Colorado's Attention to
 Action of Democratic House.

Washington, Nov. 1.-At the White house today a letter from President Taft to Crawford Hill of Denver, dealing with the issues of the cam paign. was made public. It follows in bart.
 Encouraging reports have come to me m regard to the political situation ,n Colorado. From the beginning faNe felt certain that the campaign of education which the republican party E conducting would bring the people fo clear understanding of their own anteres5 in republican success this year. The men and women of Colorado need the republican party so much that # would seem almost unnecessary 10 urge them to retain these economic policies which have made their state great and prosperous.
 am sure that every man whose judgment is not controlled by his preJuoice nov realizes that this Is g. campaign between the republican and democratic parties. IL Is apparent that fhe third party mov sment has not gained hesdway ss a national force and that again the alternative Is pre- pented 10 the American people either fo-support the protective policy of the party in power or to turn over the government to those who are commit fed 10 repeat the experiment which re- Fuited in commercial explosion when hssi t was tried.

lon than those whose homes are iu the lowlands. But the people of Col orado do not need their vantage of altitude to see that democratic victory means the striking down of great Industry which has built up their state. It does not require profound knoWl- edge of the principles of political econ omy but only common sense to under stand that the placing of sugar on the free list would spell ruin for those of our fellow citizens who are engaged in the cultivation of the sugar beet. The democratic party Is committed to free sugar, and If 1t Is successful at the polls we may expect as one of its first legislative acts the passage of a bill to admit sugar duty free at our ports of entry. Democratic orators may talk until their throats are hoarse of the interest in the American farmer, but the fact remains that In March of this year the governing tariff body of the democratic party, the democratic mem bers of the ways and means commit tee, by unanimous vote reported the bill to place sugar on the free list, and this bill was passed by a demo- cratic house."
 O'Gorman Uses His Hammer. New York, Nov. 1.-Assertions that as president Colonel Roosevelt never tried to carry out the policies he now advocates and that President Taft had failed to carry out republican pledges for tariff reduction were the princi- pal thrusts which United States Sen ator O'Gorman of New York made of the opposing parties at the democratic rally at Brooklyn tonight.

Hartford. Nov. 1.-J. Henry Rora- back, chairman of the republican state central committee. tonight issued the following statement:
 There can be no doubt that if nor nal conditions prevailed in the repub- lican party. that is. if it were not for the progressive party movement. Con- recticut would exceed her plurality of 4s.00J oi four years ago tu President Taft From the most reliable infor- uiation which ] csu gather, l believe that the progressive vote will not ex- ceed 70 per cent. of the total vote of the state and it goes without saving that this vote will not come wholly from the republican party.
 Many Democrats to Vote for Taft
 There arc. of course. some changes sn party preference this year of re- Iubi.Cans who propose tO vote for Will sou. either because Of their free trade theories. or because of their erroneous belief that such vote will assist in making sure the defeat of Roosevelt; but ! am confident that the number rf such republicans is vastly less than that of those democrats who will cast their vote for Taft
 Taft's Plurality 10000 to 15,ooo.
 'I next Tuesday iS pleasant day l expect Go see boiled between l95,0o0 anl 200. 900 votes. Out of these there l. no question in my mind that Pres idcnt Taft will receive clear plural fty 1f between ten thousand and fifteen thousand
 "lf the sentiment of the voters with reference to the proposed democratic tariff tinke-ing. changes as rapidly from this time until Tuesday. as it has la ihe past few days, this plurality vii be greatly increased.
 State Ticket Will Be Elected.
 The entire state ticket will be elect Ed by substantially the same plurality ga the national ticket will receive. The next legislature will be republican by almost the same majority as that of TWO years ago"

SCHRANK EXPECTS
 A LIGHT SENTENCE
Believes Roosevelt Ought to Speak in
 His Behalf.

Milwaukee, Nov. 1.-Believing that Theodore Roosevelt does not bear mal- ice towards him, John Schranh, would-be slayer of the colonel, expects to escape with a light sentence.
 Schrank confided these prospects to Bernard H. Gottschalk, who occupies a cell near that of the notorious pris- oner. Gottschalk is a former resident of New York.
 Theodore Roosevelt is only human after alI," Schrank said. according to Gottschalk He was shot and has re- covered Now that it is all over and he has had time for reflection, his better self surely has concluded that I should be pitied and not condemned. When Mckinley was shot he showed forgiveness.
 The entire case rests with Roose- welt. I know if he will come here and speak for me and adopt a broad view of the matter, I will get light sentence His word will settle the whole matter. I should think he would come here when the ease Is tried"
