The Republican National Committee
gave out the following statement last
night.
The statement has been made that rail-
way mall clerks will be compelled this
year to pay railroad fares to their homes
from wherever they may happen 10 be IL
tbey desire 20 vote. An effort has been
made to circulate this statement and 10
give IL a political flavor AS a matter of
fact there Is not the slightest foundation
for IT, The following letter from Tbeo-
the railway mail service, explaints' the
situation:
mo such order is in effect. Clerks were
given the same privilege this year that
use their transportation TO go 10 their
homes for the purpose Of voting In the

EXPECT CAR STRIKE TO-DAY
Whitridge Says Final mo" to
Westche ester Trolleymen.

The refusal of Frederick w. Whitridge
president of the Yonkers Railroad Com
pany and the West Chester Electric Rail
way Company, of Mount Vernon to sign
an agreement suggested by Mayors Len
non Of Yonkers, Fiske OF Mount Vernon
and Waldorf OF. New Rochelle, which
would have settled peaceably the diff
culties between the motormen and con-
ductors and the trolley companies. led to
the belief in Yonkers last night that the
service would be suspended to-day.
The conference Of Mr.. Whitridse and
the mayors lasted nearly two hours. Mr.
Whltrldge reiterated his position that that
there was nothing to arbitrate; that he
could not make contract with an unin-
corporeted and irresponsible body.

Presidency if Both Branches

TBy Telegraph TO The Tribune. ]

Long Branch, y. j., Nov. Ex-Governor
Wilson told about fifteen hundred per-
sons In the Lyceum here tonight that II
he could get the Presidency Of the United
States and have his choice he would not
take 1t unless the two Houses Of Congress
were Democratic also. He said that he
had a willingness and longing TO serve
the people, and he said that 1t was enough
to break a mans heart to get only part
Of the means to do so.

Presidency, provided I would take II
without the support OF the two houses
and have my choice In the matter

would be, no doubt a very conspicuous
place to occupy, but It would be despe-
rately lonely, and not only that but II
would put a man In position WhIch
ought to break a mans heart, II anything
wlll-the position Of knowing what ought
TO be done for the people OF the United
States and longing to do II, ana being
absolutely powerless TO accomplish II.
II cannot imagine anything that would
wear the heart OF man more than that'

Lives LOnU and Well

FASTENED away to appear at the main
event on his evenings programme, at
the Cooper Union mass meeting.
While waiting for the appearance OF ,
Hedges at the Cooper Union mass
meeting, at which great crowd began
to gather as early as 6:30 O'Clock, to
stand in the cold in long line for an
hour before the doors were opened, the
voters were addressed by former SEN
ator Chauncey NJ. De2ew. Senator
Elihu Root was to preside, but was abb
sent to attend Vice-President Sher-
mans funeral. Mr.. Depew paid a
touching tribute to the dead Vice.
Presidents memory that found re-
sponsive chord in the hearts Of the au-
dience.
Mr.. Depew also spoke OF Colonel
Roosevelt's boiling from the Republi-
can party, declaring that the only rea-
son was that Taft had received the
nomination.
After five minutes of tumult, in
which the audience which packed the
auditorium and two brass bands We'd
with each other in creating racket
Mr. Hedges succeeded in making him
! self heard
| His opening remarks were charac-
teristic and had drawn half a dozen
laughs from the audience when man
seated near the centre of the hall arose
and stated loudly that he would like
to ask few questions.
Many persons in the audience Missed
and admonished the ushers to throw
him out" Mr. Hedges, however. raised
! his hand and asked him to proceed.
Two Questions Answered.
THE first question IS, Don't you owe
| your nomination to Mr. Barnes? The
second, What will you do IL you find
an incompetent city official? VIII you
! do what Charles f. Hughes did, re-
move him, or, like Commissioner
Waldo and Mayor Gaynor in this city,
will you sit down and crack jokes
The temper Of the audience was
against questions, but Mr.. Hedges sig
nailed for silence and, stating that ne
was glad the questions had been asked
and were Of a nature that any one
might ask il they were seriously.
meant, replied to both.
~ owe my nomination to NOBODY
he declared, but to the majority OF the
delegates at the Republican conveh-
ton at Syracuse. and ! am as free
from personal obligation to any indi-
vidual as any man that walks The
earth"
In reply to the second question he
said. in part:
IF, when 1 become Governor, the
laws that l am charged with the en-
forcement Of are not being enforced
and human life in the City of New
York. for instance, is in jeopardy
will remove anybody charged with the
non-enforcement of those laws.
And answering you in the same
spirit of good faith that l assume you
asked the question, I want TO tell you
that there will be no single official act
| will perform for the purpose of Gre
ating an effect upon the public mind,
and nothing so serious that I will dodge
10 dodge the public mind"
Either these replies gave satisfaction
or the man deemed it unwise to press
the speaker further, for many In the
audience were expressing a desire TO
have him thrown out-and Mr.. Hedges,
concluded his address uninterrupted,

METHODIST BISHOP
VISITS BROWNSVILLE

49, HWHaEEEN 1890
Bishop James Atkins of Asheville,
N. c.. who is presiding over the
Texas Methodist conferences this
year, will arrive in this city tonight
from San Antonio, for a visit to
Brownsville Methodism. He will adj
dress the membership at the church
tomorrow morning friday at $50
O'Clock, and will confer with them
concerning the condition of the
church, their future prospects and
their needs. He will leave at 10
o'clock for points up the Valley.
thence he, goes to Beeville where he
will, preside over the fifty-fourth
annual session of the West Texas
Conference which onvenes in that
city on the 23rd instant.

3-That each voter who may not
be native born shall present to the
presiding judge his naturalization
certificate or some written evidence.
showing that he shall have complied
with our laws and may be entitled
to vote.
This is the most important as
under our present system all that is
required is that the intended voter
shall make oath that he had declared
his intention. My experience has
been that about half of those who
allege they have declared their in
tention to become American citizens
are so ignorant that they can not
distinguish between a bona ide
declaration and an oath of allegiance
to a Red or Blue club. AT all
events, every time one of those in
tended voters appears before a pre-
siding officer who after excruciating
efforts extracts from him some kind
of admission such as, Il took out my
papers after the big storm in the
house down near the post Office but
who a not give the name of the
officer before whom he appeared,
every man in the roo has a taste in
his mouth as though he had been
eating raw onions.
Will some one kindly explain
through these columns why such
slipshod methods were ever permitted
and why we must be inflicted with
them now.
Each voter must present his
poll tax. or a certified copy of one.
This is almost as important as
No. 8, and there is a monstrous lot
OF explaining necessary to convince
anyone that the present system was
intended for better government.
Frequently ar intended voter will
state that he left his ticket at home,
and when instructed to go and get
it, suddenly remembers that he has
lost it.
Each voter of Mexican origin,
claiming to have been born in the
United States should be required to
present some evidence to support his
claim. This would likewise prove
his age.
Now, let's look at these questions
in a simple honest, manner. Clean
politics can not be prjudicial to one
side more than another. And when
we get down to clean politics and
an honest ballot more than half of
the differences which have moved to
retard the progress of this naturally
great and fertile country will have
been settled. Nature has blessed
this Valley; Politics has cursed It.
