WILSON ANXIOUS
TO END CAMPAIGN
Will Not Discuss Progressive
News of
Rooseyelt's Condition.

WILMINGTON, Del, Oct. 17.-Gov-
ernor Wilson arrived here today 10
begin what may be his last speaking
tour of the campaign. He will make
addresses IN this State, West Vir-
ginia and Pennsylvania, and will
bring his trip to an end in New
York city Saturday night.
So reluctant is the Governor to
continue his campaign now that
Colonel Roosevelt is unable to APP
pear in public that he made a strong
endeayor to cancel the engagements
of the present trip. This IA i'm
possible, however. as his managers
pointed out, so the Governor started
out under protest.
Wilson has not yet made up his
mind on what subjects he will speak
during his tour. He feels that a dis
cussion Of the Progressive party pro-
gram is impossible with the Bull
Moose candidate wounded, and in all
probability will confine himself to
general or purely local issues. He
made it plain to his managers when
they insisted on him making his tour
that he will make as few speeches as
possible. He will speak in this city
tonight, go to West Virginia tomor-
row, speak at Pittsburgh tomorrow
night and leave Immediately after for
New York.
The Governor is showing an intense
interest in the condition of Colonel
Roosevelt, and has given orders that
every bulletin from Chicago be i'm
mediately brought to him.

q challenge to J. Thompson Baker, of

Gratis and Bull Moosers are trying to
convince the farmer that he is being
wronged because it is possible to buy
a suit of clothes cheaper Ia London

due to the tariff on wool. AS a mat

months. The Albanian mountaineers in the service of Turkey
will be fully equal to the rigors of the climate and match the
Montenegrins in courage and endurance, but Turkeys Asatc
troops and those drawn from Asia Minor and the vicinity of
Constantinople are not Injured to such work as will be demanded
in mountain warfare in severe winter weather. The successes
achieved by the small Montenegrin army, which has taken strong.
~ fortified positions masking Scutari, seem to reveal a weak
ness in the Turkish army, which may be the deciding factor in
the war. Greece, which stands ready to attack, is isolated and
her position is compromised by the Turko1talian peace, which
releases the Turkish navy. Greece may now invoke the shades
of her memories of her great past to put the heroic spirit into
her battalions. She will need all the inspiration those memories
can bring to her in the coming hour of trial.

How the Campaign Progresses
Progressive Democratic Republican
SAYS PROSPERITY
IS WITH TAFT
Chairman HiIIes Points to Pres
emf Administration as Re-
sponsibIe for Good Times.

NEW YORK. Oct. 17.-Charles d
Hilles, chairman of the Republican
National Committee. has issued a
statement in which he declares that
the country vas never so prosperous
as it is at the present time. Every
branch of business, he says. is in a
healthy, flourishing condition. Mills
are running full blast, there is en-
ployment for every one, and an
abundance of money is in circulation.
Employers are looking foi more men
to hire, and everyone is seeking the
cause of this prosperity.
Mr.. Hilles's reply to the questions
regarding the reasons for prosperity
is as follows.
There is only one answer, so far
as the political aspect of the situa-
ton is concerned-Presioent Taft's
stability; his refusal to bend to every
passing breeze of opportunism; his
squarely planted attituoe on the
American protective tariff system and
the constitution. Had the President
accepted the hodge-podge of tariff
Legislation passed in Congress, by a
coalition of Democratic fr~ee-traders
and third-term opportunIsts, where
would be the present business pros
perity of the United States?
do business men, employers and
employee alike. wish to have their
interests experimental with, or in
terfered with, while either Democrats
or third-termers carry out their pro-
gram of cure-all for 'fancied, not
real, wrongs?
mo nation in the worlds history
has shown such marvellous develop
ment as that enjoyed by the United
States under the constructive policies
of the Republican party. Why change
this record to chase a will-o'-the-
wisp?"

III LABoPER WORTHY OF HIS HIRE.

MI AYOR HAuSSLING spoke the truth in an address last
@UV]( night when he said that the city of Newark, which has
a conscience and sentiment of humanity, does not want
IT'S laborers paid a starvation wage simply because they can't
help themselves. a local board that keeps the Iaborer's wage
down to a figure that does not permit even a single man, not
TO speak of n family, TO pay for the bare necessares of life,
violates the spirit and misrepresents the humanity of Newark.
When the same board constantly boosts salaries the ohense is
the more aggravated. 1t should not be necessary TO apply the
minimum wage TO hborers employed by a city, but it may be
necessary in order to protect the laborer from the inhumanity
of EMPLOYING public boards.

Labor Has No Better Friend.
Lawrence McCabe, candidate for
the Assembly, criticised the action Of
a delegate from the Typographical
Union in introducing at the last ses-
sion of the Essex Trades Council a
resolution to. indorse John B. Wool
ston for county clerk. He said that
organized labor had no better friend
than Joseph McDonough, the Demo-
cratic candidate for that office. As
town clerk of West Orange he had
never placed a printing order except
in union shops and that it vas due
to him that the eight-hour strike had
been settled in West Orange, when
the printers gained their point.
He said that Mi. McDonough had
held a union card since he worked as
journeyman halter. Mr.. Mccabe
called attention to the fact that all
the printing used by Louis v. Aron-
son was marked paid for by George
w. Jagle," who was, he said, an Of
ficer of the Newark branch of the
American Manufacturers Associa-
ton, the organization that had so vir-
ulently pursued the labor unions and
whose late head, James Van .Cleave,
was almost n sworn enemy of labor
union men. With Jagle, the ally OF
the Van Cleaves. as the financial
manager of Aronson, what could la
Dor men expect of him If he were

meetings were Simon l.. Fisch, John

THE BECKER CASE BEATS THE RECORD.

cTo HE completion of the case for the prosecution in the Becker
trial in New York marks a judicial performance almost
unexampled in criminal trials in the metropolis. The
Rocker trial is one of the most important that New York Grim
inal justice has had to deal with, and ordinarily the court would
still be engaged in getting a jury, il, indeed, the counsel for the
defense had permitted the trial to reach the point of jury selec-
tion. BY keeping a firm hand ON the counsel in the case Justice
Golf has expedited the proceedings and made q record. In the
cases of the meat trust barons at Chicago it took nine years
to reach the point of Jury selection, and then the trust had made
away with much of the discriminating evidence. If there shall
be a verdict of guilty in the Becker case an appeal will be taken
TO the higher courts. The wellknOwn custom of these courts
TO go to sleep on appeals may proong the case for a couple of
years, but probably even the appellate judges are close enough
in contact with daily affairs to see the necessity of an early
dpcision

CIVIL SERVICE AND POLITICS.

cTa HE civil service law, which assures classes of public EN-,
ployees in their positions during good behavior, does not
interfere with their ordinary rights as citizens, but it
does obIigate them TO attend to their duties and forbids them
from devoting the time which they owe TO those duties TO
partisan politics. Those public employees who are protected by
the civil service law from removal are therefore subject TO sum-
mary removal by violations of the spirit of the law. Naturally,
n new administration coming in will investigate cases of viola
ton and procure dismissals from office. 1t is well that civil
service protected officials should keep their obligations to the
law in mind during the election campaign. They are paid to
give their whole time TO their duties, during working hours, and
If they steal the time for political work they do it at their own

NOT A SOCIALIST.

O. GHRANk, the assanant of Theodore Roosevelt, has not
been identified with the Socialists and never professed
their principles. The Socialists are now a political party
Az the United States and are as distinct from the anarchists as
Republicans are from Democrats, and more so. In Germany
Socialism embraces about four million voters and has brilliant
parliamentary leaders. In the comments by reactionary news
papers on the crime of Schrank the charge was made. or implied,
that Schrank was a Socialist and that the crime was Socialistic.
This was sheer falsehood and libel. but il helped to serve the
purpose of divertng attention from the real inspiration for the

people will not buy it and the dealers have found it spelling ON

ing federal and not State officers, the
nominations were not made as pre-.
scribed.
The petition is based mainly on
the contention that the statutes fail
to mention presidential electors in
prescribing processes of nomination,
so that any customary method adopt
ed by the central committee becomes
valid.
