VANDERBILT MAC BE R. R. MAN
Belief Gains Ground That He Will
Seek to Rehabilitate the Name
of FOrefather

New York, Feb. 2.-Wall Street be.
lieves that William X. Vanderbilt is
going to "come back" as railroad
man, and, as the head of the New York
Central lines, rehabilitate the name Of
Vanderbilt. This belief is reflected
in the strength of New York Central
stock.
1t is understood by his friends that a
short time before the death of Harri-
man he was put in possession af all the
Hartman plans for making the New
York Central the holding company of
the Hartman system. 1t is believed
now that he will attempt to carry these
plans into effect so far as changed con
ditions seem to make them advisable.
The idea of Vanderbilt again being
leader in the railroad world appeals TO
the Wall street imagination, and pro-
fessional traders are buying New York
Central stock freely. What is more i'm
portant than this is the report that
officials Of the New York Central are
also buying it.
For several years the New York
Central has run itself. Being favored
by nature in the matter Of grades and
ownership Of the Hudson river and
both its shores, with the best entrance
into New York, the road has been able
to hold its own.
Mr.. Vanderbilt has never worked SO
hard as in the last few months. Being
free from the jealousies that have dis
rupted railroad arrangements in the
past he can go ahead with the friend.
ship Of the Rockefellers, the Harri.
mans, the Morgans, and the entire fin.
ancial community.

STATE ACCoCIATIoN COUNCIL TO
PRESENT VIEWS THROUGH A
COMMITTEE-ENDORSE BETTER
FARMING.

Grand Forks, Feb. North Dakota
bankers represented by the executive
council Of the State Bankers associa
ton, in session here arc not favorable
to several features Of the Aldrich cur
rency bill, and will, through commit
tee which probably will be appointed
late this afternoon or evening, seek to
place in the hands of the Flickertail
members in congress reasons why they
do not look with kindly feelings upon
the provisions in question.
The sentiment was brought out at
the session of the council, held at the
Commercial club rooms and presided
over by W. G. Mcdowell! of Marion,
and at which practically all members
of the council were present.
No vote was taken on the question
this morning, but the several members
of the council set forth their views on
the proposition. The provisions of
the act which places North Dakota in
district apart from Minnesota is one
to which they do not take kindly, as
the the twin cities form the largest
financial center of the natural north
west, while Omaha would become the
largest financial center in the district
that it is proposed to place North Da-
kota. This would not necessarily mean
that the North Dakota banks would
do business with Omaha, but the ar
rangement would not be entirely salts
factory.
Another provision of the act is that
relative to the capitalization of banks
which may take advantage Of the ben
efts afforded. AS it stands the law
provides that the banks must have a
capital stock equal to that required
by the national banking law in the
organization Of new banks. Thus
banks of Grand Forks and Fargo, with
capitalization that is under the re.
quirement Of the national banking law
as affecting these cities today, would
be barred from participation. The
banks in these two cities were organ
lied number of years ago when the
population was not so great, and when
the capitalization did not have to be
as large as it does now.
The committee that.it is proposed to
appoint would thoroughly review the
measure at the earliest possible mo
ment and present its findings to the
North Dakota delegation.

mond Robins of Chicago, prominent
speaker in the movement, and the
Rev. William A. Prosser of Pittsburg,

remarks that did not meet with the

cialism. Rev. Mr.. Prosser interrupted
several times and Mr.. Robins used the
expression intellectual ass"
Both men FLASHED frequently at the
various meetings today and tonight
Rev. Prosser addressed letter to Mr..
Robins which in part reads:
"You said, among other things that
there were strange voices in the land
proclaiming that Jesus Christ had not
power to save the lost and the poor,
and that there was party In existence
that had program which was 81 per
cent Indictment, 3 per cent construc-
tion; that class consciousness was false;

tired and that economic determinism
was belly philosophy that shut Got
and all moral motives out Of considera-
ton.
y'At the close Of your address I ask
ed if the party you had reference to
was the Socialist party and you &C
knowledged it was"
Rev. Prosser asks Mr.. Robins to de-
bate the matter with him before the
eight days campaign of the movement
in Pittsburg comes to an end.

The other day the Italian ship Ninfa

le Point, 1876 days out from Astoria
Bar, without once having been report
ed To the nautical perception the sea
is full of such lonely craft battering
their way round the horn through a

idling in the doldrums to the irritation
Of their dispirited crews, who only find
partial consolation in the reflection that
every flap Of the main sail means half

q corresponding addition to their own
hard earned pay.
Within the experience of the deep
sea sailor such passage arc nothing un-
usual, particularly on the outward voy-
age to the Pacific, when Cape Horn
had to be weathered and its prevailing
westerly wind won through. On March
3, 1910, the four-masted bark Inverness
shire sailed from Hamburg bound for
Santa Rosalia in the Gulf of Califor-
mia. During passage which included
such incidents as her temporary aban-
donment by her crew in dread of her
laundering, she was forced to put into
the Falklands to refit and sailed again
on her interrupted voyage on September
81. From that time she was neither
seen nor heard Of until she arrived
safely at her destination on February
e, 1911, 538 days out from her original
port of departure.
The voyage Of the Invernesshire al.

headed off by the Progressive move
ment, but who really seem to have
profted by it, as their votes went
up from 4I8,758 four years ago to
673, 7S3 this year. Adding the Taft
vote, what would naturally have
been the total is7,3o4 562, as com
pared with 7 ,678, ,799 given Taft four
years ago, loss of 333,II4. The
combined Taft and Roosevelt vote
this year does not much exceed the
Republican votes of twelve years
ago.
This is not so surprising, how.
ever, under all the circumstances
as the falling off in the Democratic
vote in four years. There were
always certain Democrats who
could never be persuaded to vote
for Bryan, but in every one Of his
three campaigns Bryan polled
larger vote than was given Wilson
this year In view of the fact thai
much Republican support was
claimed for Wilson this will make
explanation rather difficult. That
there should be fewer votes this
year for a candidate who seemed to
have united the party than there
were for the candidate sixteen years
ago who divided it does not show
an encouraging party vitality and
progress.
Without taking account of the
Socialist and Prohibition vote,
Wilson is in a minority by more
than 100000. If the Republican
vote had been united he would have
been as badly beaten as Bryan was
in either of his campaigns. This
does not indicate that the country !
has given its confidence to the Demo
cratic party and its policies. That /
party gets into power by an uufortu-
nate division in the Republican
party. 1t has not the support Of
Of the people, and while it
las accidentally secured a controll
ng position it will be wise lift keeps
n mind the fact that it has not an
unlimited commission.

letail Of these completed figures.

PRESIDENTIAL Vote.

The feature of the completed

the several States. which is likely
to attract most attention is the
greatly reduced aggregate vote. In

short of that of 1908 by 562 422
The loss does not fall upon any
one party. All have suffered ex-
