Chairman PaImer's Statement
Regarded as Campaign Trick:

Asserted That the Third Term Party
Movement Is Growing Rapidly
in New York State.
TACTICS WIN IN THE WEST
BY N. o. MESSENGER.

NEW YORK, October 24.-Chairman
Palmer Of the democratic state commit
tee tried to start republican panic last
night by the statement which he issued
asserting that the third term party move
ment was growing SO rapidly in this
state the democrats would have to change
the plan OF their campaign and train all
their heavy guns on the progressives. The
statement was widely quoted and was
the subject Of conversation In the hotel
lobbies where politicians gathered.
AT republican national headquarters II
was charged that the purpose Of Mr.
Palmer was only too plain, being, in fact,
to frighten into the Wilson camp such
republicans as might, in their utter hos
tility to Roosevelt. prefer to vote for viii.
SON. 1t is we'll known at republican
headquarters that efforts are being made
in all states by the democrats to bring
the old line republicans over to Wilson
by magnifying the importance Of the
progressive movement and inviting them
to thus make sure Of destroying Roose-
velt
1t Is asserted that Wilson will carry
two states. California and South Dakota,
through this very state Of affairs.
The republicans refuse to get into a
panic in New York state They believe
that it is a fair fight between Sulzer and
Hedges for the governorship. They all
| think President Taft has fighting
chance to win in this state.
Loud cries for campaign contributions
arise from all three parties. The demo-
Gratis are more clamorous than the others
because they have an organization many
times more elaborate and their needs are
greater. The disclosures before the CIapp

ping in. From now until the end of the
campaign the republicans will pound Will
son on the tariff question. They have been
unable to force him into a definite state
to the tariff. Chairman Hilles in an
open letter to Gov. Wilson makes it
clear that pressure will oe applied to the
governor until he comes out In the open
or is held up as deliberately evading the
issue.

WHITE HOUSE GETS BATH
Members of Fire Department
Wash Building for First
Time in Years.

Hundreds of people passing the White
House this morning thought that a fire
was raging in or around the building. A
fire engine and firemen were engaged in
throwing water upon the structure But
it was only wash day for the famous old
building, the first washing it has received
since the days Of the last Cleveland ad-
ministration.
Some of the policemen in the grounds
said it was a democratic omen. It was
at least democratic. During the last
Cleveland administration. when q demo-
cratic Congress was trying to economize,
it made no appropriation for paint, and
the District fire department was asked,
about once a year. to wash of the dirt
and dust covering the beautiful white
paint The present democratic Congress
also failed to provide money for the an
nual scraping and painting and the local
fremen were again asked to put the
building in neat shape for the return Of
President and Mrs. Taft.
Capt. O'Connor of No. / engine, with
eight men, 1000 feet Of hose and old
No engine, went to the White House
at o'clock this morning and began op-
erations They poured thousands Of gal
Ions of water all over the front and
sides of the building and then went to
the rear, repeating the work there. The
building looked clean and attractive when
the work was finished.

KNOX TELLS RESULTS
OF DOLLAR DIPLOMACY
Some Achievements of the Ad-
ministration Cited by Sec
retary of State.

A modest account Of some of the great
achievements of the present administra-
ton in the advancement of the material
interests of the United States in various
parts of the world is given by Secretary
Knox in an authorized interview.
"a few accomplishments of the State
Department which might be mentioned -
said Mr.. Knox in a general summary,
ARE improvement of the international
parcels post service, encouragement of
establishment Of direct steamship con-
nection with important foreign markets.
regarding improved protection of Amer
ican trade marks, notifications of foreign
consular regulations oppressive to Amer
lean foreign trade. etc.
american financial houses have enter
ed the South and General American field.
and the administration has sought to CO.
ordinate its national policy with its COM
mercial diplomacy, to the end not only
that American trade shall be extended,
brought to those Of the sister republics
that are in domestic difficulties.
Hands Off in Mexico.
For more than two years Mexico has
been the scene Of revolution and disor-
der, imposing severe strain at times
upon good relations between the two
countries. The pressure for Intervention
has been great. Temporary political ad-
vantage might have been won during
the present campaign by a more spec
tacular attitude toward the Mexican sit
uation, but the President has, with un-
sWervin& determination, set his face
against anything smacking Of utilizing
our foreign policy in domestic cam
paign.
THE United States has demonstrated
regard of the people Of that vast nation.
Striving for World Peace.
In the field of striving for world peace
President Tafts name must be written
very high. With the courage of his con-
victions. he publicly pledged himself to a
willingness to go farther toward submit
ting international questions to arbitration
than any other nation had previously
been willing to go. The result was the
arbitration treaties with, Great Britain
and France, eliminating exceptions OF
certain questions which had always ap-
peared In our previous treaties. Unfortu-
nately, those great treaties were opposed
by all but the regular republicans In the
American Senate, and We're consequently
lost.
"In the sphere of practical peace meas
ures during President Taft's administra-
ton. the influence of this government has
actually prevented or stopped three or
four wars. to say nothing of the benign
influence of dollar diplomacy as ex-
pressed in the Nicaragua and Honduras
conventions. These conventions. unfortu-
nateIy, met much the same opposition as
the great arbitration treaties, and they
remain unacted upon. One result has been
the recently bloody warfare in Nicaragua.
which the influence of the Uni,ed States
has happily now been able to bring to a
close"
