G. A. R. MEN ARE FOR TAFT
Veterans Declare Intention to
Stand by the Colors.

Evidence IS coming TO the managers OF
the Taft campaign every day that the
war veterans are taking an active part
In the work for the reelection Of Presi-
dent Taft.
One prominent veteran, who stumped
New Jersey for Lincoln in 1850. wrote to
the President recently:
I'VE wish to see justice done to you
for what you have done for the veterans"
He declared that the veterans did not
want a Southern born man to have II in
his power TO badger US about our PEN
sions, as Grover Cleveland did"
Another veteran, writing from Ohio, de-
clared:
ohio will give President Taft its cleo
toral vote. We old soldiers know that.
This state will also gain seven or eight
Republican members Of Congress. The
Bull Moose agitation has a broken back,
and Ohio's industries want no experiment
with DR.. Wilson's free trade"
1T is especially gratifying to have be-
hind you in a national campaign" said
Chairman Hilles of the Republican Ma
tional Committee yesterday, "the old
Boys in Blue the remnant OF that great
army which laid down its arms when the
immortal Grant said: Let us have
peace
In the name OF tho President, I wish
TO thank them for their support, and to
assure them that. with the reelection Of
President Taft, the nation will be safely
guarded. and that II can then DO said
with the greatest significance: The gov
eminent at Washington still lives"

but that conditions were improving every

1t Is not as easy to get a line on the
vote mere as II is In the rural districts
OF IN the small Cities" said Samuel g.
Koenig. speaking for New York County
we have large shifting population, and
II is hard for the leaders to keep in touch
with their voters. The reports we have
received so far show that President Taft
Is infinitely stronger in New York County
to-day than he was two months ago
There Is considerable Straus sentiment
In certain districts, but we believe that
not little OF II is among Democrats, and
VIII draw votes from Sulzer. We find
Roosevelt and Straus sentiment In the dis
tricts where Hearst was strong when he
ran, In 1906 and 1909.
IL you people upstate turn out a fair
Republican plurality-not necessarily up
to some OF those OF former years-there
Is no question that the state win be car
ried for Taft and Hedges"
After the meeting Ex-Governor OdeIl
said he had meant every word he said to
the committee. Things are looking fine
to me-" he declared. MY word is that
Taft and Hedges Will get a majority In
this state. II the men in the cities will
only stop talking In a disCouraging way
and go out to win we will have a great
victory"

Calculations based on figures that have

Neither State Chairman Barnes nor anv
one else at headquarters would state last
night what the tabulations showed, as
they mad not been completed. That work
VIII be done to-day, and the result will

The indications are that Mr.. Hedges
Will run slightly stronger than President
Tart. It is understood, and the figures
show that the Progressive sentiment up
state is not so strong as many persons
have imagined
Members Of the state committee, which
held special meeting at headquarters. in

Personal Reports Encouraging.

THE reports from members OF the state
committee attending the meeting from the
interior OF the state were highly encour-
aging for Taft and Hedges" said Chair
man Barnes, after the meeting. THE re-
ports and canvasses are practically all
in. They will be tabuated tonight and
the result will be given out for publica-
ton Monday morning"
The meeting. which was held in execu-
tive session, lasted for two and a half
hours. Chairman Barnes led of by CIV
ing the indications Of the canvass that
was being tabulated. He told the COM
mitteemen that the Republican campaign
was going strong and what was necessary
now was TO see not only that the present
rate Of speed was maintained, but that It
was increased. What they wanted to put
into the last two weeks OF tho campaign
was a punch, he declared.
The chairman was followed by other
members of the committee, the older mem
bers first. The opinion OF most was that
Colonel Roosevelt would run third in their
districts. In the cities Straus might do
better than Roosevelt, while in the coun-
try districts II would probably be the
other way around.
Speaking for Onondaga County, Francis
Hendricks. of Syracuse said that condi-
tions were much better there now than
they were two years ago. At that time
Stimson got a majority Of about 5000 In
Onondaga- There was some Progressive
sentiment, however, in the county, the
veteran leader was willing 70 acknowledge
For some years there had been more or
less progressive sentiment in the Repub-
lican organization, and the fact that the
Progressive convention was held in SYRIA
cuse had given an impetus to the move
ment there At that ne expected that tho
Republican majority would be bigger than
two years ago.
George w. Aldridge, OF Monroe, said he
had noticed the tide setting toward tho
Republican ticket most strongly In the
last two weeks. He was glad to find the
other members of the committee had dis
covered the same drift In their districts.
"T shall be very much surprised" said
former Governor Odell. IF the Republi-
cans do not carry every county in my
Congress district by substantial majori-
ties"
The counties in his district are Orange
Dutcbess and Putnam. Coming from a
past master at the game OF siziup up po-
litical conditions and sentiment this dec

SNAKE STORY
The First OF The Season
Comes From MartinSburg
Two Men Kill 10 Blue Racers
On Sunday

Martinsburg, o., April While
strollng through q woods owned by
Foster Dodd, just north of this place,
Sunday afternoon, Frederick Shrontz
and Alphrey Dudgeon found and killed
nineteen Blue Racer snakes varying
in length from two and one half feet
to five feet. Mr.. Shrontz shot all of
them with a revolver, using not more
than two cartridges on any of the rep
tiles. This is rather an unusual feat.
The two young men were walking
through the woods when the first
snake was discovered crawling slug
gishly and appeared to be in a sort OF
stupor Presently several others We're
found and all seemed to he somewhat
dazed. fastening to his home MIR,
Shrontz secured revolver and a
goodly supply of ammunition and re-
turned to the woods where the slaugh-
ter of Blue Racers was begun. After
rather extended search nineteen
were found, all being Immediately des'
patched. Only one snake showed
fight. but it did no damage.
