HILLES DERIDES WILSON
Cropping for Attractive Forms OF
Vote Getting, He Says.

Governor Wilson has been cropping, in
haZiness OF mind said Chairman Hilles,
Of the Republican National Committee,
yesterday, after something attractive TO
present to the American people to con-
vince them he should be elected Presi-
dent. He talks about a programme Of
social betterment' to be undertaken
when he is elected but as usual he is
careful to give no outline of what that
programme would contain.
"In the light of the Democratic pro-
gramme' for the last two years in rela-
ton 10 social betterment Doctor Wilson
certainly does not lack self assurance. II
was the Democratic majority in the
House of Representatives, that strangled
the railway employees compensation act
which President Taft had espoused vigor-
ously. The same Democracy defeated
of similar social betterment.' Republican
achievement against the persistent oppo-
sition of the Democrats in Congress
shines brightly in comparison with the
Democratic record.
chairman HiIies then went on to speak
OF the progressive steps taken by the
Republican party for the establishment
Of postal savings banks. the destruction
OF interstate white slave traffic, the
creation OF a bureau Of mines TO safe
guard the lives OF miners, the abolition
of peonage pTaetised in the Democratic
Southern States and many similar
mea suTes. ..F -
What does Doctor Wilson promise?"
asked Chairman Hilles. Nothing but the
word programme-an empty programme
without one single feature defined. Presi-
dent Taft is the consistent friend OF
social betterment' He never has misled
the people by holding out false promises
and he never viii. He does not make
promises for political effect His is a
record of practical performances.
Representative John j. Esch, of Wis
corsin. in a letter received AZ national
headduarters Yesterday, writes ~ feel
that Taft is going TO carry this state. ~
lie goes on 10 say that strong move
ment for Taft has set in. This Is par
Vicularly true among the farming
rlasses." he writes. and this movement
is due 10 the fact that they are. enjoying
a prosperity never known before, and
feel that a change OF administration. may
affect that prosperity, ! have not found
i'm my travels very much Roosevelt sem

TAFT DRAWS DEMOCRATS
Farmers Tell Him They Wanl
Prosperity to Go On.
From The Tribune Bureau. /

Washington, oct 30-President Taft Will
command a large vote from the farming
sections and will draw It largely from
the Democratic party, according TO re.
ports received at the White House to-day
from every section Of the country. The
Taft sentiment all through the farming
region in the North is growing By leaps
and bounds.
This is especially true OF Michigan.
where many Republicans who had en-.
listed in the RED Bandanna" camp are
returning to the party which has brought
them prosperity. Democrats write to the
President promising TO vote for him, the
majority of them giving as their resson
that they are satisfied with his admins.
tration and with the prosperous condl.
ton in which the country finds itself
during a Presidential campaign. They
say they are unwilling TO swap horses
In the middle OF the stream"
They also assert that the American
people love q square deal, that President
Taft has not been fairly treated, and
that he has not received the credit he
deserves for the progressive Legislation he
has secured-some of 1t from a reluctant
Democratic Congress. Party lines will
be broken in the election next Tuesday
and thousands of Democrats will vote for
him.
A man saying he is "a Democrat who
likes to see a square deal given 10
square man" has sent the President
clipping from q leading newspaper Of the
Middle West which is opposing the Pres.
dents reelection. This clipping is full
page illustrated advertisement calling at
tention to the widespread prosperity 0,
the country. It reads:
The furnace fires OF mill and forge and
factory are burning at white heat the
farms have yielded bumper crops, and
business enterprise is active eyerywhere
In order 10 take full advantage OF this
great prosperity, you business heads
should scrutinize your working force and
see that every man who signs the pay
roll IS a 1--we wire business builder. Turn
the searCnlight on your selling force. Put
your excuse slakers and your good ex-
planners on the creased tobOSgan and turn
their sample cases over 10 square-Jawed
fighters that you can get In touch with
through our want ad. columns.

went on. And II the Progressives liked
such conditions they must vote for straus
and SO help Sulzsr and Tammany into
office and turn the Legislature over 10
Tammany again. II not, let them all vote
for him. He pledged his word that II he
took Office he would do everything IN MS
power to restore the government to where
it was under Hughes and even to improve
on that standard.
Confession Of Political Faith.

faith follows:

Tea as the greatest evolution OF human
government ever had upon this mum
dane sphere. believe in her tradllohs'

a holy cause.
/ pledge you in all sincerity my sacred
word of honor that within the limits OF
my capacity and such strength In mlhu
rs l shall have given me from the Prov
idence Of God and l speak as a man

pie of this great state place me IN the

TAFT'S DAY HERE QUIET
Guest of Hilles at Luncheon and
Goes Motoring Later.

Apart from his official appearance yes
terday at the launching OF the New York.
President Taft spent a comparatively
quiet day. He took breakfast at the
Evening star., 1912-11-06

figuring and arguing. and when they
went into the dining room for breakfast
they sat at the table making diagrams on
the tablecloth, and some Of them were
SO infatuated that they forgot to eat.
They just sat there like lunatics, drawing
pictures of eleven rooms and trying to
get twelve guests into them.
"A few went about their business after
breakfast, but the majority sat around
the hotel. trying to get the twelve guests
in the eleven rooms. Now and then one
would go to the water cooler and pour
ice water on his head. and then return
to his hopeless task. This thing went on
for days. and the gentleman who occu-
pied the suite on the second floor finally
let out yell and began batting his head
against the wall. and 1t took four police
men to load him into a patrol wagon.
This wakened the rest of them out Of
their trance. and in a few days they
We're normal human beings again.
I'VE remain in this world only little
while. We come In the morning and
kick up our heels. and when night comes
we are gone. If We had any sense we'd
make every minute count. for when a
minutes gone it's gone for keeps. But
instead of making the most of our time
we fool 1t away trying to decide who
wrote Shakespeare's plays and where
Moses was when the light went out And
still we consider ourselves intelligent"
Evening star., 1912-11-06

he had a big business as lawyer and
notary public and hadn't time to fool
around writing plays for some cheap
theater But as / said in the beginning,
It makes no difference who wrote them.
We have the plays, just as we have
Beautiful Snow and Laugh and the
World Laughs With You, and We ought
to be satisfied with that.
Its strange that people will waste
time writing books on such subjects, but
they probably get a rakeon somehow
The fact that people will read such
books. when they might be doing some
thing useful, is what beats me. 1t seems
to me as though people just look around
for opportunities and excuses to fool
away time / remember one evening an
idiot came into this hotel with new
puzzle he had picked up somewhere. Most
of the guests were sitting around. as it
was a rainy night, and he explained his
puzzle to them.
He said that an innkeeper had eleven
rooms in his house, and he had to put
twelve guests into them. giving each a
separate room. The idiot took a piece Of
paper and drew a diagram showing how
it was done. and according to that dia-
gram the innkeeper really slowed away
his twelve guests in his eleven rooms.
Any sane man might know that such a,
thing couldn't be done, diagram or no
diagram. and would forget 1t as quickly
as possible.
But that doggone .puzze took such a
grip on all those people that they
wouldn't drop it. Every man got a sheet
of paper and a pencil and began figuring
and making diagrams. trying to elucidate
things. Most OF them sat up all night.
