DIX AND ANTI-DTX.

TT HE Democratic State situation in New York has begun to
Ii attract national attention. A candidate for governor is
to be nominated and Governor Dix, who has been assaned
by certain New York newspapers, asks for a denomination as a
v1ndlcaton of his administration. The State organization leaders
are understood to favor the denomination of Dix, while he is
opposed by Democrats who claim TO represent the wishes of
the presidential candidate. At Syracuse Yesterday Governor
Wilson fraternized with the organization leaders and addressed
the State committee, but took no stand in regard to the nomi
nation, Charles F. Murphy has never paid the slightest atten-
ton to the criticisms and attacks of newspapers in Manhattan.
and as far as these are concerned there is no obstacle to the
denomination of Dix. There would be if the mandate of the
presidential candidate should be interposed to prevent. But
evidently the matter was settled at Syracuse Yesterday. The
state organization will make the nomination.

SAY WILSON KNEW
OF N. Y. MEETING
Democrats Refute Reported
Statement That He Would
Have Stunned Syracuse.

SYRACUSE. Sept. 13.-Democrats
who had in charge the arrangements
for the visit to Syracuse yesterday of
Governor Woodrow Wilson took ex-
ception today to the nominees re-
ported statement that had he known
the Democratic State Committee and
the county chairmen were to have
met here on the day he was to visit
the State Fair he probably would not
have accepted the invitation, as he
wished to avoid participation in the
interstate politics.
Francis Herman, at whose home
his stay here, made public a letter to-
day from j. P. Tumulty, Governor
Wilson's s%ecretaryfi dater September
0, expressing regret that the nominee
could not remain in Syracuse last
evening to attend a dinner which had
been arranged by Mr.. Herman. This
letter says in part;
LAS Governor Wilson was leaving
Sea Girt last evening he requested
me to acknowledge receipt of your
letter of August 80. containing a very
generous invitation and to tell you
that according to the arrangement
made by the national committee it
will be necessary for him to leave
for New York as early in the aft
ernoon as possible after his meeting
with the State and county commit
teemen."
John A. Mason. secretary to Gov
erndf Dix and secretary of the State
committee, declared today hat there
had Deer no misunderstanding with
Governor Wilson.
After it was learned positively
that Governor Wilson was coming to
the fair he said: I'VE called a meet
ing of the State committee. 1t was
for the purpose of selecting the Pres
idential electors, but we all thought
that it would be a good thing to have
Governor Wilson meet the commit
teemien and say a word to them. |
wrote to Mr.. McAdoo and asked him
if this arrangement would be salts
factory, and he replied that it would
and that Governor Wilson would be
delighted to talk to the committee
men,"
Before Governor Dix left for Utica
today he was questioned as to his
conference yesterday with Governor
Wilson. Governor Dix said they dis
cussed the general situation, but that
he did not ask Governor Wilson's
support in his campaign for renom-
nation. The interview, he added,
was unsolicited on his part. ~
"If people will read the address that
Governor Wilson made yesterday at
the time he met with the county
chairman and State committee said
the governor, there will remain no
doubt in anybody's mind that he
made a friend of every person pres
ent, and the cordial reception given
him to which he alluded in his re-
marks, is an evidence of the esteem
in, which Governor Wilson is held by
the Democratic organization in this
State"
If Charles F. Murphy was at all put
out by Governor Wilson's attitude
toward him yesterday, he gave no in
dication of it today.
Il am here to see the fair" was all
Mr.. Murphy would say when asked If
he had any comment to make on
Governor Wilson's visit.

He Was a Close Buyer.

Former Senator Finn. al a luncheon
in Chicago, says The New York
Tribune, told a story about an able
campaign manager:
He is a remarkably economical

any man I know. They tell a story
about him, a story that shows what
a manager he is.

TYPHOID IN THE OYSTER.

ENENTEEN typhoid cases, one fatal, and eighty-three of
ID other maladies have been traced by a government expert
to oysters taken from Jamaica Bay and eaten at a ban
auet. Millions of gallons of sewage are discharged daily right
over these oyster beds. But where were the federal or New
York inspectors? The New Jersey State Board of Health has
steadily upheld the sale of "foated' oysters from the Maurice
river, in South Jersey, the water in which the oysters are thus
fattened being sewage laden, despite their condemnation by
government experts. 1t was long ago proven that for safeguard
ing the public against impure or poisonous foods no reliance
can be placed in State officials. They are too much in sympathy
with the yiolators of the pure food laws and have too little
regard for the public.

James Ford Rhodes was strong on
accuracy. He told this story:
II know an old-fashioned and aris-
tocratic banker who is inaccurate in
his pronunciation. He says '%obleeged'
for Obliged salary for celery

forth.
well, the banker invited his stem

lunch at his residence with his wife

turkey he called the guests attention
to the celery-or salary as he
called it.
What do you think of my salary,

500. 600. 900 IN "WALKING ADS"

cTTa HE time of year is at hand when every other man you meet,
TO say nothing of boys and women, wears a pin or button
showing where he stands in politics. 1t is easy to believe
the secretary of a national association of the makers of such
devices when he says that ~$2,00O,000 worth of campaign badges,
pins and buttons have been sold in the United States this year.
And yet this is only a small fraction of the immense business
IN walking ads" What with trade, social and other insignia
the same authority puts the annual expenditure for badges, pins
and buttons at $6000O,000. No other people on earth are so
fond of labelling themselves as Americans.

BRINGING ROAD OFFICIALS TO ACCOUNT

T has been shown in several cases in Pennsylvania how the
county courts can help road improvement by bringing de-
linquent officials up to their duty. In Schuylkill county the
court has ordered the prosecution of thirtythree councilmen and
two road supervisors for neglect of the roads. The postoffce
department also can help in road Improvement by suspending
rural free delivery until the roads are put into proper condi-
ton. This alone will have the effect to stir up the ~lethargic
