OFFICE VAINLY SEEKS MAN.
Unique Condition Of Affairs at
Nyack, N. Y.

NYACk, n. Y, March S.-The five high
est elective offices in this town are va
cant and no one can be found to accept
q nomination. Republican and demo-
cratic caucuses were held this week. each
nominating for president and trustees the
same men, all acceptable to both political
organizations and the voters generally.
The five nominees absolutely decline to
stand as candidates and the two commit
tees TO fill vacancies are unable to induce
anybody to accept the offices.
This unusual condition perhaps has
never happened before in this country.
The reason is that the previous acts OF
the board of trustees resulted unsatis-
factorily to many taxpayers and brought
criticism upon individual members.

ALLIANCE, Ohio, March S.-President
Taft started his three-day campaign
through Ohio and Illinois early today
with a long talk about political conditions
in Ohio with L. c. Laylin and William IL.
Miller, two of the Taft leaders. Mr. Lay
lin said that things were looking up in

Arrangements were made here to have
the Presidents train stop at a dozen sta
tions through Ohio during the day, and
he probably will make many rear-plat-
form speeches. At Salem the plants OF
the town shut down for fifteen minutes to
enable the workmen to see the President.
and great crowd of men, women and
children were awaiting the arrival OF the
train. The President had no opportunity
TO address the crowd. and as the train
pulled out he waved his hand ana bowed
TO crowd of schoolgirls carrying fags.
Speaks to $4,000 People.
The President made his first rear-plat-
form speech at Alliance to a crowd MEM
bers of his party estimated at 1900. He
preached prosperity, and said. in part:
prosperity is the first thing we all
should seek, because it means happiness
TO everybody. We may have prosperity
that is merely specious. We have our
mills running to the full. and yet there
may be something of corruption in So
ciety and in the violation of law through
trusts and combinations and discrimina-
,ions of railways that makes that pros
perity one that really does not help us in
the end.
But omitting that and assuming that
every body is obeying the laW-and we
are trying to make them obey the law
il is property and business that. We
should look to, and the agitation that
creates a lack of confidence in those
who have capital invested is not for the
good of the people.
Need Of Quiet and Confidence.
Therefore, what we want is as far as
we can, to haze the quiet confidence that
makes everybody look after his own busi-
ness and put as much money in it as he
can, and then jobs will be many, wages
will go up, we will all have money to buy
shoes for our children, and those Of us
that like comfort can enjoy 1t.
What I would press upon you, and
what I would press upon myself. IL the
necessity for inspiring confidence In our
government. when everybody has con-
fdence in every one else.
Unwise to Cultivate Hostility.
ct do not know whether we can carry
that to perfection. but it is wise that
we should not cultivate hostility be-
tween classes. between persons similarly
situated. but We should all have con-
fidence in each other. because we are
in the same boat. If we have pros
perity, then it is the poorest man that
gets the best out of it. When we don't

After meeting Capt Scott in the Bay Of
Whales on January 49, 1911, Capt. Amund-,
sen camped with nine men in longitude.

his subsequent movements.
Capt. Amundsen has settled his plans
to sail from Hobart within a week for
Buenos Aires. From that port he will go
round Cape Horn to San Francisco. and
then on to the Bering straits. Then he
will drift with the ice across the Arctic
ocean, and expects to emerge at some,
point between Greenland and Spitzen-.

changed his plans and proceeded with
new exploring and scientific work, thus
possibly delaying the return OF the Terra
