TAFT'S JERSEY CAMPAIGN
COST COMMITTEE $751; 900
immense Amount of Literature
Sent Through Mail.

1t has cost the Republican State
committee about $685. 900 to conduct
the campaign in the interests of
President Taft in New Jersey.
This was announced at the Re-
publican headquarters today. Sub
scriptions amounting to $4,000 were
received by the State committee and
the most Of this fund was expended
for printing and postage.
An example of the extent to which
literature. printed in many languages,
was distributed is shown by the fact
that loo, TAI pamphlets were sent
through the mail in the first three
days of this week. Yesterday :, 1000
pieces OF mail were sent out.
In addition to the campaign of in
struction through the mails, the Re
publican cause has been pleaded
through the newspapers. Every
newspaper in the State having a
leaning toward President Taft has
been supplied with three columns of
matter every day, and the weekly
papers received a page Of plate mat
ter each week.
The SIS, 900 expended to date does
not represent the total of the cost
of conducting the Republican cam
paign in the State. Republican clubs,
the candidates and city and county
organizations have paid practically
their own expenses.

day night your leading representative
in Pennsylvania, Mr.. A. Mitchell
Palmer, stated that Mr.. Finn claimed
that the Penrose yarn about his Offer
ing Penrose 49, 900, 900 to, be made
United States senator was best re-
futed by the fact that the offer was
not accepted, but gave as his belief
that the true reason vas because the
Pennsylvania railroad was worth
more than that to Mr.. Penrose.' This
assumes that the Pennsylvania rail
road is more or less a malign infiu-
ence. Do you know what the rela-
ager, Mr.. McAdoo, and that railroad?
"(16) He has under his charge a
tunnel in New York and an enormous
office building which forms a great
terminus in that city for the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, and, incidentally, in a
much more inconvenient way, a termi-
nus for some of the other railroads.
Tickets on his II from New York
to Newark are sold by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. He appears to have
$50, 000, 900 worth of property under his
management, either as an exceedingly
important agent of that railroad or as
a very large partnerSin 1t. In case
you are elected t o the presidency. a
route from that railroad to the White
House through your manager would
naturally be like the route to McKin-
ley through Mark Hanna. Can you
see any unfairness in the public's ask
ing the question as to how much
value the Pennsylvania railroad is to
woodrow Wilson?
"Q7) AS candidate for governor of
New Jersey, you were in favor of
abolishing the de~ath-dealing grade
crossings. A bill for that urpos was
passed, and you vetoed it, saving.
temporarily at least, m sums
to the Pennsylvania railroad. You
also vetoed a bill authorizing a tunnel
under the Delaware river from Phila-
delphia to Camden, which would have
cut into the income of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad ferryboats. Folded in
the bill for the grade crossings you
returned with your veto a letter from
the chief counsel of the Central Rail-
road of New Jersey asking you to
veto it. Under these conditions, is it
unfair to ask what is the value of
Woodrow Wilson to the Pennsylvania
railroad?
"QS) Public sentiment in North
Carolina is in favor of child labor
because the poor whites of the noun
tains are much better off with the
whole family working in a cotton mill
than they are living as they do in
mountain shacks in abject poverty.
Massachusetts has a child labor law.
With State rights, which you up
hold, how are you going to put the
Massachusetts manufacturer on a
fair basis with the manufacturers of
North Carolina?
"09) The doctrine Of State rights
was invoked to permit slavery of the
blacks. Applied to North Carolina
row., does it not result in slavery of
the whites?

for President you said there was al

BOARD Of WORKS
BOOKS MUDDLED"
0illen and B~iertuempfel, DEM
ocratic Candidates, Tell of
Republican Management.

Charging that the books of tn.
Board of Works were in a muddlet
shape and that the conditions of this
board were far worse than the public
realized, Charles P. Gillen and Alder

cratic candidates for Board of Works

thousands of voters at various meet.
ings throughout the city.
MIR. Gillen did not mince his words
and went into the matter in a thor
ough manner.
1.-THE conditions in the Board OF
Street and Water Commissioners" he
said, "is far worse than we realize.
This board has been under the control
Of the Republican party for about
fourteen years. There is a political
ring there more cunning than any po-
litical ring we have ever had in any
part of this State. Things are done
in an underhanded way. The peoples
money is squandered down there.
Impossible to Audit Accounts"
"a few months ago an examination
Of all city accounts was ordered by
the Common Council and Price, Wa
terhouse & Co., expert accountants,
were hired to do the work. They
found the accounts of every depart
ment, except the Board Of Street
and Water Commissioners depart
ment, all right and easy to audit.
When they examined the Board OF
Works books they reported back to
the finance committee of the Council
that it was impossible to audit the
accounts in that department without
making a thorough investigation
which would take them back over the
books for twenty years. The city
auditor could not audit the accounts
Of the board and the experts could
not audit the accounts either with
out going into exhaustive research
for the past twenty years. These
experts have been working for weeks
on the books and still they are NOT
ready to report. Can you imagine
such a condition Of affairs to exist
in this city.
"What Is the Reason for it,"
rs 1t not strange that the accounts
of the board should be so muddled
up. WAdL ID Tie I6dSOu LOT IL. IL
you owned a large business and you
found that the accounts were in such
a tangled condition hat you could
not figure out your financial stand
ing would you not Immediately re-
organize your office force? And
would you not feel alarmed over such
a condition of affairs? The entire
department of the Board of Street
and Water Commissioners must be
reorganized at once.
1.-THE commissioners must be the
executive head of the board. 1t is a
fact that one employee of
the board at the present time is prac-
tically the executive and engineering
head. This is a mistake. II Alderman
Biertuempfel and I should be elected
to the board we will not delegate our
powers to any employee of the board
no matter how able or valuable. that
may be. We, as the Democratic |
candidates promise the people of
Newark that If they send us to the
Board of Works we will devote to the
transaction of its business every hour
time necessary for the proper ac-
complishment Of its duties"

THE SHERMAN OBSEOUYES.

cTTa HE funeral of VicePreident Sherman at Utica this after
noon makes a solemn pause near the close of a fierce
political campaign in which he was a prominent figure
as one of the principal candidates. All due honors have been
naid TO the man who accepted the second highest Office of the
nation and who stood in line to succeed the President if he had
died in office. The nation has never been wanting in respect
for its presidents and vice presidents. However much the
American citizen may differ from a president in matters of
national policy and however embittered our national politics
may be, the presidential Office commands his homage. Mr..
Sherman was not a man of the calibre of Carrot A. Hobart,
who as Vice-President was the strong man of the first Nc
Kinley administration, and he did not exercise that powerful
influence on the policies of the government that Hobart did.
But he was a genial personality, he well preserved the dignity
IF his office and the nation today was a mourner at his bier.

TURKEY A COMPLETE BANKRUPT.

eTa URKEY'S financial credit has never been good, and the
loans she has obtained were at the highest rates. The
outcome of the war sends Turkish credit down to zero.
She is heavily mortgaged to Russia for unpaid millions, had a
bonded debt in 1910 of $527, 9S3,636, and pays annually about
Ss7O00OO of fixed charges. There is an annual deficit of about
$25y000, 900. Stripped of her most valuable assets by the
present war and impoverished by this war and the war with
Italy. Turkey is a hopeless bankrupt. All the sultans horses
and all the sultan's men can never put Turkey on her financial
legs again. She has no ~unpledged security to give for a loan,
snd there is a serious question of her continued existence as a
national unit. The talk of the probability of Turkey getting a
loan at 5 per cent. of $780, 900 from j. P. Morgan & Co. is,
therefore. all moonsbine.

TURKEYS PLENTY; MAY BE CHEAPER.

NAV 18th the Thanksgiving Day less than four weeks off it is
WY satisfactory to be told that turkeys all over the coun-
try are being raised in unusually large numbers, and
with plenty of grain for fattening they promise to be of prime
quality. 1t would be still more gratifying if the American
householder could be assured that his Thanksgiving dinner will
cost less than in recent years, but the price Of turkeys is some.
thing that no one can predict many days ahead. The weather
always has a good deal to do with it. A warm spell lust be-
fore Thanksgiving will bring the figures down with a rush and
"A cold snap will have the opposite effect. We know by expert.
ence with other food products that abundant supply does not
necessarily benefit the consumers pocketbook.

THE BULL MOOSE SENTIMENT.

6o WO enormous gatherings within fortyeight hours in the
Madison Square Garden, sandwiched in between with a
great Tammany demonstration in the same hall, char
acterized the Bull Moose campaigns last week in a city looked
upon by Progressives in other States as "the enemys country"
With many thousands of people turned away from the Garden
the meeting last night was almost a repetition of the previous
one. The sentiment first observed in Orchestra Hall, in Chicago,
ii June, and again in the national convention that ushered the
new party into existence and subsequently in the New York
state convention, in the State convention at Asbury Park and in
many other gatherings was strongly in evidence in the two great
gatherings this week. How much in evidence will it be on

To the Editor of the Evening Star
Sir-Having noticed In last We
ning's Star OF the search Of the police
for the motorman of the car which
struck the 4-year-old boy at Elliott
street last Tuesday night, I feel led
to say it would seem better if their
energies were directed toward the
awful a1recklessness of automobile
drivers who tear through u streets
in such utter disregard Of the rights
or safety of others.
The trolley ears do not leave the
tracks to run down people; the motor
man has to make his time, and it is
very probable the one in charge Of
the Broad street car on Tuesday night
did not see the child at all or even
know that he had struck him.
As a daily passenger 1 have seen
much carelessness in this way. Chill
dren will cross the track SO close
that it is impossible for the motor
mar to stop, and I cannot understand
the fashion of arresting them when
these things happen through no fault
Of theirs.
] bespeak a reasonable considera-
ton for these men whose lives are
daily and hourly imperiIed in our
service. L.. z. H.

A PLAIN AND UNpRETEND1NG MAYOR.

NTT AYOR HAUSSLING'S canvass of the city during the
AVlA campaign has been remarkable alike for the size of the
audiences that greeted him and the fervency of his re-
reption. A plain man of the people, whose latchstring is always
outside the door and who, while jeaously preserving the dignity
Of his Office, has always lived and acted in the true democratic
way as a citizen, could not help but win and hold the goodwill
and confidence of the average man in the community. In all
Of his previous elections Mayor Haussling commanded the SUD
port of a large number of Republican voters. A still larger
number will give him their votes next Tuesday.

THE PREpOSTERoUs BALLOT.

L is enough to say that the ballot to be voted next Tuesday

The day of the vestpocket ballot is over. The blanket ballot
evidently has come to stay. But it cannot stay in it's present
clumsy shape. For Newark the enactment of the proposed new
charter will serve to reduce the number of candidates.. and

herself yesterday at Joliet. She had.

She went to Joliet from her home

She left a call for 8 o'clock, and

went to her room. AS he approached
the door he heard a revolver report.
