The Bic Issue.

Tariff will be the big issue in the
campaigns of Gov. Wilson, Col
Roosevelt and President Taft. 1t
will be a contest between tariff
for the people, championed by the
New Jersey candidate, and tariff
for the trust, nursed by the present
incumbent, and the third-term can
didate. President Taft has made no
secret of his feeling in the matter
Of tariff revision He is for a re-
vision that will amply protect those
who have so generously contributed
TO his campaign. The Bull Moosa
candidate, receiving support from
virtually the same source, talks

considered the Democratic party to

elect President Taft. Recalling to

HARDIE IS HERE TO BESPEAK SUPPORT FOR
 i,s.i. DEBS AND SEIDEL.

James Keir Hardie, the popular idol of the :1aboring men of England will Eagles hall on Madison avenue. Out side of Eugene V. Debs, there has perhaps never been another man in this city, whose coming was so large ly. looked for as Hardie's.
 There is one expression that all Socialist platforms constantly refer to as to the characteristics of the So- cialist party and that is. that the Socialist party is international in it's character. Hardie's presence no doubt is evidence to that end; for he the Socialist and labor movement of Great Britain came to this country purposely to aid Eugene V. Debs and Emil Seidel in their campaign.
 The Socialist candidate for gover- nor, Samuel B. Beardsley, will also speak at tonight's meeting. Beards- said that he hoped to make the brief est and at the same time the most effective speech of his career in Eagles hall this evening He will come to this city at the head of a. large delegation from his home town Shelton.
 James Poulski, the leader of the New Haven Socialist movement will in like manner be accompanied to this city by large pumber of so- by James Lozette and Dr. Edward Hinck1ey. a formerly well known Br1dgeporter. Naugatuck will prob ably be represented by it's Socialist public officials.
 Hardie notified the chairman of the reception comcfttee that he will leave Providence 2:1O D. m and will arrive in this city 5:30 p. m. He gave expression to his desire to meet as many as possible Of the labor union men of the city and state.
 Patrick J. Cooney, one of the best known Socialist orators of Conracti- cut and at present the prospective Socialist candidate for alderman from the Sixth district will preside. The meeting will begin promptly at eight o'clock.

AND IANGFORD ! MAY FIGHT FOR TITLE

If Joe Jeanette should score a. de- eided victory over Jack Johnson in their coming battle, the big Hoboken black would still have a. hard road to Travel before ne could show a title deed to the heavyweight crown. Just n year ago today Jeanette was out pointed by Sam Langford, the Boston rTar Baby in a ten round bout Tn New York, and in previous battles
 between the pair Jeanette has usually come off second best. It was on Christmas of 1905 that the Boston and Hoboken colored men first mingled, at Lawrence, Mass, and on this occasion Joe had the better of the argument. Dn April 5, 1906, Sam turned the Ma bles, winning the decision after f1f- 4een rounds of Scrapp1ng at Chelsea, Mass. Their next affair, early in 1907 on March 3, 1908, they fought an other draw of the same length at year they boxed six rounds in New York, with neither showing any de- cided advantage Two years ago. tomorrow, Langford showed himself the better man in a fifteen round bat file at Boston. Early last year they were matched again in Boston, and the local negro was again the victor tor today, they mingled in Madison Square Garden, Langford winning on
 points. Jeanette alleged that he was
 trained too fine. and believes that he
 could take Langford's measure m a
 finish fight Still another factor en-
 LeTS luLO lA1S OAcCh nope SltuddOH HI the person of one Samuel McVey, a California gent of color. On April 1, 1911. McVey held Langford to a draw in twenty rounds at Paris and on Dec. 26 last the Californian was giv-
 en the decision over Langford after twenty rounds of fighting. Langford
 complained bitterly that he was giv-
 en a raw deal and this allegation is
 borne out by some of the Americans who saw the fight. McVey and Jean sette first met in New York in 1907 boxing ten rounds to a draw. They fought twice in France in 1909 Mo Vey winning the first bout in twenty rounds and Jeanette taking the sec
 ond after forty-nine rounds of vicious fighting The third battle went thirty rounds to a draw. JohnsCn and Mo- Vey have fought three times, the champion winning all Jeanette and Johnson have fought five times. In
 1905 Jeanette won on foul in Phil adelphia, and the following year
 Johnson was the victor in a fifteen round bout in Baitim ore. In Novem- her, 1907, they fought a ten round
 draw in Portland, Me.

FRENCH ST. FOLKS REFUSE TO PAY FOR
 SURFACE SEWER

Property owners on French street don't take kindly to the idea Of pay ing assess4ne ent for the newly con. structed surface sewer and some Of them have signed a petition stating their refusal to meet the hnancial obNgatfons imposed upon them by the city. The petition came before the Common Council Tuesday night and was referred to the Board of Ap- praisaI of Benefits and Damages
 The petitioners state that they re- fuse to pay because the sewer is to take care of the surface water and that. it provides no benefit to them because its only function fs to carry off water which flows down Main street from the upper section of that territory and in no way relieves any land frontage on French street.
 Those who signed the petition are: G. l.. Bradshaw, James Bradshaw, May B. Bradshaw. Eliza beth Howe,
 Willis Gutter, Annie L. Walker, Susan A. Marsh, H. l.. B1ackman, L. R. BIackman, W Mathewson, M. G. cane, M. J Ford, and Mrs. Elizabeth SOuthey.
