and It was declared that political
workers who would like to see Mr..
Hearst at the head OF the ticket had
been endeavoring to get In touch with
the national and State leaders and
advance his candidacy.
"They were ready to show that Mr..
Hearst was not Objectionable to
Charles F. Murphy, and was a pro-
gressive of progressives. He was
supporting Governor Wilson through
his newspapers, II was declared, and
ought to be acceptable to members
OF the national committee.
Then RS nomination, II was point
ed out. would prove a sore blow to the
hopes of tn" r'll moose, headed by

THE "ETTOR STRIKE" WRONG.

The strike in the Lawrence mills over Etor and
Giovannt is great mistake. 1t is wrongly based
and badly carried out. If it should lead to violence
and injury it would rank the most disastrous yet
in the mill troubles of this year.
The only delay in Ettors case has been due to
his own counsel. The plea for delay granted in
order that the might be fully prepared. The
is now called for Monday and will proceed in
due course 1t is full fair jury trial, and to such
jury trials every American looks today confidently
a basis for justice. Nothing would be worse for the
country a whole than any endeavor to bully or
threaten jury. 1t entirely confuses private en-
ployment with public policy and will do more harm
than good to the workers.
The charge that Etor and his companion have
been wronged is just as much before the court as
the charge that they have had part in killing a
bystander in the riots. And public opinion which
has been with the strikers, will be forfeited entirely
by outbreak of lawlessness aimed at the court.

IRISH .COVENANTERS.

The Liberals continue on the eve of its reintro-
ducton in parliament, to be sanguine of the passage
of the home rule BILL in spite of bitter resistance
among Irish Unonists in Ulster which mas eliminated
in the signing Of the covenant at Belfast.
BY this instrument the Orangemen throughout
Ireland, with misplaced though stirring fervor like
that of the old Scotch Covenanters, are sworn to
oppose the enforcement of home rule to the extent
Of disregardng the laws of the Irish parliament and
refusing payment of taxes.
And yet, as defined in this much amended bill,
home rule is not a blow at imperial union. 1t is
rather a of justice, long withheld from Ire
land, by which stronger loyalty may now be won.
1t is the tardy acknowledgment of in its in
gradients older than the Tudor peerages, antedatng
Elizabeth and founded upon the differences Of
Celt and Saxon Its adoption now would be politi-
cally wise and certain it not for the religious
differences which intensity the bitterness of the
political division.
Just here lies the injustice Of the Ulster protest
For although the bill will give Catholic majority in
the Irish legislature representing appropriately the
preponderant Catholic population of Ireland it con-
tains safeguards to prevent any tampering with re-
ligion and the anatcal opposition of the Irish Union
lists really represents survival of religious bigory
which the rest of the English-speakng world has
long since outgrown.

THE TOLL OF THE AEROPLANES.

The shocking deaths of three American aviators
yesterday adds to the long list of men who have
given their lives to the cause of aerial travel In
the cases of Officers Rockwell and Scott there would
seem to have been a weakness in the machine they
were using In the case of Longstaff the fall hap
pened while he was giving exhibition of aerial
diving. There is too great tendency the part Of
the public to demand the spectacular from the air
men. This may be risked by those who are flying
for commercial gain, but it should be absolutely for
hidden by the authorities in tine cases of men in
charge of Government machines They should be
restrained by strict rules from trying fancy and dan
gerous experiments which be of no value in the
serious solution of aerial problems The elimination
Of foohardiness and the strict inspection Of machines

GOVERNOR WILSON

sEAGIRT. N. j., Sept 29.-Prepara-

clares will be his last Western trip
before election, Governor Wilson
spent the day resting, a greater por-

ROOSEVELT ALWAYS
WAS NICE TO MOOSE
Back in 1907 He Set Aside An
Island As Preserve For
Animals.

That Colonel Roosevelt has been q
friend Of the Bull Moose for Ave years
Is shown by a record uncovered by a
clerk In the State Department. Some
one asked the clerk a few days ago why
he supposed the colonel hit upon that
word in his speech at Chicago which
resulted in It's acceptance as a party
nickname.
Easy" answered the clerk. He has
been befriending that breed Of animal
for nve years. You didn't know It!

"EVIDENCE OF ROOSEVELT LOSSES. "

Here is one of the striking bits of logic that DEM
onstrate how President Taft is gaining and Roose-
welt losing ground The New York Times prints
Chicago dispatch which includes these paragraphs:
Why is it said that Roosevelt is losing ground? The
files at the Democratic headquarters here contain abund
ant testimony this point He Is losing because the
Republicans do trust him. "Confdentially,' so
wrote Ernest A. Jackson prominent banker of Dallas
s. D., to Elmore w. Hurst of the Democratic national
committee, September 81 "Confdentialy, the Taft
Republicans OF this State had meeting at Mitchell
yesterday and the day before which l attended, at
which unqualedly resolved and pledged ourselves
for the five Wilson electors at the November
election and to do everything within our power to see
these electors carry the State by good substan
tal majority. In this way only did we think we could
properly rebuke the so-called Republicans, who are
boiling and attempting in every way possible to ruin
our party by lending aid and assistance to the Bull
Moose party This meeting largely attended,
there being between three and four hundred delegates
from every part of the State"
There is doubt that Mr. Roosevelt Il losing ground
this is generally admitted
This is gem of reasoning. Roosevelt is losing
ground it is proved by showing that the standpatters
are deserving Taft in body and pledging themselves
to Wilson!
1t is as good as the Administration demonstration
that Standard Oil is busted" The doubled value of
its shares and the increased price of its products
proves it, Q. E. D.

WHY SHOULDN'T BROTHER CHARLES
TALK?

The name of Charles P. Taft is not recalled as
having appeared in any list of witnesses summoned
for the campaign contribution investigation.
Mr.. Taft is credited with giving more money
toward nominating Presidential candidate in 1908,
than any man ever gave to a like cause.
He is understood to have been exceedingly liberal
again in 1912. =
Why should this shrinking violet Of modesty be
permitted to escape proper recognition Of the noble
generosity that backed up the patriotic ambition to
have President in the family? Let Brother Charles

ONLY TWO CANDIDATES IN THE RACE

The New York Herald publishes today the results
OF canvass Of over $4,000 voters in eleven States,
comparing the votes that will be cast this year with
those that cast by the same men four years ago.
The poll demonstrates conchsively that the Presi-
Dental contest is between Roosevelt and Wilson,
with Taft poor third Thus':he Pennsylvania votes
were totaled as follows:
The Washington times., 1912-09-29

1t will be observed that Governor Wilson does
not quite equal the Bryan vote of l90s while Taft
gets less than half his of 908 and Roosevelt is
high man by a scratch.
remarkable result is that IN NO STATE among
those represented does Mr.. Taft take first place. In
eleven Wilson was first, in two Roosevelt. In nine
States Mr.. Taft was third, only Ohio and Wyoming
giving him as good as second place.
That the Presidential outcome will depend on the
final crystaizaton of sentiment from this time for
ward, is plainly indicated by this poll For example,
New York State seems likely to be, always, a
barometric if not pivotal State. New York shows
thus in the Herald poll:

Roosevelt NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. .2,SlS
wilson .o,fof
This being the territory in which Roosevelt is
supposed to be weakest, compared to. the West it
will be seen that in fact he is wonderfully strong.
He is strictly in the running along the line
The tendency Of changes now taking place and
likely to take place in future, is from Taft to Roose-
welt The losses from Taft to Wilson have already
taken place. Changes from Taft to Roosevelt will
continue, as voters who believe in sound business
policies realize and more that they must choose
between Democrat and Roosevelt. They will more
and more incline to take Roosevelt This will add
to the Roosevelt strength from the Taft column 1t
will be the final settling down of substantial serious
minded business opinion in the last weeks before
election; and, the strength Of the Herald figures
it seems altogether likely that it will push Roosevelt
into first place even in the East while in the West
he is certain to be there, anyhow.
The Washington times., 1912-09-29

Figures such those, if they have any value at
all simply indicate that the New York electoral vote
will 60 that candidate in whose favor the swing Of
things turns in the next five weeks. Today it is all
in favor of Roosevelt.
Connecticut will be carried by Roosevelt, accord
ing to the Herald forecast He draws l27 votes, to
90 for Wilson and IS for Taft
The totals for the Eastern States of New York,
Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania
and Maryland show these figures
