Loyal to McCombs.

The following statement was made by
the National Democratic Campaign Com
mittee last evening:
II Is impossible 20 deprecate too strong
w the character Of the article which ap-
pcared in The Brooklyn Eagle 81 Sep
tenber 10. alleging discOrd IN the Demo-
cratic campaign committee, aud that Mr
McAdoo, tie acting chairman was trying
to dcDOse Chairman McCOmbs, VINO IL III
There IL no foundation for this statcment
Il is n slngulaTly cruel one. because II
only adds 20 the cares OF a man who ~
ill., and who. at least. should pc spared
the worry and annoyance Of such publica-
tons There is not n member OF the ma
t!onal committee or OF the campaign COM
mittee who does not earnestly desire
Chairman McCombs's quick recovery Of
his health and return 10 his post, ana
there IS not one who would, for q mo-
ment. entertain n suggestion that he re-
tire. even voluntarily. Because OF his
illness Mr.. McCombs has not boon con-
quilted hut Il can be definitely stated
that he viii not resign.
There is absolute unity of purpose and
harmony OF action in the national com
mittee and any aud every inclination to
the contrary may be dismissed az, UNI
founded.
Speaking Of the above statement. Mr..
McAdoo said Mr.. McCombs Ia my
warm personal friend ! know that be
would make any sacrifice for Governor
wilson's success. He has. in fact. al
ready imperilled his health for the cause
II he himself should want 20 resign,
would be tho first TO oppose IT with all
my might. No one will be happier to see
him at the helm again than "
Senator O'Gorman was asked IL he did
not think that oscar S. Straus, the Pro-
grsssive candidate for Governor, woIld
draw heavily from tho Democrats
NO, / do not think So" he said. "Mr
Straus personally IL a high type OF man,
but he Is all wrong politically"

BENNETT DISPUTES WILSON
Calls Governors Statements on
Tariff Absurd.

Former Congressman William $. Bennett
followed up his attack on Governor WI
sons recent tariff speech by declaring at
the Republican club last night that the
Democratic candidate for President had
showed that he was ridiculously ignorant
OF the tariff question. and that the candl-
dates discussion Of the subject last Mon
day was replete with absurd and reckless
statements. easily disproved by any one
who took the trouble TO look UP the facts.
Governor Wilson showed an almost
absolute Ignorance Of the tariff question.
said Nj Bennett. For instance. he
seemed 10 know nothing about the opera
ton OF the drawback system under the
tariff in this country. for one thing. He
spoke Of the American shipbuilder having
10 pay taxes on all the materials which
he used, when It IS well known fact
that sldpbuiding material has been Oh
the free list for forty years.
He said that he thought agricultural
implements should be let into this coun-
try free. when, as matter OF fact they
are free rs against any country which
does not impose q duty on American
manufactured agricultural implements.
England imposes no such duty, and
there is absolutely free trade in that re-
spect with England. Governor Wilson
evidently did not know those facts. He
failed to mention that in competition
with foreign manufacturers our exports
now are the largest they have ever been
and are rapidly increasing.
The Governor showed himself in the
true light as an out-sndout free trader
when he asserted that the prosperity Of
the average man. and the laboring man.
in this country would be doubled or
treblcd b. radical reductions in the tar
if schedule That is the usual state
ment of a free trader, despite Governor
Wilson's prior campaign talk that he
twas opposed 10 free trade. There are
Nered ~ distdntements and absurdlties
rs mlles).AOcratic candidates outline Of
the tariff problem that. IL called 70 his
atten ion. il would keep him explaining
for the next two or three weeks"
Mr. Bennett said that free trade would
increase child labor I'm this country, as
the manufacturers would have 10 COM
pete with child labor abroad and the
products Of child labor. While in Da-
fnascus. with Rabbi Magnes, Mr.. Bennett
said they saw children from three to five
years old working at beating and fling
brass for ten hours day at 10 cents for
q days work.
The children were so small that they
couldn't sit at the benches without being
tied 10 their seats, he said. That was one
OF the kinds Of child labor that the Amer
lean manufacturer would have to compete
with in the event Of free trade, the for
mer Congressman said.

WHITING AWAITS DISCIPLINE
Roosevelt Follower in Jersey Loath
to Answer Hilles Yet.

Borden d. Whiting. Republican National
Committeeman from New Jersey, and one
Of the leading Roosevelt followers among
those slated for dismissal from the Pc
publican party by National Chairman
Hlles on charges Of d!sloyalty TO the

he knew. he said, about the intended
charges was what he had read in the
newspapers, and, referring to the names
Of other Progressiyes who are 20 be ac-
cused, he remarked that he was i'm good
company.
Until he had received some official noti-
ication and was familiar with the charges
that would be made against him Mr.
Whiting declared he would not discuss
Mr.. IIilles or his proposed course. He
might have statement TO make later.
