Thaw was engrossed to-day with his
publicity campaign. He gave a ram
bling interview. which consisted chiefly
of ironical illusions to MIR. Jerome.
All" he said. when Jerome's name
was mentioned. you mean the learned
counsel for the chicken trust"
When told there was a big rush to
Hammersteins New York playhouse.
where his wife, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
is appearing. he laughed and said: Il

garage tinkering with his automobile
He facetiously remarked that he was
tuning II up TO pursue Thaw in case
an effort was made to get him away by

any statement to make to the people
of New York in regard to Thaw.
NO" he replied, but l have some
thing to say to the people of Canada.
They seem to look upon him as some
thing of martyr. New York state is
not prosecuting him. Who wants HIN
for himself? New York simply is try
ing TO get him back. not because we
want him. but because the effect OF
his continued freedom at this time
when the masses are filled with rabid
socialistic tendencies, would give every
one chance to say the Thaw millions
had bought his liberty.
ALREADY they are saying it was the
Thaw millions that got him out. and
we hear the remark that a rich man
can do anything, but what chance has
a poor man? Thaw, were he at liberty.
would have a demoralizing effect on
the people. Thaw free would be real
menace. That is why New York State
wants him back. ! have documents
with me which will convince every sane
person either that Thaw is insane, and
so is undesirable. or that he is sane
and even less 10 be desired on account
of the things he has done.
What does New York want with
such a man? Canada might keep him
and welcome were il not New Yorks
duty to get him back. The doors of
Matteawan would have been thrown
open long since had New York the
ethical right to do so. There would
have been no pursuit of him. But
Thaw must be taken back. New York
doesn't want him, but it must nave
him."

JOB HEDGES SEES GOOD IN
WILSON AND DEMOCRACY
Remarks People Have Conf
dence in President Without
Knowing What He's Doing.

London. Aug. 26.-"For the first time
since | have been reading politics-that
is to say, since left college in lsS4-
the Democratic party is proceeding
along affirmative lines" said job
Hedges tonight. President Wilson is
not only head of his party but is the
master of his party. and he will make
the party adhere to its platform.
1T is a great thing TO see what con-
fidence the people have in him, for he
entered office without giving out other
ideas than the old principles that virtue
is right and that the people have a
right to be heard. To-day the people
don't know what he's doing regarding
Mexico, but have confidence in him.
1T will be a good thing for the Dem
ocratic party to adhere TO its platform,
for in this way during the next four
wears il will have to stand the acid
test. and thus it will be found out
whether the principles of the platform
are sound or not II its tariff regula-
ton be found the right thing. then the
Republican party Will have 10 change
its platform.
The only thing not yet tried in poll
ties. and yet the only correct and
proper thing for a politician TO do, is to
lay all his cards on the table and give
all sides of a question. You can't hold
back one part of the facts nowadays.
People think so much more about poll
tics than they ever did before. and IL
Bryan and Roosevelt have never done
anything else they have made the peo-
nile begin this line of thought"

London, Aug. 27.-Harry c. Hawker,
who reached the coast OF Northumber-

at 5:55 p m. reached Oban, on the west

This leaves a balance OF 704 miles 10

morning if the aerial journey is to be
finished within the time limit specified.
He must, therefore, fly a minimum Of
SOP miles to-day from Oban via the
Dublin control to Falmouth if he is TO
stand any chance Of success. That is
seven miles more than his record fight
on Monday and 1Jl miles more than
he accomplished yesterday. There is
thus scarcely any margin left for fur
Their motor troubles should they de-
velop. and if they cause any appreciate

he VII want more time. as to-day's
stages are the longest Of all, and lie
will have to take fuel and lubricant
supplies for the $50 miles separating

this morning therefore is that he has
just a sporting chance of getting home

imposed as one of the conditions OF
winning the $4,000 prize offered by
