Governor Blasts Late Charges
of Democrat Leaders.
Meanwhile "Hyphenism" Con-
tinues Foremost Role.
HENRY FORD COMES To BAT
Boosts Wilson Stock by Wage
Announcement.
S. a Day Minimum for Women
Follows Interview.

New York, Oct. 25.-While political
candidates today prepared for the be-
ginning of the end. "hyphenism" still
played the foremost role in the cam
paign drama. Candidate Hughes S
declaration last night in Greensboro
that he did not want the votes of any
one whose allegiance to our flag is
not single and complete" was general
ly interpreted as an answer to Demo-
cratic charges that he had dealt Sc
cretly with hyphen leaders.
Hughes is booked for a Brooklyn
speech and may let forth another anti
hyphen blast Then tomorrow he
starts a New England-New York
Ohio and Indiana swing.
President Wilson is journeying west
ward for a Cincinnati address. Mean
time political headquarters here are
bandying back and forth their charges
of hyphenism against the enemy
camp.
Democratic circles rejoiced over
Henry Ford's agreement to start a ma
tional newspaper advertising campaign
for Wilson, especially in New York.
Democratic leaders saw hope of win
ming womens votes in Ford's an
nouncement that he had put his wom-
en- workers on the SIS a day minimum
wage, after an "inspiring walk with
President Wilson"
GIynn Caught Hyphen Vote.
In the hyphen controversy the Re-
publican camp had come forth with
statement charging that Ex-Gov. Mar
tin Glynn, of New York, besought
Jeremiah O'Leary, American Inde-
pendence conference leader not to be
anti-Democratic until after Glynn had
seen Wilson.
Moreover, the Republicans claimed
Glynn had sought to arrange a meet
ing between O'Leary and Chairman
Mccormick of the Democratic COM
mittee. Glynn denied mentioning
Wilson to O'Leary. The Democrats
issued a new installment of its expose
of alleged dealings between Hughes
and the conference, claiming that the
conference sought to dominate not
only this election but also to have a
permanent influence in American
politics directed against Anglo-Saxon
domination.

WRECK SUBWAY DEPOT
Bomb Early in Day Supposed to Have
Been Set Off by Strikers.

New York, Oct. 25.-ExpIosion of
bomb of dynamite at the 10th
street station of the Lenox avenue
subway line early today did consid-
erable damage to that station, smash
ed the ticket agents booth, injured the
sgent slightly, broke the electric lamps
and windows in the kiosks. tore off a
portion of the sidewalk overhead and
broke the windows in some of the
apartment houses nearby.
There was no train at the station
or near it at the moment. Traffic in
the subway was suspended for half
an hour or more as the result of the
blast. Subway employees at that sta
ton said they saw no one lettering
about and did not know how the ex-
plosive was brought into the station.
The only theory they could suggest
was that 1t might have been set off
because of the street railway strike
which has been in progress since early
in September.
Later police reports showed that
four persons were injured Inspector
Owen Egan of the bureau of COM
bustibles said the explosive was a
bomb containing high power dyna-
mite. 1t was placed under the edge
of the platform and not on the tracks
as at first reported. A subway train
carrying passengers had left the sta
ton two minutes before the explosion.

PHYSICIANS Certificates Re-
quired by Hotel Board.
Plan to Prevent Spread of Dis
ease in Eating Places.
TO BUTCHERS And BAKERS
Stringent Rule VIII Be Applied
for Sanitation.
Packing House Employees Are
Already Examined.

Enters now hygienic walters and
cooks into Kansas. A physician's GER
tificate of the hygienic qualities of
walters and cooks is a request of Leon
A. Congdon, state hotel commissioner,
after today.
Probably after the meeting of the
Kansas state legislature such certifi-
Gates will be a demand of the hotel
commissioner, backed by the statutes
of Kansas. The state board of health
intends to have a legislator introduce
a bill demanding physicians certifi-
Gates indicating that not only walters
and cooks are free from communica-
BILE and infectious diseases but butch
ers, bakers and handlers of fruit as
we'll.
However, for the present Mr.. Cong
don intends to devote his entire time
to cooks and walters. Fifty thousand
health certificates, in blank form, will
be mailed from his office this week,
TO motel and restaurant proprietOrS in
every city, town and hamlet in Kan
sas sporting either cook or waiter.
Hang Certificates in Hotels.
The cards to be filled out by physi-
clans will certify that the person ex-
amined is free from communicable
and infectious diseases. Two cards
must be filled out, one for Mr.. Cong
don and one for the proprietor to
frame in the dining room or have
ready for emergencies in case guests
desire to have their food and drink
served by hygienic employees.
we cannot enforce this request at
present" said Mr.. Congdon How
ever, it will be a great safeguard for
proprietors. If a man comes into
my office with a complaint that he
contracted disease in a hotel or res
taurant, presumably thru the handling
Of food by an employe suffering from
a communicable or infectious disease
we can get the date he believes the
disease was contracted. If we have a
certificate showing that the empIoye
was examined and found free from
such diseases the complainant hasn't
much of a case. Then, too, guests
should demand to see such certificates
hung in conspicuous places in hotels
and restaurants"
Perfect health of walters and cooks
is more essential than in butcher and
| bakers, is the opinion of Mr.. Congdon
because cooks and walters handle food
after it is cooked while the others
usually handle it before it is cooked
and ordinarily the impurities are boil
ed, stewed, fried or roasted out of II
before the food reaches the table.

First of Month.
Frank FARRELL Is in Charge of
Railway Magazine.
FRED |. VANDERBILT TO Topeka
Veteran Newspaperman Will
Retire as "Earth" Editor.
Harry E. CaylOr of State Jour-
nal Goes With Santa Fe.

The report that the Earth, the Off
cial paper of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railway company, would be
published from Topeka instead of
from Chicago, was verified today by
announcement to that effect by Ed
ward Chambers. vice president in
charge of traffic.
The change, effective November 1,
will put Frank FARRELL into active
newspaper business again, as the pa
per is to be issued under his direction
as publicity agent of the Santa Fe.
Heretofore the Earth has been a part
of the company's colonization work,
but the recent order consolidating the
colonization and industrial depart
Inents, and making the former general
colonization agent, Charles L. Sea-
graves industrial commissioner, also
provided for a merger of all matters
having to do with publicity, including
the Earth, into the department of
which Mr.. FARRELL is the head.
Caylor to Santa Fe.
Mr.. FARRELL today announced the ap-
pointment of Harry E. Caylor, who
has been writing railroad news for the
of the Earth, effective November l.
Mr.. Caylor is regarded as one of the
most capable railroad reporters in the
west He received his newspaper
education on the State Journal; but
also has done work on the Kansas City
Star.
1.-The mission of the Earth" said
Vice President Cham bers, sis to aid in
the development of the territory
served by the Santa Fe. Its circula-
ton is used especially in the north,
east and south to direct the attention
CT homeseekers and other desirable
investors to the advantages offered by
Santa Fe communities. Our publicity
representatives write up these ad-
vantages for the Earth, and the paper
then goes on its mission to be read in
other states by people who are looking
for moderate priced lands, attractive
business opportunities, or a better
climate This service to Santa Fe
communities is free-a part of the
Santa Fe's scheme of cooperating
with its patrons in general community
development. The Earth also will be
used as a medium for giving publicity
to the demonstration and experiment
work our Industrial department is con-
! Quoting the year around, especially
that having to do with agriculture and
stock raising"
F. l. Vandegrift, who has been edi-
tor of the Earth for several years, will
retire from the paper to take up a
line of work having to do with legis-
/ lative matters, it is said. Mr.. Vande-
/ grift probably knows more about leg
islatures and legislative procedure
than any other man in Kansas He
/ likely will be in Topeka this winter.

out any Coffin for the present at least.
Am ! yet alive? Well. yes l am.
The Coffin matter has not affected me
in the least excepting to make me a
little more alert and careful in voting
yes or no.
How did Coffin get $3.50? Well
do not know that he got 1t. The gov
ernor voted not to pay Mr.. Coffin his
$3.50. Under the rules of the land
board all checks drawn on the l per
cent fund must be signed and are al
ways signed by the register Of the land
office and countersigned by the gov
ernor. You say he got the $3.50 just
the same. Well. l heard that myself.
There is only one way he could have
gotten the money.
HOW COFFIN GOT MONEY.
when the roll was called three
members of the state land board voted
to pay Mr.. Coffin and the governor
voted against it. Mr.. Rennison came
in with check to the land board meet
ing, held at the auditors office and said
Governor, here is check to- sign for
$780, / told him that I was not ready
to sign 1t at that time and for him to
take it up to my office and l would
consider it. 1 have heard since that in
place of the governors signature there
were affixed the signatures of a ma
jority of the members of the land
board and Mr.. Coffin no doubt got the
money on it.
The governor kept out of the coffin
entirely in this matter, and is still out
of it. has nothing to do with it and
knows nothing about it except what |
am relating to you.
'All l can say is that I voted mo-
and if you want to know anything fur
Their you will have to see the majority
of the land board and have them eX-
plain how Coffin got the money so
quickly without the signature of the
governor affixed. That is a new way
of procedure and i am not responsible
for it whatever.
"On what voucher was it paid?
at was paid on voucher drawn by
the attorney general and signed by Mr..
Coffin, and it was made out in pencil
and the attorney generals notation
with ink upon that voucher says:
Three months salary at $3.50 a month.
The voucher is matter of record and
you can see 1t yourself"
