Miller Hints Whitman'S Stand Is
Misleading

"A certain administrative official is
responsible If the situation at Sing
Sing is not readily understood by the
public, Spencer Miller, Ir., acting war
den, said last night at the Heights
Club. 700 Riverside Drive. Mr.. Miller
at no time mentioned Governor Whit

"The situation at Sing Sing after
Thomas Mott 0sborne's return is not
readily understood" he explained, "es-
pecially as certain administrative Off
cial has been going about the state
saying he is for prison reform and is
backing Mr.. Osborne.
ale Is neither for prison reform nor
back of Mr.. Osborne. The only hacker
OF Mr.. Osborne is the public, and that
is why we are coming out TO tel peo-
pie that prison reform hangs IN the
balance-that the decision in Novem-
Der will affect materially the question
of prison reform
Mr.. Miller described prison condi-
tions under the old and the Osborne
regime. explaining the public must de-
eide at election whether it wishes a
return TO dark cells, chains and other
brutal forms of punishment.
Mr.. Osborne had been announced as
the speaker of the evening, but his
upstate speaking trip prevented his
appearance.

An address to the voters Of New Jer-

sive leaders from various parts OF the
state who participated in conference
of Progressives which met at the home
of Irving X. Taylor, in Orange, q few
DAYS ago and Endorsed the national Re

Frelinghuysen for United States Sena-
tor and Walter K. Edge for Governor
of New Jersey.
primarily, we support Mr.. Hughes
because his entire career since he
entered public life has been essentially
progressive" the address reads. There
Is not an act Of his in his whole record
which does not give evidence OF uni
form devotion to the popular veal and
to human rights. Furthermore, he has
invariably evinced self-mastery. an
individuality and an initiative which
preclude all possibility that any IN
visible government or any Interior IN
fuence of any sort may even IN the
most infnitesimal degree control him

MURDOCH
TO SUPPORT WILSON
Says Hughes Has Disappointed
PrOgressives' Hopes

Wichita. Kan, Oct. %. THE Wichita
Eagle" edited by Victor Murdock'
chairman of the Progressive National
Committee. in an editorial to-day urges
the reelection Of President Wilson.
The editorial also advocates the reelec-
ton Of Arthur Capper. Republican Gov
ernor of Kansas. It SAYS in part;
"The logic Of events. the issues. as
they are now Joined, the facts as they
exist. lead 70 the selection Of Woodrow
Wilson as the Presidential choice by
those citizens who would more GER
tainly further the progressive princi-
Piles so vital to the Republic and to
civilization itself"
The editorial mentions several Of
President Wilson's acts which are dis
liked and continues:
But Mr.. Hughes has likewise disap-
pointed Progressive expectations. In
his speech Of acceptance he took a half
way stand between progressivism and
standpatism. When he went to Cali
fornia he turned his back upon John
son and linked arms with Croker. lie
has bitterly criticised the Wilson for
eign policies without taking a stand on
live foreign issues of to-day, and while
apparently angling for the hyphen vote,
both pro-German and pro-Ally. he has
repudiated the Adamson eight-hour
strike settlement He has not indicat-
ed change from mis- former opposition
10 the income tax. His idea of domes-
tic legislation seems to be confined al
most exclusively to tariff so highly
protective that it would delight the
soul Of an Aldrich That there are Of
sets everybody must admit. He has
come out for national woman suffrage
he has promised determined opposi-
tion TO the pork barrel. he would un
doubtedly ignore petty politics in max
ing his diplomatic appointments. But
these items Of Mr.. Hughes's are out
weighed in the progressive scales by
Mr.. Wilson's record"

Washington. That means that they
only expect about 10000 OF the Repub-
leans who voted in the primaries 10
vote the Democratic ticket at the cleo
ton. That is fair sample OF the
quality of these Democratic claims:
wisconsin. Michigan. Illinois, Kan
sas and Ohio, in the Middle West have
all given the same kind of an indica-
ton. In Kansas. for instance. l3S,slo
voters cast ballots in the Republican
primaries and only 47.445 in the Demo
cratic primaries. The Democratic man
ayers have not yet had the audacity
TO claim Kansas. but they have talked
about carrying Michigan, Illinois, ONO
and Wisconsin. But in each of these
states the voters have shown at the
primaries what they will do in Novem-
Der. In Michigan 2s4.640 votes were
cast in the Republican primaries and
only 29.935 in the Democratic. In HI
nois 42O.959 Republicans voted in the
primaries against $500 Democrats.

New York State gave precisely the

Election Day is always holiday, and
the polls are open all day long. Prl-

The full vote, therefore. is never polled
at a primary. but there is one striking
feature Of all these primary votes. the
meaning Of which is absolutely unmls-
taxable. This feature is the great
circumference of interest on the Ke-
publican side. In every case, without
