In discussing the Payne-Aldrich tariff law Secretary Knox said: "When the new basis of our tariff legis lation was established there were not wanting friendly Jeremiahs of the oppo sition who began their lamentations. 1 They Tv « re oppressed by the fear that tariff wars would be the result, and they made distressing prophecies of the calam ities which were sure to follow. No Tariff Wars. - Notwithstanding these distress*" 1 prophecies, there have been no tariff ** ars under th*» Payne-Aldrich law, nor in i there be any. American goods have not \ been shut out from foreign countries. On the contrary, wider markets have been ob- ; tamed for them. or have there been ad vanced duties for consumers in the United Ftates, due to the Imposition of the maxi- j mum tariff, as it was predicted there would he. Instead, the trade currents ; have flowed smoothly. Under the lower j duties and the enlarged free list provided .by the Payne-Aldrich law our imports I have continued to grow, and no. burden ! has been • toed upon the consumer. "Taken in its entirety, under th( admin- , istration of President Taft the Payne ; Aldrich law is proving to be the wisest. I and broadest measure, of practical reci j procity that ever has been enacted. It of j fera to all countries of the world the mar ! ket.« of the United States on equal term." i Another forward movement In the com mercial relations of the United States, the : Secretary declared, was manifested by ■ i good prospect "that the ties between us and our Canadian kinsmen will he drawn closer by m«-ans of a bond of commerce." Concerning relations with foreign gov- i erajnenta. Mr. Knox averred that President j Taft id insisted on » policy of altruism and benevolence, at the same time never overlooking the welfare of the American people as affected by relations with other t nations. The President, he said, had con sistently advocated the resori to arbitration for the settlement of international difflcul- j ties. For international Peace. , "Actuated by this feeling," said the Sec retary, "the President has directed the j initiation of measures looking to the early ! establishment of the proposed International I Prize Court and to the ultimate creation of a general International Court of Arbitral Justice. It is a pleasure to observe that | his policies on this question, as upon others, rseem destined to reach ■ happy fruition j and that we shall, within the next few I months, pee definitely established at The ■■ Ha-sru* an International Court of Prize. i Such a court etng established, the estab ! lisnment of the Court of Arbitral Justice. ought soon to follow as ■ logical sequence." The Republican platform of 19"8 was dis ' cussed at lonsrth by secretary Knox, Its promises were enumerated, and the work of the 61st Congress in response to those pledges was outlined in detail. The. results, lie said, were "sufficient to show that in legislation of the first importance carrying out national policies of reform and progress and redeeming Republican promises, as well as in the volume of work done, the record ' of the Ost Congress has few if any paral lels." | Referring to th»> xiews of th» Democrats, . Secretary- Knox referred hi? hearers partic ularly to John A. Dix and Governor Har mon. " If you ■wish to know their .the Demo crats') attitude upon the tariff/ he said j "let us inquire of M distinguished a man as the Democratic candidate for Governor ■ of New York and he will tell you that the i business interests with which he is con- J r.ected petitioned the Republican Congress J to raise the duty on the articles they manu facture." Referring to the Democratic at ! tltud^ on trusts, he referred to the last j message of President Cleveland, in which jit was stated that it was "difficult if not impossible" to deal with the trusts under J the federal law. "Or perhaps? even a better authority ' could be found." Mr. Knox continued, "In your distinguished citizen. Governor Har mon, who was Mr. Cleveland's Attorney [General at the time of which we are speak i inc. and Governor Harmon will tell you, as he told the 54th Congress, on Novem ber 3Q. 1896. that "the restricted scope of the •visions of this law' 'Sherman anti trust law i as they have been construed by the courts, especially in the case of the fnited States against E. C. Knight Com pany UK V. S.. I), mak< amendments necessary if any effective action is ex pected from this department.' "No amendment has been mad» to the j anti-trust law since the cay Governor Har- ' mon spoke, and against hi - statement that I effective action was impossible without ; am*ndm»n! stand? the record of the great I result? That have been attaint in th<> en- j foro-mem of this law under Republican administration." In conclusion the Secretary of t^tatc de- i lan that in reviewing President T:if - - : administration it "would seem that an Ohio T-Yesident might confidently look to bis own ftate to .sustain and strengthen his > administration."

"The. country needs it." he continued, : "and every legitimate interest in th» coun try needs It; and now that we have be come a real world power, th« world needs it. It I<= our duty to our party to mini j mize our differences." While expressing full confidence in the; ; power of the Republican party to win in i 1912, even if it should meet reverses this ' year. ho nevertheless urged his hearers to i do their best for party victory, "to think ■ of the people and their interests and not of i ourselves and our political indigestions and ! 1 bad tempers." Taking up various questions of present ' political pertinence, among them those of ; the tariff, conservation and the cost of living, he said In regard to the tariff: "We can never understand the handling of the tariff issue by the Republican party or by the President unless we can take a ' comprehensive view of how remarkably the i gen»r?l movement ha." been carried for- ' ward and of where it has reached in its ! present development." As to the increased cost of living. he said there was nothing in recent legislation to explain the situation. t He urged Ohio to Indorse President Taft's j administration. "But,"* he said, "even if j hi? own state fall? to go Republican, the President will continue to grow in the con fidence of the nation and will be the nom inee of his party in 1312." DRIFT TOWARD HARDING Ohio Democratic Leader Would Not Bet on Harmon. (By Teießraph to The Tribune. J Cincinnati. Nov. 2.— The swing of the votes in Ohio is all to Harding and the Re publicans, and I would not bet five cents on the result. I do not know whether the drift of sentiment toward Harding started early enough to elect him. but the evidences of it are very plain. Governor Harmon Is losing in the cities. There is no doubt of that." Thi.s statement was made here to-day by Senator Isaac E. Huffman, of Butler County, one of the states Democratic lead ers, who is up for re-election. In Cincin nati the betting has switched from 4 to 1 for Harmon to even money. CANDIDATES* CASES DECIDED Protest Against Block Overruled — John G. Saxe Win 3. The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court passed judgment yesterday on a number of election cases that will affect the status of, candidates in various dis trict?. One of the decisions upheld the nomfn» ticn of Jacob W. Block, in the t»th Con press District, on the Republican and In dependence League tickets. The protest was made by Congressman Henry M.

The two latter del^fratt"; voted for Saxe, but the conten tion was made that the men who had the foresight to obtain the court order were wrongfully seated. Mayer said that the returns made by the Inspectors or' election were false. Justin Bischoff decided against Saxe and reversed the action o! the board of elec tion? in accepting the Independence League c^rtiJii ate of his nomination. The Appel late Division yesterday, however reversed Justice Blschoff and upheld the nomination i of Farce.

YOUNG REPEATS Ag-ain Attacks Roosevelt at Com mercial Travellers' League. Charles H. Young, former president of the Republican Club, spoke yesterday noon l>ef^re the Commercial Travellers" League. at Great Jones street and Broadway. In the rcurse of his speech Mr. Young advocated the election of John A. Dix ats Governor. Mr. Young has heretofore, always be*-n a Republican. At the beginning of his address Mr Young said he had not changed his policies. hut that his party's policies were now framed by one man. and twisted so de viously that h>? was unable to follow them. In New York. h«> said, he was told to honor the United States Supreme Court, aa directed by the party platform, but in the West its mistakes were pointed out to him, and this confused him between the plat form and the platform-ma k^r. Mr. Young said that he was further con fused by the voice, as heard in Indiana and r.p heard in Massachusetts, because in In diana he was urged to reverence Beveridge. who stands for everything that Lodge, of Massachusetts opposed, and 1n Massa chusetts he was urged to support Lodge. who differed with Beveridge. of Indiana, on every public question. The American people, Mr. Young: pointed out, often mistake a demagogue for a ; demigod, but reflection taught that vocifer ; ation and vanity did not constitute virtue or destroy vice, and that ambition of Itself would remedy no political ills. Mr. Roosevelt. In preaching, had been eio quent, said Mr. Young; but In practice had hardly lived up to his texts. It had only recently been discovered. he said, that Mr. Pa—an tit had -<«celved large sums of money from the late E. H. Harirman and others, and that he failed to take advantage, of evidence brought before him by which certain trusts could have been convicted. He was not a builder, but a destroyer, and the trusts which contributed to his cam paign fund were flourishing amazingly. If Mr. Dlx Is elected on November 8, ac cording to Mr. Young, the check on honest business will be gone because the fear of Roosevelt will likewise have gone. j ASKS $100,000 FOR ALIENATION Former Wife of George R. Hall Sues His Mother for Damages. Following the suit for the annulment of their marriage brought by George R. Hall against Mrs. Frances May Williams Hall, there Is now a suit in the Supreme Court j which the latter has brought against h»r j husband's mother. Mrs. Emily Louisa Hall, for alienation of her sons affections. The plaintiff asks $100,000 damage.-. The younger Mrs. Hall says that the defendant enticed her husband away from her and that he never returned. In the annulment suit brought by Hall against his wife he alleged that the divorce which his wife said she had obtained in Colorado from her husband. Ho well Jones, was illegal because she never served Jones with a summons In the suit. Mrs. Hall said that she had served Jones by publica tion. Justice Giegerich decided in favor of Hall, but the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court reversed the decision. In her answer to the present suit Mrs. Hall, the defendant, alleges that her daughter-in-law not only had one husband when she married Hall, but had three.

WORK UP A WHIRL FOR DIX Campaign Managers Call for Five Talks Tc-night from Candidate. AVOIDS Mis LABOR RECORD Huppuch Has Upstate Analysis to Prove His Contention of Loss to Republicans. Further evidence of the fact that the Democratic campaign managers feel that they have made a mistake In keeping John A. Dix. the candidate for Governor, in the background, was given yesterday when they added two meetings to the tour of the candidate through the East Side to-night- Beginning with the proposition that he ••■ not to make any speeches at all except that of acceptance, the managers have grad ually receded from their position until they have now arranged almost a whirlwind tour for to-night, five speeches in all. The meetings at which Mr. Dix I* to speak, as arranged last night, are as fol lows: Progress Hall. No. 28 Avenue A. ■■> der the auspices of the Hungarian National Democratic Club; Lenox Assembly rooms. 2d street, near Avenue B; Clinton Hall, No. *> Clinton street; Cooper Union, under the anspices of the German-American Citizens* League, and Star Casino. 107 th street and Lexington avenue. There may be a change In the place of the latter meeting, but It will be held in th« same district. It was announced that Edward M. Shep ard would also speak at the Cooper Unton meeting. This afternoon Mr. Dix will be the guest of honor at a reception at the Richmond Borough Democratic Club, No. 303 Rich mond Terrace. stat»n Island, under the auspices of the organization there, of which Eugene Lamb Richards Is leader. The re ception will b<- from 3 to 5 o'clock. Mr. Dix spent the greater part of yester day morning on his Carnegie Hall speech. From 1 to 2 o'clock he was at luncheon with Chairman Huppuch and one or two other leaders. Says He Has Answered Attacks. When a newspaper man tried to get Mr. Dix to talk about his labor record he re plied that he had answered all the attacks that had been made on him in that direc tion and he did not consider that it was longer an issue in the campaign. "My views on the Issue and the methods of the campaign have not changed," said Mr. Pix. "The Issue Is the Constitution and its preservation, that and the safe guarding of business. I am much gratified over the assurance of support I have had from the business men of the state. From what those in charge of the campaign tell me I am well satisfied with Its progress." It i.« understood that Mr. Dix proposes to deal to a considerable extent with the high cost of living in his East Side speeches to-night and in his Troy speech to-morrow night he will dwell with emphasis on the Kit Im will dwell with emphasis on th* tariff. From Troy Mr. Dix will go to his home In Thomson on Saturday morning. In the afternoon there he will meet and talk to the farmers of Washington County. That will be his last speech of the campaign. State Chairman Huppuch was a.- shy as ever yesterday about giving out particulars about the campaign. He said he might have some estimates later, but It was doubtful. As a matter of fact, it is said that the reports from the various county chairmen have not been so good as had been looked for earlier In the campaign. "I will say this, however." declared Mr. Huppuch, "we have analyzed a falling off In registration in eight upstate counties, amounting In all to 13.000. and have discov ered that four-fifths of it is Republican." "What were the counties?" Mr. Hup puch was asked. Immediately the state chairman grew shy and said: "I would rather not tell that. I will go further, however, and say that in a city In one of these counties where tilt- total vote Is 3.5C0, we have found a falling off of sf«> Republicans in the regis tration, as compared with So Democrats." Chairman Huppuch, after some coaxing. said that the city to which he referred was Corning, in Steuben Counts'. Ex-Mayor McClellan Writes. Earlier in the campaign Chairman Hup puch said that ex-Mayor McClellan would make at least one speech for Mr. Dix But the speech has not materialized. In Its place a letter was given out at headquar ters In which the ex-Mayor dlscueses tlio sort of Governor he thinks the state ought to have. It is addressed to Mr. Dix. and to him the ex-Mayor says: "I only express the sentiment of all good Democrats when I assure you that I be lieve that the Democratic party has acted very wisely in choosing you. I know that you appreciate the great honor and respon sibility of being our party's candidate, al ways an honor and a responsibility, but especially so trii.= year. I am cunlMrni that you will be fleeted, and that you have the strength and the courage to do the work that will be yours to do after January 1." chairman Huppuch gave out his daily rap at Mr. Roosevelt yesterday.

PARKER HAS TRUST CURE \ Wants Attorneys General to Pre vent Illegal Corporations. Albany. Nov. 2. —Albany had Its first big Democratic rally of the campaign to-nisht. when Alton B.

Al leged Republican extravagance la the ad ministration of state and national affairs*, high cost of living, tariff and the trusts were amone the tssues discussed by the speaker. He declared OHM the country had suffered from "the fact that there has been no discrimination between the honest corporations and those that have come into existence in defiance of law and that continue to live in defiance of law." I Jiifisfp r'ark^r said in part: ; To the high rates of the tariff that have been maintained by the Kepublicans In Congress all these years are we indebted ; for the trusts, combinations former! to ! make money by restraining trade and pre- I venting competition.
