BRACK ETT HITS BOSSES.
Tiff and Congressman Rennet Speak
at Religious Conference.
IScien^ctafly, K. T., Vov. I*.— 'Hi* bosses, both
%Ur and little, "were criticised by Senator EHfrar
T. Brackott In « pap*r read before the New York
eta*. Conference of Religion to-day. It Is the first
. public address of the Senator sir.o* his reoent de-
Teat for denomination. Senator Brackett said:
| I hesitato to give t!.« lat«rt illustration that has
acme to ins of subservience to the boss system,
'because It Is furnish «d by one hleh In the affairs
el Bute and who has much proclaimed his inde
pendence.
In the ««ime Interview In which h<» declared his
complete Independence of eny boss he declared
that, on certain political question* not national.
lie was 6ol:ij? to be poverned lii his action entirely
t, on certain political qu*-^Tlor» r.ot national.
*■»• goi: g to be pnvemed In him aotlon entirely
by the wishes of the President of the United
States.
Now. 1 confess that I can n<»e nothing: but the
tamest subservience to the bow pystem In any
eucn announcement; that the decision of the Presi
dent or of any MM el*e under the ph'.r.lng sun
rhould control the action of i son upon whom
himself the law cast the burden of decision is a
■Bare sdrrei of function and the weakest yield
ing to the boss system.
A Presidential bOM, no matter how wise or how
pood the particular lncimlient may be. is no lees
baleful than a Senatorial boss or a state chair
man boss.
The second day's seaMon of the conference was
t>per.M to-day with an address by Congressman
\VWiam S. Rennet, at New York, on the "Revival
Of Cor.sfier.ee." He paid that the work of con
ccl«nre was being made world-wide In scope and
uplifting In character. Everything Indicated that the
y*ople In thlf full tide of prosperity were directing
their thoughts along new and uplifting llr.eg. Th!»
work was th<" \ Ice. of conscience. In politics, alontr
commercial tinea rind In church work this was ap-
X>arent. Th- speaker pair! that Americana were not

MB. ODELL AS A CRITIC.
Ex-Governor Disapproves Methods
of Republican State Campaign.
Ex-Governor <Mell yesterday criticised th« way
the Republican state campaign was conducted,
characterizing It as "asinine." Mr. Odell'e expres
sion of his opinions caused much comment among
politicians. Many de<lared that his utterances did
not come with .'specially gonO. grace from him as
a Republican, even If he had not bean absolutely
In sympathy with the political leaders who advo
cated the nomination of Charles E. Hughe, and
worked for hie election.
It wa* pointed out that Mr. Odell himself, as
leader of Orauge County, failed to return Senator
Goodsell, his personal choice for the Senate nom
ination for that district, and a Republican Assem
blyman to succeed Louis Bedell. He called at
state headquarters only once during? the campaign,
and at that time did not tee Chairman "Woodruff.
Mr. Odell waa at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yes
terday, talking with Colo.iel Reuben I* Fox. who
wu secretary of the state committee when he was
chairman. He was asked what he thought about
the result of th» election,
"I would nardly call it satisfactory from a Re
publican standpoint." ne replied. "It worn, to mo
It leaves our party In bad condition, with
an Important national campaign coming on, I'm
greatly concerned over the future. The Republi
can party isn't united as it ought to be."
"What do you think of the management of tho
Republican campaign?" was asked.
"It was most asinine. There was the most asinine
policy I ever knew. As a result we have elected
only the head of our ticket. All the rest have been
beaten.
"Ther<« waa no reason for this. "We might Just
as well have elected our entire ticket- As things
Btacd it looks pretty much like a Democratio vic
tory. The Republicans made no campaign at all.
and no canvass. The bulk of the work was put on
Mr. Hughes'. shoulders.
•1 heard absolutely nothing about any state cam
paign up my way. We didn't know there was a
headquarters down here. I wasn't notified of any
thing that was going on.
"My advice was never asked once. Many of my
friends all over the state had the jams experience.
"Even when Mr. Hughes was touring my oounty
I wasn't notified or consulted. I wasn't informed
of the smallest details.
"Some of the mistakes they made could have
been easily avoided. There was one great Issue
they didn't make use of— record of the Republi
can party.
•The campaign was fought merely on the question
of the personality of the two leading candidates—
that's all there was of it.
"Republicans can fret in shape to win the next
rAmpiilgn in ihls Ftate; we must recognize the ex
istence of those things which Hearst represents
end typifies, and meet them In a conservative and
sane "way.
"If the people who are in charge of the various
departments In Albany would pay moro attention
to their business and less to politics they would do
better.
"That whs or." of my own mistakes. When I
waa Governor I nhovjld not have become chairman
of •' •■ state committee. I'll rot criticise any one
without acknowledging my own mistakes. I speak
from experience.

Albany are so busy with politics that they don't

"'What was tho effect of President Roosevelt's
interest in the cnmr-rUgn?"
"It was unfortunate. The result was the result

results."

Jackson, the Democratic, and Independence
L*>aj?ue candidate for Attorney General, no ma
terial differences from the figure, already pub

In the sama Ossmlng district the canrasa re
duced the Hearst vote by 100.
The Queens sheet In which errors appear
shows the trflal number of votes cast, but in
some unaccountable way does not account for
the missing ballots. They are placed on the sheet
neither as void nor as blank ballots, and It la
therefore thought that It was either an over-
Bight or an error of the man making out the
final tally sheet.
In the 18th District of Queens the figures
show an error of 100 votes on the Governorship
vote, but It Is corrected and carried on properly
In another section of the sheet. In the entire
Assembly district there are recorded 63 void,
blank and contested ballots, many of which
muat be thrown out.

Jersey Senator Sees Colby and
Stokes — All Remain Silent.
[By TPlesrraph to Thn Trtbuna.]
Trenton. Nov. 13. — From the plze of the crowd
nround the State House corridors to-day and
tho Interest manifested. It might have been sup
posed that the Republican caucus for United
States Senator was to be held to-morrow. In
stead of two months hence. As a matter of fact,
the crowd and the Interest were largely owing to
the circumstances Incident to the first Gov
ernor's day after election. It is a custom for
the new members especially to come down on
that day and get acquainted with one another
and become familiar with the surroundings of
the state capital.
Everything was augmented, however, by the
Senate contest, interest In which Is Intense, The
occurrences >>f the day much resembled those of
1887, when Rufus Blodgett came In at the last
moment and snatched tho prize from Leon Ab
bett. Tho difference Is a difference in time. Tha
Wodgett gamo was not played until the eve of
lhe actual caucus. Now the plotting and plan
ning are taking place weeks and weeks ahead
of ti>.<- regular time for the caucus. That fact
alone canst d the cry that a caucus was to ha
forced now because It was to the advantage of
Senator Dryden to try conclusion, as soon as
possible for fear delay would render his chances
less favorable.
There was nothing !n this The hope was
that a show of sentiment might be made of po
strong a character as practically to settle the
question of the Benatorshlp well In advance.
But such a hope, if v really existed. f« -11 to the
ground before night. The knowledge that at
this th'ie thTP are four Republicans who will
not enter a caucus If Dryden's name is used
was enougb to u[>.<=-' all plant and stop all
rames.
Senator Drrden In Indeed earnest In hl^ flßhr.
I!*- thinks he can win and intends t>> win. He
baa discovered that he baa been Injured by the
efforts <>f others to manage his campaign for
him and is now personally conducting his can
vass, lie came down to Trenton last evening
and had Governor Stokes and State Treasurer
Brlggs ilin<> with him. They were the only can
didates he k'n-v. were reported to be In the Held
against him.
When the after dinner talk was over Mr.
Hrisss had assured the Senator he was with
him and need not be considered a factor in the
fight. Tho Governor anon Oiled Mr Dryden
with hope and anon with doubt. That is the
way it ended for th.> night. Senator Dryderi
wont to bed Governor Stokes sat up until ,*{
o'clock chatting with Everett Colby, the Sena
tor from Eases What they sal.l to each other
neither would disclose to-day, It is reported
that Colby urged the Governor to get Into the
fight actively, and tin- Governor <lid not say yea
or nay At any rate Colby, who remained here
until this evening, was in rare good humor.
The Senator was around bright and early this
morning, and did a hard day's work. He first
received some personal friends at th»> hotel, and
then came up to the Stat* House ahont the'tlma
the crowd was arriving. He. shook hands with
all those in the corridors and then went into th«
Governor's room, where there was r,..m,- very
hearty handshaking " Boon after the Senator's
arrival Senator John Kean appeared on th->
scene, and tho handshaking was repeated Mi
Kean had very little to say, but intimated that
n« believed Mr. Dryden had a gr.od show In tho
race. About noon th<* Governor's room was oc
cupied by the Governor, Senators Kean and
Dryden. ex-Senator William If. Johnson Presl
aent Uradley of the Senate and several of th
benatorn. , Th conferred a little while and then
acattered for luncheon .All declared that nothing

the direct result of the undervaluation of a cer

more than ZtO per cent.
Mr Van Dam. after acXnowledstns to tha

In all to some $22,000. declaring that the lon
prices placed on them were the result of a mis

In the future it was his intention to havo the ex

check the. other's work, thereby covering each
