Ftor the second time on his speaking trips Mr. Tart encountered rain to-night. It rained at Muncie and from then on; but the rain seemed in ro -way to diminish tite enthusiasm, and the candidate -was heartily cheered on all sides. At Kokomc. the crowd was so great that it was impossible for the greater part of it to get ■within hearing distance of the train, and a Ctoup of men, women and children climbed to the roof of a small shed beside the track, from which they could at least see the candidate. Too many availed themselves of this opportu nity, however, and the roof grave ■nay. Fortu r.ately. there vas considerable heavy material stored underneath, -which prevented a rapid de scent, nnd no one was hurt. Mr. Taft received quite a shock as he heard ihe ora.sh and saw the roof sink, and he asked If any on* was Injured On being assured there -vas noX. h«> said: -That Is the biggest piece of luck I have had on the entire trip." Later he had Kofcomo called op by the telephone and •>va* again assured that v.o one was injured. At Lafayette Mr. Taft received, while on the stHTni, h testimonial to the good work of bis Tarty in restoring and maintaining prosperity. A man handed up a note to the candidate read ing as follows: "Twelve year? ago I drove a mortgaged mule to this city to hear Bryan. To day I came in my own automobile to hear you. «^an you guess who I am going to vote for?"' It was also in this town that The Tribune correspon ...... a drug store and Incidentally asked the druggist whom he was going to vote for. -Well." said he, "I'm a Democrat, but I've de termined to vote for Taft. I wouldn't trust a gre«n hand to dispense drugs irhen I could get a J rained one for th« same pay. I like Bryan, I>ut he lias had tk> experience, ad I reckon he might give the country the wrongrkind of drugs." At Muncie the crowd was bo great that It was <i*-c-ded that Mr. Taft should not try to speak. so he merely rode across the town and around the courthouse, and then on to the Big Four sta •ii--n. to «rnteb his train had been transferred in his absence: There w.-is a great Republican rally in Muncie. snd a parade thre<* mile* long. ,with many floats j-arrvins pretty _--!•? in white .j^^py an( j Columbia caps.

Near 34th Street - A'"-' York City MAKES OHIO SAFE Cleveland Traction Outcome Hard Blow to Democracy. {By Itataßtapfe to th« Trlbun*.] Cleveland. Qrt. 23.— defeat In yesterday spe cial election of th* franchise which had been the basis of Mayor Tom L.. Johnson's operation of Cleveland's streetcar system is hailed by Republi can leaders as portending the defeat or the Demo cratic national, state and county tickets in Cuya hoga County In November. The franchise was /defeated without the aid of an organization in a campaign in which the Brant was supported by Mayor Johnson and the entire Democratic county and city organization, in control of all city and county offices. The Republicans refused to take cognizance of the contest, only a tern Modem assisting the striking streetcar em ployees la their fiytit. The result of the election hi interpreted as an indication that the voters of Cleveland have de cided that the Mayor is too much of a dictator, on* of the arguments made in the franchise fight. and in this is nan the hope of overcoming the Democratic lead and giving the county to Taft and a Republican legislative delegation. The county and legislative tickets of the Democrats have been dictated by Johnson. Ex-Governor Myron T. Herrlck wired th« state committee to-day that the referendum result as sured the defeat of the Democratic ticket on November 3. Complete returns from every precinct in the city show that the franchise was defeated by 603 votes. TIM total number of votes cast was 75.593. with 57.644 In favor at the franchise and 38,243 against Secretary Davies. of the Cleveland Railway Com pany, made a demand upon President A. B. Du pont of the Municipal Company to-day that the railway property be turned over to the Cleveland Railway Company immediately. President Dupont replied saying he would do nothing until after a meeting of the Municipal directors. Officials of the city administration asserted to night that approximately twenty thousand votes cut in Blxty-sJx precincts In yesterday's election were illegal because the proposition was not prop erly stated on the voting machines. CONFERENCE ON VOTING. Election Officials to Discuss Mix-up Here To-day. President DooUng of the Board of Sections, State Superintendent Leary. Attorney General Jackson or a representative of his office, and Act ■ poration Counsel Connoly will meet to-day dder ju viu i what course shall be pursued in on election Might, and the legality of the action of the Board of Klections ra splitting ■ election districts, in which m< re than Eat persons registered. It is stated that there Is nothing In the law which gives the Board of Elections any such power at this time. It does say on this point: The Board of Elections In the city of New York, and in the city ■•!" Buffalo the Commissioner or Elections, shall divide such city Into election dis tricts on or before 1 July 1 In any year whenever necessary -■• to do. as herein provided. Such elec tion districts <=o established in the city of New York shall not again be changed until at some general election the number of registered electors therein shall exceed five hundred. The opinion of Assistant Corporation Counsel Stirling, upon which the Board of Elections Is taking Its action, holds that the law is not manda tory, and that it will be obeyed in the spirit so long a? the right of franonise of the voter is clearly safeguarded and protected. It is likely that an amicable agreement will be reached on the question of closing the polls. Ail the trouble arose over a mlx-up In the Corporation Counsel's Bice, by which an opinion was sent to Police Commissioner Binghsm that all men In Una fit 6 o'clock should be allowed to vote. The Cor poration Counsel's office later discovered the error, and Acting: Corporation Counsel Connoly sent a letter to Attorney General Jackson, agreeing with him that only those men who bad received ballots at 5 o'clock should be allowed to cast their votes after that time.

"I am opposed to making a poor devil get out on the stump against his will." laughingly said the Secretary, who wishes it understood that Ohio is for Taft. but that the Republican man agers desire to make the majority there as- large as possible. As to the general outlook. Secretary Root said: "I do not believe, in the idea that the outlook may be changed In the last part of the cam paign. The minds of voters are largely made up. That verdict is for Taft, and he will be elected. As to New York, we firmly believe Taft will have a majority as large as that of President Roosevelt four years ago. "While Mr. Hughes -will fall behind Taft to some extent, his majority over Chankr will be convincing and definite." Mr. Root was selected to help in the Ohio fight because of the high esteem in which he is held in that state. As a personal friend of McKin , ley and long in his Cabinet, his words will have j weight with Ohio people. | Other members of the Cabinet arc to go Into Ohio.

COUNTRY'S MILLS HUM. . i Man// Concerns Increasing Number of Employes and Output. A hasty surrey of the industrial concerns that have increased their number of employes within the last few days has been made at the Instance of the Republican National Committee. Five hot mills of the Shenango tinplatc plant, in New Castle, Perm., have resumed work, giving employment to three hundred men. The Moorhead Brothers' Steel Company, in Sharpsburg, Perm.. will start work on Monday, giving work to v era! hundred men. About a hundred and fifty men were put to work by th»> Stahl Glass Works, In Greensburg, Fer.n.. yesterday, and as many more have been ordered to report next week.

The offi cials of the Western Union also retort optimisti cally about business. The American Smelting an.i Refining Company as received so many additional orders that th» plants are now working about 'j0 per cent, of ca pacity, and there Is no doubt that the regular divi dends on the stock will be declared.

AT BUFFALO Has His Innings Following the Governor — Crowd at Armory. Buffalo. Oct. 23.— Lieutenant Governor Lewis Stuyvesant Chanter had his innings In Buffalo to night. Following Governor Hughes at the Sstb Regiment armory by Just twenty-four hours, be was greeted by a crowd which filled the building and choked the streets outside. It was nearly 10 o'clock when the Democatic candidate for Governor arrived at the armory. His coming was signalled by a boom of cannon, and instantly the audience was on its feet. The cheering and waving of hats, hand kerchiefs and flags developed into the most demon strative welcome Mr. Chanler has had in his three weeks of campaigning. In his speech at the armory Mr. Chanler de voted himself, generally speaking, to a review of the campaign, and made many references to Gov ernor Hughes's speech of last night. "My opponent says he cannot understand what is meant by personal liberty in this campaign," de clared the candidate. "He is not the first man who, imbued with his own Ideas, thinks that they most be those of the people. Oliver Cromwell was a great man. He was a sincere and honest man. England needed an Oliver Cromwell; thank heaven, New York does not " Cheers greeted the statement that the vast audi ence recalled to the speaker's mind the remark made by Governor Hughes in the West. "Don ask the crooks whom they are voting for; ask them whom they are voting against, and then you will understand." "Thousands of you men hero to-night," said Mr. rhanler. "are going to vote against Governor Hughes. I leave his answer to you." Mr. Chanter also spoke to-day at Middleport, Me dina and Albion. The trains used by the opposing candidates passed each other several limes, but the Governor and Mr. Cnanler did not have an oppor tunity to meet. W. Caryl Ely preside] at to-night's meet i «t the armory, and Introduced Mr. Chanter, -whose voice filled the big auditorium. It mas the strain of speaking here last night, however, that worked so much harm to Governor Hughes, and Mr. <'han ler has cancelled his engagement* at Herklmer and Canastota to-morrow morning. He will speak only at Home in th» afternoon and Utlca In the even- Ing. The Lieutenant Governor said in part: ' I suppose that It is natural aii well as harmless for an honest man with despotic convictions to sin cerely believe that those who arc opposed to him, to his Ideas of government find to his ideas as to the capability of the people to choosa their own servants- i suppose thai It Is natural for him to honestly believe that those who il<> not agree with him must be actuated by fume sinister motive at variance with any honest conviction. it was. no doubt, for this reason thai Mr. FfiiKhes spoke of the pending election in New York and made refer ence to rooks as he did. Doubtless in his mind was the sincere if narrow thought that honest men could not be honest If they voted according to their own convictions un less their conviction* were the same as his. He was no doubt equally sincere when he Bald in substance that if he wen defeated for Governor all hope of honest young men going into politics and doing their duty must be abandoned. [his point of view would be sublm-.o if it were not ridiculous.

If this la what Mr. Hughes thinks that Owicom are dlwctlv responsible to the people the sooner they will stop "considering" and get to work. Mr Hughes also said: "Now I. for one. an. ab- Kohitelv opposed to throwing these business de parment of th- state into politics." Are they not In i")lltics when appointed by the Governor as muc?h is" elwtM by the people? If not . why did drag the state fair Into poliUcs?

In response to a gray-bearded farmer at Albion Mr. Chanler again said to-day that ho was op posed to a repeal of th« anti-racetrack gambling laws. , SAYS BRYAN BACKED DOWN Secretary Straus Tells of Challenge to Prove the "Public Beggars" Report. Louisville, Oct. ZJ.— Secretary Oscar Straus of tho Department of Commerce and Labor, In :i speech here to-night, repeated his charge that Bryan, at a committee beating on the tariff while he was a Congressman, bad characterised labor unionists as ••nubile beggars." He quoted an affidavit signed by James Campbell, president of the Glass Blow ers' Union, and printed In "The National Labor Secretary Straus further assarted that the Demo cratic manager! In Indiana had arranged a meet- Ing between Campbell and Bryan, at which the former stood ready to prove his charge, but that Bryan fulled to appear. EXPLANATION OF "PUBLIC BEGGARS."

Speaks Eight Times to a Variety of A udiences— Warmly Received. Oswego. N. V.. Oct. 23.-In a northward sweep through Bye counties to-day. James S. Sherman. Republican Vice-Presidential nominee, mad* eight speeches, closing here to-night with a meeting in Richardson's Theatre, where he and Job Hedges addressed a standing-room-only audience. Preceding the meeting a big parade of marching clubs, drum corps and bands took place. Former Excise Com missioner P. W. Culllnan presided at the meeting. General campaign issues were discussed by the speakers, who paid glowing tributes to Governor Hughes, urging his re-election. Every mention of the Governor's name was greeted with tremendous cheering by the audience. Congressman Charles I* Knupp also made a brief address. The days work began at dawn for Mr. Sherman. hie party leaving Elmira for Ithaca, where it was met by Congressman. John W. Dwight, members of the Tompkins County Republican Committee and the Young Men's Republican Club, an organization of first voters, who acted as an escort to Trumans burg, which was reached by special train for a noonday meeting. At Willow Creek, where a brief stop was made, a bis elder mill was in active op eration near the station, and Mr. Sherman was much Interested in the process. A rosy cheeked girl, who fclushlngly tendered a big red apple to the candidate, with her best wishes for the success of "Sunny Jim," made the hit of the day with Mr. Sherman. At Trumansburg farmers from all parts of the county had gathered, and they gave an en thusiastic reception to their guest. -The spirit of Democracy, Insistent and shrill, in the form of a small boy, who followed the candidate's automobile for over a mile, cheering lustily for Bryan, fur nished Mr. Sherman with part of his text for the Trumansburg address. "I have been greatly Impressed." he paid, "by the constant and enthusiastic cheering for Brother Bryan by just one boy about six years old. He is excusable because he M not old enough to remem ber that dark and disastrous period from 1593 to 1597, during Which this country was under the com plete domination of r>emocracy. The voters, how ever, cannot forget It. although the peerless on« might well wish that the" would." The speaker attributed that period of commercial depression to the effort to install a free trade sys tem In America. Following the Trumansbtirg meeting; Mr. Sher man returned to Ithaca by automobile, where Tie was s guest at luncheon of Congressman Dwight. and met and shook hands with hundreds of th» citizens at a reception afterward. Another special train then took the candidate and his party to cnrtiani. where no meriting had been scheduled, but where Mr. Sherman was obliged to address thre^ targe gatherings before the townspeople would permit him to depart. The first meeting was a crowd of workmen from the Wicker Wire "Works, at that place. After talk- Ing briefly on the tariff in Its effect on wages, Mr. Sherman went down into the crowd to shake hands with the men. Warned that he would get I ■ hands foiled, he laughingly replied, "What do I care for a little honest dirt." and he proceeded with the hand shaking, which evoked a hearty cheer from the men. Another short talk was made on th* currency question before a large crowd of business men. who surrounded the candidate's automobile In the main business street and would not let him pass until he made an address. Ills car made a flying trip to the Lackawamia station, where he was to catch a train for C>sw»Tgo. but there again he »a3 held up by hundreds of school girls and bora, who had been waiting for a long time. They literally swarmed over the candidate's automobile cheering for "Sunny Jim," and he finally consented to talk a few minutes while the train waited. When the train passed through Syracuse a crowd gathered at the station to see the Vice-Presidential nominee, but Mr. Sherman was sleeping, thoroughly ex hausted from his long trip and numerous speeches, and thoy wcrt disappointed- BANK DEPOSITS ON INCREASE Conservative Figures Put Growth at $350,000, 000 Since June 30.
