Governor Addresses Overflow
Dinner of His Supporters.
[From Th?- TiIIwum Bwaati.1
Washington. Jan. 8.?One hundred and
fifty Wilson men who came down from
New Jersey to acclaim their leader at the
.Jackson Day dinner and lost their opportu?
nity because some one else secured the
Seat.? held an overflow Wilson dinner at
the Shoreham Hotel to-night and took sol?
ace in the fact that the Governor left the
regular dinner long enough to come over to
?address them. State Chairman Grosscup
had applied for a block of ticket-?. but
fulled to get them because he did not in
elosa a check with the application. When
it ??is discovered that the dinner was con?
ducted on a cash basis it was too late, and
the disappointed New Jersey delegation had
t.. ?urange a dinner of Its own. James
Nugent and Robert S. Hudspeth. who had
the foresight to inclose a check with their
application for ?oats, attended the big gath?
ering.
The overflow diners ate in moody silence
until they were assured that Governor
Wilson would come over to make a speech.
Dudley Field Malone, of New York, tried
to revive their drooping spirits by scorning
retrogressive and retroactive New York
City and lauding the strength of the New
Jersey candidate as "manifested by the
bltt.r personal attacks upon him'" Colonel
Hol)'/, of Bergen County. as toastmaatcr.
also trletl to arouse the lagging enthusiasm
of the audience, but liaci a hard task until
Com.-nor Wilson arrived.
At his appearance his adherents waved
their napkins and all hut stood on the
chairs In triumph. He told them that he
felt at home, because he knew how they
all felt toward him. while he was not so
certain about the Democrats of the big
dinner.
"I can only observe with my eyes what's
going on In their minds,"" he said. In gen?
eral, however, th.- Governor was can-fui
nothing that might lie construed as a
criticism of anvbody or any faction. "There
are all sorts and conditions of Democrats,"
he said, "and all of us are Interested ?n
bringing the Democratic party to the ser?
vice of a common cause. There are all
sorts of pollclea, and we must not asaume
that our policy is the only good one."
He denounced machines and boss rule.
"There is a great deal ?if misconception
about political organization." he Mid.
Some people have the idea that organiza?
tion is bad. but the binding together of the
various forces, whlcn do n?>t come together
In haphazard fashion, Is the only conceiva?
ble way in which to achieve the common
purpose. A movement must be managed,
but it muet be managed to do things, not
bossed. The only thing I shall tight Is the
machine. There Is a difference between
party and machine. Shall a man he said to
be opposed to a party because he is oPPOSSd
to the base uses of a party? Would you
rather concoct a little private programme
at the head of a small number of men or
march at the head of a great state?"

William jtMinJnKs Bryan as late a.= list
October apparently had no idea that Gov?

Bryan's Speech Causes Tumult,
Mr. Bryan spoke on "The Passing Plu?

awoke so muih applause as his perora?

Mr. Bryan ?rioted:

When Mr. Bryan had spoken th.se Unos
the hall rang with a deafening din. Il,u
and theie ahora the tumult eooM b
heard mingled ?lies of 'Yes, stay asleep!"
and "You are still a live one!"
Mr. Bryan continued his quotation when
the tumult had subsided, and etOOOd with
this:
I tl umber not ti,e in<-m la In my ?-ou.-h
Each day a trumpet ?nundath in my ear,

. .Mr. Bryan characterized the movement
for popular election of Senators as the
greatest national reform of the generation,
and he urged elimination of th,?* partisan
issue that had b.?n ln'e.-t?-d Into the con?
troversy, assorting that neither of the
great partiea could hope to win a constitu?

ef the Democratic Congressional Campaign
Commutes, presented a glowing prospect
for the party's success tn the coming cam?
paign, an?! Alton B. Parker briefly dle
eaaaed "Some Conditions of Success." Mr
Parker saw a bright future for tho party,
but sound?_ a note of warning.
Judge Parker was the first speaker to
make a direct Reference by name to ex
Presldent Roosevelt. Ho called the assault
on tho trusts "a cheat and nasty fraud.
"The statement of Roosevelt, that the
trust law was Impotent was untrue, and you
lawyers know it," ho said. "I charge now,
and vhen the opportunity is presented and
I am asked for facts and figures I will
prove It. that all of his tirade against the I
law, the courts and the states was to at- ?
tract attention- away from tho truth, and
that every bit of the responsibility for the
conditions of to-day rests upon the Repub?
lican party."
William R. Hearst, another of the speak?
ers, ?lolayed by the storm, arrived lato at
th- f.ast Mr. Hearst reached the hall Just
before tho speaking began, and was ush?
ered tO a seat at the speakers table, bc

Hearst Attacks Roosevelt.
Mr. ilcan-t said his only ?Ic-in- was 10
lend his best efforts "to help true Demo?
crats control the party in the interest of
true Democracy." He added:
I bare advocated ami supported what?
ever Bteaaurea would repone toe full power

and i hare i?"t sdrocated some 01 them
Some Of the time, but all of thorn all of the

Thus I havo endeavored to perform my
lift duty as a Democrat, atid be a I "in"

I am here to-night because I am a Demo?

lieve that tbe Democratic party has be?

01 the p'lnclples which I havo always fol?
lowed and for which 1 havo always fought.
Ill d?termination la. then, to perform
my further dun as h Democrat, and sup?
port the Domoeratl?' party and true Demo

and with ererl resource I car. command
This coming election and many elections
to follow will h? decided by the Independent
progressive voters of this country, and this
great body of Intolllgent cltt-iis will real?
ise that they can flrul the best expression
of th.-lr Ideals In a Democratic party which
las the rensdence and tha couraga to be

Assuredly these progressive citizens will

tarty, ?JOI Mr Taft I? either opposed to

Positively these progreaslree win not be

?1? CRANE DEAD
M FDEJF_CIELEG;
A Few Hours Before Death
Made Statement Attacking
Higher Education.
CARNEGIE HIS PET AVERSIC
Advocated Burning Colleges a
Use of Money for Better Pur
poses?Was Head of Big
Manufacturing Concern.
?hlcago, Jan. 8? Richard T. Crane, he
of the Crane Company and foe of unlver
ties and higher educational institutloi
died suddenly at his home to-night, afi
a three days' Illness from the grip.
The death of Mr. Crane was sudden,
his Illness had not been considered serloi
A casual examination by physicians led
the belief that he had suffered from an t
tack of heart disease. He had Just finish
a light dinner.
Nearly eighty years old, Mr. ?'rane. w
haA haatt without the advantages?or d
advantages, as he characterized It?
training In universities, and had worked 1
way to the head of a large Iron workli
company, contended all his life that tl
college and the university were usele
fixtures, and that the money devoted
higher education could be spent mo:
profitably In extending Industrial educi
tlon and aiding persons who had met wll
adverse fate.
A few hours before his death Mr. Crat
announc.-d the result of his Investigad?
of the work accomplished by graduates ?
the University of Illinois. He said:
The further I go into this educutlc
question, the more firmly am I convine*
that I was right when I took the grour
some years ago that this university, t
well ss all others, ought to be Lurned dowi
and that the money spent on them shoul
be expended where It would do some good
Mr. Crane a statement "?va* in the natur
of an answer to articles which refuted hi
statements that technical school graduate
were not in ?Jemand by business men.
Mr. i'rane detailed his efforts to lear
the employment and remuneration of clvl
and el'.'trlcal engineering graduatea. gradu
?v.?'? from the s?*ademlc department an
the school for business training, and als
the agricultural school. He declared tha
he found only a small percentage of th
civil engineers working for representative
firms, and they for a '"remuneration o
about one-fhfrd of that commanded by i
skilled mechanic."
Similar conditions, lie asserta. prevail li
the case of the graduates from other de
larttnents. The agricultural department o
the university was also scored by Mr
Crane, and in this connection he write?5:
FertlilSSUos is the most Important sub
Ject before the farmer to-day. but the uni
versltv has done nothing more than bsrel:
touch the surface. The university tra?ne?
farm, r la not in demand by farmers gen
rrallv, tn fact, they would not care t?
bave on*? of these men, even r.t the prie
of common labor.
In compiling the answer, Mr. Crane cor
responded with all the graduates that h<
?oui.i reach whose name* were given bj
the university authorities.
Hi-hard Tello-r Crane was one of tha
makers of ?'hlcago. and he In bis turn was
made by ?hlcago. For there he found his
opportunity, and with the clty'a growth
grew his fortune. In recent years he ac?
quired national prominence as the whole?
sale Iconoclast of higher education.
"Hum the colleges, and use the money
they spend for better purposes," declared
this self-made ironmaster. College men of
all classes he believed tended both to In?
efficiency and Immorality, and In his last
years spent much time in attempting to
prove his assertions.

of universities. And. Indeed, In in? ?
spects the two men were the direct an?
titheses of each other. Crane was ;i man of
powerful frame, thickset, sinewy ;in(*
agile almost to the day of his deat'.?., g\
eighty years. The square bead and tW '.
neck showed a bull-headedness of purpose,
which the keenness of eye stamped aj com?
petent of canylng out.
It took this man more than fifty pean
to complete the building of his big Busi?
ness, with Its six thousand employes When
It was dona it was called the i'ran<> tor.
pany. but the "company" WAt to the lest
Richard Teller ?"rane. Other Cranes tB?r?
were in the business, but "old R. T.," sa
he was known to his employe-associate; "f
half a century, was all that counted.
He was th?* president of a complex cor?
poration, yet knew how each machine
should run and was likely to stop at any
workman's bench and give him a sharp i
buke for some shortcoming. Yet ho was as
quick to seize the grimy hand of an cl?l ?m
ploye In friendly greeting and talk with
him like a fellow workman. Host of hi?
men ho knew by their first nam-?s. He
wss a Democrat and autocrat in one.
"Academic learning beyond the essentials
of the grammar grades In public schools Is
waste of time and waste of money for th?\
boy who la to enter commercial life
the dictum of Crane.
In a volume he published early In 1310
Mr. Crane told of the results of an in?
vestigation Into the methods, uses and ex?
penses of "higher education ' of all klnd-a.
He charges that the millions spent an?
nually on universities, colleges and techni?
cal and agricultural schools and law a;-.1
medical schools In general are swallowed
up In one of the most gigantic '"?.windle?"'
ef the age. Among other things he says:
"The college men talk aa though they
knew all about every other mans business
and that they could manage aff?\irs better
than the business men themselves.
"College professors and teachers are pre?
pared to give advice on all subjects. As
|2.O0O-a-year teach-jrs they tell us how to
turn out $5,000 and S10.<x? a year business
men. isn't It a bit strange that It never
lias occurred to these smart college fellow?
to go Into business for themselves? Why
?iraw a small salary for telling young men
h?w to draw big salaries If you are capa?
ble of drawing the big salary yourself? '
I-ast September he came out with Ils
most sensational attack, when he assailed
the morals of the higher institution.?- of
learning. At Harvard, he declared. M per
cent of the students drank more or l?s-,
and 15 per cent went completely to the ba?l.
He found conditions bad at Yale and
Princeton, and worse at Columbia. Cornell
was also a particular target. He found all
sorts of Immorality rampant In all centres
of learning. Th? storm of protest |Wa
aroused among college men has hardly yet
died away.
