EXPECTS HUGHES
TO 3E REELECTED
The President Claims All
States as Doubtful With
S Republican Leanings
only spur the organization on to
greater efforts
It was learned that Herbert Par
ions when he last called on the presi
dent expressed the opinion that he
had entirely misunderstood the gov
ernor and since Mr Hughes political
campaign tour throughout the west
he would work for him even Eiarder
than he would for the national tick
et because the governbr needed it
more I was predicted that the re
ception that Governor Hughes would
have in New York city would aston
ish the country
Jews for Taft
Regarding the situation among the
foreign born voters In NeW York
it was explained that they are a good
deal mixed up The Jews at this time
have a trend toward Taft butnot
toward Hughes the Irish voters have
a strong trdfed toward Taft while the
Germans have a trend toward Bryan
and also toward Chanler
Notwithstanding reports from New
YQrk that the president Is dissatis
fied with Frank H Hitchcocks man
agement of the campaign it can be
said that the president is standing
by IVIr Hitchcock He realizes that
Mr Hitchcock has had a very difficult
task and that he has been criticised
by elements in the party that have
fought to run him Every time Mr
Hitchcock is criticised by this opposi
tion the president says that Mr
Hitchcock has done very well and
that he believes in him

PASSING FAD
The S Vaudeville Houses of
New York Now Show

BUILDING CODE COMMITTEE OF
NEW YORK HAS PUT ITS FOOT
DOWN ON SKYSCRAPERS OF
FUTURETHEY MUST NOT
c <
EXCEED 365 FEET HIGH IS NOW
THE LIMIT
By Glen Guernsey
Guernsey
New York Oct GAny parson
entertaining the idea that canvass
back drama is only a passing fad
that will soon die out is In error
This is shown by the number of large
New York theatres formerly devoted
to vaudeville burlesque and melo
drama which have been transformed
into moving bay houses with the i
general admission atn dime a throw
The Fourteenth Strcet Theatre is the
latest addition to the ranks of the
add1
canvassbacks and signs are not
lacking that other theatres will soon
toUowsul Already there are near
ly a dozen bigand expensive hou3es
iozen
representing a large investment de
voted to this form of amusement in
addition to the hundreds of near
theatres with gaudy fronts which
cater to the flveccnt patrons The
existence of all these places has had
a decidedly bad effect upon tae box
office receipts of the regular vaude
ville houses The Salome craze
served for a lime to tract patronage
to the vaudeville theatres but the
sensational limits in that direction
have apparently been reached and
the managers of vaudeville houses are
in deepest despair
Stop Skyscraping
New York Is inordinately proud of
its skyscrapers The Metropolitan
Lie Building which Is 676 feet In
height and the Singer Building
which projects into the atmosphere
612 feet are looked upon as architec
tural achievements which will soon
be surpassed In the brain of every
New Yorker is a vision of the future
when the skyline will show airpierc
ing structures which will inalte tie
highest edifices oft the pr sent appear
pygmylike Vain dream The Build
ing Cede Revision Committee h sset
ItSAfoot down on the skyscrapers
metaphorically sneaking and 1 its
recommendations are adopted the
SIng rad Metropolitan Life build
ings will btI last of their kInd
Threehundredandfjfty feet is quite
high enough for any building In the
opinion of the members of the com
mittee and then only when the edi
fices face upon a park spuare or
plaza
I the Board of Aldermen acts
favorably upon this recommendation
the skyscraper is apparently doomed
Lure of the City
October is the month when New
York receive its greatest accession
of population from the country dis
tricts and this month has not proven
an exception Farms villages and
small cities all over the country are
furnishing their quota t the teeming
millions of the metropollsv Most of
these arrivals are young1 people of
both sexes who see iu the greatest
city of the land an opportunity to ps
play their ability
For the young person from the
country who has gained an expert
knowledge in some particular line
NewYork often offers fulfillment of
the fondest hopes Asa rule em
ployers prefer boys and girls from
the country and mall tojwJS asthey
are usually more anxious to succeed
and less susceptible t the dissipa I

tion that shatter the energy of do
city youth
The young man of ability wjho has i
a capacity for hard work has no reason N I
son to fear New York The born and
bred metropolitan youth may be able
to put up a better front and for a
time may laugh at his country cousin
I will be only a matter ola f V
years until his spirt 41 be chas
tened and he will be tamely eating
out of the hand of a boss TvCio
came to New York from Oshkosh or
Podunk 8
There is a pathetic side to this an
nual autumnal invasion however
The boy or girl who arrives in New
York with little money and no friends
or influence and expects to make a
living by working in the stores or fac
tories will have a hard row t hoe
and they had much better remain at
home There are always a thouscand
vacancies for the man or woman whO
can do something a little better than
anyone else but for the untrained
and mediocre New York has fed in
ducements to offer Many a home
less unkempt man who came to the
city a few years ago with hope ot
conquest beating hlglv in his heart
now sleeps in City Hal ark and hita
the bread line for his daily food
The untrained girl from the coun
try has an even harder time The
great department stores prefer the
homegrown product for their shop
girls since the city grl is usually
quicker to learn knows more of tho
ways and wants of tho city folk who
constitute the great mass of sopperi
and more important is willing to
accept a smaller wage The city girl
living at home can getaong on a
sum that would mean starvation for
the young woman dependent upon
her salary for a living The propri S
etors of department stores are not
philanthropists least not during
buIne0s ioure so what would you2
Of the thousands of youngsters
who are now pouring into the city
it is likely that a yea ncnce will find
a considerable proportion back at tho
old home and mighty glad of Jt
Not a few will Ire here yet and will
be typical New Yorkers qite unable
to understand how they ever man
aged to subsist In the lltfle city or
village which they once called homo
and which they now recall only in
terrifying nightmares A few nil
have gone under swallowed up in
the great maelstrom of vico and
squalor that exists in every great
city drunken criminals in the dens
of iniquity and new faces among the
painted women of foe Tenderloin
