Utica, N. Y., Oct. 30.—Kverybody up
this wov W)an Is.taking politics at all
i. talking about the circular letter
Theodore Roosevelt's state chairman
has rent, to state and county office
holders asking them to contribute to
tTe iampalgn. The fact that State
Chairman Prentice added at the’bottom
of the letter these words.J‘T. bl ® !. ct i?I
Is not Intended for officeholders, did
not prevent this letter reaching every
upstate Republican offiecholder Atwo
per cent assessment vras being collected
when the letter was made public. Tns
assertion Is made that the letter was
sent to many Federal officeholders as
weil as to the men who are on the stato
and county pay rolls. Naturally, men
• are laying that the letter Is not in
keeping with the high Ideals Mr. Roose
velt has been preaching these many
' < Th?s new begging communication
does riot differ materially from the let
ter Mr. Roosevelt’s lieutenants sent to
representatives of •"hlg buslness In
New York clt>, two weeks ago. Like
the letter sent to the business men, It
promises that the tariff shall not be
disturbed "tor. the next few yeara, It
the Republicans win throughout the
country this year. J&S 0 ,
Tht Awful Tammany.
"A Democratic national admlnlstra-
. film would mean an Immediate revision
of,the tariff, with the inevitable unaet-
tlement of business,” says the letter,
"and business depression Is always at
tendant upon a general tariff revision.
Revision bv items in accordance with
tho Republican program where a re
port of the tariff board shows it to be
necessary will cauBe no such disturb
ances or depression in business.”
And then the persons to whom the
letter was addressed are told; **If you
ilo not wish to have a general tariff re
vision, business disturbance and de
pression within the next few years, and
If you do not wish to place the control
of this state in the hands of men domi
nated by Tammany Hall, I wish you to
send me Immediately as large a sub
scription as you can afford.” ■ 1 :
In addition to being?, sent to officer *
holders, the letter was sent to all man
ufacturers In this part of the state.
Some of them wbo are exceptionally
well taken care of under the Aldrlch-
Payne tariff law like the tone of the
letter. They regard it as a clean-cut
promise from Mr. Roosevelt that If his
Influence shall prevail the troublesome
tariff question will be laid aside for a
few years.
Mr. Lattauar, Glove Maker.
Tho day the letter arrived In this
part of the Mate, Lucius N. Littauer,
the glove manufacturer at Gloversville.
mot Ron*« pledged Ida support and
In? r<>du< ed him. at Gloversville. Per
sons who wear gloves have a cause to
remember Mr. Lattauer. He used to be
a member of tin* national lions*- of rep
resentatives. When the tariff bill was
up he camped in the capitol until he
had succeeded In having a prohibitive
duty put on gloves. He had been one
of the faithful lieutenants of Speaker
Cannon and tho speaker stood by him.
A professional man here in Utica in
commenting on the conversion of Llt-
tauer to the Roosevelt movement ro
uted this story: **A friend of mine
who has been living In Paris for’sev
eral years Is here on a visit. I no
ticed the other day that he wore a pair
of gloves about the sarao grade of kid
as I had on. I asked' him where ho
bought them, and what he paid for
them. He answered that he bought
them In Paris for 65 cents. He was
amazed when I told hlnrT paid 92 here
in Utica for th£ same grade of gloves.
And yet then are persons who do not
believe we are being robbed by the
tarter."

GROWTH AND PROGRESS OF NEW SOUTH
The Georgian Records Under This Hoad Each Day Soma Fact in Reference to
the Progress of tho South.
Several Montgomery men interested tn the'cotton seed business estlmato
the value of Alabama's cotton seed annual yield at tl2.500.000, says a tele
gram to The Chattanooga Thradesman. They figure It out this way:' Tho
stale produces it bout I.OOD.OOO halts a year, or an average .if It hale tn every
thrqo acres, or a third of a bale to tho acre. This would be 3.000,000 acres
planted In cotton. It takes a bushel of seed to plant un acre, therefore
there are 3.000,000 bushels of seed utilised.
One million bales means a seed yield of M0.000 tons. Placing the value
per ton at 325, the seed crop Ij worth 512.500.000. Of the seed crop, about
300.000 tons are taken by the cotton oil mills, the money paid, for the seed
at 325 a ton Doing 37,500.000. This leaves 200,000 tons of see#, worth 35,-
000,000, still to be accounted for. Of this amount some 50,000 tons are used
for planting. The 60.000 tons, valued at 326 a ton, shows an expenditure for
seed planting, alone of 31,250,000.
Still there ^re 150.000 tons of seed to bo reckoned with. At 325 a
ton this nmountitSf seed Is valued at^33.750,000. This seed Is not crushed.
It Is not planted, and all that can be said of It Is that that much money
goes to waste In tho equivalent amount of seed being used for fertilizer,
stock food and being left to rot.

Will
Recommend - Hitchcock
Plan of Two Rates
to Congress.
Washington, Nov. 1.—Following a
conference between President Taft and
•Postmaster General Hitchcock, the
president will make recommendations
to congress regarding cljongcs in the
postal rates on magaxlnes and other
periodicals.
This recommendation will urge a
charge of'one cent a pound on reading
matter, and a much higher rate on the
advertising contained in all magazines.
Publishers will be required to send ad
vance copies to the department each
month or week. The reading matter
and . advertising will be separated and
postage will be computed by the num-
ber of magazines sent out.
Postmaster-General Hitchcock ad
vised the president that this plan Is
entirely feasible and the prtper solu
tion of the problem. It Is alleged that
tho carriage of magazines .thru the
malls entails a heavy loss on the gov-
eminent and Is one of the main causes
of”the large deficit. Hitchcock thinks
the adoption of his suggestion will wipe
out every - penny of this deficit. The
change will, not apply to newspapers.
The average haul of'a newspaper Is 300
miles and of magazines 1,100.

TO MAKE HARD FIGHT
TO SAVE DR
Appeal From Death Sentence
• Will Be Heard on
Saturday.
London, Nov. 1.—Announcement was
made today of the plans for the appeal
of Dr. H. H. Crlppen, the American
under death sentence for tho murder
of his wlfo, Belle Elmore Crlppen. They
rev,*:ili*<l that l lie, light cc ill be tho must
bitter waged for a generation In Brit
ish criminal courts to save the life of a
condemned man. The question at Is
sue involves a trlplo contention, for
Crlppen Is not alone fighting against
his conviction and sentehce upon points
of law and fact, but ho Is battling to
be present when tho arguments arc
presented un Saturday.
The contentions set up the claim that
J3r. Crlppen wna not convicted either
by the facts or the law governing crim
inal cases. Counsellor Newton will
claim that sufficient evidence was not
adduced-to show that tho remains
found In the cellar of Csfppen's borne
were those of Belle Elmore Crlppen;
that it " ,-t lid not prove eoiu-lu-
•Ively'lKat CHppen had murdered any
body, nnd that the testimony given In
the trial of Ethel Claire LeNevo,
charged with- being an accessory after
the Art, was of such nature oa to help
Crlppen.
Crlppen Is, under sentence to die upon
the scaffold on November 8. It was
reported today that a stay of execu
tion would hardly be granted, as the
decision of the i appeal Judges would
likely be handed down brfore that time.

New York, Nov. 1.—With tho 310.000
raco between Claudo Grnhame-tVhlto,
the English aviator, and John B. Mots
sant. "The American Eagle," hanging
fire as an aftermath of the international
aviation meet, a row which has devel
oped between the aviators and the
committee In charge of the Belmont
Park uoetlng held tho center of Inter
est today. Strife has arisen In the
ranks of the Aero Club of America, J,
Armstrong Drexel has already resigned
and it is reported that other Influen
tial members are contemplating folv
lowing tho lead set by him. Drexel de-„
clarcd that the French and English
aviators got a Bquare deal from neither
tho Aero club nor the aviation commit
tee.
Representatives of the Royal Aero
Club of Great Britain and of tho Aero
Club of France are expected to make a
report to that effect to their respective
organizations, and It is possible that
the relations existing between France,
America and England may be broken
off as a result. Tbo Claudo Grahaine-
Whlte Is sharply criticised for his ac
tion In challenging Molssant to a raco
on unequal terms, he having a 100-
horsepower maahtnc, while that of, tha
American Is only 50-horsepower, nev
ertheless a largo percentage of the avi
ators are bitter against tho aviation
committee for refusing to givo tho
Englishman another chance for the
Statue of Liberty prize.
A Rival Dinner.
That a bitter feeling exists was
shown last night when Drexel gave a
dinner to the disgruntled aviators at
Sherry’s, while the official banquet was
being held at the Plaza hotel. Those
at Drexel’# dinner Included Grahame-
Wlilte, of England; DeLesseps and La
tham, of FmncS, and Baldwin, Har
mon, Harkncss, Hamilton and Willard,
of America. Molssant and Hoxsey, of
America; Bradley, of England, and Le-
Blanc and Armon. of France, attended
the Plaza dinner, but It was said that
they had been Instructed to do so by
their team captains. Tho Wright
brothers wished to remain neutral tn
tho matter and they left the Aero club
dinner after they learned of the break,
leaving only Hoxsey to represent their
flyers. Grahame-Whlte arrived at the
official banquet Just In ttme to receive
tho International "coupe de aviation,"
and then hurriedly ]ert.
Officials of the Aero club refused to
day to discuss the dispute, saying they
were too busy flgurtng up the totals to
award the prizes and ascertain their
profits.
Rsady to Put Up Money.
Grahame-Whlte continued Issuing
challenges today for another Statue
of Liberty race. It was unofficially an
nounced that If Graname-White and
Molssant < ou!d arrange another race, 1
the Aero club would back the Ameri
can with a 310.000 purse. Grahame-
Whlte claims that he has 313.000 In
tho custody of the Aero club, won by
him during the International tourney,
and ho is willing to allow the club to
put up a check for 310.000 from that
