PARKER AFTER TEDDY AGAIN Nagel Supports Administration and Praises Taft- Parker Says That '. Thousands of Republicans Will ' Vote Democratic 'ticket. Albany. N. Y., Nov. 3. Braving the first snow storm of the season, Al banians turned out in force tonight to gi'eet Henry L. Stimson, Republican nominee for governor, and to listen to a discussion of National issues by Charles Nagel, Secretary of Commerce and Labor, in' President Taft's cabinet It was the first big Republican rally in Albany during the present campaign and the audience filled the auditorium from orchestra to gallery. William Barnes, Jr., leader of the old guard" forces, occupied a box. Speaker James W. Wadsworth,( Jr., who also played an important part in the "old guard's" fight against direct nomintions, was one of the . speakers in behalf of Mr. Stimson. ' Secretary Nagel was the first speak er. "I do not come here authorized to say this thing or that thing," he said, by way of introduction,, "but I am here to speak my own mind on National issues. The result in ( this State is bound to be of great import ance to the nation. If you ask me about 1912, I say that is not. the ques tion because bur country has a Presi dent, who is now staying awake nights to try to finfl. out how; nominations are. to be made in 1912." - , Secretary Nagel said that while in a measure manifestations of agitation in different ; parts of the country are unavoidable. . , it nevertheless, is for tfwre who 'reaimpottanepf stability to do wnat they can to have every election so far .as jnay bede-: termined, with reason, fairness and im partiality. Above ralL- he (.emphasized, it should be borne in mind that im portant as local issues may be, 'the ability of the National administration to carry out its pledges and to cope with the problems that are presented to it, is not to be forfeited or weaken ed. The question, he declared, is as to whether or not this administration shall be given the fullest opportunity to fulfill those pledges which found derinite and precise expression in the last National platform. ' mere is a disposition among the opponents of the ..epublican- party," he said," to contrast the present ad ministration with the last,. and to have it appear tuat even m some respects they stand in antagonism to each other. inis, ne declared, was far from' tne truth, i ue' administration render ed a service of inestimable value in bringing the public mind to a reali zation of tne questions and problems with which this country is confrontea. It is needless at this time, he pointed out, to urge that a condition of things had arisen wmcn calieu for a strong hand and an - unwavering personality such as Colonel Roosevelt, to bring them io pubt. cattention for answer. So much having been done, public sentiment having been -created, the demand having ripened, the time come, he said, when it was for the govern ment to formulate those promises and to cast them into permanent shape. Instead of contrasting two administra tions, he continued, it ought to be realized that in point of fact they com pletely compliment each other. When the time came to look, for the man who could give shape and construction to the demand which had been aroused in the public minds, the Republican party looKed about it with deliberation and discrimination It selected a man who had been a sympathetic and ac tive member of tue former adminis tration and who had been most especially charged with tue construe tive work of that administration. That man was William toward Tart." For the rest Mr. Nagel analyized the accomplishments of the present i ecierai administration, going . deeply into tne tariff, admiti.ng that not as mucn had oeen accomplished as had been hoped for, but pointing out the (act that substantial progress had been mdue and tne continuance Of Repubii an administration means that this progress will be continued, while the i..av.iue ui a Democratic administration in power means that all whirh had been gained in tnis' direction, will, be net ' ' Parker Fights Republicans oruanat, N. i.

GA Pill WILStgiJIOW CAMPAIGNING V - - y. r. secretary Agriculture Criticises t Democratic Policies Talks About thef Tariff and High" Cost of Living Feature. Rome, N Y., Nov.. 3, Secretary James Wilson, of the Department of Agriculture, chief speaker at a Repub lican meeting tonight divided a dis cussion of the tariff and the high cost of living into three head speak ing first from the standpoint of ,the political historian, second the political economist and last a farmer for tne nation at large. Secretary ; Wilson referred to the policy of the Republican party from its inception to encourage the up building of factories and shops and to the closing of the factories during the Cleveland administration of 1893 1897. - y. ' . i Recognizing the present cry of "robbed by the tariff, he said: "The Department of Agriculture is in touch with all sections of the coun try. If has three thousand special ists making researches Into condit ions w)ilch interest the farmer. A few years ago nearly! all our rice was imported. Along the1 Gulf of Mexico we now raise the equivalent of all the rice used In the United States. We Import some but we also export some. Along the northern' border States we .make 500 tons of sugar from beets. . Our last beet sugar crop was worth by products and labor near ly $100,000,000. Adopt Democratic policies and put sugar on the free list and the growth of beets and making sugar would stop. . "From California 42,000 cars of cit rus fruits were shiped East last year. Take off the duty and we will igfet the fruit from Mediterranean coun tries where cheap labor prevails. " "Food productsare dear and people are blaming the tariff for protecting food prices. Food cannot come from Europe. It is up to the people who buy farm products in the cities, towns and villages to look into their own af fairs a little. The average profit put on meats last year by the retailers was 38 per cent. Is the farmer to blame? Is the tariff to blame? -."It -would be well for people to give more attention to the transit of pro ducts from the farm, to the table. . i.i'But 'there is a reason- in some of the increases. Our country is grow ing fast. "... Nearly 1,000,000 people come to .us from abroad every year and perhaps as many more by natur-. al increases. Most of the foreigners and many of the xounger generations settle in towns. ' if a small percen tage of the people of towns and vil lages would become producers and get the benefit of the high prices of products of the field, the equilibrium would soon be established; and the high prices may contribute to this very end." .

Schedule K. the wool and wool goods tariff, was discussed here tonight by Congress man Eugene N. Foss, Democratic candidate for governor. ''Senator Lodge says he voted for Schedule K. for fear the Senators from the "wool growing States would join the Democrats," said Mr. Foss. "But President Taft tells, the whole story when he says that the" interests of the worsted' manufacturers of the East and of the wool growers of the far West and the worsted manufactur ers of other States, was sufficiently strong to defeat any attempt to change the woolen tariff." Mayor John F. Fitzgerald, of Bos ton, another speaker, made a prophe cy that Mr. Foss will have a majori ty of from 20,000 to 25,000. "We will carry at least six of tne 14 Congressional districts," he said, "and from present ' indications we will undoubtedly have enough Democratic members of the .House and Senate" to join with the progressive KepuDiicans to bring about the defeat of senator Henry Cabot Lodge for re-election." ; . 4 ' MA80NS TO ERECT STATUE.

The President tentatively DEAD S AUTO RAG DIX IS WAGING WARM FIGHT Bitterly Assailed Republican Rule in Five Speeches in New York Yes terday Takes a Final Shot at Roosevelt. New York, Nov. 3. John A. Dix, Democratic nominee for governor, preached the doctrine of "Republican extravagance" tariff and tax reform' and the "high cost of living" tonight through New York's crowded East side. He campaigned by automobile through a driving rain, winding up shortly before midnight in Harlem, where he took a final shot at Theo-i dore Roosevelt. In all Mir. Dix addressed five meet-; ings. The evening's work followed an afternoon spent in Brooklyn and Staten Island, where he held two re ceptions and addressed two assem blages. "Over taxation" and the Re publican menace to business as charg ed by the Democrats was the text ot the short informal speeches he deliv ered on these occasions. At a rally at Cooper Union tonight Mr. Dix said: "It is a time when we must set our selves squarely before the people and must together direct our ener gies against any influence which in terferes with civil rights, or which may interfere with progressive citi zenship. I voice the hope of every loyal citizen when I say that a rebuke must be registered against any ad ministration which deprives the citi zen and tax-payer of the rights and privileges of a government for and by the people. The opposing party has promised the people of this country that the tariff should be changed so that the burden may rest lightly up on those who toil. That promise has not been fulfilled and we are today living under conditions which don't give proper regard to the welfare of the American wdrkingmarfT The in come or wages received by the aver age man scarcely permits him to pay for the actual necessaries of life for his family and himself." At the, new Star Casino in Harlem Mr. Dix reverted to his attack on Col. Roosevelt. "My opponent's nominator, who is conducting, all there is to this cam paign -c-he'Rii)uhUcanld;aifc .said, wishes to haxe. you Jforget, and overlook the record of fhe Republic can party in this, Nation and State. He wishes you to turn from the vital questions of the. fight. He tried to satisfy you with abuse and noise, but I have too high an estimate of your patriotism and intelligence to think he will succeed." BILTMORE GUARD SHOT. Murdered in Forest Near Vanderbilt Estate in Asheville. (Special Star Telegram.) Asheville. N. s C, Nov. 3. Clayton Davis, a guard of the tfiltmore forest. stationed near George W. Vanderbilt's hunting lodge, was mysteriously shot yesterday morning, while at his post of duty. A man named Kears, of the Mills River section, was arrested late today and charged with the murder. Davis, it seems, was with a fellow guard, Will Cogburn, when suddenly a rifle cracked and he threw up his hands and yelled he was shot. Cog burn, turning, thought he heard a man running down the mountainside. Cog- burn ran for several miles for aid and upon returning found the unconscious form of Davis lying about two miles from where he left him, the dying man having struggled 'towards home. He was carried to his home and died as he was being placed . upon a cot. Dr. Hilliard and C. D. Beadle, of the estate, rushed from Asheville in auto mobiles last night, but were too late, A posse scoured the mountains today and came upon Kears who did not re sist arrest. . He admitted, shooting Davis, but claimed that he thought he was flrin at a deer.

ADDRESSES LARGE ADDIENGE President of Tuskegee Institute Gives Members of His Race Some Wholesome Advice Re marks Well Received. Dr. Booker T. Washington, presi dent of Tuskegee Institute, the fore-' most negro educator Of the country and probably in the world, concluded his seven days' tour of North Caro lina In this city last night, delivering an address in the Academy of Music to an audience that taxed the capacity of the house. Not only was every seat taken but the aisles downstairs were crowded with people, both white and colored, the north side of the opera house being reserved exclu sively for whites. Dr. Washington made one of his usual fine addresses, full of good and wholesome advice to the members of his race and he was heard with evi dent interest not only by the colored people, but the several hundred white ; people who1 were p'fesent. Dr. Wash ington and his large party of proml- , nent colored men of this and other States arrived in the city at 6:50 (O'clock last evening from Newbern on a special car attached to the reg- . ular train. Fully 3,000 people, among whom were a number of whites, crowded the approaches to the union station when the' Washington party reached the city. The police were compelled to make a line in order that the members of the party could reach the waiting carriages. ' Dr. S. A. Peeler, president of Bennett Col lege, Greensboro, N. C, was mistaken for Dr. Washington and Immediately , the crowd closed around the carriages and made it difficult for the local com mittee to handle the guests. As early as 7. o'clock the colored people began to gather at the Acade- -my of Music, forming a line extend ing nearly across the street. It was nearly 9 o'clock, however, before Dr. Washington and his party entered the opera house. The exercises were op ened by Prof. J. A. Bonner, principal of Peabody graded school, who made a few remarks, and after a musical selection and prayer by Rev. W. H. Capehart, Bishop G. W. Clinton, of' Charlotte, introduced the various members of the Washington party, and paid a high tribute to George F. King, press correspondent, who has been keeping alive the doings of the colored people of the State for some time, and R. R. Taylor, now director of industries at Tuskegee, both of whom were formerly of Wilmington. R. R. Moten, of Hampton Institute, Virginia, delighted the audience with a few witticisms and asked , the ne groes in the audience to sing some negro songs, which was one ' of the features of the meeting. . Three songs were rendered in succession and they were a real treat, for as the man of Hampton stated, the white people can do nearly everything better than the negroes, but they have never yet been able to sing the negro songs, which. as he said, are not head "music, but heart music. The audience sang: "In Bright Mansions Above," "1 Want to be heady to Walk in Jerusa lem, Just Like John." and "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." Those,- who have heard negroes sing these songs at their protracted meetings can appre ciate the treat the audience had in their rendition last night. ' Mayor Walter G.
