STATE RACE Smith And Roosevelt Running For Governor With Eyes On White House. NOMINATION IN GRASP OF EITHER VICTOR Q. 0. P. Candidate, First Regarded As Joke, Now Held To Have Chance.

By FRANK II. KENT. New York, Oct. 25. JT wns to have escaped mention so far.

but It Is undoubtedly true that both the Democratic and Republican candidates' for Governor of New York rue also, and at this time, running for their rt-spective party Presidential nominees in 1028. There is not the slightest question that Gov. Alfred E. Smith and Theodore IlooHcvelt, realize there is more at stake for them in this fight thou the Governorship. The Governor of New York is always wtthiu striking distance of the White House.

More than one President lias gone straight from Albany to Washing-ion. It i the logical political step and notions about the Presidency are as sure to tind lodgement in the mind of the Ex-vtuive of this State as if he lived in Ohio, where every Governor and every is a recognized Presidential as- "THOSE who think that Al Smith's defeat in July ended his hope -in this direction do not know Al Smith or i lie people "back of him. It merely indlcd hope. Once stung by the Presidential bee, the inflammation never disappears. There Is no cure.

So that, whatever the result nation-silly of this election, when the Democratic party four years from now assembles In convention, unless be has ben politically killed by State defeat, Smith again will tigure as a' Presidential candidate. None of his friends doubt that. J-JE himself felt his chances would be promoted if he were not to run this time, spend two years making money, nnd then in 1020 come back with a rush and regain the Governorship. But his plans were smashed by the party leaders, who literally forced him to fight. If he wins this time he can "lay off' in 192G and still be the fair-haired darling of his party In 1028.

Or he could run again In 1026, and if he then won, be In an even stronger position to seize the nomination in 102S. A for young Mr. Roosevelt, It is hard to associate him with the idea of the Presidency. It still makes a lot of people laugh to think of him as Governor, but if he should win the laugh will be on the other side of the mouth. The prestige of defeating "Al," vet eran of a hundred fights and a recognized Presidential possibility, would at once stand him out as a national figure.

Add to that the striking way in which he would have followed the path of his distinguished father from the Assistant Secretaryship of the Navy into the Governor's mansion at Albany, and yon have the atage all set for "Teddy" to make his fight for the next Republican Presidential nomination. It would be tbe most natural thing in the world. Moreover, If he should win this time nnd succeed himself In 1020, it would be practically impossible to keep him out of the nomination, and the more longheaded among the Republican leaders here know iL MOW, as to his chances this time: When he was first nominated It looked, as the politicians say, like a "murder." It was predicted that "Al" would smother him with an enormous majority. Will Rogers Insisted the Society for the Suppression of Cruelty to Children ought to step In. There was a good deal of laughter about the absurdity of "Teddy's" campaign, and it was intimated the leaders had put him up more as a.

joke than anything else. Rut they do not talk that way now. The belief in the best-posted circles atill is that Smith will win, but no one longer thinks it will be a "murder." I 'II ERE are, for Instance, a number of reasons why "Al" Is not so ftrong as he was, and why It seems his wn judgment, that this was not the time for Him to run again, was sound. In the first place, he is slightly shopworn as a candidate. In tbe second place, it is estimated, he will lose 150,000 Socialist votes he got last time because the Socialists this time have a candidate of their own, whom they like.

In the third place, the Republicans up-State are better organized than they hare been In 12 years. In the fourth place, both candidates being wet, the liquor issue is not in the fijht. In tbe fifth place, the emphasis the Democrats give the anti-klan business has aroused the latent anti-Catholic feeling up-State. A LTOGETIIER it looks like a fight and not a runaway. Those who Know New York politics best say it Is not now much better than an even bet.

ISoth candidates tonight are In New York city, having ended their up-State eainpaigns, during which Smith made 10 and Roosevelt 200 speeches, which docs not mean that "Al" did not say mors. BY 12-0 SCORE Notre Dame's Attack Proves Too Powerful For Princeton. WESTERNERS MAKE 19 MORE FIRST DOWNS Gain More Than Three Times As Much Distance In -Rushing Ball. Princeton, N. Oct.

25 (Special). Notre Dame added another Eastern scalp to Its string of football victories this afternoon when the- Hoosiers defeated Princeton for the second time in two "years. The score ot 12 to 0 does not indicate the margin of Notre Dame's superiority over the Jersey Tigers, for three times the Hoosiers barely missed scoring additional touchdowns. The core last year was 25 to 2. One.

chance went to naught in the second quarter when Crowley, star of the visiting stellar backfield, fumbled the ball on the Princeton 10-yard line. Twice in the third period Notre Dame was penalized 15 yards for holding, the first penalty coming on a play in which Don Miller carried -the ball across the Tiger goal line. In the last quarter, after Notre Dame had charged down the field for 75 yards without interruption, Princeton braced and took the ball on downs on it3 own five-yard line. 23 To 4 First Downs. Notre Dame's superiority is shown by the cold figures.

The Middle Westerners made 23 first downs to the Tigers' four and gained a total of 360 yards by rushing -while the locals made only 101. Princeton fought valiantly, but was no match for Notre Dame, which last Saturday defeated tbe Army, 13 to 7. The Tigers failed to get inside of Notre Dame's 30-yard line and were close to that only twice. Rockne used a substitute team throughout the first quarter, but when his regulars got "into action in the second period the result never was in doubt. Backfield Lives TJp To Same, Each Notre Dame touchdown was the final of a few sequential lengthy thrusts conducted by the Notre Dame backs.

Notre Dame's offense went to gains too long and too quickly linked together for the Tigers to get hold of and stop them, and the noted backfield, once it swung into action, lived up to its reputation. WTherein the Tigers were unequal to the occasion was inability to stop all the Hoosiers backs all the time. Jungle folk didn't have the football gifts to keep the Indiana quartet in check constantly and a few openings are all the Middle Westerns need to get in their winning work. It's a whale of a team which can check all of them all of the time. Hoosiers Fumble Frequently.

There was clean cut, decisive football this afternoon for the 40,000 spectators and also a great amount of football not of high grade. It was not a great game, nor yet very exciting. Rockne's lads fumbled profusely and in that detail didn't play nearly as well as the Tigers. Their fumbling and' the (Continue A on First Sport Page.)

The statement made in Jersey City today by Joseph J. Devine, former Assistant City Attorney, of this city, that Mr. Coolidge received $250 for his memorial address here in 1923, was confirmed by Arthur C. Bennett, who was treasurer of" the United Patriotic Societies in 1923. "As treasurer of the United Patriotic Societies I was informed what Mr.

Coolidge's honorarium would be," he said in response to questions, "and I drew a check in his name for $250." "Did you mail the check to him?" he was asked. "No, I handed it to Mr. Coolidge myself right after his speech. He thanked me and put it in his pocket." "Did you hand him money for expenses?" "No, I didn't handle that. I remember drawing a check for $-10 and another for $10.

I believe these were cashed and some of this money, was given to Mr. Coolidge for the expense of this trip here." By the Associated Press. Washington, Oct. 25. Henry C.

Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture, died at 4, o'clock this afternoon, at the Naval Hospital, from toxemia, which followed an operation performed last week in an effort to relieve sciatica. He was in his fifty-ninth year. Death came peacefully after long hours of unconsciousness. Medical science had "been unable longer to check the ravages of the malady. At the bedside were Mrs.

Wallace and their daughter, Miss Ruth. No other members of the famjly were in the city. Dr. Joel T. Boone, one of the White House physicians who had been in constant attendance since the Secretary was taken the hospital, issued the following statement.

Passes Away In Sleep. "The Secretary died at 4 P. M. He slept very quietly. Immediate cause of death was bacteriaemia, and the, contributory cause was cholecystitis, inflammation of the gall bladder." President Coolidge late in the day appointed Charles F.

Marvin, Chief of the Weather Bureau, acting Secretary of Agriculture. It was pointed out that the appointment followed a precedent established in the Wilson Administration during the absence from Washington of the Secretary of that department. Howard M. Gore, Assistant Secretary, now absent from the city, will become Acting Secretary on his return to Washington in a few days. Death Shocks Capital.

The death of the Secretary, although expected throughout the day, came as a shock to official Washington and to his many friends in the city and throughout the country. After the operation Mr. Wallace began" to Improve-and it was thought that he was convalescing rapidly. As late as Thursday night the Secretary's- condition was not considered alarming, and at that time Mr. Wallace instructed Dr.

Boope that the Department of- Agriculture might issue a denial of a recurring report that he expected to resign his Cabinet post about the first of the year. The report had persisted and several friends were prepared for such a step because of the Secretary's health. His condition after the operation became serious Friday, as infection developed and the poison spread through-Out the Secretary's system. Despite efforts of the physicians, Mr. Wallace sank Poison In Blood Spreads.

He lapsed into unconsciousness early this morning, and as the hours passed, the physicians, although still clinging to a feeble hope that a change for the better might come, announced that his constitution was weakening rapidly. Shortly before noon It was said his condition "could hardly be more unfavorable," and it was feared that it was only a question how long the heart action could continue. Several times in the afternoon it was thought that Mr. Wallace was dying, but each time the Secretary retained his hold on life's thin thread. Mrs.

Davis, friends of the family. As soon as Mrs. Wallace returned to her home from the hospital, President and Mrs. Coolidge called to offer condolences. President Praises Him.

Later, in a letter to Mrs. Wallace, the President said: "I am writing to you of the shock and the great sorrow that has come to Mrs. Coolidge and myself with the news of your distinguished husband's death. Though we have followed with much solicitude the reports rom the beginning of his illness, it had not seemed possible, until very nearly the end, this great loss should come to the country. i "I need not tell you that all of us that had been associated so long with him share with you in the sorrow which this hour has brought.

His loss will be, indeed, a grief to the entire nation, for his fine qualities and able, untiring services had endeared him to all the people. "Coming from private life to the post of Secretary of Agriculture at a time in which its administration was surrounded by acute and unprecedented difficulties, he brought a particularly effective equipment of wisdom and executive capacity.

A new page in the history of lighter-than-air navigation was written with the return of the Shenandoah.

Not only were the world's records of achievement broken but a greater thrill came to tbe country from the fact that the first American-built rigid airship had made the first voyage across the United States and returned. No other rigid airship has ever navigated over mountain peaks and through passes as the Shenandoah did In its two crossings of the Rockies.

Column 8.) JOHN Topeka, Oct. 25. Everybody coming into Kansas to look into William Allen White's independent anti-klan candidacy for Governor sets his face for a laugh as he crosses the border. What could be funnier than unconventional "Bill" White, after SO years of back-turning upon public- office and good-natured mockery of candidates for office, rampaging for votes, up and down and across this Slate, whose, numerous critics gently suggest that she is crazy, and whose prideful sons half proclaim, half admit that she is -Well, the fact is that there is but one source of more abundant fun in this day and age. That Eource is the regular Republican organization in Kansas as it observes "Bill" White, of which more in another dispatch.

It is funnier than "Bill" can possibly be, albeit the organization is an unwilling funmaker, and "Bill" never tried harder in his life to justify his Fascinating Political Fight. But those who see only the fun of this Kansas fight "Bill's" conscious fun and the regulars unconscious fun are only skimming the fluff off the surface, getting, say, about one-eighth of what pleasure is to be had here. For underlying all the fun is the most fascinating political fight any State has produced in a long time a fight in which a man possessed of real power to think is- charging head-on Into powerful but stupidly pretentious old party or-' ganizations with quite amazing results. When White was making ready to run, early in September, his friends rejoiced at the prospect of a sprightly campaign, and the old party leaders cursed mildly over the introduction of an uncertain element Into the regular order of things. No one thought he could win, and no one was certain whether he would hurt Ben 8.

Panlen, Republican candidate for Governor, or Governor Jonathan -M. Davis, Democratic candidate for reelection, more. Today men are saying that "it does not seem possible that White can be elected over the two machines, but" Result Hard To Fismre. And that is the exact status of the campaign 10 days before election. It really seems impossible that such a campaign as White's can win.

In all human probability it will not win. It may be beaten badly. But One by one he has brought to his Bup-port the most influential, of the town daily papers that are ep numerous in Kansas, and that in the aggregate exert great power in the State, and at the same time produce from their editorial rooms most of the State's popular leaders.

With reference to publication of income-tax returns, Senator La Follette declared that the revelation that Harry F.

Sees Increase In Taxes. Declaring that he believed that these revelations will result not only In a large increase in Federal revenue and a consequent decrease In the tax rate upon honest taxpayers but will als tend to promote a greater respect for law on the part of all classes of citizens. Senator La Follette continued: The publication of these lists is merely the first step In cleaning up the widespread tax dodging which haf been permitted by Democratic and Republican' Administrations. We mean to find out the methods which Iiarry F. Sinclair used to evade payment of Income taxes upon real income, We already know some of the methods.

We7 know that the Hyva Corporation, the book of accounts of which Sinclair refused to produce before the Senate Investigating Committee, was one of his schemes for evading taxes, as, well as covering up corrupt transactions. "By this device Sinclair sought to pay the corporation tax of 12 per cent. Instead of the supertax which properly should be imposed upon his income. When Congress reassembles, we intend to go to the bottom of this matter and find out just exactly how Harry F. Sinclair managed to escape with only $213 personal income tax.

We also are going to find out what Secretary Mellon and other officials of the Treasury Department have done to stop this form of tax dodging. Is Public BusInesM. "The fundamental principle that underlies this whole question is very simple; it is this: Tax paying is public business, and public business ought to be public. Dishonesty and crime thrive in the dark. An efficient lighting system is of greater value in protecting a city from crime than a policemen.

In this same way the light of publicity will promote greater returns to the Federal Treasury and greater honesty in the payment of taxes than a horde of internal revenue collectors. It is also cheaper. "I believe that with the effective publicity of tax returns we eould dispense with a large number of the tax agents who are -now living on the public pay rolls."

In his message to Senator Walsh, Mr. La Follette said "I trust that the Progressives of Montana will unite in their support of your candidacy for reelection to the United States Senate.
