WILSON'S MAN DEFEATED.
The' Wlleon adniinistration re¬ ceived a shock in the second congres¬ sional district of West' Virginia a few days ago "when Oeorge M. Bowers, Republican, was elected lo the House of Representatives, ll was a special election called to llil the vacancy caused by the deatli of Congressman Wiiliani G, Brown. Brown was a Democrat and was elected in tiie fall of 1914 by a plurality of 1,:J.')0, His opponent was Bowers, who has Just been elected to succeed liim. For the special election Just held, Samuel V. Woods was the Democratic candidate and a special appeal was made to the Democratic voiers to support hini as an endorsement of the federal ad¬ ministration. He was beaten by 300. The Progressives who ran a candidate in 1911 ran no candidate this year and most of them voted the Republi¬ can ticket. The past year has fur¬ nished plenty of illustrations ot what is going lo happen to the Democratic ticket next .November. This is Just another one.
The reasons given by a Soulliern clergyman for declining a nomination for Congress on a free trade platform gives a pretty fair Indication of how thinking men in the Soulh regard that issue. Said lie: "As a preacher, I cannot accept. If I tell free traders the truth they will become convicted of their sins and I'll have to stop my campaign and -hold a revival. If I tell the truth on free trade the cliurch will revoke my license for using -^language unbecoming a minleter."
It wiil not be long before some en¬ terprising newspaper wiil offer a prize for the man who conies closest to guessing how many Democrats will support lhe Republican candi¬ date for President. There will be a lot of them.
In 1888, clubs composed of Demo¬ cratic workingnien all over the coun¬ try participated in Republican cam¬ paign parades and on election day tbeir inembers voted for Benjamin Harrison because they were sick of the Mills tariff law and wanted to re¬ turn to power the party that has al¬ ways stood for the protection of American Industries. The same thing occurred in 1896 when the men who pay wages and the men who earn wages made common cause to oust from power the party responsible for the Wilson taritt law. As like causes produce like results the same thing is due to happen again this fall.
Including $707,448.13 appropri¬ ated for paying the bil^s of the consti¬ tutional convention for printing and adveirtising the proposed (sonstitu- tlon. the total legislative appropria¬ tions this year were 12.282,781.46 or leas than three and nine tenths per (»nt. of the total appropriations made by the Lefrlslsture of 1916. Exclud¬ ing the item for paying the bills of the constitutional convention, the total leslalatlTe appropriations were 41,S76,88S.S3, or aboat two and six
With the great nations of Europe spending about a hundred millions of dollars a day to carry on the war, with millions of that nioney pouring into this country for food, clothing, horses, mules, ammunition and sup¬ plies of everji' conceivable variety, it requires orily twmmon sense to real¬ ize what Ut going to happen to this country when this enormous demand ceases with the close ot the war.
With the ending of hostilities hosts of workingmen now in the armies will return to industrial work. They will cease to be merely consumers and will become producers. The one greal need ot every country now at v.ar will be money: money to live and to re-establish credii.
As a result of the enormous war business done by this country the United States will be overflowing with money and it ia here that all Europe will come to sell Its goods.
American produce and. manufact¬ urers now going abroad will not be reiiuired llien as they are now, Europe will no longer be our market but on the contrary our own home market will be coveted by Europe, Botli Gerniany and France already liave protective tariffs and England is ready to adopt pfoteclion. The l'nited States has no protective tariff, its market is wide open. It is a most desirable condition of affairs for .Europe but most undesirable for all wiit'o have to earn tlicir living in the I'nited Stales,
Tlie American policy of prepared¬ ness should include preparedness tor the conditions that will follow the close of the Eupropean war.
A FORCIBLE REMINDER.
Comptroller Travis is the author of the following clear and concise description of the activities of the three Democratic administrations in tills state which preceded the pres¬ ent administration:
"The power which had been given to occupants of liigh offlce, and which should have been em¬ ployed for the permanent ad¬ vancement ot state institutions, had been made the medium of temporary political proflt. Leg¬ islation had been enacted for the ostensible purpose of improving the conditions of labor, ot agri¬ culture and or th' g( neral health nf the public and to cliange the methods and machinery of nom¬ inations and elections, all of whicii was paraded before the public as 'constructive' legisla¬ tion, when in reality it was merely the creation of avenues of approacli to the public treas¬ ury, by which payrolls were en¬ larged, patronage was multi¬ plied and the cost ot government was enormously increased. New functions of government were initiated, which gave the ap¬ pearance of Justifying new ap¬ propriations, but the records show that these appropriations were used in sucli a manner as was calculated to do the most good on primary and election day.s. It requires no tax upon the memory to recall the scan- ilals of highways and canals and the culniinalion of indecency and dishonor in the notorious impeachment trial," For the restoration ot honest and efflcient government, the credit be¬ longs to tlie present state administra¬ tion.
TAMMANY IN THE COMING CAMPAIGH.
It begins to look as though the candidates tor the two most import¬ ant placea on the Democratic state ticket would be Judge Samuel Sea¬ bury for Governor and Michael J. Walsh of Westchester county for Comptroller.
Judge Seabury is now on the bench of the Court of Appeals with a term extending to 1928.
Michael J. Walsh was deputy Comptroller for four years under William Sohmer,
Both are men ot ability, Walsh is lhe Democratic leader in Westchester county, is personally very popular and is a staunch supporter of Tam¬ many.
Judge Seabury has run twice for tbe Court of Appeals, wae defeated the first time and won the second. In 1913, he ran on the Progressive ticket receiving 193,798 votes. Abram I. Elkus, the Democratic candidate, re¬ ceived 564,831 and Frank H. His¬ cock, Republican, 635,998. In 1914 he was nominated for associate Judge ot the Court of Appeals on the Demo¬ cratic, Independence League and Pro¬ gressive tickets and defeated Judge Emory A. Chase, Republican, receiv¬ ing 650,468 votee to 594,414 for Chase. A month later he was ap¬ pointed associate Judge of the Court of Appeals by Qovernor Olynn in place of Wiiliam B. Hornblower, de¬ ceased. The preaent cbairman of tbe J)emo-
eratic state committee, Edwin S. Harris, was associated with Walsh as a deputy Comptroller under Sohmer. He is a atrong adherent of Tammany and waa 6ne of the managers of Oor¬ emor Glynn's campaign in 1914. His election as chalrfflKn of the Demo¬ cratic state committee last month demonstrated Tammany's control of the committee and was the flrst open move in state politics that Tammany has made eince its smash-up in the 1914 campaign.
There is no question that Tam¬ many can name a ticket to suit itself. There isn't even the old-time possi¬ bility of a fight in the state conven¬ t'on because nominations are no longer made In state conventions. For pacificatory purposes Tammany is likely to be more or less liberal with such places as it does not really want, but it seems to want a New York City man for Governor this year and It wants very badly Indeed the Comp¬ troller's ofllce.
By picking a Judge of the Court ot Appeals to head the ticket Tammany hopes to dim the memory of the Dix, Sulzer and Glynn administrations by pointing to the eminent respectabil¬ ity of the leading candidate.
OPINIONS OF STATE EDITORS.
It has been Justly remarked that New York City pays 70 per cent, of the taxes, controls 80 per cent, of the resources, gets 90 per cent, of the beneflts and does 100 per cent, of the complaining.—Wayne Counly Jour¬ nal.
New York papers complain that the up-State derives tlie long end of benefit from the good roads appro- 01 latlons, censure tlie Legislature for pai^sing appropriations for road con¬ struction, and urge that New York Cily, which "receives not eine penny of road money," should have a share.
The up-State counties might with e(|ual grace, if they wished lo reply in kind, point out that they receive no b^n^flt whatever from the barge canal, which is designed for the sole accommodation of New York and Buffalo. , If the people of the State wero to take the same narrow view of things that is taken in Manhal¬ tan, they would urge that these two cities should defray the entire cost of the big dilcli.
The people, however, voted for "oads, and the canal, on the ground that both would beflet the general public and should bcr'a general lax. The roads infinitely more than the barge canal are of uniform zenelll. There is no monopoly of good roads; New Yorkers use them as much as anybody else,—Auburn Advertiser Journal,
All the appeals of patriotism, all the manifest perils of the time, make no impression on the Democralic leaders in the House of Representa¬ tives.
The legislative as well as the exec¬ utive branch of tlie government ap¬ pears to have fallen into control of tiie same type of men that made the history of the Buchanan administra¬ tion,— Buffalo Express.
Hirsch Speaks for the Mitchell.
This story concerns the Freeport Garage and Supply Co, of Brooklyn avenue- .managed by Joseph Hirsch, an all round automobile man wilh plenty of experience. This company is the agent for Moon and Mitchell motor cars, two of the moet talked of machines on the market. It will be worth your whiie to read the ,adver- tisements of the cars in other columns of this issue.
The garage and supply company carries a full line of supplies and modern equipnient. They have facili¬ ties for doing the best vulcanizing in the shortest amount of time. Sit¬ uated as they are in close proximity to liie depot, and having as they have over 200 square feet of storage space, they afford the best opportunity in the village, for the owner who would drive his car lo the train in the morn¬ ing and to Ills home upon his return from the clly at night.
And moreover their prices for parts and supplies are not padded; they are in fact quite reasonable.
