INVESTIGATION DEMANDED.

Accompanying the new Democratic war-cry,
"Out with the rascals," frcm which so much is
expected, goes the demand for a searching in
vestigation of official dishonesty by the next
Democratic House of Representatives. In
deed, if the next Presidential campaign is to
be carried on upon the idea that the Repub-
lcans are rascals," and as such must be driven
out of Office, the uext Democratic House can
hardly avoid setting on foot in designations In
all the Departments and in all directions in
order TO establish the fact of their rascality.
1t would not do for a Democratic House to
neglect or refuse to investigate the charges Of
rascality which they make themselves, and
upon the strength of which they propose 10 go
to the people for verdict against the party in
power Not to investigate; not to offer to
prove the rascalitits they charge; not to make
any attempt to uneartl the dishonesty and cor

THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES NEW YORK
The Pennsylvania Republicans have done
admirably. They have nominated strong and
popular ticket and given their nominees an I'M
equivocal, unimpeachable platform to stand
upon. With differences healed, with a common
desire for victory and a common purpose TO
achieve it, they begin canvass whose In
evitable issue will be an overwhelming defeat
of their opponents.
Will our New-York Republicans do as we'll
That is the question that the country Is asking
to-day We believe it can be answered Ill the
Affirmative. The information that reaches us
from all parts of the State warrants the good
hope that the coming convention will do Its
best. And New York State Republican Con-
vention never did its best without organizing
victory. disposition is generally manifested
to send faction to the rear and call old-fash-
iuned Republicanism to the frOnt-the Repub-
licanism that antedates the unfortunate day
when one part of the party began to call the
other part =" Half Breed" and in turn was itself
styled @Stalwart." Such a disposition has only
to assert itself vigorously in the convention to
insure results that will be as wise and harmoni-
GUS as those just achieved in Pennsylvania.
There is everything in the political situation
TO stimulate the New-York Republicans. The
record made 10y the present Republican State
officers during the term which is soon to expire
has been at all points creditable. They have
been good and faithful public servants. 10
marked contrast has been the impression made
upon the people 10y the representatives of the
Democratic party that controlled the Senate
and Assembly of 1928. Those Legislators
were models of inetiicency. They shlrked
their most important duty, neither reducing
nor cqualizing taxation.
1t will be easy for the New York Republicans
to beat themselves this fall. They can do so
without half trying. But il they present
united front and make an aggre campaign,
the Democratic party certainly cannot beat
| them. The victory to be won is of large I'M
portance in itself and will render Republican
success in the great Presidential struggle Of
next year all the easier Our friends in every
county realize all this and can be counted upon
to come together in the right spirit and mako
the most of their opportunities. We have no
fear of the result.
