There is no doubt but that the dem
ocrats are doing their best to steal the
next House Of Representatives. They
have robbed West Virginia Of duly
elected Republican representative. In
Louisiana they are trying to do the
same thing. In North Carolina, in a
district that is notoriously republican,
they have cheated a member out of his
seat. Certificates have been granted
to half dozen defeated democrats
These are facts. No one denies them.
They are a part of the plot to keep the
popular branch of Congress in the pos
session of the democracy, But will the
republicans submit to it We say it is
the democratic party that is doing these
things, but it is really the South and
Northern democrats acquiesce. II is
part of the old feud, manifestation
of the rule or ruin spirit that has al
ways prevailed in that section. 1t has
plunged the country into one ruinous
war and if it is still pursued it may
make farther trouble. The republican
party will tolerate great deal of in
justice but some day it will strike back
and the blow will be felt. We do not
believe the people of this country are
going to suffer the government to be
run by political thieves and assassins
right along continuously. And il is
about time for change. And there
are signs that a change win be brought
about before long ,peaceably if it can be,
by war if necessary. There is no ques-
ton but that there is danger ahead, land
how to get through it or around it is
matter tor the incoming administration
to determine.

The gentleman from Waterbury, the
Hon. Edwin F. Palmer, was elected
state superintendent OF schools under
the new law. Inasmuch as he was OPP
posed to the bill and worked against its
passage his election would indicate that
the sentiment in favor of the measure
was not very strong among the MEM
bers. Mr.. Palmer is highly spoken Of
and has made a good record in the ses-
sion Just closed. He is a lawyer in
good standing, has been supreme court
reporter for the last eight years, is
man of liberal education, scholarly
tastes, and is said to be a good speak
er. His appointment to this position
meets with general approval. The on
ly Objectionable feature that we can
discover is the fact that Mr.. Palmer is
a member of the Legislature and some
of the state offices ought to be given to
men who are so unfortunate as not to
be elected to that honorable body.

Some of the Southern leaders inti-
mate that if the North insists upon a
free ballot and a fair count there viii
be trouble ahead. That is just what
the North should insist upon so far as
federal elections are concerned, even if
it be necessary to disfranchise the en-
tire section. We do not say that if the
negro did not already have the right of
suffrage we should be in favor of grant
ing it except upon certain conditions,
ana those conditions should apply to
black and white alike. But as it is we
believe the general government should
protect every man in all the rights con-
ferred upon him. just so long as the
colored vote of the South is suppressed
in any way an injustice is done to the
North. That injustice has been infict-
ed for long time, but it is about time
to put stop to it. The South can
but it should be compelled to
submit to a course that is fair and hon
orable.

ISSUE IN THE STATE OF NEW
YORK.

The Republicans In the empire state
of New York have taken position in
the coming general election which will
attract much attention. Next to the
election of President and Governor,
the chief issue will be "high license"
Warner Miller. the Republican candi-
date for Governor, declares high Ii.
cense to be the issue In ths state. The
platform adopted by the Republican
state convention indicates the same.
1t does not appear that the Republi.
cans of that state will receive support
from the Prohibition party In this eff
fort to secure high license: that party
will not stop short Of national prohibit
ton. 1t Is alleged the whisky interest
in the state of New York make boast
of having the control Of legislative AZ
fairs of the state. This very naturally
arouses the activity Of the people TO-
purge the empire state Of that charge.

nial of any single one of them; there.

COST OF PRESIDENTIAL CAM.
PAIGNS,

The cost of Presidential campaigns,
which was briefly discussed in this
paper two weeks ago, is being made
apparent every day. 1t is estimated
in leading journals that more than
$1,0O0.0 900 will be expended for oratory
alone between this and November
next. Candidates who are in nominal
tiOn for Office are expected to charge
nothing for political speeches, but only
fraction of these are fair stump
speakers. The price for a single speech
depends on the reputation and orator.
cal powers of the speakers. Reed, of
Maine. Cox, of New York, McKindley,
of Ohio. are offered from 1928 to $3.50
for q speech. Some of the ablest
speakers, it is said, are paid from $500
to $500 per week and expenses. But

The committees pay $50 a night. There
