studies in Public opinion.

Senator William D. Daily appears to
have learned something about public opin-
ion on Tuesday evening. He went to
Bridgston to open the Reputation cam
paign. Quite a large crowd gathered. no,
to hear him. as it turned out, hut to
look at him. They filed the hail until
he turned on his speech. They then got
up and went out. When the meeting
closed, less than half the original au-
dience remained in the room. There was
no enthusiasm. A little courteous ap-
plause greeted the Senator when he was
presented That was all. The organizers
Of the demonstration went home with a
chill. The meeting had been a dismal
failure.
There was also a lesson in public opin-
ion administered at Pennington, yester-
day, Al the Farmers Picnic. The speaker
who made the hit there was Congress
man McEyxan Of Hudson. whose sound
money talk seemed to warm the cookies
of the farmers hearts.
stfH another lesson in public opinion is

izers are prominent Democrats. It will be

Tie state committee.s cross onsnce.

The member of the State Committee,
who. while they believe in gold, endorsed
silver yesterday, attempted to palliate
their action by the assertion that their
constituents desired them to take that
course. This is. obviously. no mitigation
of their crime. How can men justify the
betrayal Of their country and the stulti-
fIeation of their con~sciences on the
ground that other men desire them to
commit treason2
But, in fact, the constituents of these
State Committeeman do not want them
10 do any such thing. The cheap poll
ticians who make up the majority of the
body simply mistake the clamor of a
fighty rabbie for the voice OF public .opin-
lon The trouble about the average local
party leader in this state is that his
means of Information are deficient. He
hears from only one stratum of society
and that is generally the lowest. He,
therefore, forms his views and bases his
estimates on the lowest possible plane.
It is unnecessary to say that his caIcu-
lations are often sadly astray.
The day after election, these silverites,
FOR expedleney,s sake, viii know more
about public opinion than they do now.
They will realize where their constitu-
entsy really stand or the question Of ma
tional honor and rational finance.
