The Ouay Presidential Boom.

State Treasurer Haywood has for
mally launched a Quay presidential
boom and has invited the various coun-
ties and also the coming state conven-
ton to pass resolutions urging the
Psnnsylvania delegation at st. Louis
to present the Junior senator's name.
Mr.. Haywood adds:
"The old political idea that the nomi-
nee for the presidency must come from
q doubtful state Is erroneous in princi-
pie. There il no good reason, political
or otherwise, why such rule should
obtain. The fact that Pennsylvania
has stood in the very front rank of Re-
publicanism, and has always given her
electoral vote to the candidate of the
party should be and is an argument in
favor of naming her favorite son as a
candidate for president. 1t is all
wrong to think that the candidate
must be chosen from q doubtful state.
Such q theory places premium on
wavsring and uncertain Republicanism
and discounts those stalwart states
which bear the brunt Of the battle. No
man would adopt such rule in his
business affairs, and there Is no greater
reason why 1t should be operative in
political matters"
Az to the desirability Of the Pennsyl-
vania delegation voluntarily acting
together at st. Louis as unit in all
thiu0a roo ooou hIo nd rfnbt fhara ,op
be no question. Senator Quay's own
declaration some weeks ago, that he
was mot fit to be president and could
not for thirty days survive the pres
sure Of the office" seemed then to put
his candidacy out Of the question. At
that time. In recognition Of the propri-
ETY. OF q Pennsylvania candidacy. many
Republicans urged the claims Of Cover
nor Hastings; but against this there
seem since to have arisen difficulties
that appear to render 1t futile. Whether
the present announcement of Mr.. Hay
wood is to be construed as mean
ing that Senator Quay has re-
considered his original deliverance
and would under certain condi-
tions become q receptive candidate,
or whether It is merely the voicing Of a
personal tribute is not yet disclosed.
The important point is its recognition
of the propriety Of united action by the
Pennsylvania delegation at st. Louis:
and to this proposition there viii be
general assent. .N s.4 !.
Tho cordial indorsement by Governor
Hastings OF the movement in the sena-
tors behalf shows that It would COM

r1Oney in Campaigns.

Senator Garfield, son of the martyr
president. has introduced into the Ohio
senate an elaborate bill designed to
overcome. to large degree. the i'm
proper use of money at elections. 1t
provides, in brief. that every candidate
and every political committee shall
publish within a stated time after cleo
tion an itemi2ed report Of the amounts
of money by them expended for the
purpose of the campaign in which they
were engaged. These expenses are to
be reported not only for the election,
but for the contests in which the nomi-
nations for those offices are won. All
reports are to be made under oath.
The amounts that candidates may ex-
pend and not be ineligible for the office
to which they are elected are set forth
upon graded scale, according to popu-
lation.
The principal merit Of such corrupt
practices act, as demonstrated in states
where the experiment has for some
time been on trial, is in the opportunity
which 1t extends to candidates of re-
lease from the badgering of partisan
suckers" who make practice of prey
ing upon every man who aspires to Of
flee. A goodly share of the money
spent nowadays In politics Is known at
the time Of its expenditure to be, in all
probability. money wasted on chronic
leeches who, by one pretext or another.
bother their victim until, to free himself
from their pertinacious appeals, he buys
immunity by the profier OF cash. This
money does not go to the corruption of
voters: 1t simply feeds a corruption
which already exists, under circum-
stances making it difficult for the can
didate to refuse to be bled.
Where there is deliberately vicious
determination on the part Of the candi-
date to spend money for culpable pur-
poses, 1t is doubtful If any law. how
ever sklllfully wOrded,. or any system,
however carefully devised, can inter-
pose an effective barrier. Indeed, the
amount of money so spent bears only a
small relationship to the amount which
is expended for purposes in themselves
innocent but vicious in their general
trend. such as the courting of popular
favor at picnics, fairs. and the like,
and the employing of deputy boomers
to emphasize their hired laudation with
treats" of various kinds. A stringent
corrupt practices act would give the
decent candidate an excuse behind
which to shelter himself from monetary
drains of this character; and to this
extent would doubtless work desirable
reforms.
