Tho state Issues.I

m this campaign the vital national issues
are foremost. They give to IL supreme Inn
portanoe.
State issues there are. also, and the
Rrayest Of these 10 that forced or the peo-
Die by the nomination by the Democratic
party Of candidates., all Of whom voted for
BRYAN In 1899, such . vote being an abso-
lutte prerequisite to their nomination.
The Democratic candidate for Governor
is q brother Of the Mayor OF New York, and
was put up OF the dictation Of Tammany
Hall. Both these VAN WICK brothers were
nominated by the Democracy for the rea-
con, first Of all, that they voted for BRYAN
in 1895, and could be trusted to further the
cause Of the Chicago platform In the future
as In the past. The one VAN WYoK, II he
should be elected Governor, and the other
wax WYcK, who was elected Mayor last
November, would work together as prac-
ideally one man in both offices; 1t could not
be otherwise, and It would be o gross per-
version Of the safeguards Of the Constitu-
'tion. Organized Tammany Hall would rule
both the city and State.
Another State issue, going also to the
essence Of the crucial national issue, Ii the
political character of the United States Sem
ator to be elected by the Legislature to be
chosen at this coming election nyou wants
Bryanite Senator, vote for the Democratic
candidates for the Senateand Assembly and
you will be sure to get him. II you want
the representatives Of New York in the Sem
ate at Washington to stand resolutely for
the maintenance of the gold standard and
against the infamy Of Reputation, 80 de-
structive to all New York interests, you
must Of necessity vote for the Republican
candidates for the Senate and Assembly.
As to the administration Of State affairs
by the Executive office in Albany, the issue
10 between VAN WYoK's clouded word that
hewillbe agood Governor and RoosEyELT's
word and-the universal conviction that he
will be the same.
There Is still another issue, concerning
more directly the city of New York, but Of
the graVest consequence to the whole State.
It ia the purity and Independence OF the Ju-
dietary, and II there were no other issue in
this canvass italone oughtto assure the over
whelming defeat Of the whole Democratic
ticket. Tammany Hall, now ruling both
thecity and the State Democracy, has made
that Issue IN the most insolent fashion. It
10 seeking to remove from the bench ar up
right and distinguished Democratic Judge
of long, able and spotless judicial service
simply because he refused to yield to its
dictation In the appointment Of an officer
Of ibis court. Tammany would administer
TO him that punishment for d~isobedienoe to
It's will in order that o warning may be
published to all Judges that IL they dare to
consider the honor and the independence OF
the judicial bench against its dictation they
WILDE punished likewise.
The Republican party, believing that the
Judiciary should be left independent and
~IncorFuptible, has nominated this Judge,
though ha is a Democrat-Judge DAILY.
Every honest citizen, approaching the vital
Importance Of preserving the purity Of jus.
tioe. must. therefore. perforce, vote for the
Republican Judiciary candidates. Each
Judiciary candidate on the Democratic
ticket is tainted and branded by his asso.
citation with Tammany Hall, and his will.
ingness to accept its dictation is implied In
his acceptance Of its nomination he IL as
sisting Tammany to destroy the purity and
independence Of the Judiciary.
To-day is the second day Of registration,

II it is not already there. 30 that at the
election you may perform your bounder
duty as Q citizen and an honest man.
