u 'oN f.M POkAkn surely
is not as stupid as ii appears.
1t knows enough OF third
party candidates. to know
that. while entirely hopeless in them
selves. and not within the rcmotest
possibility Of election, they often draw
enough votes from the Republican
party to elect the Democratic ticket.
In the case of Colonel Hitchcock no
man at all familiar with the political
probabilities assumes that he is likely
to get the more than 10000 votes nee
cssary to eject in a triangular fight.
That would take an average of nearly
60 votes for each precinct He may get

among personal friends. although we
doubt 1t; but there will be scores of
districts in which he will get fewer
than 10 and other scores in which his
vote will range from > TO o. We have
heard no estimate from any careful
student of political conditions in this
county which placed the Hitchcock vote
above 100: most estimates place it be-
low 1,0O0---in the neighhorhood of 500,
the Prohibition strength.
We repeat that there Is not the re-
motest possibility of Colonel Hitch
cocks election. lie has absolutely not
a reasonable hope of leading either the
Democratic or the Republican candi-
date. But what he might do. if Repub-
leans are not watchful. is to pull
enough votes from Carpenter TO elect
Newcomb. Should the fight between
Carpenter and Newcomb be close it
would not take many votes to do this.
Fifty or Il hundred might do it. They
would be useless 10 Colonel Hitchcock.
But if they elected Newcomb judge for
ten years those Republicans who cast
them would. the day after election be-
gin to regret their lapse from party
regularity and they would continue to
regret il for an entire decade.
We do not realize that any "wave of
sympathy" is flowing toward Colonel
Hitchcock. There are no evidences of
it. Here and there you meet men who
have not investigated the party rules
and customs governing primary cleo
tions and who have been temporarily
impressed by the ColonelS claim that
he was iocled off the Republican
track. But put the facts before them
fairly and suuarely, and the impress
sion disappears. 1t has no substantial
foundation. 1t is wholly imaginary.
Altogether it will not influence 100
votes throughout the county. Yet we
are reluctant to see even as few as 100
good Republicans led astray. If we can
prevent it. they shall not be. That eX-
plains why we are treating of this
matter at some length.

conclusive proof that it is in

White had found it necessary 10 sur

spirit which every true soldier should

him commander of that corps in the
first place was questionable. lie had
been tried in action and found wanting.
His career in South Africa, from mill
tary standpoint, had been failure. He
had done his best. but circumstances
and some exceedingly capable Boer
generals had been against him and had
CONQUERED him. 1t was an unmiltary

him the highest field command al

But having made this mistake, the
British war office makes another and a
greater in utilizing the preteXt afforded
by Buffers speech to humilate him.
That speech was unpopular because it
revealed the weakness of the British
campaign for the relief of Ladysmith.

Times that causes it to
say that the state de-
rives no interest on state funds
Banker Lynett ought to know better
Three years ago the legislature passed
bill requiring the conversion of this
interest into the state treasury. A Re-
publican member drew the bill and a
Republican governor signed it.
The fact remains that not dollar of
state money has ever been lost or stolen
under Republican management Of the
Pennsylvania treasury. All kinds of
charges have been made. But there
the record stands. We challenge the
Times to name a state in the Union
with a better record. 1t cannot name
one. 1t can only rehash the scandal
which the courts have pronounced
false and by the persistency of its
defamation hope to confuse a few
voters who never hear the other side
If there We're q chance for the state
treasurer to get his hands into the

his crowd would be supporting u Re-
publican for that office? Not a bit of
1t. They would be going for it Them
selves. 1t is not a Democratic habit
10 support Republicans for offices of
profit. The best proof that under the
law as it stands the state treasurer has
no chance to iuggle with the moneys

of their own number. We doubt that
