One of the chief reasons for the
Republicans trying to violate the
Constitution in it's colonial policy was
the fear of immigration from the Phil
ippines. Now, however, it has been
demonstrated that natives of the
tropics do not emigrate to the north
erIy countries. Immigration to the
United States from the tropics in the
last ten years has been less than one
per cent. of the total immigration.

Job, still grinning, took his dusky

to brew, completed the cure. and Jobs

pagan as one could wish to see.
When he was thoroughly recovered.
We spoke to him about the city of
Aanoa, and by means Of broken SEN
tences, copiously helped out by ges-
lures, he expressed his willingness to
lead us there. He took n glowing stick
from the fire and drew a chart for us
on the lime washed wall, showing the
position Of the golden city, and quaint
pictures he made, too, Of the houses
and the men and Of the treasures that
were to be had there for the taking.

Fair exchange is no robbery. what are
the terms of the exchange? For an eX-

whose position on all questions vital TO

urged to accept one who has neglected

Never say nothing unless you're com

And now to rise a little higher. Cor
ruption is gnawing at the vitals of the
American municipality. If checked at
all. it must be checked by the sturdy
youth of the rising generation. The
grasp of corporate interests upon the
throat of the American city, state and
national government is daily tight
ened. If loosened at all, IT must
be Ioosened by placing in high
positions those who are convinced that
the people are to rule, and have the
courage to stand by their convictions.
An opportunity to show our disap-
proyaI of existing conditions. to sane
ton a successful opposition to corrup-
ton and greed Is within our grasp.
Mayor Philip J. O'Conne1, champion of
popular rights, has given the lie to the
foundation truth of the cOrruptionist:

shown that the verility of America S

magistrate" I do know that while the
Republican candidate of last year re-
ceived the largest vote ever pOlled by
his party, our present executive sur
passed all records The rank and file
of the Republican voters voted as they
always voted. Those. whose only in
terest in politics was to elect a man Of
unquestioned personality" found their
ideal in "the boy-mayOr,' and that
ideal has yet to be shattered.
To resume: Mayor OConnell reduced
our debt and kept down the tax rate;
but, according to Mr. Sullivan, this
achievement is insignificant when COM
pared with the awful danger of false
hood, which the interested parties nave
long since relegated to the lumber
room of exploded bugaboOs. Mayor
O'Connell has defied corporate greed,
but says Mr.. Sullivan, what Of that,
since he reappOinted Mr. Early in cir
cumstances which forbade any other
course Mr.. O'Connell has been mayor
of the whole city, has mastered every
problem of municipal life from the
street pavement intricacies to the mys-
teries of the grade crossings. But this
knowledge is useless, declares Mr.. Sui
Ivan, If the young man is not magi-
clan enough to distribute 100 licenses to
100 applicants. This, Re1low Demo-
Gratis, is the position of John e. Sulli-
van" Isn't it refreshing?
Perhaps the old saying, Cheating
never prospers," may be exemplified in
this attempt to cheat the public, and
the sequel will not prove so refreshing
to men of Mr.. Sullivan's ilk. Mayor
OConnell has deceived no one He rec
ognizes the high standard of Democrat
ic virtue: He serves his party best
who serves his city best" In the Dem
ocratic convention he declared his de-
termination to continue as mayor OF
the whole city, if reelected. He has
given the lie to the old myth that a
Democrat is a boodleT. and has won a
confidence in Democratic uprightness
and ability which reflects untold credit
upon those who elected him.
Are we to tell him his services are in
vain? That we want heelers, such as

To the Editor Of The Spy
In one Of your issues of last week
a letter appeared in condemnation Of
Mayor O'Connell's candidacy, and to it
was subscribed the Democratic 81
name of John E. Sullivan" The fol-
lowing issue contained q reply which
seemed to dampen the ardor of this
self-constituted critic go that We heard
no more from him for several days.
Suddenly. on almost the last mail be-
fore the opening Of the polls, comes an
appeal ITO the Democratic Voters OF
Worcester" and signed by the same
familiar name, John f. Sullivan"
What means this eleventh hour attack
on the mayor? Perhaps the array Of
facts stirred up last week showed that
the only way to forestall a complete
refutation Of ISLANDERS was TO leave no
time for such action. Skillfully con-
trived. Mr.. Sullivan, but the skill of a
coward who shuns reply does not pre-
vent one Democrat from feeling con-
tempt for the cowardice.
An attack on the mayors Veraclty' q
complete disapproval OF Mr.. Early's ap-
pointment, and low appeal TO those
who failed to obtain liquor licenses last
Nay-these are the strong points OF
Mr.. Sulivan's attack. Isn't that an ar
er1nnentatfve treat for intelligent Vot-
ers2 No word about the mayor pol
lev in office. no reference to his trium-
phant economy, no hint at the open ap-
preciative words of his very opponents,
not a syllable about his determined
stand against corporations! Mr.. Sull-
van treats matters of minor importance
and seems wholly oblivious to the real
state of affairs.
To use Mr.. Sullivan's words: Inc

is on the plane we would naturally eN-
poet from MS nonored profession.
What arguments are set forth that
would tend to change the voter from
his support of the mayor and his eff
cient administration?
Not that of the license commission,
for that is ancient history and has been
well threshed by the citizens.
Not that Of what Mr.. So and So said,
and what the mayor said for that has
been exploded and the citizens are
satisfied that the Hon. Philip J. OCon-
nell has been the mayor of all the citi-
zens, and not of a particular clique.
Not that of Mr.. DeFosse; and Mr.,
Sullivan takes occasion to make a lit
tie fun of that name in parenthesis,
appealing in this way in the most con-
temptible manner to any latent pre-
judice that may exist, forgetting that
Mr.. DeFosse did not have the privilege
of naming himself, however fortunate
Mr. Sullivan may have been in this
respect.
If the mayor is accountable for his
appointments, and Mr.. DeFosse has
not conducted the business of his Office
as he should, why does not Mr.. Sulli-
van show wherein he has been ineffi-
cient. On, no. That is not the argu-
ment Mr.. O'Connell should be defeat
ed because he appointed a man to office
with such a name as "DeFosse."
Mr.. Sullivan wants a Democrat, not
Republican in disguise. Who is to
draw the line and say who is Demo-
crat and who a Republican? Not Mr..
Sullivan or his ilk, who are giving all
the aid and encouragement they can
to put in office a man and party they
are supposed to be opposed to.
In place of referring to a Democrat
as a Republican in disguise, it would
be far more advisable for Mr.. Sullivan
to read up the fable of THE Wolf in
Sleeps Clothing"

A nomination for the office Of mayor
in a city like Worcester. which in the
near future. is going to be the manu-
featuring city of the United States, by
the Republican party which in 80 years
out of 40 has been triumphant at ma
tional elections. is a distinction Of
which the Republican candidate for
mayor in this city may be justly proud.
The Republican party stands for law
and order, temperance and civil right
eousness. for all there is highest and
best in home life and in the life Of
every citizen. I sincerely hope, there
fore. that with all this in view, our
citizens viii roll up a large majority
