CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

The republicans have and for over
two years at least will have full con-
troll of the government. They have
a duty to perform if they are not
above public sentiment. If they are
still within range of the popular
will, they will assuredly see to it
that the collection and distribution
of campaign funds is regulated by
law and made public within a reas-
enable time. Public sentiment de-
mands such a law, and it will sup
port and executive one no matter
how drastic it may be.
Other countries have such laws
England forbids corporations to con
tribute to campaign funds. There
will of course be plenty of ripgsters
who will hop up to declare that con-
gress has no power over national
committees. If not, then it has no
power over the selection of electors.
The republican managers have no
trouble in finding constitutional sup
port for any project they may desire
to carry out, and if they look closely
they will e a way to exercise the
authority mentioned.
Certain it is that neither party can
go into the next campaign using
funds drawn from tariff-bred trusts.
The scandal is too deep and far
reaching; any party that ptactices it
would go into a canvass heavily
handicapped. The revolt against the
evil is widespread, extending to and
both parties, and it will
not down.
The responsibility for the present
of things rests upon the repub-
llcan party. 1t developed it. 1t dis
covered the vile way of securing
campaign funds, and the duty of put
ting al. end to it rests upon it. Will
it do it? We shall see.

But This is Different.

The Evening News has not always
considered Fred NJ. Warner the BAD
man it has pictured him. On two diff
ferent occasions, at least, during Mr..
Warmers public career, this newspa-
per that is now so bitterly assailing
him, took occasion to warmly COM
mend his official acts.
Note the following from the News,
reviewing the work of the legislature
of 1895. published May 81, 1895, after
Fred NJ. Warmers first term as sena-
tor: "While the term corporation will
always be associated with the legisla-
ture of 1895. and deservedly, too, it Is
only fair to say that there was re-
spectacle minority in both houses,
which. it had been able W shape the
course of affairs, would have made a
brighter history. Such senators
warner (and seven others, naming
them. and thirteen members of the
house. naming them were the more
conspicuous of the little group at each
end of the capitol whose course was
uniformly the reverse of that marked
out by the machine and other corpora
ton lobbyists"
After Fred NJ. Warmers second term
as senator.
From the Detroit Evening News,
June 1, 1897:
"There has been a small minority in
the senate that has all along resented
the patronizing way Thompson talked
about them and of his ability to swing
the majority for or against any bill
as he pleased. They are Republicans
like Warner land five others. naming
them. Their districts will make no
mistake in re-electing them"

The Governor of Michigan Must be q
Man Who Will Support the
President,

It looks a little incongruOus to cou-
pie the name OF Ferris and Roosevelt,
as the leaders of the Democratic party
In Michigan are doing. The former
says that he will do what little he can
20 defeat the favorite of the Republi-
cans, he will vote for Parker, but he
Is trying to get the support Of these
same Republicans to elect himself.
This, in the vernacular,. Is called
working both ends against the mid
de-" but 1t does not often win when
the middle" is appraised Of what is go
Ing on.
The Democratic leaders are giving
out that they are not making any at
tempt to poll large vote for Parker
In this state, that they are giving
Roosevelt quasi-support, and for this
reason they want Republicans to vote
for Ferris. In other words they want
the Republicans of Michigan to place
man in the gubernatorial chair who
Is opposed to everything President
Roosevelt stands for, and who, as the
governor of Michigan, will use all the
influence that position gives him to
embarass the Republican national adj
ministration.
The names of Ferris and Roosevelt
cannot be brought together with rea-
son. A man who votes for the form
err should in all reason vote against
the latter. No man can vote for Fer
ris without doing injury to Roosevelt,
because the president needs the moral
support of the governors Of all the
states who are in sympathy with his
policies. A Ferris man cannot be
Roosevelt man, nor can a Roosevelt
man be a Ferris man, in the sense Of
being a man who believes in certain
political principles governing political
action.
Roosevelt and Warner are names
which harmonic because they are the
names of men who believe in the
same political principles. When Pres
dent Roosevelt wishes the moral sup
port of the governor of Michigan to
carry out his national policies, he can
call on Governor Warner for such aid
as he may desire. But what could he
do in this regard if it should happen to
be Governor Ferris instead of Gov
ernor Warner? What could he do?
There is no question but what Roose-
velt will be triumphantly elected. and
he has the right to expect that the
State of Michigan which will give him
not less than 100000 plurality, shall
stand back of him by giving him the
moral support of Republican state
administration. This is something ev-
cry individual voter should think about
and especially every voter who is go
ing to vote for ooseyelt.-Muskego

THE POWER OF A GOVERNOR.
PRIMARY ELECTION is NOT THE
ONLY ISSUE IN THIS CAM
PAIGN.
There Are Others That Republicans
Should Well Consider Cover
nor Cannot Enact Laws.

The Grand Rapids Herald, in its Is.
sue of October IA. makes the following
very pertinent suggestions:
Though talking primary election law
continually the Democrat candidate for
governor has to admit that he could
not as governor enact one. Why does
not he discuss the things a governor
can do. instead of floating on abstract
theories?
Mr.. Ferris as governor could. If
senatorial vacancy occurred, appoint a
Democrat to the seat to serve until the
meeting of another legislature. In
this way his appointees could hamper
national policies and become formid-
able obstructionists. How would you
like Dan j. Campau instead of Burrows
Or Alger handling national legislation?
A Democrat governor could also I'LL
many state Offices, in no way connect
ed with primary reform, with his ap-
pointees. The appointment of railroad
commissioners, insurance commission
er, labor, banking and pure food COM
missiOners, oil inspector and members
OF many boards would fall to him, and
Instead of getting Republican efficien-
cy the state would have it's affairs in
the hands of men inexperienced and
incompetent. Long established poll
cies would be overturned and the in
terests Of the people would suffer.
1t is the legislature not the governor
that enacts laws. The state Is as sure
Of primary election legislation under
Warner as under Ferris, and 1t Is very
likely the legislation would be just as
comprehensive. Mr.. Warner would
sign any bill that comes to him from
the legislature.
But is primary election the only is
sue in Michigan? Are not efficiency
in the administration of state affairs
n all departments, economy in the ex-
penditure of public funds, good sense
Ind soundness in shaping public poll
,ies, wisdom in the management of the
public institutions-are not these also
issues in this campaign?
The election of Fred M. Warner for
governor will insure continuation of
the safe and sane policies that have
made Michigan what it is today, one of
the greatest states in the union. A
Democrat in the executive office will
mean discord and confusion in all
branches of the state government, in
efficiency and wastefulness. It would
be a backward step and experience in
the past should warn Michigan against
steps of that kind.

months ago Commissioner Darlington,

eases of this character. induced the
city to appropriate $4,000 for the or.
ganization of a committee to assist
the city of New York in fighting tness
diseases. The commissioner there.
upon required the aid Of the medical
men who with him make up the CON-

THE HISTORY OF THE DEMO-
CRATIC CANDIDATE.

Twelve years ago. the present Dem
ocratic candidate for governor, an ar
dent free trader. was denouncing the
Republican principle of protection and
promising peace and prosperity If we
could have -four more years of Gro
ver.' We got the Grover, but even Mr..
Ferris can't remember the prosperity.
Eight years ago, Mr.. Ferris. ramp
ant free silverite, was denoucing the
"crime of 49," and promising finan-
cial ruin If Mckinley should be elect
ed. Mckinley was elected, but it
would embarass Mr.. Ferris to point
out the ruin. -Four years ago, Mr. Fer
ris. a frantic antiimperialist was de-
claring that McKinley's election
would mean the fall of popular liberty
before the encroachment Of the monop-
elistic octopus. Mckinley was elected,
but liberty is still enthroned in Big
Rapids and other states north Of Ma
son and Dixon's line. Now Mr.. Fer
ris is equally sure of the malign re-
suits of machine rule If the Republi-
can party should be left In control any
longer. but the people have heard his
cry of wolf too often to be greatly dis
turbed by 1t.
