COMING STATE ELECTIONS

when a full state ticket will be
elected. The week following Maine
will hold a state election, and politi-
clans will keep their ears close to the
ground to hear the verdict from those
old time Republican states. 1t was
quite generally accepted polite al
axloma decade or two ago, that '.as
Maine goes SO goes the union" but
the wonderful developement of the
west has long since changed the seab
OF political power from the east to
the west. The result in Maine now
a-days islaccepted as foregone con-
clusion. In their heart of hearts all
that the democrats expect to do in
Maine and Vermont is to cut down
the republican plurality and they will
be extremely thankful if they do that
much.
The Republicans are not so blind to
the democratic tactics and are quite
as determined to try to prevent any
Sinking of their vote. Some of their
Dig speakers are down that way now.

little ginger into the campaign. No
reports have been received by the
republicans showing Threatened
danger to the ticket in Maine and the
managers, it is said, do not apprehend
reduction of the vote..'
A Texas editor has hit the right spot

Of it, put it in his pocket and went his

meat bill for ten dollars. The banker
paid the butcher the ten he had found.
The butcher paid the the same ten to
the printer, and the printer to the
grocer and the grocer to the banker.
He noticed thaa it was the same bill
he had found and at the same time
noticed it was counterfeit, Who
was the loser?

Metropolitan for October.

A special feature Of the October
number of The METROPOLITAN MAG
AZINE is a notable study Of the office
of the Chief Executive, by Alfred
Henry Lewis. Mr.. Lewis entities his
paper The Story Of the Presidency"
1t is a remarkable review of American
history as reflected by the successive
occupants of the White House. Care
full pers pective and freedom from pol
iiical bias characteriZ the article, as
do also the authors well-known virile
style and candor Of statement. Mr.,
Lewis's ability to see clearly the true
meaning of things is rivalled only by
his knack of stating, so that every one
can understand him, the things that
he sees and the conclusions he draws.
The first of set OF pastel drawings
by George Gibbs, entitled The Eyol-
ution of an American Girl" which are
reproduced in full color. appear in this
number, together with beautifully
illustrated paper on recent achieve
ments in pictorial photography, and
the fiction, articles, poetry and other
Illustrations. contribute to make this
issue the most interesting number OF
the METROPOLITAN MAGAZINE which

Is This Craftsmanship?

The speech OF candidate Ferris at
Newaygo, as reported in the Detroit
Tribune, is a disappointment to those
who have read that papers praises OF
his large minded and high-minded
qualities. He said, Il know of no
state in the Union where there is
greater opportunity for the betterment
of conditions, than right here in Mich
igan." He did not attempt to prove
this by comparison with South Caro-
lima and Mississippi and Arkansas,
where a majority of the voters are dis
franchised, and burning men alive is a
popular pastime; nor with Colorado,
rent with civil war, nor Montana and
Delaware where voters are bought and
owned wholesale. But Michigan has
greater need Of betterment in cOndit-
ions than they, and why? because 1T
has come to pass that man cannot
run for Office if he is not wealthy
man." Neither did he stop to prove
this by showing the riches Of the pre-
sent officers OF the state and the can
didates who are now running for those
Offices, not ten per cent of whom could
at all be spoken Of as wealthy. But he
passed on in his indictment to topic
that seems to occupy a prominent
place i'm his campaign for reform, and
SAID, "Do you know that there are
officials riding on free railroad passes
and charging it up to the state OF
Michigan, at ten cents a mile?" 1t
may be so, or may no. be so; but II so,
is it ground on which Mr.. Ferris
finds greater need of betterment in
Michigan than in any other state? or
on which the people may be appealed
to to displace republicans from control
in Michigan and enthrene the demo-
Gratis? He evidently thinks so, for me
concludes, "If you don't be;eve in
human rights, if you don 'tbelieve in
direct nominations, don't vote for me
but If you believe in equal rights TO all,
ia the sacredness Of the ballot, then ]
ask suffrage at Jour hands" Is this
the broad-gauge craftsmanship that
| has been so vaunted? or is it very
cheap and ordinary brand OF political
clap-trap?
