Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1904-07-21

New Jersey viii elect governor for
three years, being the only state with a
three year gubernatorial term. Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island will elect a
governor for one year. being the only
states with one year terms. Each of
eighteen Arkansas, Colorado
Connecticut Idaho, Kansas, Maine,
Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New
Hampshire, New York, North Dakota,
South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennes-
see, Texas, Vermont and Wisconsin,
will elect a governor for two years.
1t will be seen that several of the
large states are among the thirteen
which will hold national and congress
sional elections without additional slim
illus of a gubernatorial contest. These
states are Alabama, California, Geor-
gia, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mary
land, Mississippi, Nevada, Ohio, Ore.
gon, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
OF the thirty-two states named above
the Democrats are reasonably certain
to elect governors in Delaware, Florida,
Missouri, Montana, North Carolina,
Rhode Island, Arkansas. New York,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and
Wisconsin twelve. The Republicans
are reasonably certain to elect them in
Washington, Wyoming, Colorado, Con-
necticut, Idaho, Kansas, Maine. Michi-
gan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Massachusetts
and Observation-Disclosures
The contest Will be doubtful in New
Jersey. Nebraska, West Virginia. lii
nois, Utah and Indiana six.
1 am not at all certain that Kansas.
Colorado Washington and Connecticut
should not be placed in the doubtful
column, so far as the gubernatorial con-
tests are concerned. Governors Pea
body of Colorado and Bailey of Kan
sas nave made very unpopular records
Connecticut generally goes with New
York, and if ex-senator Turner is the
Democratic candidate in Washington,
as now seems probable, he will have a
fair chance to win.

Watterson,s View.

Watterson's View.
Henry Watterson, expressing his
opinion under the title of "Paternalism
Running Mad, says:
In connection with the decision of the
postoflce department a few days since
to take steps to eliminate patent medi-
cine and objectionable" advertisements
from the newspapers there is much to
arrest the attention of not only the news
paper proprietors, but the public. If a
little coterie of law clerks in the postof-
flee department are allowed to act as CEN
sors over what kind of an advertisement
shall be printed in a newspaper it looks
to be a high handed and unlawful piece of
despotism. The public has a right to see
what is on the market. whether it is pat
ented or not, and buy it if they see proper.
If they are swindled it is their own af-
fair. This kind of ruling may work
well under a monarchical system of gov
eminent, but not in a free country like
the United States If the postoffice de-
partment officials can say what shall Or
shall not be advertised, the department Of
commerce and labor can make the same
ruling as to the food that we eat or the
clothes that we wear. 1t is all in keep
ing with the presumptive, illiberal and
sumptuary tendencies of the Republican
party.

A Missouri Dynasty.

The Democratic nomination has again
gone east, and, while have no adverse
criticism to make on the selection of
the convention, / desire to reiterate the
statement / have frequently made that
the next Democratic nominee should
come from the south, where lie sixteen
sovereign states containing as good
presidential timber as any of their sis
tiers to the north and east. They can
always be safely relied upon to be
found in the Democratic column and
do not deserve to be punished for that
great virtue.
The late convention nominated an
eastern man, but it didn't greatly miss
nominating a Missourian, for had the
bogus telegram published in the even
ing papers of July 8 proved to be a cor
rect version Of the manly message of
Judge Parker General Cockrell would
have received the nomination and the
long embargo against the south would

which win, and we propose to keep on
hammering for a southerner and a Mis-
sourian in the White House until he
lands, after which it will be no difficult
matter to furnish him fit successors of
the same breed.
These sixteen southern states have
149 Representatives in congress, 50 SEN
ators and 1S1 presidential electors.
Nearly all these are Democrats. The
truth is that these sixteen states fur
nish the backbone of the Democracy
the very flower of the Democracy-in
the United States. TO bar the citizens
of all these sixteen states out is equiv
alent to Furnishing them for being Dem
ocratic- certainly an outrageous and
idiotic performance. If there was ever
any reason for it the reason has long
since passed. A systematic agitation
on the part of these sixteen states is
certain at no distant day to land the
nomination. l shall have more to say
on this same subject from time to time.

made the following declaration:

Not long ago President Roosevelt
made the following declaration:
ANY country whose people conduct
themselves well can count upon our
hearty friendliness If g nation shows
that it knows how to act with decency in
industrial and political matters, if it
keeps order and pays it's obligations, then
it need fear no interference from the
United States Brutal wrongdoing or an
impotence which results in a general loos-
ening of the ties of civilized society may
finally require Intervention by some civ
ilfzed nation and in the western henri
sphere the United States cannot ignore
this duty.
Upon this paragraph the Hon. John
Sharp Williams comments in this Wig
orous and common sense fashion:
The truth is that commercialism ought
to be taught valuable lesson-to wit,
that If it chooses to do business in unsafe
countries, without stable institutions, and
among semibarbarous peoples it does it
with it's eyes open. it takes its own risk,
and the armies and navies of the world,
especially those of the United States, main
tanned by taxing the people, cannot be
used as constables, without warrant or
other process, for debt collection purposes.
Ii choose to buy Dominican or Xenezue-
ian securities or permit HAITI or either OF
the other countries to run in debt to me.
it may be that am a fool from a bust
ness standpoint, but my folly does not en-
title me to have my debts collected by the
navy and army OF the United States, and
the government of the United States ought
not only not to place itself in that atti-
tude. but it ought to go further and an
nounce to the world that, so far as the
hemisphere of America is concerned. at
any rate collections of money obligations
by bombardment must cease.

Convention Halls Too Big.


The greatest national convention of
any party has just closed, and it DEM
onstrated one fact above all else, that
it is utterly impossible for the aceredit-
ed representatives of a great party to
conduct their deliberations with com
fort or speed in hall large enough
to admit thousands of spectators. The
scenes in the convention hail. crowded
to suffocation by 10000 perspiring,
shouting, yelling enthusiasts, proved
beyond all cavil that the big hall plan
is failure | trust that the next
Democratic convention will contain
room for only the delegates, the alter
mates, the officers of the convention,
the representatives of the press, an
ice water brigade and a chaplain. The
confusion of tongues at Babel must
have been a soothing and melodious
sound compared with the deafening
hubbub that tortured the ears of the
chairman of that convention 1t was
almost impossible to make a motion,
usually quite impossible to hear it, and
HothlnS snort OF Dig megaphone
could make half of those present hear
an announcement. The size of the
crowd, the poor acoustic properties OF
the hall, so frequently the case in big
auditoriums, and the enthusiasm of the
countless rooters made it absolutely
impossible to keep order. There is but
one thing to do-reduce the size of the
meeting place SO that it will be impossi-
bic for large numbers to get in. This
seems severe, but when you consider
that 10000 spectators got in out of 200,-
600 who sought admissions it is not so
severe after all. 1t is not much worse
to disappoint all the interested specta-
tors than to disappoint 95 per cent of
them, and that is just what was done
at st. Louis.

Williams on Reciprocity.

In one of his speeches in congress on
Reciprocity last March John Sharp
Williams said:
Men cannot live as nations upon any
different footing from the footing upon
which they must live as individuals, and
nations must prosper and grow and be
loved or be hated for the same reasons
that individuals, in dealing with other in
dividuals, prosper and grow and are loved
or hated. All the Chauvinisrn in the world
cannot change the eternal principle that
in trade relations, as in our other rela-
tions in the world, friendship is better
than enmity, peace is better than war
reciprocity is better than retaliation
You cannot continue always to take and
never TO give You cannot continue al
ways to sell and never to buy. You cam
not continue always to frame your legis-
lation upon an assumption that foreigners
are necessarily enemies and have them
treat you otherwise than as enemies
What is the consequence of all this?
You have gone ON until you have erected
great house that will have to be taken
down very gradually to keep from hurt
ing your own people, and yet taken down
it must be in the course of time not by us
alone, but by all nations in the world
who are INDUCING in the same sort of
laws of corelationship. Every barrier to
travel, every barrier to the access of lit
erature and the productions of art, is
step in the direction of keeping the peo-
pies of the world apart, an obstruction In
the pathway along which they ought to
travel in getting together.
The gentleman may talk: he may pro-
duce abnormal figures, all he pleases, but
| say he is standing today with his face
turned backward toward the time when
foreigners We're regarded as necessarily
enemies and when people thought that If
they had any trade with foreigners at all
everything bought was that much lost.
1t is true also that those of us who are
looking the other way, whether we sue
coed Immediately or whether it be long
time before we succeed have our faces
turned to the future-the future when men
would rather live in aTnity than live at
wharf.-the time when they would rather
Tive and let live treating one another
as trade equals, one buying from the 9TH
err that which the other with his climate
and soil and industrial character, can best
and most effectively and most cheaply
produce, and the other buying from him
that which, with his climate and soil and
peculiar genius he can most effectively
and most cheaply produce.

go, in nearly every case, the election of

Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana,

When one remembers the close rela-
ton that Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
bears to Colonel Roosevelt, he will be
of the opinion that the editor of the
Utica n. " Observer was taking
great risks when he penned this.
Indications are not wanting that there
will be a new face in the United States
senate when Massachusetts elects SEN
ator, and the finely combed whiskers OF
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge win be miss
ing It seems that Senator Lodge has not
pleased the business men of his state by
his attitude on the question of reciprocity.
Particularly he is out of touch with Bos-
ton business men. who have been striy-
ing to arrange a reciprocal trade agree
ment with Canada. This Senator Lodge
has stoutly opposed. Consequently when
he comes to seek reelection Senator
Lodge will find the business interests
throughout the state stoutly opposing
him.
While he was not nominated at st.
Louis, the wonderful demonstrat ton in
Senator CockrelIs behalf demonstrate
ed beyond all question that he is one
of the foremost and most popular men
in all this broad land.
Two of the crack orators of Tam
many, in fact of the country Bourke
Cochran and Charles A. Towne-were
at the convention and spake not,
though invited so to do. There is no
doubt that they will stump the country
for the Democratic ticket.
