Judge Dayton s influence in t

Judge Dayton's influence in the
coming Republican Congressional
convention will be of great weight
and the man who gets it will have a
great advantage. State Senator Ira
w. Robinson, OF Grafton, is a brother
iu-law to Judge D ayton and it seems
quite natural that Mr.. Dayton would
like to have his mant,l fall upon him.
Robinson is also attorney for the Bal
timore & Ohio railroad in Taylor
county and will beyond doubt have
the influence of the big corpor alton,
that helped to elect Dayton SO often,
at his back.

The city of Chicago voted for may
or on last Tuesday and Judge Dunno,
the Democratic candidate was elected
by IS, 900 majority over Harlan Re
publican. The question at issue in
the campaign was the advanced DEM
ocratic idea of municipal ownership
of public utilities with direct refer
ence to the street railways of the city.
The Republican candidate took a
tentative position on the question,
favorable to public ownership at some
future time under some particular
circumstances but Judge Dunno came
out squarely and openly for owner
ship. directly without any evasion or
e1uivocation and his election is a de-
cided victory for the popular idea.
Puplic ownership OF street railways, is
in line with President Roosevelt S idea
of government control of railroad
freight rates and down i his heart he
doubtless rejoices over the result in
Chicago.
Chicago is the second city in the
union and the first who took the de-
ciSed stand OF assuming the RESPONSE
bility of operating her own street
railway This is the most important
step taken by any municipal corpora
ton in the country. 1t is a decided
step and one which the country will
watch with IAN anxious eye. If it
proves success we may expect gen.
eral revolution in the matter of own
ership Of all public utilities through
out the country but if it should fail
then the matter will probably die for
ever.
