THE PHILADELPHIA machine suffered crush
ing defeat in Tuesdays election at the hands
Of the reformers, who rolled up a majority of
about 10000 against the old political gang that
has been looting the city for years. In New
York city Mayor Mcclellan, Democrat, was
reelected, while Jerome, the independent can
didate for district attorney, was elected by
handsome plurality. The election was one of
the most exciting ever experienced in that city
Mcclellan was the Tammany candidate and
that organization is charged with perpetrating
the most gigantic frauds in order to win.

The Nebraska Liberal, the new and decidedly
independent paper founded at Creigh
ton, Neb, has these appreciative words to say
for Thomas w. Lawson, who is reported to BIZ
digging his financial grave:
Press reports announce that Thomas W.
Lawson has collided once too often with
Standard OIL and that his fortune has been
stripped from him. II the facts are as bad
as reported 1t Is too bad. Not that any man
should receive sympathy when he loses his
money gambling but Lawson's influence was
for the great good of the great many in his
late campaign and he will be greatly hand-
capped II he has not funds to continue the
fight Whether 1t was Roosevelt fighting
for the square DEAL Jerome for honest courts
or Hearst for the peoples cause, Lawson's
influence and his money was always on the
right side. The question Of gambling and
especially In the necessities of life Is entirely
wrong. 1t is but a few short seasons ago
since the cotton planters Of the south were
burning their cotton on the ground, as the
story was abroad that there was an over
production, but before another crop was
raised the cry went up that there was
scarcity and the price went soaring. few
manipulators have more to do with the price
for the products of the farm than thousand
farmers.

MAYOR DUNE EXPLAINS

Writing to the National Magazine, Mayor
Dunno of Chicago explains how an unfriendly
council thwarted his efforts to secure municipal
of the traction lines. After explaining
his contract plan which contemplated a corpora
ton to act as construction and operating com
pany for the CITY, he says:
Both of these plans were submitted to the
city council on July s. 1905, and referred
by the council to the committee on transporta-
tion. l expressed my preference for the con-
struction plan which called the contract
plan," but the council has taken no action on
either plan. After waiting three months
for some action, / sent several messages to
the council calling thei attention to the vote
of the people expressed at the polls and
respectfully urged them to take action accord
ing to the peoples desire. They have abso
lutely refused to pay any attention to the
same, and the transportation committee
which has the matter In charge, upon It's
own initiative, has invited the present trac-
ton companies to present forms OF ordinances
for the renewal OF their franchises for twenty
years. They are hurrying through these ordi-
nances with the utmost expedition at the
present time. Every move have made In

A remarkable fact regarding the bank
failures which stunned financial Chicago this
week, is the entire absence of sympathy for
Mr.. Walsh, whose personality is unhappily
conspicuous in connection with them. Wealth
has been the sole object of his pursuit, and
now that he loses that he loses ALL 1t was
different with Altgeld, whom Walsh inn
poverished. Altgeld, too was wealthy until
he came within Walsh's power; but when he
had lost all his wealth, he still possessed
assets which wealth could not buy and the
wealthy could not destroy. In the worst
days of his experience, when in hopeless
poverty and under cloud of plutocratic
contempt, Altgeld held the confidence and
affections Of throngs Of honest people, But
Walsh knows none of this. His enemies
gloat over his downfall his victims are pitt
less, and outside of a narrow circle he has
no friends Even business associates who
purred in his presence yesterday are clawing
at him today Chicago Public.
