FRIDAY. MAY IS. 1906.
Another Bad Year for Bosses.

There is more evidence that this
is going to be bad season for the
political boss and his little ma
chine. The tendency of the people
to keep awake when it is long past
time for them once more TO doZe
off and lose interest, may well con-
cern the politicians. Last year was
a very bad one for what in polite
term is called the organization in
politics, which means the monopoly
of political power, pull, and perqui-
sites This spring opens with indi-
cations of equally fOrbidding condi-
tions.
One of the symptoms was dis
played out in the little State of
South Dakota on Tuesday. That
State has had for years a perfec-
ton of machine rule hardly sur
passed anywhere. Marcus 4. Hanna
founded the machine there, being
inspired to especial interest in the
affairs of that modest community
because il had produced Richard
Franklin Pettigrew. his pet aver
sion. Determined to have the po-
litical scalp of PettigreV. Hanna or
ganized for a fight. on him, person
ally invaded the State in 1900. and
accomplished his enemy's rout The
organization perfected for that
fight has been perpetuated in full
powerful this week.
With that fatuouE incapacitv,
characteristic of machines, to un-
derstand what the outside public is
thinking about, this South Dakota
machine issued an edict that SEN
ator Gamble would not "do." He
wasn't a good enough organization
man. He didn't take orders with
proper grace, nor did he always fol-
low them. So he was read out. and
the organization made Congressman
Martin its candidate for the Senate.
All the powers of politics lined up
against Gamble, headed by the rail
roads, Senator Kittredge, and the
Congressman from the State 1t
was Gamble against everybody.
Except the people. The people
rallied to the man whom the bosses
had rejected The fight has been
on for nearly a year, and on Tues
day, in the primaries, which were
held simultaneously all over the
State, the people smashed the ma
chine, defeated the bosses, and
overwhelming declared for Gam
BILE He and his friends will con-
troll the State convention. As thev
had the opposition of the entire
ofhciary of the State, their victory
means that everybody viii be turned
out and complete ticket of new
men named-Congressm COVER
nor, and minor State officers. It is
probably the most complete revoIu-
tion that has been wrought in anv
State In a single campaign. 1t has
not the national significance that
would attach TO a similar PevoIu-
ton in one OF the great States
whose politics commands larger
public attention; but it does sug-
gest strongly that the people are
going to be awake this year.

A POOR REHEARSAL.
Wherein William Collier Bluffed His
Wife Out of Raise in Salary.

John e. Hogarty manager of the Oar
ling of the Gods company. which is
playing at Convention hall. tells a story
about William Collier and his wife.

of having actually happened. This ex-

CARTER TAKEN IN,
SAYS ATTORNEY
Counsel for Government De-
scribes Alleged Conspiracy
GaynOr and Greene.
MADE OFFICER BELIEVE
HE WAS SECOND EADS
Lent Him Money at First, Grad.
ually Working Into Great
Scheme.

SAVANNAH Ga, Jan. 20.-Assist-
ant Attorney Marion Erwin upon the
convening of the Federal court today
indicated to the jury the course the
Government would follow in present.
inG It's case against Greene and Gay
nor. He said that 1t would show In
support of the charge Of conspiracy,
that the defendants came together in
an agreement to defraud the Govern
ment. and that the overt act Of con-
spiracy had actually been committed
Overt Act of Conspiracy.
The Government. he said, would seek
to show that Lieut.. O NJ. Carter came
here in 1884 under Gen Gilmore and
was connected with the river and har-
Dor work when appropriations for riv-
ers and harbors were not so large as
now. Carter was appointed in charge
upon the death of Gen Gilmore, and
the Government would show, said Mr.
Erwin. that he fell In with Creme and
Gaynor here.
Started Work OH Carter.
At an early stage. Mr., Erwin said.
the contractors started to work On
Carter, getting him into little side con-
money for him, or at least so pretend
ing: then they commenced to lend him
money He was a young officer VINO
had no money to speak OF himself He
would pay the money back and AT first
the loans were inconsiderate. but soon
the amounts grew to as much as $1,000
gradually the amounts increased and
he became involved in contracts and
enterprises with them,
Becomes Involved Gradually.
Their associations were very close in
the early stages and they led him to
believe he was n second Elds. n man
Of great ability, and that he could
leave the army and so In with them
I'm the carrying out Of great contracts
in Chill and elsewhere. Mr.. Erwin I'm
piled that the defendants never mad
any intention of carrying out these
plans, but, by entering into them. they
made Carter their man mdisputably.
Then the alleged conspirators ;atcr-
ested the people OF Savannah in get
ting very large appropria ton fer

Yention being arranged TO lend aid to
the enterprise.
Entered Great Scheme.
This overstepped rhe Chill scheme
even. and offered a splen opporlu-
o. !
gress made this SreAt appropriation,
and in 1891. Mr., Erwin said Carter
went over to Greene nn,l Gayno' "bo5y
and soul" Just how he was to be
paid the agreement In this body and
soul" scll-out does not appear, but n
little later, when the payments began
upon the big contracts made under
the large appropriation, divisions OF
the money could be shown to have
been made at the end OF each month
as regularly as clock work.
