Congressman Harry woodward has
consented to act as chairman of the
Republican State committee and con-
duct the campaign this fall. That he
will be successful in the work we have
not the slightest doubt. Congress
man woodward is sensible and popu-
lar and will conduct the campaign In
a manner satisfactory to everybody ex-
cept the Democrats. He may eneoun-
ter some criticism from them and we
have NO doubt he will, but he can
stand that for 1t will do him good.
The issues this fall are clear and the
Republicans can win easily II enough
interest can be aroused to get out a
SUFFICIENT percentage of the voters. 1t
is to be hoped that the Democrats will
get busy enough to stir the Republic
cans up to the point of going to the
election. That is all that will be nee
essary. We feel certain that Mr..
woodward will do everything in his
power to achieve a great victory and
we hope he will have the cooperation
of all the Republicans in the State.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-The stock
market opened strong this morning,
with buying of an excellent character
In evidence. The drive on B. R. T. was
by the bears and specialists claim
that the selling was for short account
and did not represent the liquidation
of long stock. The selling was, of
course, accounted for by the Gaynor
dicfslon that only tve cents should be
charged to Coney Island. This deci-
sion, however, will have to be sustain
ed by higher courts and in the mean
time the company will continue it's old
rates. The persistent strength of U.
s. steels had a favorable effect On the
whole market. 1t is shown that a big
bull pool is working in steel preferred.
One of the most favorable develop
ments of the morning was the an
nouncement that two million in gold
had been engaged in London for ship
ment to New York. This shows how a
stringent money market can be avert
ed. The market is a purchase, espe-
cially on any weak spots.
