POLITICS mixed
IN BAY STATE
Henry NJ. Whitney and John
B. Moran Both Want the
Governorship.
On THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET

Associated Prcss to The Evening Tlmes.
Boston, Mass, Aug. 23.-The fact
that Henry NJ. Whitney and Congress-
man John A. Sullivan have consent
ed to appear on the democratic ticket
as candidates for governor and lieu
tenant governor. respectively, has not
relieved the muddled state Of politics
in Massachusetts to any great extent.
District Attorney John B. Moran is
still in the field as u candidate for
governor. and he declares he will
move aside for no man. But the an
nouncement of the Whitney and Sui
livan candidates. without doubt has
caused CONSERVATION in the Moran
camp. The Moran supporters had
figured strongly on the strength Of
their candidate In Boston, but hopes
in this direction have been dispelled
by the bringing out of Whitney.
Congressman Sullivan also will add
strength to the ticket in Boston, which
forms about one-fourth of the voting
strength in the nominating convention
George Fred Williams, a Bryanite,
is in control Of the Bryan committee
and has placed Moran on the COM
mittee to receive Bryan, in spite of
the efforts of the "old line" democratic
leaders. To add to the confusion,
Col. A. C. Drinkwater, Bryan man
but member of the state committee.
Is strong for Moran. Hearst. while
booming Moran through his Boston
newspaper. is said to be juggling for
the Massachusetts presidential delega-
ton. and it is said would not hesitate
to come out against Bryan If there is
a good chance to corral the nomina-
ton. Col. William A. CASTOR, the
banking house of Kidder. Peabody &
Co. and Morgan's agents have taken a
hand in the game and have been
trying to get Moran to step aside in
favor of Whitney. The interest of
the banking men is that they fear Nor
an will move against the street rail-
ways, gas and other public utility cor
porations in which Morgan and others
are heavily interested.
The republicans are in fully as
much trouble as their opponents. but
with them the difficulty is not man,
but principles. The Home Market
club is seeking to induce the approach
ing state convention to repudiate the
tariff revision plank of last year and
come out squarely on a standpat plat
form. This Is direct stab at Gov
ernor Guild, who is unquestionably to
be renominated, and should It carry
which is hardly possible, might re-
suit in his refusing to run. The
friends Of former Governor Bates.
too. are putting in a "knock" when
ever occasion offers, declaring that
Governor Guild has not treated Bates
fairly or kept his promises to Bates
h made before election.

COwARDLY TACTICS.


The attempt of the Herald to be-
little those who have been entrusted
with the states affairs by comparing
conditions in North Dakota with con-
ditions in New York, as described by
the disgruntled New York Sun. is in
line with the persistent policy of our
kicking contemporary.

incompetency of our state officials.

INDESTRUCTIBLE CARS.

The Pennsylvania railroad has in
troduced an innovation in the matter
of passenger coach building which
will be of interest to every railroad
traveller, for it is certain to become
in short time the plan of every lead
ing road in the country.
The Pennsylvania, which is probably
the largest passenger carrier in the
country. has reached the conclusion
that large per centage of the fatali-
ties in railroad wrecks are due to the
burning of the coaches after the real
accident has happened and before they
can escape from the debris.
Working along this line the road has
had constructed at one of its shops
an incombustible coach. The details
of the material used have not been
given to the public but it is stated
that the structure is much stronger
than the customary wood which forms
the average coach and at the same
time no matter what the exposure
there is absolutely no possibility of
combustion.
The Pennsylvania is experimenting
still further along this line. with the
view of constructing coach which
will be almost indistructible in the
event of its being ditched or even in
collision with other trains. 1t is
argued that if structure can be made
which will be able to Withstand the
shock of derailment without crushing
like an egg shell the danger of rail-
road travel will be reduced to the
minimum.
Railroad experts claim that the dan
ger of death from collisions under the
modern system of operation is only
one in every half million passengers.
Then If the danger from other sources
is largely eliminated there will be al
most perfect safety in travel.
If coach can be constructed which
is sufficiently strong to resist the force
OF derailing. passengers may suffer
from bruises by being thrown against
the interior of the structure. but there
would be no danger of being mangled
by broken timbers and disloged CIR
ders.
1t is to be hoped in the interest of
human life that the experiments of
the Pennsylvania will prove a sue
cess in the way of indistructible cars
as it has already proved success in
the way of incombustible ones.

Speaking of campaign issues.
whole lot of people are wondering why
the democratic platform is silent on
the printing combine. Can it be that
the democracy was afraid of offending
the Herald, which to all intents and
purposes is supporting the ticket that
was made at Minot?
The effort that our democratic
friends will make in the state this
fall to stop the prosperity of the coun-
try will encounter all kinds of dis
couragements. The panic of twelve
years ago has not been forgotten.

that there are no paramount issues
and that therefore it is a good time
to do things to those who have stood
firmly for republican party doctrine
in season and out of season, and are
standing shoulder to shoulder for it

men where will the opposition find a
better lot of them than those nomi
mated by the republicans? Have they
not all made good in every capacity of
life? Have they betrayed any conf
dence reposed in them? These are
questions that the voters will answer
