When George Raines took the platform to
nominate Suzer, the Brooklyn crowd turn
ed loose and cheered him for five minutes.
Then they grabbed Sulzer and ran him up
the aisle, many other delegations and the
audience at large joining in the demonstra-
ton.
Throughout the hearty and evidently sin
cere tribute to Sulzer the Tammany dele
gates sat grimly silent and the Hearst peo-
pie only grinned
Sulzer had the cheers but they knew that
Hearst had the votes.

FOR A PRIMARY ELECTION.

In speaking of Henry Aliens inter-
view in Sundays State Journal propos-
ing to settle the contest in the Second
congressional district by a primary cleo
ton, T. w. Morgan, editor of the OF
tawa Republic and Mr.. Aliens business
competitor, says:
Henry Aliens proposition to leave
the Second district congressional nom
nation to a primary election is a pop
ular stroke. 1t carries with it the idea
of complete fairness, and Congressman
Scott will be compelled to accept the
challenge or else lose prestige. A pri-
mary election would mean a straight
out fight between Scott and Allen and
no dark horse would stand any chance
With delegate convention, there is
quite a probability that neither Allen
nor Scott would win. a primary cleo
ton in the Second district would clear
the political atmosphere, and Charley
Scott should hasten to sanction the
idea"
A primary election would certainly
get at the sentiment of the rank and
file of the Republicans of the Second
district. It would not result in any
deadlock or any trades that might land
a third candidate whom few people in
the district would want. It is recognize
ed that the race is strictly between Mr..
Scott and Mr. Allen. a primary would
determine which of these two the dis
trict prefers for its CONGRESSMAN.

Mr.. Hadlex Of Missouri.

IFrom the New York Americana
There seems to be a tendency to as
cribe to Attorney General Hadley, of
Missouri a special quality of courage
in pressing. as he does. the investigation
into the Standard Oil organization. No
one will begrudge him this reputation
more than any one car. deny to him
great ability and pertiEacity-
But it is proper to note that these
proceedings are not taken by Mr.. Had
ely for himself, but on behalf of the
state of Missouri and its three million
citizens. Furthermore. back of that
state stand fofty-four other states of
this union, and if necessary, the United
States government as well. Mr.. Had
ley has every right to be indignant at
the attitude assumed by the flippant
Rogers and the fugitive Rockefeller
and Pierce.
It is a curious thing that the attorney
general of the fifth state Of the union
should be credited Wits peculiar cOur-
age because he attempts to enforce the
laws of that state against mere
private corporation. Nevertheless, it
must be admitted that the action of
this official, which ought to be merely
commonplace, is in fact unusual.

The lin that thev Iii never wear:


number of playwrights and actors
at prominent club were once dis
cussing the difficulty generally expe-
rlenced by unknown writers in obtain
ing a reading of their plays. II don't
think there's a playwright living to-
day" said someone, who did not suf-
fer the keenest disappOintments and
rebUffs in getting his first offerings be-
fore the managers. 1t is only by the
greatest perseverance that one can get
those readers to even look at play"
That's true" affirmed an actor in
the group, .sand speaking of the per-
severance and persistency of the aver
age downright, / am reminded of a
story that I heard in London. 1t APP
pears that a dramatic author of that
city who was having considerable diff
ficulty in finding a market for a new
comedy desired to have the criticism
of well known journalist. Upon
calling a the latter's house he was in
formed that the critic was not at all
well. Persisting in his endeavors, the
playwright was finally enabled in some
way to gain the bedroom of the jour
nalist. When the purpose of his visitor
was disclosed. the newspaper man. in
order to rid himself of what promised
to be a horrible bore, feigned to be
desperately i'll. Nevertheless, the as
piring dramatist cOOlly proceeded to
read his play But peevishIy object
ed the journalist consider, my dear
sir, that 7 am very i'll, and may not last
through the night. The physicians say
may die at any minute
"Whereupon the ambitious play
wright rejoined: That's too bad, old
man. and I'm sorry to hear it; but
assure you I'll not take much of your
time; I can finish the reading in tvs
hours. Exchange.
