CHURCHILL SCORES A POINT
Reform Candidate Cor Governor of
New Hsmpshif fe Forces Issues
In Canpsign.

CONCORD, n. H., Sept. lS-Every delc-
gate to the republican state convention in
this city today was prepared Cor long
drawn-out battle and no one disputed the
assertion that the tight for first place on
the ticket would be one of the keenest
in the history of the republican party.
The candidates for governor are: Charles
r. Greenleaf of Franconia, Charles NJ.

Pillsbury OF Londonderry vino has made
charges of extravaganza in the use OF
state moneys. and Winston Churchill, the
novelist. candidate of the Lincoln Repub-
lican club of New Hampshire, whose plat
form contains vigorous charges against the
Boston & Maine railroad. Mr.. Churchill
also demands reform in, several directions,
including direct primaries, the discontinue
ance OF railroad passea and the election
of railroad commissioners by the people.
Stephen B. Gale of Exeter was still in
the field today. but II was not expected
that he would figure prominently in the
convention. The Churchill delegates early
today were in a Joyous mood because of a
rumor which was not denied. that the
issues raised by their candidate in his cam
paign occupied the major portion of the
platform, which was tentatively adopted
last night by the committee on resolutions
When the convention was called to order
the routine of organization moved slowly
and after the comuRttee on credentials
had reported. sos oct OF sos delegates
seated. the platform was read:
The platform endorses the administra-
ton of President Roosevelt. commends
the industry of work of the fifty-ninth
congress and congratulates the country
upon the republican financial and indus
trial policies that have brought unpre-
cedented prosperity"
1t opposes any change in the tariff which
would undermine the republican policy oi
protection and endorses the action of the
United States senate in passing the Gal
linger shipping bill.
The remainder of the platform is de-
voted to state issues upon which the
campaigns OF the contesting candidates
have been largely based. 1t urges stric
Limitation to the issuing of free passes
by railroads; additional legislation t
guard the purity of the ballot, and legis

gathered their forces and are contending

that the whole route has been surveyed
and cross-sectioned. and that actual con-
struction work will begin in few days.

THE JOINT STATEHOOD VOTE.

As was predicted by all familiar with the facts, Arizona has voted by . great majority to remain Terri. tory rather than enter the Union as a state joined to New Mexico. IL was known that the people of New Mex. eco would favor the union. but the vote against it was unexpectedly large even there, says the San Francisco Chronicle. it was presumably cast by the best citizens, who foresaw the in. evitablc dangers of indissolubiy join. ing two utterly diverse communities against the protest of the one numer. ically weakest. In Arizona the prop. osition got almost no support and the refusal of that Territory defeats the proposition. it is not likely that it will ever be revived. In due time each Territory will become n state The proposition to compel the union by the vote of majority of the people of both Territories voting as ono was the most outrageous proposition ever submitted to the vote of an American community It's strenuous advocacy IS the one blot on the present admin istrntion. It was not possible to de fond It from any point of view. Each of the Territories has been long es tahlished ns n political unit with it. own character, laws, customs and as PirntiOns, and no two communities could well be more diverse. Each should he and will be allowed to dc vclop on it's own lines and uimatel, he admitted as state.
 The result in oklahoma is rather amusing. lt Is obvious to all just mon that whenever Territory has become iit for statehood tt should be admitted as a state regardless of it's political complexion or of the effect of it's ad mission on party supremacy.

 Senator Teller recently wrote let tee in which he stated that many Sen .tors and Representatives voted for Joint Statehood because it was coupled with Statehood for Oklahoma and they feared oklahoma would lose out If The ,ointurc proposal was voted down.

 Statehood must come. But the Ter ritorics mus, do their part. They must grow. Grow in population, wealth, and m nll thnt makes for a high and strong civilization. Talk won't do it. Politics won | do it There Is only one h'ng that VIII do ".
 That one thing is cooperative effort among all the people of each Territory for the highest development of each. The old prejudices must be forgotten. Faces must be kept turned forward. New ideas must he welcomed and new people with them. Every facility must -be afforded investors and home makers to get hold. Broad policies must pre- vail Projects that involve withhold ing immense tracts of productive land CT mincraliZcd hills from settlement and development must be defeated and outlawcd-by public sentiment if mol by statute.

AS the Indians of the Territory have never before voted as American citizens, nobody exactly knew what brand of politics they would take to. It was reasonable assumption, how. ever. that gratitude to the Republican party for the boon of citizenship and Statehood all at one gulp would oper- ate to make good Republicans of them forever. It didn't work. With the pervcrscn,ss of their race. and an ap- parent feeling that the Democracy is the natural utilization for half-baked citizens. they voted the Democratic ticket with the greatest zeal and unan- imity. The Democrats will draft the State Constitution. and to a moral ccr- taiuty will elect Democratic lcgisla. turc. which will elect Democratic Sen. ators.
