CORTELYOU AS A
CANDIDATE.

The suggestion of trust organ that
Mr.. George Bruce Cortelyou would make
a strong candidate for governor on the
Republican ticket is not one to be lightly
dismissed Mr.. Cortelyou has a vote-get-
ting cHpHctty which must be reckoncd
He is sure OF the support of ali the
postmasters whose tenure is subject to
his pleasure. We think he would get In
a solid block the vote OF every man who
believes In the policy of trustees giving
other peoples money to campaign funds.
Nearly all the policyholders that will vote
the Morgan and Rodgers ticket in the
New York and Mutual Life would flock
to his banner. Rather than vote for
Hearst the Ryan Democracy would go 10
such a Republican candidate, and the
Ryan Democrats, like the Ryan Republi-
cans, are not contemplate numbers.
The nomination OF Mr.. Cortelyou would
be a rebuke 20 the Republicans who urge
that merely because Mr. Hughes exposed
Cortelyou and Babcock campaign cur
by trustees. and would be his own gov
ernor and the peoples, therefore Mr..
Hughes would made a better candidate
than the postmaster general. with the
exception OF Mr.. Elihu Root we cannot
think Of a candidate who could better
guarantee TO beat the candidate either OF
the Socialists or Prohibitionlsts than

ENLISTED MEN IN NAVY.

The Indignation which Admiral Evans
betrays over the treatment received by
his men during their visit to Portland
week or more ago is natural and justlna-
BILE, and he is TO be commended for asking
the navy department 20 give full publicity
TO their experience.
Admission 10 skating rinks and other
places Of amusement was denied 20 sail
ors from the Iowa. the Indiana and sew
eral torpedo boats until the day before
they sailed. and until after Mayor Cliff
ford had interceded I'm their behalf. No
such intercession should have been neces-
sary. The attempt 20 debar this special
class OF visitors from public entertain
ments involved something more than In
hospitality.
IL was avowedly a piece OF discrimina-
tion against the uniform which the sail
ors wore and hence was distinctly un-
patriotic. Right-minded people all over

convention at Concord yesterday makes it plain
that at no time did he have any real chance Of
winning.
From first TO last the real contest was between
Floyd and Greeneaf, both OF whom are stalwarts
and stand-patters on state and national issues
Nevertheless, though Churchill was, as il now ap-
pears, never dangerous competitor, he gave the
Republican machine such fright that it was
induced IN order TO itself, to include in its
platform several of Churchill's radical ideas.
Party platforms have come to mean very little
in these days, and whether they are confined 10
iteration and reiteraton of plautitudes or whether
as in the case of the New Hampshire Republicans,
they give voice TO radical propositions they are
seldom followed by legislation
The Granite State has had pretty thorough
shaking up during the last few weeks, but that
any permanent good will result is extremely doubt
ful Floyd will probably be elected by the custom
airy majority OF 10000 and will hold the office fo7
two years at least.
Had the Churchill revolt against the Repub-
can machine resulted ia fusion with the Democracy
there might have been possibility OF success for
the reform movement, for the $4,000 good Demo-
cratic votes in New Hampshire would have fu--
nished very substantial basis for it,
But fusion didn't appeal to Churchill or his
supporters and it is reasonable to assume thai
after all they not so much concerned about
reform in the state as they pretended to be.
Anyway the people of New Hampshire appear
to prefer Republican machine rule, and that they
are now assured for another two years.
