THE GOVERNoR'S REMINDER.

Governor HUghess reminder TO General
Bingham that the Police Department is ex-
pected 10 exert all its powers to check fraudu-
leny voting is Opportune and should prove
effective. The police play an important role in
the conduct of elections They are depended
upon to preserve order. protect election officials
in the discharge of their duty and suppress
rowdyism and attempted crimes at the polls
AS rule order is well maintained and violence
and intimidation have i'll recent years become
exceptional. We have degree of peace at the
polls which would have astounded the pOliti-
clans of New York of one or two generations
ago. Undoubtedly in their outward aspect our
elections are fair and tranquil Yet they are
still vitiated by much irregular and Illegal vot-
ing and in certain parts of the city the police
have been. TO say the least passive in their at
titude toward suspected electors and niiuen-
tial encOurag gers Of violations OF the law.
We believe that General Bingham has no
other purpose than TO administer the police
force efficiently and honestly. To ask him 10
cooperate with the Superintendent of Elections
in apprehending repeaterS. fOaters and other
impostOrs is TO ask him 10 do only what he
himself would concede to be his duty. Yet by
addressing to him yesterdays warning Gov
ernOr Hughes puts the Police Department on
its mettle and points out opportunity Of free
of fraudulent practices. Political passion has
not been greatly stirred In this campaign and
party lines have been practically ignored In
Manhattan and The Bronx. There can be no
sufficient partisan motive for encouragi ging or
condOning fraud, and the city administration
can Loyalty unite with the representatives of
the State Bureau Of Elections and with all citi-
Zens interested in an honest ballot and an
honest count in stamping out the colonization
and repeating abuses which defective laws
have long fostered.
There are this year, as in past years, perhaps
ten thousand to fifteen thousand fraudulent
registrations in the districts below 14th street
and up and down the East and West sides.
The State Elections Bureau has taken out war
rants for large percentage of the illegally reg
istered lodgers in hotels and lodging houses
and with the aid of the police and of watchers
at the polls can Identify and arrest those bold
enough to take the risk of voting without legal
qualification. If a goodly numbe- Of lawbreak-
ers are captured, the poll In those suspected
districts is kept down, an excellent work will
have been accomplished and a beginning made
toward the permanent mastering out of the
army of vagrants and criminals who as illegal
voters have unhappily contributed TO the pro
longation Of corruption in elections and the
abuses of Tammany rule

IN NEW JERSEY TO-DAY.

Today's election in New Jersey has three dis
tinct aspects-local state and national.
In certain parts OF the state, notably I'm Essex
and Atlantic counties many voters seem inclined
10 let purely local interests control their judg-
ment It would be well for them TO remember
that while such interests may properly be su-
preme in local elections. in Il state campaign,
for state officers. the general welfare of the
whole state should have paramount considera-
tion and we must regard the campaigning of
kr Katzenbach with its appeals to local preju-
dices and its promises Of local benefits. far
less worthy OF a candidate for the gOvernorship
than that of Mr.. Fort. with its broader and
higher appeal TO the interests Of the whole state
regardless Of locality party creed or race.
In his attitude toward state affairs Mr.. Katz-
enbsch is at the disadvantage OF a candidate
who cannot or dares not avOw himself on a sub
Ject which many OF his own supporters declare
fo he paramount. and who can at best merely
promise that if ne is elected he and his party
Will DO better than was done in the unsavory
Democratic administrations of the past. while
Mr. Fort enjoys the advantage of speaking fully
.sIc frankly on every issue, and of having,
object lessons 10 which he may point as a con

.lhle achievements OF years of prosperous and

All this, as we have said, afforded an in
teresting outlook for the taxpayers. But the
executive council Of the Socialist party waved
that consideration aside as of no account.
Taxes, it declared, did not concern the majority
of voters, because the majority were not prop
erty owners All that was necessary was to
levy all taxes on land and then for Socialists
to avoid owning land. Then the many would
get everything they wanted at the expense OF
the few. That has long been the Socialist
creed. but it has seldom if ever been seriously
and formally put forward so bluntly and ui-
rectly 1t is no cause for wonder that the
English electorate revolted at it. or course
as we have hitherto pointed out, the SOCIALIST
Argument was a falacious one for nobody
can escape the burden of taxation by owning
no taxable property. But the cynically spo-
liative spirit manifested in the Socialist mani
festo was sufficient to consolidate an over
whelming opposition to the scheme We have
no idea that this result, gratifying it is, will
permanently discourage the Socialist prOpa-
gandists, but shall be surprised If it does
not do much toward effecting some realign-
ment of parties In which aggressive resistance

would try 10 exploit their victory into national
significance. as a 'rebuke 10 President ROosa-
relt's administration" and As indication of
fhe setting of the popular current for next
years national campaign. That would be
grossly perverted and distorted view OF it, but
since ii is contemplated it is best to be met with
sweeping Republican victory. which, according
L the same logic would be an approval of the
national administration.
There is on every ground, local state and ma
tiOnal the strongest reason for New Jersey Re
publicans to-day to be loyal to their party and
to be unanimous in voting its ticket. There has
been in this generation worthier candidate
for the governorship than John Franklin Fort
and none who. whether for statesmanlike abil-
it, or for integrity of personal character, better
deserved the support at the polls of all the peo-
pie. We shall hope tomorrow to record his
election by an overwhelming majority.
New-York tribune., 1907-11-05
SOCIALIST DEFEAT IN ENGLAND.

The first direct conflict at the polls on a
general scale between the Socialists OF Eng
land and Wales and their opponents resulted
last week In overwhelming defeat of the
Socialists. They appear TO have carried only
four out of 145 municipalities, while 125 were
carried by their most uncomprOmislng and ag
gressive opponents, the Conservatives, or Union
lists incidentally. the returns indicate great
gains for the Unonist Opposition and conse
quent losses for the government party but
these are not really great as they seem 10
be at first sight since it IS altogether probable
that many Liberals who would stand with their
own party in u parliamentary election voted
with the Unonists in the municipal contests
as the best way of defeating socialism.
The almost unanimous rejection of socialism
is the feature of paramount interest, especially
since il occurred so soon after the election OF
Mr. Grayson 10 Parliament and the consequent
boasting of the Socialists that they had "ar
rived" that new era had dawned in English
politics, etc. and their eager rush to measure
strength with their adversaries.
The Socialists platform in this campaign was
not an extreme one, however. They deemed it
prudent TO put forward a moderate scheme;
merely TO thrust the tip OF the camels nose
inside the tent. But even so, the quality of
their propaganda wa sufficiently shown. The
demand for the creation Of public works de-
partments in all municipalities, so that work
might be done without the Intervention of con
tractors something already widely adopted
The demand for the organization of unem-
nloyed labor upon useful work" intimated that
the public must find oT make work enough
for the employment Of all men. whether there
was any need OF such work or not-a pleasant
outlook for taxpayers. Moreover such men
and all men employed by municipalities were

EXTRA SESSION TALK.

The suggestion that Congress should be con
vened in extra session to deal with the fnan-
cial situation called for and has received a
prompt quietus. Congress will assemble regu-
larly In month and should then give its
attention seriously TO the question of improv-
ing the currency system; but there is nothing
10 gain by rushing frantically at the subject
while there would be danger of further dis
turbing confidence by such precipitancy. If we
could have an elastic currency promptly pro
vided by enactment it would help bankers to
guide the country through its difficulties. but
it would not cure all our financial ills. At bot
tom, the trouble is the worldwide scarcity Of
capital. and until new capital has been accumu-
lated. or until fall in the cost of labor and
materials makes the present supply of
capital go further than it has gone for the last
few years of boom prices the country will CON
tnue to experience some degree of financial dis
turbance
Congress cannot supply this deficiency, but
by proper financial legislation it can provide
means for transacting the country's business
with the minimum of strain and friction That
is well worth doing and ought to be done. in
an orderly and deliberate manner. What is
needed now more than anything else is calm
ness, the very reverse of that agitated spirit
which is for hurrying Congress to legislate
lis somehow back TO ease and freedom from
anxiety
