There Is one man, however, who, at
this time, seems the mos. logical can
didate. His name is Everett Colby,
state senator from Essex county.
Senator Colby has been bitterly criti-
cized by the machine politicians. bat,
there is nothing in his record that
can safely be attacked before the peo-
pie. With Senator Colby the repub-
lican nominee for governor and with
even the half-hearted support of the
machine men, such as Hughes had,
Colby could sweep the state. There
is no doubt but that he is the man
most feared by the democrats as a
gubernatorial candidate and he would
be the man most popular with the
masses of the people as SUCH Ever
EFT Colby unencumbered by any en-
tangling alliance, simply the repub-
lican candidate for governor, free to
serve the people as the constitution
and laws of the state direct, can be
the Charles E. Hughes of New Jer-
sey. He can keep the executive
chair within the republican ranks.

proposition that New York was up
against one year ago. Colby can do

New York. 1t is up to the republican
party.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1s.
Al CHARLES E. HUGHES FOR NEW
JERSEY.

During the past few weeks the
Newark Evening News has taken oc
casion to quote Governor Hughes, Of
New York, pointing out how his re-
marks, although applying to his own
state, could be taken to mean New
Jersey as we'll Governor Hughes has
proven himself to be man not only
above, machine rule and boss dicta-
stfon, but has shown the people that
he Is man bigger than his party
and, although true republican, he
is first of all a man, elected by the
citizens of the great empire state to
be their governor, not for the benefit
of the republicans therein, but for
the welfare OF all. There Is no doubt
of the strong position Governor
Hughes now holds before the people
and his actions and words, as the
Newark News has pointed out, can,
in almost every instance be made to
apply to New Jersey as we'll as to New
York.
While applying, the words and
deeds of Governor Hughes to New
jersey. why notxgo further and call
attention to the similarity of condi-
tions between New York and New
Jersey in the eleetidh of chief ex-
ecutive? One year ago New York
had a republican governor That
state was in the grasp of powerful
political machine. b. B. Odell. Jr.,
was the state chairman. The ring"
was in absolpte.Epntrqb and strongly
entrenched. Compare this situation
in New York oiietEear ago, with the
situation in New Jersey today. 1t is
practically the same. The republic
an machine here has not yet finished
growing about its latest victory in the
election of Frank o. Briggs to the
United States senate and the election
Of Daniel Voorhees, to the state treas
ureship. Both nominations were
made by the party leaders and, the
bosses being in absolute control, the
legislators were whipped into line
and carried out the program arrang-
ed for them. Is not this the same as
New York one year ago?
But in New York the people were
awakening. Ring rule and the boss
ism of Odell was becoming offensive.
II was evident that there was wide
dissatisfaction throughout the state
and especially within the republican
party a governor was to be elcfed
b the fall and the republicans feared

they would lose the Office. Is not the
condition in New Jersey today ex-
actly the same?
The wise ones in the party In
New York realized that IL the repub-
licans were to retain the governorship
something would have to be done to
meet this growing popular uprising.
The party machine, being firmly en-
trenched, was in position to nomi-
nate whom it pleased. The ring ia
vored the denomination of Higgins
or the naming of Bruce or Woodruff
as the standard bearer, for these
men could be depended upon to be
regular" as the party organization
calls it. They would be in the ring,
the office-holders, placed in power by
the good will of the party manage
ment as a reward for party service,
would be retained, the machine would
be kept in running order and the pat
ronage would flow through the regu-
lar channels to keep the organization
intact.
Wiser ones, however, could read
the public feeling better. They knew
that no machine man would do. They
even doubteG II the state could be
held by the republicans at all. but
knew that the only salvation of the
party lay in the selection of a candi-
date for governor whom the people
knew to be absolutely Independent
and fearless and one entirely free
from ring rule and machine ma
nipulation. 1t was argued that to
elect such man would mean the de-
struction of the party machine, the
loss OF patronage and the failure to
make good to the corporations, but
1t was choice between selecting such
man or having a democrat sit in
the executive chair at Albany.
How like this is the situation in
New Jersey today We are to elect a
governor this fall. The republican
party machine Is now in control of
the state. The people are becoming
aroused more and more against ring
rule, boss dictation and corporation
control. We have the machine can
didates for governor; men whom the
party leaders know they can trust not
to disturb the existing order of
things; men who will be regular"
and see to it that patronage is dis
tributed according to the established
plan and that the machine will con-
tinue to run smoothly. These men
are being brought forward by the ma
chine leaders and are being paraded
before the people to see how they
take"

what may happen that Coal Famine keeps up February Northwest

But. as in New York year ago,
there are wise ones who can read the
public feeling betters men who know
that the people are thoroughly
aroused over the present evils in po-
litics and are determined to have a
change. These wise ones realize that
the republican party in New Jersey
must choose between nominating an
Independent and fearless man for
governor, one whom the people can
trust, or seeing a democrat occupy
the executive chair at Trenton. A
comparison between New York of a
year ago and New Jersey of today
reveals exactly the same conditions.
What was the result In New York?
Although the machine fought hard,
seemingly preferring to have demo-
crat for governor than an independ-
ent and fearless republican, the wiser
counsel prevailed and Charles E.
Hughes was named as the republican
candidate. 1t is pretty generally ad-
mitted that the republican machine
did not work overly hard for his elec-
ton. Even such an independent man
as Mr.. Hughes had bitter fight, SO
aroused were the people against ring
rule, the bosses and the corporations
which had dominated in the repub-
lican ranks. Any other candidate on
the republican ticket would have been
sent into oblivion, as were all of
Mi. Hughes associates. Hughes won
but it was a victory that told plainly
what the people thought of the re-
publican party machine in that state.
Had any of the regular" candidates
been nominated, the democrats would
have swept all before them.
How will the states of New York
and New Jersey compare this time
next years, Will there be an inde-
pendent and fearless republican gov
ernor at Trenton, giving the state Of
fees thorough housecIeaning and
airing. as New York is experiencing;
a man who places himself above ma
chine dictation and party usage and
is the governor of the whole people,
attracting the attention of the nation
as Governor Hughes is doing, or will
there be a democrat in the executive
chair? No one will deny but that at
this time last year, New York was
face to face with such question as
this. 1t must be admitted that New
Jersey is facing such a problem today.
1t seems to be up to the republican
party to decide. The machine may
have its regular candidates and
may carry them to the nominating
convention, but If it would see the re-
publican party win it must accept the
advice of the wiser counsel and nomi-
nate the fearless, independent man
as New York did. Even then, it is to
be feared that it would require hard
struggle to win. Just as it did across
the Hudson.
AS for the right man there are
several before the people of the state
who are far enough above machine
rule and petty bossism TO save the
governorship for the renubsicane

al in the extreme was a statement
made here tonight by DR.. ]. A Mas
sic of Santa Fe. N. NJ. VINO served
with President Roosevelt in the
Rough Riders as assistant surgeon
and who now holds a minor official pc
sition in the territory. Massie form
ed one of a party that this afternoon
came to Trinidad from New Mexico
for the purpose of meeting Governor
H. J. Hagerman, Whose resignation
has bee asked by the president.
In the party were also Major w. C.
Reid, attorney general of New Mexi-
CO, who lives at Roswell; Robert P.
Irving, commissioner of public lands;
H. B. Hening, city editor of the AL
~t5uquerque Journal, and fifteen other
prominent Republicans of the territory
from Albuquerque. Santa Fee, Deming,
Las Vegas, Silver City, and other
places. Their idea in meeting Cover
aor Hagerman at this point. where he
had to change trains on his way home
from Washington, was for the purpose
of expressing to him the sympathy of
an element that they claim comprises
IS per cent of the people of New
Mexico.
Governor Hagerman positively re-
fused to say a word relative to his re-
signatio1. Attorney General w. C. Reid
was then approached and he, together
with the governor. designated DIR. Mas
sic n Hening as the spokesman of
the party.
Lied About, He Says.
The News correspondent was told
that the Bull Andrews gang at San
ia Fe had grossly misrepresented
Governor Hagerman to President
Roosevelt, with the result that Hager-
mans resignation was demanded.
DR.. Massie said it was very evident
that the president was seeking a
third term, and he based this state
ment on the assertion made by the
Andrews contingent, that Hagerman
could not control the seven delegates
who would go to the Republican IA
tional convention of 1908. This, it
is claimed, was the real reason for
Governor Hagerman's removal, and
not the alleged fact that Hagerman

had been implicated in the alleged
steal of 1000 acres of public domain
which was acquired by the PennsyI
vania Development company shortly
after his Inauguration.
The spokesman for the Governor fun
was the choice of a vast majority Of
the Republicans in the territory, and
that if retained in office any choice e2
pressed by him for the Republican
presidential nominee next year would
be ratified and voted for by the New
Mexico delegates.
1t was said, though unoff1cially,
that pom Governor Hagerman's re
turn to Santa Fe tomorrow he would
at once forward his resignation to
lent Roosevelt during his visit at the
capitol last week. He will not talk
now, it vas said, because of a sense
of d%elicacy, preferring to allow Presi
lent Roosevelt to speak the first
word. 1t is understood that as soon
as the president makes a public state
ment anent the causes for Hagerman's
resignation the New Mexico executive
will give out a statement to the press.
Plan Mass Meetings.
Mass meetings will be held at San
ia Fe and Albuquerque Wednesday
night, at Ration, Las Vegas. Roswell
and Deming Thursday night, and at
other important cities throughout the
territory on various nights during the
Indignation meetings, and at each pc
titions will be signed and resolutions
passed condemning the action of Pres
ident Roosevelt in demanding the re-
sig1ation of Governor Hagerman and
appointing Curry in his place.
While DIR. Massie would not outward
w admit the fact, he intimated that
If President Roosevelt did not recon
slider the resignation of Governor Ha-
german sucn action would bid fair to
completely disrupt the Republican eF-
ganization in New Mexico and make
the Democratic sentiment supreme.
While this would not affect the eou7-
try as a whole, owing to he fact that
New Mexico has no electoral vote, he
believes the growing condition Of the
territory would seriously AFFECT the re-
suit in the next presidential election.
