This Jersey City fight is about the only one in the State
that rises above the level of a petty scramble for Offices.
Tt is not a case of Pagan or Wittpenn. 1t is not a case of
the Republicans or the Democrats winning. It is a question as
to whether n not the people of Jersey City will write them
selves down fit for seltgovernment. They know that in spite
of errors and 'blunders Mayor Pagan has been conscientious,
honest and fearless in the discharge of his duties. They know
that he has acted the part of a good and faithful servant in
trying to get for the city all that rightfuly belonged to it, and
in compelling everybody to bear a fair share of the taxing
burden. And they know that in doing so he has aroused the
unforgiving enmity of those who used to make profit out of
their ability to extend privileges at the expense of the ordinary
taxpayer. Now these hucksters are in full cry against Pagan.
but unless the voters are deaf, dumb, blind and imbeciic they
can't succeed.

1t is evident from the result of ex-
periments with a fuel-testing plant at
the jamestown Exposition that de-
natured alcohol is not yet ready to sup
plant gasoline as a motor power. 1t
was found that it takes one and a half
gallons of the alcohol to produce as
much power as a gallon of gasoline,
which costs only one-half the price Of
denatured alcohol. Until the production
of denatured alcohol is much cheapened
the market for it for fuel will neces-
sarily be limited.

TOPICS For CANDIDATE KATzHNBAcH-M4YoR EAoANs RhaHT
~ CITY Y nrc

IN JERSEY CITY ETC, ETC
Candidate Katzenbach is sure of a large meeting in New
ark. He will be foolish, however, if he assumes that the big
turnout is an omen of victory. Folks in this section like to
hear both sides, see the candidates for themselves and then make
up their minds Therefore it will be the part of wisdom for
him to assume that at least one-third of his auditors are not
commhted-that their minds are still open, and that it will de-
pend to a great extent on the candidate himself as to the
frame of mind in which they leave the meeting. They will I'M
doubleday like Mr.. Katzenbach's appearance and manner. But
in a candidate for the high Office of Governor they want more
than that. They expect him to take them into his confidence,
and to discuss frankly and unreservedly the questions in which
they are interested.

An overwhelming majority of the citizens of Manhattan
are naturally friendly to Tammany. Once in a while they
break away, but it is only when some moral issue is raised.
The Republicans in that city have usually posed as the special
agents of morality and Divine Providence, but their talk cut
no figure in the results unless backed up by facts. So long
as it appeared to be a scrap for patronage, why Tanmany
won every time. Nevertheless the Republicans kept on preach

If he be we1ladvisd Candidate Katzenbach will devote his
Newark speech to three topics:
Excise: Will he compel enforcement of the Bishops bill?
Does he favor modification or amendment of any kind?
Public Utilities Companies: What kind of regulation meas
ure does he favor? One embracing ALL, the public utility com.
panies of the Statea Should the proposed commission be en-
dowed with the rate-making power?
: Unfit State Officials: What is his plan to get rid of them
promptly
These three propositions are the ones on which the people
of Newark and the surrounding district wish to hear Mr.. Katz-
enbach, as he may easily learn by asking friends in this sec
ton who keep in touch with local sentiment. If he will take
them up and discuss them courageously and without reservation
he is bound to win many votes; if he shirks or shufaes it
would be better for himself that he didn't come here at all.

The clergymen OF Jersey City are swinging

The cergymen of Jersey City re swinging into line for
Mayor Pagan. There really is nothing else for them to do if
they wish to be consistent, Every moral force in the community
ought to be with Mayor Pagan because his fight is the fight for
honest, clean ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS for and by the people
instead of government by the representatives of selfish interests
who care nothing how low the city may sink if they can make
money out of their power. We all know why the forces op-
posed to Mayor Pagan are so bitter and so hostile. He has
stood for the interests of his city first, last, and all the time
He has defended its rights against a hungry horde of profess
sional politicians who would sell 1t or anything belonging to it
for a price. These enemies of the Mayor are in the last
ditch and if they cannot pull him down now they are dead
ones.

by publishing his correspondence with

charged that the corporations were put

that C~artelyou, at that time secretary Of

he replied by calling Parker a liar.
Now Hartman who put up $4,000 to
elect Roosevelt tells how the immense

be possible that Roosevelt is the only

that he resign his appointment and
make Q for a Reno man. a member
Of the Publicity Bureau which by the
way is composed OF f. l.. Bingham, OF
of the Journal; o. a. Morgan of the
Gazette and John whItson. The two
editors favor the appointment of Mr..
WhIison, it is understood.
We are unable to understand Just how
the governor came 70 appoint Mr.. DAVIS
without consulting the two Reno gentle
men and think that he should br more
careful IN the future. He should nnter-
stand that affairs OF state are regulated
and, rightly so, at Reno not at Carson
City nor by him.
But seriously speaking; we believe
the two Reno newspapers are making a
grievous mistake when they attack Mr..
Davis We know they err when they
charge their weapons with venom and
hatred, Sam DAVIS has lived long IN
Nevads; thirty years Of hs life have
been spent in these hills engaged in
editorial work. He surely has "a know.
ledge Of the Of Nevada and
knows the state better than the agera ge
man.
The editor OF the News and Mr Davis
have Disagreed frequently, politic=,
religion and many policies proving The
bones OF contention yet We cannot but
feel that for the work OF the publicity
bureau. MIR. Davis is well qualified.
Let the appointment stand; il Sam
Davis fails to make good, there is d way

brainy a man not to grasp the situation.

not accommodated in the appointment
