4 JEKYLL-RYDE CANDIDATE

This country has had some mighty odd candi-
uates in recent years, but Mr.. Chanler is, so far
rs we can remember its first Or. Jekyll and
AIR HYDE candidate. To the state at large he
IS DR. Jekyll. He throws out his chest, reminds
she voters Of his approval of the Hughes aims
and methods and suggests that he himself is
going 10 t-HuShes Hughes. He doesn't say
so but every inch Of his six feet four implies it
To the gamblers Of the racetracks and of Wall
Street. 10 the public service looters and to
Murphy and Corners. he is Mr., Hyde. To them
the suggestion is not of outdong Hughes. but Of
undoing Hughes. 1t is not known how he has
convened this impression. and whether they are
anv more in his confidence than the public is,
but he has nevertheless very successfully con
~eyed it. The gamblers are financing an ex
pensive campaign in bis behalf. and the preda-
tory interests are raiiying 10 bis support. He
owes his nomination 70 the bosses. who seem
10 put implicit faith In his Mr.. Hyde personal
ity. aud 10 Ryan and Ryans political and legal
aids and representatives
Nor is his double personality On evidence in
these relations alone. X pervades his entire
candidacy While he is Or. Jekyll TO the whole
people. suggesting always that he viii main

terests 10 those of-every private sort of every
class or group, 10 every such selfish interest
class or group which is angry al The Governor
for his unwillngness 10 favor it 10 the detri-
ment of the general public. or at a sacrifice Of
the principles Of his administration. he is Mr.
Hyde. While 10 the people he is suggesting that
he will do as Hughes has done all Of those who
do not like what Hughes has done firmly be
iieve that they viii receive different and more
favorable treatment at Mr.. CHAMBERS hands.
As DR. Jekyli be is trying 10 he The candidate
Of the people. and as Mr. Hyde he is seeking
the financial support and the suffrages of the
crooks As the one he is ende- voring to get
the votes of the people, and As the other he is
after the money and the votes Of all those whose
interests are nfagonistic 10 the peoples. As
DR.. Jekyll be could get only the votes of those
who want Hughes government and who think

SPEED on ENGLISH RAILWAYS.

steady Improvement in the facilities for
travel on English railways i'll the last ten or
dozen years is revealed III an elaborate review
Of this years service by Engineer ng." The
advances include an increase in the number Of
trains making long runs without stop. the

The most notable gains in speed are observed
in comparatively short runs Anything like 5G

NOT THE NAN BUT THE CAUSE.

An effort is being put forth by the support
ers of Mr.. Chaner to make these words Oh
Governor Hughes sound like an exaggeratlon
of self-importance:
If I'm not elected everybody who is against
an effort to give an impartial and clean govern
nent to the state will rejoice that TINS adniiitls
tratfor has been rebuked. If l am defeated
every man that is waverlng just a little as 10
what he should do--and every man KNOWS
ninety-nine times out of a hundred Wilat ne
ought to do-if ! am defeated every man tnat Is
wavering in that way and wondering "Ilicn ~, Is
the better will say: Well, that may De
all very fine but in politics 1t doesn't pay; We
have got to do something else" And don
want to see the young man coming INTO pupIic
life, honorable man-and we nave Bol Io1o
of them men square and honorable and wanting
10 do their best don't want to see them as
Outraged and frightened and dishearte1led-
want to them stimulated and hfted up ana
feel that they can go TO the people ana nave
the support of the people.
But so long as Mr. Chanler maintains MS
present attitude of silence on vital questions
so long as he bids for the votes of every inter
est and every class which Mr.. Hughes has
alenated by his answering fathfuness to the
principle of an impartial and clean govern
ment, free from politics and pull" and special
favors so long as he leads all sorts and CON
dtions of persons who want TO see Governor
Hughess policies reversed to believe that he
will reverse them. and TO support MN III that
belief q great issue is presented In the candl-
dacy of the Governor and Mr.. Hughes docs not
exaggerate it. If he is defeated it will be gen
orally said that it was because he adhered 100
stfffiy TO his principles, because he DID f0t
make political deals or compromise with gam
blers and expoters of the public because he
did not consider the political effect of his
actions did not count the cost Of doing right
And the lesson that man cannot serve the
people the way Mr.. Hughes has served them
ard give them the kind of government he has
given them if he hopes TO he reelected will be
