Springfield Republican,
 IL may not be confidently affirmed that the present result has large na- tional significance, The fight on the governorship has been confined exclus- lively to such local issues as prohibition resubmission, and has been heated, with the democrats in possession of a candidate whose long service as master of the state grange made him personal ly strong In the republican rural sec tions. Still it is true that the older republican voters of Maine have so long cultivated the habit of keeping straight and rising above" local issues fin presidential years, for the sake of enthusinE the party in the nation, that a present departure therefrom may be significant at least of comparative in difference respecting the national re- suit Of thls general question. how ever, we shall know more when the re- turns from the congressional contests are all in. Meantime at any rate the national republican managers are very forcibly reminded that they have no easy task before them, and that If Mir Taft Is to be elected there must be a great stirring up all through the re- publican line.

BLOW AT THE BOSSES.

So emphatic was the approval of the republican convention of New York state yesterday of Governor Hughes for another term at Albany that 1t seems remarkable that the success of that worthy gentleman at Saratoga should have been called into question at any time. New Ha- ven may well feel some regret In that Governor Hughes nearest rival, whom he defeated to the tune of s21 votes to 151, was Yale man of good re- pute, James w, Webb, jr,, Yale '9S, but there can be no question but that the choice Is wise one.
 The praiseworthy decision of the New York republican delegates in se- lectng Governor Hughes should mean much for the whole country as we'll as for New York state. His nomina- ton means one of the severest set- backs ever to the bosses and to boss ism in boss-ridden New York The upright. conscientious citizens made their sentiments felt in such way that they could not be doubted. Now these delegates have chosen a man of whom all can have every reason to feel proud Their action can well be taken as exemplary by every state in the Union. It marks milestone passed on the highroad to better and cleaner things politically In this coun- try of ours. highroad along which It may he believed our republic Is advancing toward better con dltions each year that passes. An n- evitablc comparison must be impressed upon the minds of Connecticut repub- llcans when they think of the achieve ments and the future promise of Governor Hughes and the lack of achievements and lack of future prom ise of one man their delegates have chosen as nominee, after the bosses of the machine whispered a few sweet nothing in their ears, Mir. Lilley
 Governor Hughes should be re- elected to his present post for sec ond term. Certain 1t Is that he would prove to be doubly useful In that capacity. employing his every effort toward the furthering of the many great and credltable undertakings which. as governor. he has already begun. Further than that. his nomi- nation should make for the sure suc- cess of the national republican ticket this fall. His nomination has made New York state sure for Mir Taft. The New York republicans have done well. They are to be congratulated.

unless we are very much mistaken, The more often he appears in public the more noticeable 1t becomes that that reserve which has clung to him rom hts years on the bench Is giv- Ing way to a spirited style which makes straight for magnetic effect. Nor need he become a second Bryan in this particular to make him a stump artist of impelling force, Hav- ing once discovered the trick of get ting close to his audience and the art of appealing to humans in human way the cold court restraint will leave him and in its place will come more passionate utterancc.
 Tine most striking criticism he has yet made of his political antagonist Is embodied In the following exposure of Mr. Bryan's greatest weakness: He presents the remarkable spectacle of one who has been seeking the presi- dency for twelve years without suc- cess and without official responsibility and without the opportunity to test the various propositions which he had advocated for reforms, and yet of hav- ing the event demonstrate what col- losal failure he could have made in each instance had he been permitted to carry out his proposals In the poli- cies of the country"
 Whatever one may think of the per sonallty of the man. his sincerity, his rare gift of speech and his high moral character. one cannot, unless one lets partisanship take the place of cool judgment. deny that Mir Taft has set forth his rivals weakness in striking phrase. Judging by his abandonment of paramount issue after paramount issue during the past twelve years, ob- viously because they did not possess the permanency of paramount issues, justified an intelligent doubt with re- gard to his personal program for na- tonal readjustment Mir, Taft, on the other hand, can afford to let the vot- CTS of the country judge of him by his record, which is one of achieve ment. In other words we suspect that Mir. Bryan has awakened the wrong passenger on the political special.

The New England Conference.
tBoston Globe.

lboSton tlobe,1
 There Is no intention, near or re- mote, of forming a combination of New England interests against those of any other section of the country, even If such plan were practicable. The con ference may be more properly regarded as suggestive Of tho desrability of a movement in the direction of bringing all the states of the union Into hsrmoil- . ious discussion of interrelated Inter ests. In these days, when so much Is said about the promotion of comity be- tween nations, there Is curious want of suggestion of effort toward greater comity between our 4s distinct and separate sovereignties forming the United States. If such movement could be promoted II might lead 10 so complete change of view that instead of insistent enunciation of state rights there might be at least occasional con sideration of state duties In the rela- ton of the groups of states, one to an- other, in the same union.

 To the Editor of The Courant;
 I wish to thank you for the kindly reference to myself In your editorial headed Those Manufactured Resolu- tons" which appeared In your yester- days issue. It is true l was not pres ent In New Haven. and, therefore had no opportunity to see the resolutions of protest as presented For obvious reasons I cannot enter Into a discus sion of them. My opposition 10 Mir. Liileys candidacy was based wholly upon the record he made during our last conVress in connection with the ting, If you please, that his motives were of the best, he made grave mistake as shown by the report of the committee, and I question very much the wisdom (even if the nomination had been promised him months ago, which method Is not in accord with my notions of proper party action) of placing our party upon the defensive, which Is the situation in this state to- day. Furthermore, in my opinion, 1t is shameful if committee like the one named in New Haven on Tuesday cannot submit protest, wisely or un- wlsely framed, without being insulted. l wish to vote for Taft and Sher- man, and If my life is spared shall gladly do SO. Until the nomination for governor was named this week I have always supported to the best of my ability the nominees of our par ty; but how to consistently do so this year Is the question.
 Thanking you again for your kind ness, am

UNITING NEW ENGLAND.

It is pleasing to review the opening session of the conference of New Eng land governors met to consider the con servation and development of the re- sources of this section of the country The Journal Courier had heartily sec onded the idea of such a conference from the moment 1t was suggested by the Springfield board of trade. Pleas Ing is It. too, to note that Governor Guild, who has been the promoter of the conference, has changed some of his original plans for it. Some time ago 1t was announced that no prom inent New Englanders other than the six governors, would be invited to take part in the conference and that not even the representatives of the press would be allowed to attend to take note of the matters discussed. To have held the conference along such lines would have greatly limited it's scope and possible accomplishments. For that reason the announcement re- ferred to was met with regret and in- credulity in these columns and else where. For that reason It Is now more than pleasing to learn that Gov ernor Guild has not only invited the press to attend the present sessions at the Algonquin club in Boston, but that he has invited number of prom inent Bay state men, and that at the meeting action was taken toward call ing a much larger and more represen- tative conference to be attended by officials and prominent citizens and manufacturers of each of the New England states. That Is as 1t should be.
 In his remarks to those who came to the conference, Governor Guild suggested many comprehensive and profitable lines that might and should be taken up by New Englanders. Among the subjects he touched briefly upon in his outline of the work ahead were the preservation and improve ment of New England forests, water ways and water powers, shell-fish and other important articles of food pe- culiar to this region, He urges bet ter New England highways for the good of the farmers with their hauls, of the otel-keepers by making their hos- telries more accessible, and of the au- tomobilists and other pleasure seek CTS. He pointed out, too, the vast field for the adoption of uniform and pro- gressve laws for the protection of the public health sanitation and food supply, and for checking the spread of tuberculosis through diseased milk or in other ways,
 Even at this Governor Guild has but 1 touched the top-sol of the matter, There Is, too, the great problem of uniform and good transportation reg ulations in New England, the regula- ton of the public utilities the uni formity of the thousand and one laws that ought to be the same throughout
