BIC DAMAGES FOR
NEWSPAPER MAN

NEW YORK, May ia jury in
Justice Amends department of the Su-
preme Court today gave a verdict tor
$12,5OO damages in favor of Thomas r.
Williams, formerly of San Francisco,
who for some years has been general
business manager of the New York
Evening Journal, in his suit against
the marlborough Railway Company on
account of an accident which he met
two years ago when alighting from a
subway train at Brooklyn bridge.
When the trains come to a stop an
open space is left between the station
platform and the car doorway and into
this space Williams stepped, being bad
ly bruised and shaken. His injuries
incapacitated him for work for some
time. 1t was alleged that the company
did not have a landing place properly
lighted and protected. Since Williams
brought his suit the company has had
guards at various stations call out
watch your step" when the passen-
gers alight.

The hundreds of Democrats in
this county who voted to nominate
David A. Ball as their candidate
for Governor, and who saw him
beaten out of the nomination by
peculiar methods at the primaries
in St. Louis and Kansas City after
he had carried a majority of the
counties of the state, are expected
to submit to this crooked business
without squeal and swallow Cow
herd or be read out of the party.
They are told that party expedi-
ency (snccess) must be made para
mount to party honesty and de-
ceucy. Any Democrats who dis
sent from these orders are de-
nounced AS 'soreheads" and as.
sistant Republicans. If they hon
estIy feel that MIR. Cowherd has
been made the nominee by fraud,
may they not honestly believe that
if he is elected the elements that
won him the nomination will be
the dominating influence of his ad-
mlnistration. The Ball Democrats
eau scratch Cowherd without any
compunctions of conscience.

ed of Democrats aud the other of
Republicans, and the distinctive
policies OF the two parties are suf-
ficient to make the cleavage line
clear to the intelligent voters.
This brings Us up to the presenta-
ton of the fact that on a straight
party division the Republicans,
with Il full vote, have the lead by
about 300. in 1906 it was PSI on
the state ticket. 1t is evident
from these figures that if any
Democrats are going to be elected
to Office this year, they will, as
other Democrats who have been
elected in former years, have 10
get enough votes from the Repub-
licans to put them there. How
are they going to get them, by the
"picbald" method! We are will
ing to conced that all of the Demo-
cratic candidates will get some Re-
publican votes on the grounds of
personal friendship, just rs all the
Republicans will get some Demo
cratic votes for the same reason,
the one being about sufficient to
offset the other; but there is still
that 300 Republican majority to
overcome, and if it is overcome by
any of the Democratic nominees,
it leaves no other conclusion than
that we have had another "pie.
bald" campaign, and the Republi-
can voters have been Influenced by
means other than that of personal
friendship or superior fitness Of
the Democratic candidates. That
the "piebaId" political practices in
this county are peculiar to the
Democrats is demonstrated in the
election returns of the past ten
years. Republicans who have
been elected to Office here within
that time have, with few excep-
tions, never run ahead of their par
tv ticket. Had this been the rule
there might be some reason for in-
Guiding them in the ''piebald"
clique. Now, giving the Demo-
cratic and the Republican candi-
dates their respective quotas of
friendship votes from the oppos-
ing parties, if the campaign is 60
ing to be one in which the issues
between these parties are alone to
prevail, the Democratic ticket
should be beaten from top to bot.
tom by 800 majority. We may
safely conclude, however, that our
Democratic friends, who are ap.
parently as eager as ever to get
the offices, have not lost confidence
in Or abandoned the 'piebald"
process of inducing votes.

How does it know that this is not

by the COMPANY with which he has
surrounded himself in his present
campaign. The interests that
President Roosevelt has combatted
and whose lasting enmity he has
won by doing 50, may be ex'

The information comes from the
Democratic national headquarters
that with the quarter of million
dollars already secured only 500,
600 more is needed to make the
election of Bryan positive. If that
is all that is required to make
Democratic success certain, there
should be no difficulty IN securing
the amount from prospective appli.
