and we TRUST this general: belief is
correct. We have considerable admira-
tiont for Bat McCaIren, but he is MAX
ing his fight for public favor on plat
form that seems to us contrary to the
spirit of the times. He has demanded
the nomination on the ground that he
is opposed to the state police bill, and
because Bartlett was instrumental in
the passage of the bill.
For time we rather hoped and be-
lieved that this issue would not appear
in the campaign. But since Mr.. Nc
Carren has thrown down the gauntlet in
that form, it is we'll that it be fought out
OH those terms. McCarren probably
decided that. he was playing an astute
game of politics when. he took that
course-in fact, it was the only course
open to him or any other democrat who
would oppose Bartlett, because Bartlett
had strong hold on the affections of
party and had in no way violated the
pledges or traditions of his party. Ac-
cordingly McCarren seized upon the
only available weapon which was the
state police bill. We think before he is
many months older he will learn that
the majority of the people in this state
are for law and order, and that he will
be sadly disappointed in the labor vote
shat he; hopes to receive, IL we are
mistaken in this belief, the time to learn
is now.
There has been some foolish talk
among the democrats because the
Gazette has treated George Bartlett
with faiuness. They are probably not
readers of this paper, because they
seem unfamiliar with this papers
policy. We are inclined to believe that
George Bartlett will be defeated by
republican this year, even if he is
nominated. But if he is going to be
defeated because he stood for what he
honestly believed to be law and order,
then the republicans, in such an event,
are as interested as are the democrats
in.the situation.
By the way, there is going to be a
republican primary Saturday. In this
connection we lean toward writing a
few lines on enthusiasm and methods
of killing it-but for the time being we
shall refrain.-Reno Gazette.

Times Have Changed

About seventy-five years ago if a
white man was csst ashore at Hawaii
the gentlemen in charge over there
were in the habit of dressing him with
flowers, then roasting and eating him.
Times have changed. Two thousand
blue jackets paraded in Honolulu. The
girls over there covered them with
tiowersand the intimation is that they
nearly smothered them with their
attention. Evidently the disposition to
take in u good blue jacket has not
changed much in seventy-fve years,
the only difference being that if the
modern blue Jacket can get away his
life is safe from smothering, while in
the old days they smothered him in his
own gravy.-Salt Lake Telegram.

OHIO IS FIGHTING GROUND

Writing from Columbus, Ohio, Walter
Wellman. correspondent for the Chicago
Record-Herald, says: ''Ohio is the
fighting ground in the presidential con-
test of this year. The republican lead
ers expect to carry the state. But they
are not as sure Of it as they would like
TO be-" Mr.. Wellman adds: "There
are many things which make the repub-
lican leaders realize they have their
work cut out for them in carving
Taft's state for Taft. Bryan is and
always has been strong in this state.
Both i'll 1896 and 1900 he polled more
votes than were ever before or since

him was not large. Bryan is believed

from this source. And there are the

publican leader what the colored vote
was going to do this year and he replied:
God knows. I hope we shall hold the
most of them. Many will get away.

like the way they act. They are too
