THE REST OF THE TICKET.

For the secondary offices on the state ticket
the Republican convention has made satisfactory
nominations. Some of them were evidently de
signed to interest vtally in the success of the
ticket the Republican organizations In certain
counties where the anti-Hughes sentiment was
most pronounced. but that is the part of ordi-
nary political prudence. 1t is not open to crit
icism unless inferior men put up as result
of it, and in no instance does that appear 10 be
the case
Senator Horace White. of Syracuse is an ad-
mrable nominee for Lieutenant Governor. 1t
would have been hard to find a man better fit
ted by experience and character to take the
second place oil the ticket, His long service in
the Senate has been credit to himself and
TO the party. He distinctly belongs TO the bet
ter element in the State Senate. Samuel s.
Koenig Of New York. has been actively con-
Ifected with local politics and Is reputed to be
an excellent Campaigner Charles H. Gaus, the
candidate for Controller, is the Mayor of Al
bany. which office he has filled with credit.
Senator Thomas Il. Dunn, of Monroe, the can
dfdate for State Treasurer has made record
in the State Senate which entities him to pro-
motion and should win for him the confidence
and the Suffrages Of the electorate. In the last
two sessions he has been consistent supporter
of the Governors chief policies and that should
commend him to Hughes voters throughout
the state Edward r. O'MaIley is a lawyer If
good standing in Buffalo, and like Frank NJ
Williams. the candidate for State Engineer has
professional rather than a political standing
to recommend him to the voters. Judge
Haight's denomination calls for further conl
ment than that the Democrats should follow
suit. The nominees are suitable associates of
the head of the ticket. What more need be
said?

4 PIEA FOR THE CHILDREN.

With the opening Of the schools this week
the active work Of the Fresh Air season closes
The supporters of the Tribune fund will be
pleased to know that the results have sur
passed those Of any ycHr since 1897, the number
Of bencfcarics being 1881. All these with 414
escorts have journcycd to and from the coun-
try total of 20OlO passengers, without n
single mishap Of any kind. No death has oc-
Cured and no serious illness or accident has
been reported Mt any Of the dozen Fresh Air
homes, in any Of the thousands of families
where the children have been entertained as
welcome guests.
In answer TO the former appeal for $4,000
to close the year without debt, Il little more
than one-half of that amount has been con
tributed check for $1,000 coming from the
widow of one of the earliest and most devoted
friends Of the fund. The manager reports that
The additional 5000 requested will be needed
To prevent a deficit. 1t would be extremely
unfortunate after answering SO magnifceutly
the plaintive cry of the children for a chance
to live TO have to carry debt lGto the new
year II is the belief of those who have faced
similar crises in former years that the simple
reminder of the need will be sufficient to Sc
cure prompt response from the friends Of the
little tenement house dwellers who, with
stronger bodies, happy memories of their coun-
try fortnight and a new vision of Gods out
of-doors, are the better prepared for their school
year and, alas, in not n few cases, for their
occupations as breadwinners Gratitude Cor

done this year through this philanthropc

Mr.. PARSONS.

Congratulations are due to Congressman Par
sons ON the part he took at Saratoga. More
than any other single member Of the conven-
ton, he brought about the result and through
his leadership New York County gained the
commanding position to which by reason Of its
size and Importance ii is entitled. He remained
uncommitted until he became convinced Of
what the people desired and when he had taken
his stand he was steadfast and immovable. His
solid block of New York County delegates was
the despair Of the opposition.
We regretted that Mr.. Parsons did not see
the Irresistible demand for and the imperative
necessity Of Mr.. Hughes rs we did, but
we have only admiration for the resolute way
in which he acted when he did become assured
Of the fact. He returns from the convention

THE VOTE IN MAINE.

There was nothing in the vote cast in Maine
on Monday 10 surprise anybody who had care
fully studied conditions in that state The
election there turned this year, as it did two
years ago, on a strictly local issue. That issue
was the resubmission 10 a popular vote of the
prohibition clause in the constitution I'm
doubtedly much dissatisfaction exists with the
workings of the prohibition system Many
voters prefer high license and local option, and
many who have supported prohibition as a
theory are displeased with the partial and in
effective manner in which ii has been applied.
Two years ago the agitation for a referendum
on the subject came TO head, and the Demo
cratic party gained considerable ground by
favoring resubmission, while the Republican
party was put on the defensive by declaring
against resubmssion. In Vermont the same
battle WAS fought out a few years ago. IN
after public sentiment had clearly demonstrated
ilat a referendum was advisable the Repub-
lican party yielded and submitted local option
amendment which adopted. There seems
TO be no reason why a similar course should not
be pursued in Maine, for there can be no harm
In taking the Judgment of the community on
such questions al suitable intervals.
The Republican candidate for Governor won
in Maine on an snti-submission platform by
about the same plurality that his predecessor
obtained In 1906, when the same question was
ell important This year as in 1906 the Re
publican candidates for Congress ahead Of
the candidate for Governor, showing that Re
publican national policies are more popular
than Republican state policies But, is
usual when local interests control, the NOM
inees for Congress suffered along with their
state associates. The Republican plurality for
Governor was about 5000. The plurality Coz
Representatives was q few thousands greater.
New-York tribune., 1908-09-16

On a clean issue between the national plat
forms and candidates there is little reason to
doubt that the Republican plurality would haYe
risen to more than 5000.
Mr. Bryan expresses satisfaction with the
result In Maine. Republicans ought to be sat
sfied also. since there has been no Democratic
gain over the vote of 1906. and in 1906 the Re-
publican party easily carried the country
Maine has. however, never served as n very
accurate guide to national sentiment The re-
suit in Vermont in Presidential years has not
failed in a generation to measure pretty ac-
curately the relative strength and weakness OF
the national parties. But Names September
vote has been no such barometer. The RepuD-
licans lost Maine in 1880, when they elected
President In 1884, when they lost the Presl-
dencv. they carried Maine by the largest plural
itv obtained between 1875 and 1896. In 1880,
when the Democrats swept the country, Maine
returned her four Republican Representatives
in Congress by increased pluralties. Again, the
September plurality Of 1904 was smaller thah
the September plurality of 1900 thus reversing
the September showing in Vermont and notably
failing to indicate the drift Of opinion in the
rest of the Union. The vote in Maine this year
must be considered. therefore, as having chiefly
a local significance. SO far as it has bearing
on the fortunes Of the two national tickets 1t
certainly portends no such upheava as Mr..
BRYAN must depend on to give him chance OF
election.

make receipts more than balance expenditures.
The question is how it is to be done. 1t is ali
very we'll to speak of the comparatively light
taxation of Germany. The imperial taxation
is light. But il must be remembered that each
state has also It's own system Of taxation, ana
that these state taxes are often about as much
as the people can well bear Prussia, for exanl-
pie has an enormous debt and a large tax levy.
Her direct taxes. chiefly levied on Incomes,
amount to some SS0OOOO00 a year. There are
also municipal taxes and other burdens rest
ing upon the people, which make it difficult to
see where the imperial government can place
any further levies without provoking complaints
of oppression. Moreover, any considerable in
crease of taxation is to have an unfavor-
able effect upon industry and commerce. any
impairment of which is the last thing which the
government desires. The fiscal problem may
therefore be regarded as a complicated and
difficult one, which deserves to command the
best thought of German statesmen and the most
tactful efforts of the government to placate
those upon whom the burdens must rest.

pie that IN OF his reelection he will faithfully
pursue the course which he has thus far followed.
HIS announcement comes at the right time. for
the party was entitled TO know what his position

the fact that many OF the most conspicuous Re-
publican leaders in this state have been out OF

no doubt that the strength OF the opposition
