think they have, but they're saloon

Many men of all parties deprecate

Of this traffic spells its ultimate down

putting lie saloons out of politics, and
that is TO put them out of business.
The rank and file of the republican
party is looking to the next state
convention to take an advanced and

not only because the principle is
right, but as well because the liquor

was hoped, and believed, that the
fact that the ticket was made up of
third-termers would offset their per-
sonal popularity. This, however. did
not prove true. AS the precedent now
stands it is that two terms are enough
for republicans, but the only demo
cratic limit is that imposed by NOR
tality-and they are all long livers.
Funny, isn't it, that republicans will
not vote for |third-termers on their
own ticket, but will readily swallow
democratic third-term bait, hook

WASHINGTON, D. c., SEPT. 30.--Po-
litieal campaigning is at a low ebb this
year. It is long since there was so lit
tie doing in that line on an off year.

modern times, have so few states been
involved in autumn struggles preceding
the November election.
There is little prospect of "straws -

wind is veering. Most, if not all, the
November elections will be very one

no excitement there up to date. The

the campaign there this year is lifeless
and it is not improbable that Repaid

Slow in Virginia
The campaign in Virginia, where a
governor and other officers viii be elect
ed, is showing little life. The Repub-
lican nominee for governor, William P.
Kent, who used to be consul general az
Guatemala, is hustling up and down the
state making speeches but Virginia is
so overwhelmingly Democratic that he
apparently can make no Roadway. The
Old Dominion election promises to be a
case of the Dutch taking Holland
Over in Maryland, where a legislature
and some minor state officers are to be
chosen, the Democrats are having the
best of it, although the campaign has
some spirit, chiefly because of the
proposed constitutional amendment,
containing a grandfather s clause, for
the elimination of the negro vote. There
is some doubt whether the amendment
will carry, although chances favor it
and are even stronger that a Demo
cratic legislature will be chosen to re-
turn Isador Raynor to the United
States Senate.

Corporations Unpopular.
There was one incident in the eau
cuses, which has led men TO believe
that the progressive movement, which
has been so successful in the West,
would receive encouragement in the
East, if only there were competent
leaders. The contest that emphasized
this idea was in the Haverhill senator
ial district where member of the gem
eral court, named Mason, defeated for
nomination as state Senator promin-
Incorporation lobbyist, supported by
the Republican organization. He won
overwhelmingly although there is no
place in Massachusetts where it was
supposed the regular organization was
more strongly intrenched. It is in the
congressional district of Representative
'Gussie'' Gardner, the son-in-law of
Senator Henry Cabot Ledge. Senator
Lodge is the Republican leader of the
state and the recognized head of the
Republican organization.
Ever since this unexpected "incid-
ent' Massachusetts has been ringing
with talk about the strength of progress
sives, if only the right sort of leaders
would come to the front. Mason is
likely sort of a man, whose career in
the lower branch of the legislature has
been highly honorable, but he has stood
for advanced reforms. such as the cleo
ton of United States Senators by
popular vote-a reform that has been
most stoutlv resisted in the Bay State.

At the Tuesday night meeting of the
Mayor and Board of Aldermen an order
was passed requiring every property
owner between the Mobile and Ohio
railroad on the east and Park street on
the west, and the Frisco railroad on the
south and Franklin street on the north
to put down cement sidewalks within
twenty days. The order designates the
width Of the walks, some of which are to
be four feet and some five feet. The
board takes this step at this time as
there seems to be a %concensus of OPP
plnion that the time is now opportune
to do the work. Of course some will OBJ
Ject to making these improvements at
this time, but this would be the case at
any time. With walks all over town
the general appearance of our little
city will be greatly improved and the
question of good walks will be settled
definitely.
