DIRECT NOhTNATIONS DETELOPhEAfS-
The victory Of Judge Paddock in Franklin
County on the direct nominations issue To-
gether with the results in Otsego and OSWeSo'
has given an impetus 10 the movement. Sew
eral new candidates. based ON this issue nave
been announced in the last few days, and II Is
becoming apparent that the political managers
Of those Assembly districts where NOMINATIONS
were made early have been farSeeing. Most OF
those who waited are likely to have fights on
their hands The candidacy of Edward NJ
Brown for the Assembly nomination on the
Hughes issue is announced in Herklmer
COUNTY Professor Eugene L. Sisson, Of Colgate
Academy. is seeking the Republican nomination
for the Assembly in Madison County as a sup
porter of Governor Hughes and direct pri-
maries. ana in Chenango Samuel \. Jones has
come out against ASSemblyman Scott. raising
the same issue. The results in these counties
will he awaited with interest In no district
where the issue has been presented to the voters
has the direct nominations candidate been de
feated hitherto.
The interest of the rural voters in this ques-
ton is apparently great and growing The
farmer is in no mood 10 he tri1ed with Nhen
Assemblymsn Merritt, the leader Of the As
senblv and one Of IFS strongest members, was
rpnominated in June. before tho stirring among
the farmers began. ne felt 80 secure that he
made a speech which Inc fFlenOS OF 'ToNtiii''
Hughes in his county have resented as an I'M
proper reflection upon the Governor. He at
tackled direct primaries aud declared that the
Governor lacked political sense. and intlmated
according Ia reports that the Governors course
was disloyal aud dangerous to his party. HIS
speech according 10 The Utica Press. aroused
considerable feeling among the friends Of the
Governor. and there is talk of an independent
Republican to be put into the field on the issue
of support for the Governor upon the direct
nominations question. Perhaps nothing will
come of it. for Mr.. Merritt is strong III his dis
trict because Of his position and character as
legislator. but the mere possibility of nomina-
tion of protest in rockribbed county like St
Lawrence is significant.
Another development not without bearing is
the use by the Democrats Of the direct primary
as an issue "The Buffalo News" a short time
ago asserted that in Western New York the
Democratic party was preparing 10 put up can
ddates for Assemblymen pledged To support
direct primaries. That is another indication
of the popular strength Of the issue Moreover.
if the Democrats do this generally, il will mean
that the Republican candidates too will have

THE c0LouBf4y TROUBLES.

Reports of trouble in Colombia are renewed,
10 the effect that Barranquilla and Savanilla
are In the hands of revolutionsts and that Il
WIDESPREAD insurrection is being organized
against the existing government News from
those regions is generally TO be accepted with
caution and reserve and II is quite obvious
that those valuable qualities should particu-
larly mark the receipt of news concerning Co
lombia. which comes by way of Panama, seeing
that \ CLIQUE of former cOnSpimtoTS against the
life of President Reyes have found and main
tanned ASYLUM in the latter country. 1t Is en-
tjrpIv credible however, that the reported dis
turbances are actually taking place, for II is
we'll known that considerable hostility to Presi-
dent Reyes. and therefore also 10 the Acting
President Dr. Holguin, exists in Colombia, and
that in that country, as in not few others,
political hostility is not unlikely TO assume
violent form.
The enmity toward President Reyes has ex-
listed ever since his election TO office and it has
heen intensified by various acts and policies OF
his administration. Mr.. Santiago Perez TrIana,
q well known Colombian publicist, charges him
with having abolished representative government
and freedom OF speech, of the press, of associa-
tion and of trade and with having made the
government an absolute personal despotiSm. On
the other hand there are those who declare
President Reyes TO be a second Porhr1o Dlaz,
who is DONG Tor IOlOLuUla llle sdlIlt soll VI
highly benefcent werk which the latter has
done for Mexico. There is certainly much in
appearances in the progress, prosperity and tran
uuiIity OF Colombia under President Reyes's ad-
ministration and in the Improvement of its re-
lations with other countries, to justify the latter
estimate 1t is scarcely to be disputed even by
President Reyes's enemies that he has stopped
printing presses from turning out currency
worth little more than its weight as waste
paper and has put the country upon gold basis.
that he has greatly improved the public school
system. that he has given an enormous impetus
10 sugar making and other industries, and that
be has promoted road building and the general
Improvement Of facilities for communication
and transportation.
While the domestic affairs Of Colombia arc no
direct concern of ours, it Is only natural and,
indeed. IS inevitable that should remember
that President Reyes has manifested throughout
his administration a friendly feeling toward the
United States. and has earnestly str1ven 10 es-
tablish cordial relations between the two coun-
tries while the opposition 70 him is very largely
anti American. IN fact the climax Of hostility
10 him has been reached in a demonstration
against the cultivation of good fellowship with
this country. Last winter President Reyes ne-
gotiated a tripsrtits treaty among Colombia.

hailed as a triumph for homespHn Democracy
