PARTY TROUBLES
DIFFER IN EFFECT

this State. Democratic faction fights are traditional. They pre-
coded all important elections prior to the time the Democratic
party lost control. In these years there was apparent harmony
in the Republican organization. On the eve of State elections the
prospect favored Democratic defeat, by reason of party discord,
but at the eleventh hour the Democracy pulled themselves to-
gether and scored a victory. The effect of Democratic quarres
seemed to be to sharpen the party interest and bring out the
party vote. Republican party dissensions have operated differ
emily, as results have shown. This year there is a loosening of
party ties, and State politics will he very much mixed. Demo
cratic leaders look with equanimity upon the differences and
rivalries that have sprung up in several counties. They antici-
pate a united party front in November. The same faith is not
held by Republican leaders about party unity at the polls. The
Republican outlook was never more threatening than now, when
the primary candidates. are taking shape and the sharp an
tagonisms that have been created since 1904 are being brought
out. The party primaries ought to settle party differences, but
this year the primaries will accentnate them.

could a shoe manufactures build up a trade without
people to buy his shoes? If l have been buying shoes
from a certain manufacturer for five years, he owes
me some gratitude and I want it paid by his keeping
on manufacturing good and better shoes. II he stops

New Jersey, the obstacles to constitutional reform are embedded
in the Constitution itself. For two sufficient reasons, therefore,
the proposed amendments should be voted down-frst. because
they are vicious in principle in their attack upon popular SOW

pense. 1t goes without saying that the longest purse has the best
chances of success in the party primary. The primaries next
month will involve more expense for candidates and their sup
porters than the primary last year. In the Republican primaries
there will be mixed up the rivalries of the State candidates for
Governor and United States senator next year. Al the results
in the Republican primaries will have some bearing on these can
didaeies. If the idea of the open primary is to eliminate the use
of money in elections, it is a singularly mistaken one.
