HUGHES'S DECISION
Comments on The Tribune s
announcement.
DEMOCRATIC HOPES.

From The Rochester Union and Advertiser.
A political announcement of considerable
importance is made to-day by The New
York Tribune. the leading Republican - or, n;
gan. Governor Hughes" il says, will
not under any circumstances be a candi-
date for reelection This The Tribune IS
1t is doubtful that the Republican lead
ers of the Hughes and the anti-Hughes
factions will be able to agree upon a can
didate. The machine is fighting for its life
precipitated will mean ruin to the organi-
zation and the blasting of the hopes OF
battle is certain to be hard-fought one;
and thus a Democratic opportunity will
be presented. The Democracy should be
mating a man of the highest ability and
character. one who will command the con-
ndenGe Of the people OF the Empire state
of all parties. II should be remembered
that Governor Hughes has not had merely
Republican backing.
A LOSS TO PUBLIC LIFE
From The Hartford Times.
The New-York Tribune announces that
Hughes be a candidate for a reelection;
His decision, IL is declared, is prompted
by the fact that he can't afford TO stay IN
Office.
Retirement from Office of such men as
Hughes and Spooner is a loss 10 public
life. but unless they are financially indie
ly to disregard the obligations of provid-
ing adequately for their households. Doubt
in holding a great Office tends to enhance
his earning capacity and 10 enable him on
getting back TO his private desk quickly
10 repair any inroads which public office
may make on his fortune. A part OF the
compensation which a great man obtains
from ONCE must take the form of honor, or
official salaries cannot well be adjusted to
abilities of persons Of the highest class
New-York tribune., 1910-01-19
WHAT NEXT?

From The Hartford Courant
Governor Hughes will not under any
circumstances be a candidate for re-elec-
tion,' according to The New-York Tribune.
which adds that it is able to announce this
decision positively.
If the Governor has really made up his
mind IL will be interesting TO see what the
former bosses of the Republican party in
New York will do. Hughes is SO strong
with the people that his opinions will have
TO be reckoned with even when he is not
himself a. candidate.

Winnipeg, the capital of Manitoba,

ment for making the government of

has owned and operated its water
works plant, street lighting system,

unique among the critics of America
--an asphalt plant where the ma
terial for laying aud repairing street
pavements is produced. Now, tax
ing another great step forward,
Winnipeg is approaching the COM
pletion of great hydro-electrie
power plant, publicly owned and
capable of producing a mailman of
60,O0O horse power per year.
The plant is being built and will
be completed next spring at point
Du Bois, sixty miles from the city,
where the Winnipeg river drops over
fall of p feet The city has pur-
chased right of way l50 feet wide
and GO miles long leading direct to
the plant. 1t has also purchased a
quantity of land lying just outside
the city limits, and at present un-
developed, which will be held for
future sale TO manufacturers at a
cost not to exceed $500 per acre
This land is located where all rail
road facilities are available and I'M
