THAT NEW ELECTION LAW.

It may not be generally known that the last legislature passed law legalizing all primary elections hereafter to be held by any political party.in this state and extending the provisions of the general election law to such primaries.
 The act also provides severer pen alties for violations than have here tofore been in effect, as we'll as add ing some very salutary new provi- sions which should tend greatly to correct abuses of the franchise here tofore existing.
 For instance, no candidate is now allowed to give anything to any per, son, nor is any person allowed tc solicit any gift from any candidate at either a general or primary cleo tion, nor does this apply merely fol gifts or solicitations for gifts for the purpose of influencing votes, but is intended to prohibit gifts by candi dates for any purpose whatever. A candidate is thus prevented fron buying votes under false pretenses
 Then the penalty for casting illegal votes, for intimidating voters and the use of money or anything ot value or the acceptance of money ol any thing of value to influence votes has been extended in all such cases to term in the state penitentiary These provisions ought, and doubt less will, have the effect of deterrins the ward heeler, the whisky vendor etc., from plying their vacations and primaries as well as genera elections should come much nearer than under former conditions to ex pressing the untrammeled will o1 the people.

MANY ENJOY FINE DAY,
The Warm Weather Made the Country Roads and Woods At-
 trrctive.

Sunday was as fine a spring day as any could well desire, and in the afternoon the roads Out from Mena were well occupied by those seeking rest and tion, the warm sun making umbrellas and shady hooks pleasant.
 Indications were everywhere that the farms and gardens are receiving much attention, and all look promising for good crops. Another week like the last will have the fruit trees all abloom, and so far all reports that ihe cold weather has destroyed the fruit proves to be without founda' tiuu.
 This region is indeed greatly blessed by a kind nature.

peer into even the cellar Of Thomas Jeffersons mind Chandler's reply was an assertion of inability to ascer- tain Judge Baldwin's opinion of the public utilities bilI-a confession of lack of intelligence. for Judge Baldwin has spoken very clearly uron the sub ject
 Big Noise" Chandler declares that Judge Baldwin has given out indefin- ite utterances, while Goodwin's state ments have been clear and unequfv- ocal
 As to Judge Baldwin's utterances, they are upon the campaign record and can be judged better by the peo- pie than by the spellbinder desirous only of scoring point, by misrepre- sentation if found necessary as in this case.
 As to Goodwin's alleged unequivocal statements, such utterances may al ways be best judged by the attendant conditions. One of them is that men known as generally working in the in terest of the greatest public service corporation in the State. were probably the most potent factors in the Good win-Lake contest and their labors were for Goodwin. Alleged uneGuiv- OcaI uIIeranCeS OO not count dSa1nSI such a fact. Public service corpora tions, especially the one in question, do not usually, if ever endorse tandi- dacies deemed inimical to their inter ests.
 It is eninently probable that ap- pointments to the public utilities com mission will be made by the Governor. whether he be Baldwin or Goodwin, unless the former should be elected and the Legislature should be Repub- lican, in which event the power of appointment would undoubtedly be re- tained by the Legislature.
 We know, and every one of unpre- judiced judgment knows, that as Gov ernor Judge Baldwin would make these appointments with sole reference to ability and impartiality; we do not know, nor does any one not Ion the inside, know the character of the appointments if made by Goodwin, but judging from one strong element of his support, they will not, in their major fty, be satisfactory to the people. Grapes don't grow on thorns, nor figs on thistles.

A FALSE CLAIM EXPOSED.

Among the claims put forward in
 support of the Taft Administration is
 this, that the President secured from Congress much of the legislation de-
 manded by the people and promised by
 the Republican National platform in
 1908. Among the legislation so char acterized, is the so-called railroad
 bil1', really an act in amendment of the Interstate Commerce law. Com
 menting upon this claim, Ray Stan
 nard Baker says, in the November
 American Magazine:
 Let anyone who is interested take up the Taft Wickersham bill as intro dueed in Congress (with the extraor- dinary and unpreceden demand that
 it be passed without change), and care fully compare it section by section with the law as finally enacted and it will be seen how far-how very, very far-Taft was from getting the legis- latfon that he advocated. If Taft's bill, drawn after many conferences with railroad presidents had passed it would have given the people not
 more, but less power over the great
 railroad corporations. It would have done for the railroad just what the Payne-Aldrich bill did for the pro- tected special interests; it would have
 been a revision upward" It was only after the bitterest sort of a fight on the part of the Insurgents that
 most of the obnoxious features of the bill were eliminated.
 Speaking upon this matter in the Senate on April 12th last, Senator La l Toilette of Wisconsin who was the
 most prominent factor in eliminating
 most of the obnoxious features of the | bill, declared that the statements and i arguments upon which the original bill was founded-"the bill which formed the nucleus about which the r9iIrnaHG l subsequently, arranged the really i'm portant provisions of this bill''-are not
 disclosed to Congress. sNor has the Attorney General deigned to make public the considerations placed before him by representatives of railroad financial interests which lead him to l make the changes which he did make l in this bill.'' Continuing, the Senator said:
 ls Never before has anyone undertaken I seriously to put through Congress a oppression of the commerce of this country such is carried in the devious language and hidden purposes | of this nea sure. Never before has it been attempted with the support Of the national administration and of the party organization in Congress, to 1 legislate for special privilege and 1 against the public interest and to l fasten irrevocably upon the commerce of the country the public burden of transportation charges to pay interest and dividends upon all the watered l stocks and bonds which unrestrain ed corporate greed has set af1oat in the financial channels of this country 1 Such was the railroad biIl'', pre-
 scented to Congress as an Administra- l tfon measure, but which was So
 amended by the Democrats and Insur-
 gents as to eliminate most of it's ob- | noxious features.
 | Now, it is seriously claimed that the
 measure, thus amended. should | inure to the credit of the Taft Admin | istra ton. Could anything be more | absurd?

MACK SHIFTS
 PARTY VICTORY
Democratic National Chair man Sees Landslide All Through Country, Includ- ing Connecticut.
Especial from United Press,

Buffalo, Oct. 26-Chairman Norman B. Mack, of the Democratic National committed, and Chairman James T. Lloyd, of the Democratic Congress sional Campaign committee, are out with election forefacts in the current number of the National Monthly.
 Its going to be a Democratic sweep from Maine to California" says Mack. Not in years have we witnessed such a fight as is being put up in every State in the union.''
 Mack sees certain victory for the Democrats in Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Kansas and California. ''No- where does there seem to be any party division,' says the chairman and even down in old New England there is a sniff of party victory in the air. Judge Baldwin's fight in Connecticut is a winning one and New Hampshire is sufficiently alarmed to send for Theodore Roosevelt to make a few speeches.
 Congressman Lloyd says: t'We are now able to estimate with some degree of accuracy the effect the appearance on the stump of ex-President Roose- welt will have on the election. Appar- ently it is not beneficial to either wing of the Republican party. for he has shown himself to be a safe 1nsurgent' nor a reliable 'stand-patter.' 2"
