SILENT ON TARIFF
IN LITTLE. RH0DY''

The Rhode Island situation is like that
Of Massachusetts,, in. that governor, A.
J. Pothier, is seeking reelection. Pothier'
however, is a Republican. His opponent
Lewis A. Waterman, charges him with
many acts of omission, and takes his
stand on progressive lines. He advocates
the initiative and referendum. Unlike
their party mates across the lines In
Massachusetts,. the Rhode Island Repub-
ucans are not saying a word about the
tariff Silence prevails on this subject
and no candidate, from the governor
down, has taken a public position on the
Payne-Aldrich law. The Tariff Publicity
League takes this silence as an indorse-
ment Of that law, however.
A constitutional amendment is also TO
be voted on this year in the smallest
State 1t provides for biennial elections
and, II approved by three-fifths of the
voters of the State, will abolish elections
and the accompanying disturbances Of
political campaigns and their attendant
expenses one year in every two after
next year. Waterman opposes this amend
ment, on the ground that IT would bring
State and national elections on the same
day. and delay the making of other

year in which there was no election.

BOSSES AND REFORMERs
IN CITY ELECTIONS

Among the city elections perhaps the
most important are those of Philadelphia
and Cincinnati. In the Pennsylvania city,
George W. Earle is the Republican nomi-
nee. He defeated William s. Ware at the
primaries, but his hands are now held up
by the Pefrose-McNichol machine, Of
which Senator Boies Penrose Is the headN
Earle is a man OF tried ability and is re-
membered among other things for his
work for the government against the
sugar trust. Philadelphia's reform ele-
ment fears, however, in spite Of Earle's
assurances and the recent astonishing
stand OF Penrose in favor OF commission
government and nonpolitical police, that,
II elected, Earle will be unable to avoid
the continuance of many of the evils from
which Phfladelphia has long suffered.
The champion Of reform, Rudolf Blank
enburg, has therefore been heartily sup
ported as the Keystone and Democratic
nominee. He is making a vigorous cam
paign. In Pittsburg and Harrisburg there
are also good fights against the Penrose
machine.
Reform again is making a brave fight
and what appears to be a successful one
in Cincinnati. There Henry T. Hunt, the
prosecuting attorney, has been put up
by the Democrats against the present
Mayor, Louis Schwab Schwab is the
man OF George B. Cox. the discredited
Republican boss. Young Hunt has drawn
his campaign on broad lines, and calls for
nonpartisan support against jobbery,
graft, and civic wrongdoing. The Re-
publican cohorts are much alarmed over
the situation.
Out in Utah, Salt Lake City is in the
midst Of a mayoralty fight, too. There
are four parties in the field. The Amer
ican party. which declares that it has
built up the city from a country town
to a metropolis in the last five years,
has put up John s. Branford. Many
Republicans are supporting him. also.
The Citizens party has put up Samuel
c. Park. 1t is charged that he Is the
choice of the Mormon Church, and that
ha stands for all that is reactionary
The Socialists have, to a great extent
Joined hands with the Americans. The
election will be held under the so-called
commission law.
Chicago will elect judges OF the su-
perior Court and a judge Of the Circuit
Court.
San Francisco has a number of mu-
nicipal officers to elect, including a dis
trict attorney. There is a sharp contest
for this place between Charles NJ Flick
ert. the incumbent, and Francis J.
Heney, sknown for his graft prosecu-
tons. Most of the newspapers are sup
porting Ftckert and are urging the peo-
pie to come out and vote.
State senators and members of as
sembly will be elected In Virginia. New
Jersey elects a legislature but no State
officials. In Nebraska, judges of the
Supreme Court a railroad commissioner,
and regents of the State University are
to be elected, as we'll as a successor to
the late Representative Latta in the
Third district. Five parties have tickets
in the field. There is no general elec-
tion in Kansas, but successors to the
late Representatives Mitchell and Madi-
son will be chosen.

BAY STATE ELECTION
HAS NATIONAL VIEW

The Massachusetts contest is easily the
most important from a national point OF
view. The outcome of the fight there be-
tween the present Democratic governor,
Eugene V. Foss, and the Republican lieu
tenant governor and gubernatorial candi-
date, Louis A. rockingham. will be
watched eagerly by the politicians of the
country, for issues of national moment
have been the mainstay Of the campaign
OF both sides.
The Republicans, although normally
the dominant party in local affairs, de-
liberateIy elected, under the leadership
of Senator Lodge, to pitch the campaign
upon national issues. Local issues can
not, of course. be altogether kept out, as
Gov. Foss administration OF one year Is
under fire, but Democratic prospects,
have been vastly enhanced by the stand
pat tariff plank forced In the Repubii-
can State platform.
Foss is out for thorough-going tariff
revision and reduction, and claims also
the introduction of progressive principles
of government, such as labor compensa-
tion laws, the shortening Of the hours
of work, and the direct primaries now In
force In his State. rockingham, content
to stand on his record in the assembly
and as lieutenant governor, calls his op-
ponent an insincere bungler, and pleads
for the protection of Massachusetts, IN
dustry. Foss, who is himself manu-
facturer on a large scale, charges that
rockingham is in league with the in
terests," and has not the welfare of the
whole people at heart. The campaign
has been marked by a number of unusual
incidents, including the "heckling" of the
Republican candidate by Miss Margaret
A. Foley, the suffragist, who persistently

Even as late as the Chicago convention
Of 1903, at which Senator La Toilette
was a candidate for President, Senator
Stephenson is said to have stood in a
financial relation to his colleague that
encouraged the La Toilette managers to
wait upon Mr.. Stephenson and honor
him with an invitation to pay the bills
for the La Toilette headquarters in the
Grand Pacific Hotel at Chicago.
1T is said that he held further invi-
tations to win distinction by becoming
the Mark Hanna of Senator La Fol-
lette's Presidential aspirations, but de-
cIined to enter upon this new field of
political conquest. In time he therefore
became disliked by the La Toilette men,
and he did not enhance his popularity
with them when he refused to retire
from the race for reelection, and eX-
pended more than S1O0,OOO to show the
La Toilette men that he was really alive
and a prime favoTfte with the common
people in the Wisconsin Statewide pri-

SENATOR BAILEY
GIVES UP His SEAT
Pressure of Business" His
Reason This Time.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Houston, Tex, Nov. 4-Positive con-
firmation of the second resignation of
Senator Joseph Bailey from the United
States Senate has been furnished from
officials here who state that the Sena-
tor, in a letter 10 Gov. Colquitt, has
reiterated the request that he be re-
Heved from public office within a short
time.
The second resignation, it is stated,
has been accepted despite the protests
of many. Senator Bailey gives as his
reason the pressure of business which
it is stated, was responsible for his first
effort to leave the Senate. According to
report, r. NJ. johnson, of the Houston
Post, will succeed Senator Bailey in
office. Mr.. johnson has been associated
with Senator Bailey for years.
When informed last night that tele-
grams had arrived in Washington an
his second, and successful, resig-
nation from the Senate, Senator Bailey
fatty and f1uently refused to discuss tie
report. His only assertion was that the
telegram had been sent to Washington
by the Houston Chronicle. For that rea-
son, he said, he would give out abso-
lutely nothing.
That paper is the one that has been
nbeling me for years." said he, "and 1t
knows very well that I would not give
it anything. / don't propose to say at
this time whether 1 will resign or not.
When 1 get ready to resign the Houston
Chronicle will be the paper to which 1
will send no word"
Senator Bailey would say nothing con-
cerning his future plans. He positively
declined to state whether he would join
the legal force of the Standard Oil Com
pany or not

BRYAN A FIGURE
KENTUCKY BATTLE

There is a great deal of lively cam
paigning going on in Kentucky, where ex-
Senator James b. McCreary is opposed
to z. c. ORear, who left the Supreme
Court bench in order to run for governor
on the Republican ticket. Judge O'Rear
has been employing many modern devices
to make the campaign attractive, Juggling
into the mountains by pack train the
necessary apparatus for moving picture
shows and illustrated lectures The
mountain folk have shown lots of interest
in this kind of campaigning, and have
ridden in for miles to be present when
the caDdidate spoke. In the more access
sible parts of the State, O'Rear has been
travelling by special train, and has met
Wth enthusiastic receptions. At Paints
vile recently, he was met at the station
by 500 mounted men bearing flags and
banners, who escorted him to his place
of speaking. 1t was estimated that 1000
had come in from the surrounding coun-
try to hear him.
The Republicans assert that the success
of O'Rear's campaign caused William
Jennings Bryan to come to the rescue of
Kentucky Democrats; but be that as II
may, the Nebraskan did come, and has
been touring the State, also in a special
train. He. of course, has spoken for Nc
Creary and the State ticket, but the chief
concern which he showed was for the
election of Ollie James to the Senate. AS
the Louisville Herald put 1t, James was
the apple Of his eye" Champ Clark,
Speaker of the House. Nand ]. w. c.
Beckham. ex-governor of Kentucky, were
also Of this Bryan touring party. A o.
Stanley, chairman OF the committee of
Congress investigating the steel trust,

The fight is a hot one, and Kentucky
has been living up to its traditions for
keeping things warm. An interesting
side issue in the State of horses and
blue grass is a nonpartisan movement
in Lexington to secure the commission
form Of government for that city. This
plan. defeated once before, win be voted
on Tuesday.

Crandal Mackey, Commonwealth's at
torney of Alexandria County, Va, and
candidate for reelection, is confident of
victory over his opponent, r. L. c. Mon
cure. Mr.. Mackey has rested his case
and is awaiting the verdict of the voters
to be rendered on Tuesday. Mr.. Mackey
ended his political campaign at a big
mass meeting at Cherrydale, Friday
night.
Mr.. Moncure will push his fight up to
the last minute. Meetings in his be-
half were held last night at Ballston
and Bancroft, and tomorrow night there
will be a gathering in the AlexSndria
County courthouse, at which Mr.. Mon
cure will show stereopticon views to re-
flute his opponents assertion that there
is not a gambling house In the county.
Fight Narrows Down.
The fight for the position of Common
wealth's attorney has been narrowed
down to two candidates. James E.
Clements was in the field until a late
hour, when he withdrew, pledging his
support to Mr.. Moncure. Mr.. Clements
said that he was of the belief that II he
remained in the contest the anti-Mackey
vote would be split and the in
cumbent would be reelected. 1t was a
question as to who should withdraw,
Clements or Moncure. Four arbiters-A.
Davis, jr., and F. w. Graham. repre-
senting Mr. Clements. and A. ]. Symonds
and c. r. Pritchard, representing Mr..
Moncure-were appointed to decide which
candidate should withdraw. The decision
was announced yesterday.
The political campaign has been warm
one, full of accusations and personalities
The fight between the candidates for the
office of Commonwealth attorney has
been one of the fiercest
Remainder of Ticket.
The most persistent attack during the
entire campaign, however, has been upon
George H. Rucker, present county clerk,
who is running against Harry r. Thomas.
William H. Palmer, the present sherin,
is being opposed by Jacob E. Birch.
There are five candidates for the posi-
ton of commissioner of revenue-Curtis
B. Graham, William Duncan, Arthur
Vetch, s. w. Corbett, and Robert s
Crowley.
All of the candidates in the county are
Democrats. 1t is believed that the resi-
dents will turn out in force at the cleo
ton. Tuesday. A heavy vote doubtless
will be polled.

BENEFITS OF EDUCATION.
Head of University Quotes Figures

Boston. Nov 4.-Lemuel Herbert
MurIin, president of Boston University,
sponsors the statement that the youth
who has had a sigh school education
has 500 chances of success to the single
chance of the boy who quit when he
was in grammar school Also that the
college graduate has 200 chances to
one against the youth of the common
schools. DR.. Murlin's figures are based
on the history of $4,000 eminent Amer
icans who lives are written of in the
Encyclopedias OF American Biography.
DR.. Murlin also favors co-education.
'.Education has no limitations of
sex" he said, except that very natu-
rally a woman will gravitate toward
the thing that belongs TO her. The
Lord only once In a great while gives
to q family daughters only or sons
only, and 1 don't see where we can
separate them. A mere accident OF sex
should not operate against a woman's
receiving the same education as a
man."
