Farmers in Canada are quite as
much against reciprocity as are the
farmers in Ohio and other states, ac-
cording to reports brought back by
PERSONS who have travelled in the Do
minlon. They are saying many bitter
things about President Taft. One pa
Ter called him a scoundrel. The OBJ
Jectlon OF many persons seems to be
that they will be giving Canadian
markets TO American producers. II
seems strange that farmers of both
countries should oppose the treaty on
the same ground.
The city of Newark certainly re-
moved the menace that hung over it's
good name IL the Democratic nomina-
ton for mayor on Tuesday. Ex-Mayor
Atherton of that city who was re-
moved by Governor Harmon in July,
1910. in consequence of his gross
neglect OF duty on the night OF the
lynching tragedy. has been running
FOR the Democratic nomination for
atother term of the office, and raised
the issue that he was entitled to q
One of his followers
did some loud talk in the city of CO.
3umbus few weeks ago that they
proposed to vindicate Atherton even
Enough II meant a rebuke to Gov
crnorl Ymon on the partl Of New
DIRK. ts'~ ~ Nsf' HN ~
n Thc candidacy of Atherton has ere
hted considerable tdiscusaon over tho
state. '.he effect being that the good
bame OF Newark, was greatly threat
ened. / 1T becAnie understood, as a
matter of course. that Atherton's NOM
inatlon would mean an endorsement
cf the lynching tragedy, and this
would cause greater damage to the
RI putation of that city than the enaot-'
ment of the original crime. The situ-
etion seems to have called for serious
action on the part of Newark Demo-
crats, and the Advocate, the party
organ, we'll known throughout the
state for It's valuable services to the
Democratic cause for many years,
took a strong stand against Ather-
tens nomination. j. IL. Newton, the
editor announced in his pape rthat
he would not support Atherton's
nomination and would use every pow
er at his command to defeat his cleo
tion. Editor Newton has been splen-
didly vindicated in the result on Tues
day. Atherton was defeated at the
primaries, coming out third In the
race.
The price Of sugar goes steadily
upward. The sugar boys must get
back the money they raid out In fines
for cheating the government, and they
must get /. back before the tariff IS
lowered.
There is an ominous silerce at Bev-
erly. Mr.. Taft is selecting the words
which will best fit in his denunciation
Of the Republican prosressives during
his swing around the United States.
