THE ELFCTION SITUATION.

RTOW that each party has nominated its can
IN didate for Mayor, the way is clear for the
eeciion The campaign will be brief, but there
is ample opportunity for the voters to consider
the points involved
1t is not time for the citizens TO be indifferent
Ii is an important contest and should mean much
for the welfare of the city
BY The denomination OF Mayor Spruance the ma
jority Of the Democrats Of the city have stamped
their approval upon him and his administration
Fy rejecting several of the Councilmen who
sought denomination, they have voiced their dis
approval of those Counoilmen Mr. Kane in his
district received the unanimous Endorsement OF
his party. If the Democrats control Council 1t is
natural to suppose that we shall have Mr.. Kane
in the saddle again as Chairman of the Finance
Committee There is no good reason TO expect that
the Councilmanc conduct of the affairs OF the
city would be different from what it has been
The Democrats have not the advantage this time OF
making promises, OF wheedhng the voters into ao-
cepting them as leaders who are going to give us
a new deal Democratic victory means contnu-
alton of the present regime, and it is FOR the vot-
ers to say whether the city shall be conducted by
those who have made such a failure that they
have been frequently rebuked by their friends.
On the other hand the Republicans have nomi-
mated on the whole good ticket, one free and un-
pledged They certainly do not fear a compare
son Of the record of the former Republican admin
istration with that of the present Democratic ad-
minstration They have the advantage, for not
only does their record more than stand the test
Of reasonable comparison, but there is every kind
Of promise that the new Republican admnstra-
ton, if the voters elect the Republican ticket the
new administration headed by Dr. Howell as
Mayor, will give the city a satisfactory deal.
There can be no mstaking the present political
situation. 1t IS plain as the nose on ones face.
And if voters 90 TO the polls they should,
there will be. The Journal believes, no doubt Of
the result II is for the Republicans and the in
dependent voters to decide.
Evening journal., 1911-05-23
ONE IDEA KNOCKED OUT.

n NE of the results of the Democratic primary
~ election is that the government by commit
tees idea was knocked in the head The oppo-
nents of Mayor Spruance instead of going at him
hammer and tongs in an open fight just as he went
at them, tried roundabout method to knock
him out but they did not succeed. The idea of put
ting forth several candidates and then making a
harmony plea which if successful would have
eomplished by indirecton what it proves to be
could not be accomplished by direction-the re
tirement of the Mayor-proyes to have been
false step on the part OF the leaders in the anti
Spruance campaign among the Democrats.
There ought TO be lesson in this for all men
interested in politics. The lesson is that the peo-
pie are looking askance at this committee notion,
the making up of states by few men without
consulting the interests or wishes of the man at
the polls Some of the opponents of DR.. Spruance
declare that he will be defeated. The chances
are heavily in favor Of his defeat because, as one
reason the Republicans have very fine candidate
for Mayor, but any Democratic candidate nomi-
mated by committee comforting behind closed
doors, would have been beaten worse than Dr.
Spruance probably will be.

SUIT AGAINST THE LUMBER INTERESTS

IT HE decision in the Standard Oil case will not
4 cause the government to relax in the slight
est degree the warfare it has been waging against
the alleged illegal combinations. Proceedings
have been brought against the so-caed lumber
trust The allegations made by the Government
conspiracy in restraint of trade, conspiracy 10
maintain high prices, the blacklistng Of concerns
not doing business according to the notions OF
the trust and general violations of the Sherman
Antitrust act. The Government will attempt
to show that builders and consumers of lumber
throughout the country have been in the grip of
the alleged conspirators.
OF course the charges remain to be proved, but
the fact that the Government has brought suit will
create the impression that there is something rad
icay wrong in the way the alleged trust does
business.
1t is TO be hoped that the case will be pushed
with expedition. There is no reason why there
should be a great delay The good of the public
and of the lumber dealers and builders is at stake.
The Standard Oil case dragged and dragged be-
fore a decision was reached, but it is to be hoped
that the delay will not be so long in disposlng of
the lumber suit Time is an important factor in
proceedings Of this kind, and in many respects
the lumber case is as important as that of the
Standard Oil. Justice should not move with leaden
heels.
If the law is not sufficient to relieve the people
from the extortions Of the trusts there will have
to be new law. The Supreme Court decision is
not TO be taken as a protection of oppressive mo-
nopolies If it proves to be such, the fight against
monopoies will be renewed all along the line.
