THE OHIO LESSON.

The action Of the Ohio Democrats in
making certain the election of Lieutenant
Governor Atlee Pomerene to the United
States Senate should be an object lesson
to legislatures in the other States where
conflicts are raging between the forces of
reaction and progress, between clean poll
tics and bossism, between the people and
the special interests
In New Jersey the situation is exactly
similar to that which existed in Ohio.
MARITIME is the choice Of the people, he is a
progressive. he is unaffiliated with the par
tisan machine. Smith is the choice of the
special interests, he is reactionary, he is
backed by an Organization" similar to that
which sought to bring about the election
of Hanley in Ohio. Marines position is
even stronger than was Pomerene's, in that
he had a popular Endorsement for the Sena-
t0rship at the last State election. Wood
row Wilson. the Governor-elect, is energet-
ically espousing the cause of MARITIME. But
the machine in New Jersey is strong. and
the State has long ago become accustomed
to domination by the corporations and the
machine bosses. The fighters under Wood
row Wilson who are striving for progress
and honesty should be encouraged by the
result in Ohio. They should take to heart
the lesson that the machine can be beaten
if public sentiment is thoroughly aroused

SIX YEARS EOR PRESIDENT

Champ Clark, of Missouri, who, as has
been mentioned few million times, will
be the next Speaker Of the House Of Rep
resentatives. thinks it would be good idea
to amend the Constitution so that Presi-
dent might serve six years and be forever
ineligible for reelection. He'd also have
members of the House Of Representatives
serve three years.
Il am in favor of amending the Consti-
tuition" said Mr.. Clark, 80 as to elect the
President for one term of six years and
be forever ineligible for reelection. am
in favor of that, because every time there
is President extraordinarily popular lot
of fools boom him for a third term.
IF the presidential term is made for six
years, am in favor of making the term of
representatives in Congress three years.
Then the States falling into that rule would
have an election every three years."
Mr.. Clark also wants both the President
and representatives in Congress elected on
the last Monday in August, and the Presi-
dent and the members Of Congress inau-
gurated on the first Monday in October.
All the rules as to time, ETC., were made
for the stage-coach period, he says.

WOULD ELIMINATE POWER or
THE DOLLAR.

Advocating hewing down the expendi-
lures Of what is known as legitimate cam
paign funds. Governor Crothers on Monday
said that in his judgment amendments
should be made to the Corrupt Practices
act which shall prohibit the employment
Of runners. messengers and challengers
and the use of conveyances to bring voters
to the polls.
While the present law has thrown many
safeguards around the use of money in
campaigns, there are many loopholes which
allow party to spend vast sum in every
campaign. A candidate can employ as
many runners, messengers and challengers
as he sees fit and it is estimated that, even
under the present law, each party will
spend about $4,000 in State campaign
Campaign expenses should be cut to
the limit" said the Governor Money
should be spent only for the real necessi.
ties and, in my judgment, they are not
many. Suppose each party spends $780,.
900 in a campaign, Does either get any
advantage from the use of the money
Wouldn't they be on the same footing il
neither party spent any money! II is neces.
sary, of course, for the parties to hold meet
ings so that the issues of the campaign can
be brought to the attention of the voters
The law should allow party managers tC
pay the expenses Of these meetings and
their advertisement
Il cannot see why 1t is necessary for a
party to employ runners to bring voters
TO the polls They should be interested
enough in the election to come and vote
either without being hauled or sent for.
How can you accomplish anything in
government if you make people think it is
all question Of money and not public
policyG There is much discussion concern
ing the method Of making out the accounts
of campaign expenses. Let us cut down
the amount that can be lawfully expended
To-day there is not a man who would
rise in the Legislature and ask for the
repeal Of the Corrupt Practices act. The
parties realize the justice and wisdom Of
the law, but let us make il stronger; so
strong that the power Of the dollar in
Maryland politics may be absolutely des-
trOyed. Let the young man without money
have fair chance.
For the last several years the Democrats
Of Cecil county have been steadily hewins
down campaign expenses. At the last cleo
