Has Dix SPLIT with Tammanyl


Boss" Murphy of Tammany de-
mands the election OF William F.
Sheehan, the law partner of Alton B.
Parker. for senator from New York.
Governor DIX is said to be keeping his
hands of the fight, but the governors
personal attorney and one Of his most
intimate personal friends are active in
the support OF Edward NJ. Shepard.
Another strong personal friend of the
governor, Seymour Vansantvoord, has
been proposed as a third man in the
race to capture the prize away from
Sheehan II Shepard fails.
The question that now arises is,
Has the governor so soon split with
Tammany7 For It will scarcely do
to say that he and Tammany we're not
on friendly terms during the cam
paign. II will be remembered that
the leading democratic papers of New
York City declared that at the state
convention which nominated Mr.. Dix
the party was "mercilessly" in the
grasp of Boss" Murphy, and that 1t
had never been more completely die
tated to and dominated by Tammany.
out of such a condition Mr.. Dix, as
the opponent of this same Mr.. shep-
ard, was nominated for governor.
And there we're many delegates not
committed TO Shepard, who did not
favor Dix. Some of these delegates,
democratic papers asserted, went hat
in hand" to Boss" Murphy, seeking
permission TO name their man or men,
but Mr.. Dix was nominated.
1t is only fair to conclude, then,
that Mr.. Dix was the choice of Tam
many and got on nicely enough with
the Tiger during the campaign. Does
Mr.. Dix, like one or two other dis
tinguished men who might he named.
think that Tammany is a good friend
to tie to while running for ONCE, but
a bad one after election? II that be
the case, we have the interesting spec
tacle of another new alignment in
democratic politics and split within
a split. sure to have its influence be-
yond that states lines.

king that the example will have a marked
effect in their own ranks. The democratic
successes OF 1910 were won by republican
inaction, not by democratic principles nor
any accession OF democratic voters. The
highest democratic vote in all the states
must be sought IN former years. In Mis-
souri, the democratic high mark was In
1896, and the second highest in 1900. This
lack OF growth in substantial strength and
the lack OF platform vitality will be ex-
tensively shown in the democratic proceed

no definite policy, that gains no recruits.
and that must go years into the past for
its maximum voting strength. Is holding on

abolish the emergency ration Of the army.
The effort in that direction met with con-
siderable resistance on the part of the

casion Of a special report by Commissary
General Sharpe. So far as Is known at the
War department, only one officer of the
subsistence department has been an advo-
cate Of the abolition Of the ration. The
main reasons for keeping the ration as a
part Of the food supply Of the army has
been the fact that It is substitute for
nothing at all in the way OF food for SOL
diers in time Of war. Under such circum.
stances the precautionary measure appeals
to the officers as desirable, leaving for
those who do not wish TO use the ration the
privilege OF going without IT,

The War department has not yet ruled
on the question Of holding tournaments
during the present year. in reply 20
numerous requests received from leading
cities In all parts Of the country. Some
Of the military authorities hold 10 the
view that the participation BY the armv
in spectacles OF this sort. however enter
tanning and instructive and edifying such
events may be to the civilian bcholder,
is a grave mistake, not TO say downright
waste Of time. II has been felt. on the
other hand. that the military establish
ment was. somehow or other. benefited
by the public appearance Of the troops In
the various stunts required OF them and
in which they engage with cheerfulness
and abundant action; but there is = Sc
Hous question whether this Is really the
case. and it has become a matter OF some
importance TO determine anew the exact
value Of the tournaments in connection
with the time taken in travel by regular
troops and with the draft for the purpose
upon the appropriation for army transpor-
tation. II has been decided by the War
department TO shelve the whole question
until II is known what amount congress
will give this year for this transportation
under the auartermaster's department. Il
will then be possible to estimate how
much Of the fund can be spared for any
thing not OF a strictly military character
II is realized that It will be impossible to
adopt any policy in the matter and adhere
to IT, The department strove to do that
when il made a rule that no city should
have a representation of the army at
tournament more than once. and that
there should be some limit placed on the
number OF tournaments. with army
patronage. within the boundaries Of
military department, and so on. Influ-
ence has come TO smash all such rules. ss
II always does and always will. and prob
ably that same potent factor will aid in
the determination Of the present question
quite much as any purely military or
administrative factor
