HOW TO BEAT MURPHY.

New York World.
The World gives it's unqualified in
dorsement to Gov. Wilson's policy of
non-intervention in the contest against
Charles F. Murphy. The duty of rid
ding the Democratic party of the
blight of Murphyism does not rest up
on the Democratic candidate for pres
ident. It rests upon the 100000 DEM
ocratic voters of New York.
We do not believe in the superman
theory of government We do not
believe that a resident of New Jersey,
however eminent, should be expected
to do the work of the Democrats of
New York. If they cannot save
selves from stupid and corrupt boss
rule, they do not reserve salvation.
The way to beat Murphy is not to
appeal to Woodrow Wilson but to APP
peal to the enrolled Democrats who
will vote in the primaries next fall.
Murphy cannot control the Democratic
State Convention unless he has ma
pority of the delegates. He cannot

have majority of the delegates un-
less his delegates are chosen at the
primaries. If the Democrats of Brook
Ign refuse their allegiance to the
Tammany boss and his local under
lings, if the Democrats up the State
refuse to send Murphy men to the
convention, the control of the party
can be wrested from Murphys hands.
Now is the time for the Democratic
newspapers of the State to prove their
courage and independence and capac-
ity for public service. The leadership
in this contest belongs to them and
the responsibility rests upon them.
Let them present the issue clearly
and plainly and forcefully to their
| readers, and Murphy can be beaten
The great majority of New York
Democrats do not want Charles F.
Murphy to name their candidate for
Governor. They do not want Charles
F. Murphy to appoint Judges of the
Court OF Appeals. They do not
want the Murphy system of govern
ment by contracts extended through
out the State. The do not want their
party machinery in the hands of the
boss who disgraced New York at Bal
timore. But they will never make
the fight against him unless they are
stirred into action.
If the clean-cut issue of Murphy
ism can be effectively presented to the
Democratic voters at the Democratic
primaries, the Democratic party will
no longer be at the mercy of the
stupid boss of Tammany. Gov viii
son has enough to do without tryins
to clean up the Democratic party il
New York. Let 100000 Democrats
voters do this for themselves, for thei
State and for their country.
