To All Who Vote This Year for the
First Time
You are about to choose sides. You
cannot choose upon the basis of what
cause the present happens to be rad
ically unlike the past, particularly il
America Conditinos have changed
so fast within the last few years II
the United States that nothing re
mains the same that it was. either il
politics, in industry, or in trade
Parties must deal with a new age.
1t is for that reason that parties
have of late seemed TO be breaking
up and that their programs have be
come confused Their old way o
looking at national questions does
not suit the matters they have tt
deal with The Republican party is
going to pieces because it has usef
its power in the wrong way, anc
those men who acknowledge the fact
have become insurgents" The
Democratic party has seemed, once
and again, to break up into groups
because great varieties of opinion
were to be found among those who
called themselves Democrats, and nc
common responsibility for the present
conduct of the Federal government
has obliged them to draw together
Wherever Democrats have been in
trusted with power and responsible

States and the lower branch of Con
gress, they have shown no uncertain
ty of purpose.

"First Take Care of the interests"

Federal Government throughout tn
greater part of the last fifty years
and throughout that period, the perio
during which America was gainin

How Hatfield
WasNonlirlated
SIX COUNTIES GAVE HIM MORE
THAN ONE THIRD OF HIS
TOTAL VOTE,
ELECTION METHODS IN EACH OF
THESE COUNTIES HAVE
BEEN NOTORIOUS.
LITTLE IN PRIMARY RESULTS TO
MAKE HIM APPEAR PEO-
PIES CHOICE.

More than two-thirds of the vote at
the primary election which resulted
in the nomination of the Republican
State ticket was cast in six counties,
while the remaining 40 counties cast
less than a third of the vote. The
six counties in which the heavy vote
was cast are notorious for the cor
rupt methods employed at elections
and primaries, and in these counties
the largest majorities were given to
the Republican nominees,
Two things are apparent from the
results-first, that the nominees
were not named by the majority of
the Republicans in the State, but by
the comparatively few in the half
dozen counties mentioned; and Sec
ondly that their nominations were
made by counties whose political
methods are known to be disreput-
able. 1t would seem that the candi-
dates have little claim on the voters
in the Republican party and none on
those of the Progressive or Demo
cratic parties for support, in view
of the circumstances surrounding
their nomination.
The account of the primary. as
given by the Huntington Advertiser
of June 10, last, is as follows:

"Chaff like hat will catch young

he continued, but they represent the

the minds OF the laity. They do not

The veteran then commiserated the

he asserts that his team got the wors
of it. especially when il played New
York. He referred to the suspension
last season of Sherwood Magee. star
Philadelphia outfielder, and then stat
ed that other club owners have COM
planned to him that they lost games to
New York through favoritism by UNI
pires. Mr.. Fogel quoted Charles Eb-
belts, of the Brooklyn club as saying
that the umpires aimed to stand in
with New York, figuring that as long
as they are in good standing with
New York they are C in their po-
sitions, the New York club being the
power behind the throne OF President
Lynch.
Fogel declares that he asked a num-
Der of magnates how many games they
thought had beef given to New York
by the umpires. Five owners whom he
asked answered from two to six.
But say that each of seven clubs
suffered to the extent of only three
games out Of the twenty-five played
with the Giants" continued Fogel."
They would put up a total of q games
in New York's won column which
We're presented by the umpires. Take
