(eUWoW

Former Freebooter John Seaman, of
the Seventh Ward is known by probably
every Democrat in that ward inc by
q good many In different parts of the
city. When asked to run for office last
year he refused on the ground that a
man gets too popular when he is en-
ployed by the county or city. A long
line of Job seekers usually greets such
a man when he wakes in the morning
and they pull him out of bed at night.
Mr.. Seaman is a staunch organization
man.. Honest John" as he is called
by his friends, was'a hard worker pri-
mary day, getting out the vote for his
favorite, Champ Clark.
James NJ. Reilly, secretary of the Board
Of Trade. and one of Newark's 'livest
wires is highly pleased with the sue
cess OF the recent industrial exposition,
and never tires of singing its praises or
listening to the many compliments he
receives on account of his activity in the
exposition affairs. He will talk freely on
all matters of public nature, but there Is
zone incident connected with the exposi-
ton that causes a shudder to pass down
the esteemed secretary's vertabrae n
which he refuses TO discuss.
As told by an associate, Mr.. Reilly was
seated alone In the Board of Trade Of
Aces at the exposition on one of the
busiest nights, when a lady, inclined TO
be stout, rushed into the office, and
thrusting a 3-year-old boy into his arms,
begged him to mind her baby while she
sought her husband. Mr.. Reilly obliged
the woman, thinking she would return in
a few minutes, but it was almost an hour
that Mr.. Reilly held the strange laddie
In his arms, much TO his chagrin, and the
amusement Of the attaches Of the Office
who had come In later.
When the efficient secretary espied the
cause of his dlscomposure sauntering leis-
urely about the aIsles near the Office he
rushed to her and thrust the boy back
into her arms and beat a hasty retreat.
He did not get away too quick, how
ever. to hear the lady murmur:
"Oh! Thank you ever so much. just
happened to think that my husband did
not come with me tonight"

UNIT RULE AND TWO-THiRDS RULE.

PTS HE new primary method of selecting delegates to national
nominating conventions has an important bearing on the
unit rule, the adoption of which by a State convention
obliges the delegates to, vote as a unit for the candidate favored
by the delegation majority. In States like New Jersey, where the
delegates-atlarge are elected in the primaries, no State conven.
lions are held and no unit rule instructions can be given. In Ohio
n State convention elects the delegatesat1arge. OF the fortytwo
Democratic delegates fourteen are for Wilson and all the rest for
Harmon. The Wilson men refuse to be bound by a unit rule
Ii adopted by the State convention and the fight will probably be
carried to the Baltimore convention. This, again, may bring up
The question of the abrogation of the rule regarding a two thirds
vote TO nominate at Baltimore.

WILBUR WRIGHT, AvxA7YoN,s PIONEER.

MA ILBUR WRIGHT, who with his younger brother Orvile
WV first made it possible for man to fly like a bird, was
the perfect type of useful American genius. Modest
and retiring through a career of achievement that has created a
new era for the civilized world, he pursued his studious way, a
scientist and not an exhibitor. His death leaves his brother,
an inventor of similar type, to carry out the development of prac-
tical aviation, of which they were the pioneers. With them
aeroplaning has been a serious business for the service of man
in the arts of peace or the stern necessities of war. and not a
sport or a spectacle for the multitude. Wilbur and Oryile
Wright will have their names Inscribed high in the hall of fame
among the great pathfnders of human progress.

WOMEN ON THE POLITICAL STUMP.

WAV 18th women in six States qualified to vote for President
WY and the possibility that a seventh may be added to the
list in time for the November election, a large field is
opened for the female spellbinder. California, Colorado, Idaho,
| tab, Washington and Wyoming together have thirty seven cleo
toral votes and Ohio would swell the number to sixty-one from
States where women have a voice in national politics. Women
may be expected to appear on the stump in all the equal suffrage
States this fall. Such is the plan of the Republican National
Committee, and the Democrats will be wise to follow the ex-
ample. Anna Dickinson spoke for Lincoln, Grant and Hayes;
Mrs Lease for Mckinley, and Mrs. Sullivan for Blaine and Har-
fison, but their appeals were to men. The women orators of
lol2 will be addressing their own sex, and the votes of women
may decide the next presidency of the United States. Two
women delegates from California will sit in the Republican ma
tional convention next month.

THE CHICAGO PLATFORM.

MAF equal Importance with the nomination of a presidential
w candidate at Chicago will be the adoption of a platform,
and the platform will depend on the candidate. A Taft
platform indorsing all the acts of the administration, defending
it's gross scandals and upholding a tariff for trusts, would be
expected. a Roosevelt platform must necessarily condemn the
administration and reprobate its policies and pronounce for a
reasonable downward revision of the tariff. The spectacle of "A
Republican national convention compelled to dsavow a Republic
ran administration and virtually pinory a Republican President
will be a novel one in our politics.

q PEAKER CLARK'S strict attention TO duty at his post in

INCONSISTENCY IN ATLANTIC.

IT n Atlantic county, while the Taft delegates secured a ma iority,
the preferential vote was for Roosevelt. The same curious
contradiction was witnessed in Massachusetts of a delegate
vote one way and a preference vote the other way. But the per.
onality of the delegates is necessarily a factor. The voter
.avors the delegate candidate personally, but not the principle he
represents, unmindful of the fact that his vote for the delegate
is a sacrifice of the principle. Republican popular sentiment in
atlantic is no doubt the same as elsewhere in New Jersey, and
If the personnel on the ticket had been eliminated doubtless the
verdict would have been the same.
