How the Campaign Progresses
Progressive Democratic Republican
HAS
HOT c. 0. I. FIGHT
Four Candidates for Head of
Ticket Apparently Run
ming Even Race.

HARTFORD, Conn, Sept. 11.-When
the State Republican convention re-
sumed its session today to name State
officers and seven presidential electors
the uncertainty as to the ticket had
not cleared up. The four candidates
for the first place seemed to be run
ming an even race. although after the
New Haven delegation had declared
for Lieutenant Governor Blakeslee as
against his fellow townsman, John ].
P. Studley, there was a drift towards
the former.
Through the night conferences were
held In the interest of party harmony,
but nothing was accomplished. The
State Central Committee found its
usefulness was limited to simply pro-
viding means for expediting business,
SO that the hall may be vacated in
time to let the Democrats move in
for their State convention this eve
ming.
United States Senator George p.
Mclean, in his speech as temporary
chairman, eulogized the Republican
party, which, he said, had done more
to promote the material, moral and
mental advancement of mankind than
any other political organization in
history"
Senator Mclean vigorously criti-
cized the Progressive movement, de-
claring the -Progressives an army
modified at Armageddon," whose
purpose 1t is to destroy.

PENROSE DESERTS
C. 0. P. COHORTS
Pennsylvania Senator Organ
ICES Lincoln Party" Which
Senator Finn Will Fight.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 11.-Sena-
tor Penrose has deserted the Republic
can party. The news was flashed
from Harrisburg that Chief Clerk
Harry Wits, of the Penrose-McNichol
Republican city committee, had given
official notice of the Penrose desertion
of the G. o. p. by filing preemption
papers with the prothonotary, for the
title Lincoln party"
The Lincoln appelation has been
filed already for a number of dis
tricts throughout the State. But Wit
tig's appearance yesterday with a
huge bundle of petitions was the first
concrete evidence of Penrose's deser-
ton, and his intention to organize a
real Penrose party, and name as can
didates for presidential electors and
every other office in sight, men who
will bear the Penrose trademark.
Senator Finn has declared wal on
the proposed Lincoln party, announc-
ing IL the Lincoln party is formed the
twenty-four Roosevelt electors will
not resign from the Republican ticket,
thereby giving Roosevelt twenty-four
and Taft only fourteen of the electors
running on the same ticket with the
President.
State Chairman WATSON, too, is bit
terly opposed to the movement, and
issued this statement:
Formation of such a party with a
Taft electoral ticket and opposition to
the Republican State ticket could be
of no help to the Presidents cause,
and in my judgment would seriously
weaken his entire vote"

WILSON is CRITICISED
FOR ACTION BY BAIRD

JERSEY CITY, Sept. 11.-Former
State Assessor David Baird, who is
the Republican leader in South Jer-
sey, while in Jersey City as a guest
of the John Rotterdam Association,
sale that it looked at present as If
Governor Wilson would win the Presi-
dency.
.I believe, however," he added,
that as the campaign progresses
President Taft will grow stronger
and that he will eventually be re-
elected"
Discussing Governor Wilson'S re-
cent statement in criticism of the
candidacy of former United States
Senator James Smith, jr., for United
States Senator, Mr.. Baird said:
"I believe that instead of hurting
Smith Wilson has strengthened
Smith. What right has Wilson to at
tack Smith for entering the United
States Senatorial primaries? Smith
is perfectly within his rights. Will
son acts as though he was the only
Democrat. If that isn't bossism ]

ernor was entirely uncalled for. II

.BLAMES WILSON
FOR HIS ATTITUDE
Former Supporter of Governor
Asks Why Executive Has
Changed Position.

TRENTON, Sept. 1.-THE with
drawal of George w. Young from the
race for the United States senator
ship has precipitated a discussion be-
tween supporters of Messrs. Gebhardt
and Wescott.
The Gebhardt followers accuse
Judge Wescott of disclosing some of
the secrets of the Sea Grit conference
in a form advantageous to the Cam
den candidate. Meantime Mr.. Hughes
is said to have the governors favor
us between the three.
Charles H. Gallagher, a city leader,
who was Governor Wilson's lieuten-
ant in Trenton in the campaign for
the gubernatorial nomination, Is now
an ardent supporter of former United
States Senator James Smith. j. He
told in vigorous language today of his
change of heart.
st was for Wilson for governor
said Mr.. Gallagher, "and made a lot
of enemies in Mercer county, for my
friends thought / should nave been
for Katzenbach. There didn't seen
to be any objection to Mr.. Smiths
aid then. Why should 1t be thought
such a great offense when Mr.. Smith
now exercises the right under Gov
ernor Wilson's primary law to ask
people to vote for him for United
States senator?
Former United States Senator
Smith is accused of betraying his
party In the Senate. l cannot see any
difference between what Mr.. Smith
did, If he did it, and the act of the
governor accepting votes in the Balti-
more convention that were instructed
for another man. l say he has been
%ungrateful to those who helped him to
office. He is the hand-picked candi-
late of Mr.. Smith, who was the first
man to mention him for governor and
worked for his nomination"

MAINE ELECTION
CAUSES GLOOM
Democratic Headquarters Wis.,
IDLY Affected, but Leaders
See Spur in News.

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-There is a
distinct atmosphere of gloom at the
Democratic national headquarters to-
day due to the report of the Repub-
lican victory in Maine.
The more experienced among the
leaders. however, see in the Maine
news a spur that will drive the DEM
ocrats into action and put into their
campaign a little of the ~"ginger"
that has been lacking up to the pres
ent time.
1.-THE Democrats will be aroused
from their apathy of overconfidence."
is the way William G. McAdoo, who
is acting national chairman during
the illness of Chairman McCombs.
Governor Wilson dropped into 1ead-
quarters yesterday and had a long
conference with Mr.. McAdoo. 1t is
said that he intimated hat a little
more vigorous work would be an adj
mirable substitute for the complacent
confidence hat has marked the Dem
ocratic doings thus far in the cam
paign.
Mr.. McAdoo and George w. Greene,
national committeeman from Rhode
Island, predicted today that, despite
the result of the State election in
Maine, the electoral vote there will
be cast for Wilson. Mr.. Greene de-
clared that it will be only the third
party ticket that will make Demo-
cratic success in Maine certain.

THE MAJORITY NOMINATION.

lRoosEVELT tells the Democrats in the West that Speaker
I'm clark carried the Democratic primaries and was beaten
in the Democratic national convention and another can
ddate nominated in his place." It is true that if the majority
could nave prevailed at Baltimore Speaker Clark would have
peen the partys nominee by the votes of delegates, either
pledged or favorable to him. If the two-thiuds majority rule
mad prevailed at Chicago the Taft managers could not have
enominated Taft. The Democratic primaries were carried by
Clark by a majority, but the convention rule set aside the will
of the majority. Why the two national conventions should have
radically different rules as to nominations has puzzled many
men. The Republican rule of nomination by a mere majority
Is the democratic one. 1t is used in all other nominations,
II ls used in all elections, including that for President, and it is
used IN all nominating conventions, save only the Democratic
national convention, in which the two thirds rule has more than
once been employed to defeat the will of a majority by COM
polling a compromise nomination.

oa HE acquisition of the Wharton tract of 100000 acres in
South Jersey at the purchase price of a million dollars by
the State as a watershed for the future water supply
of all the municipalities from Trenton to Cape May is so emf
nently desirable that the Legislature should embrace the offer
forthwith. The act would put into practise for the first time
the principle of conservation that all parties are now agreed
upon and none has yet applied. There is always the suspicion
of the watersnake in every comprehensive plan for water sup.
ply, and the snake has been in evidence in the Mulica river
watershed. That is a danger to be guarded against. If the
Wharton tract should be purchased the State should build the
dams and take care of the tract. There should be no corporate
middleman and the contracts should be made between munich.
palty and State. The various municipalities can combine and
issue bonds to buy the tract and the State can maintain and
develop it. The State Water Supply Commission puts it up
to the municipalities as to what they will do. We shall see
how they will respond. S

A WHITE COLONY IN THE ARCTIC.

TT HERE is a fascination in the story brought from the frozen
Il recesses of the Arctic by a professor of the American
Museum of Natural History Of the discovery of 1000
descendants of a band of Norwegians who reached the North
American continent about 600 years before Columbus discovered
America. These people are unchanged, except by climate and
environment, from what their ancestors were a thousand years
ago, having the same racial characteristics and intellectual de-
velopment. They are of the same type as the men who de.
scended from the north of Europe upon France in the days of
Charlemagne and founded Normandy and became the most for
midable warriors of Europe in the middle ages. This little
remnant isolated in Arctic America knows nothing of the his
tory and changes of the world in a thousand years and has lost
all the traditions that belonged to previous ages in Scandinavia.
The story revves interest in the old controversy respecting the
discovery of America and seems to settle beyond a doubt the
prior claim of Lief Erickson.

IN MOTHER powerful voice is raised for the licensing and
IA regulation of gambling in New York, and this time it is
a Christian clergyman who speaks. The Rev. William
Morrison, as police chaplain, is in a position to know what he is
talking about when he says that "you never can prevent gam.
bling any more than you can prevent the sale of liquor" DR..
Morrison would have gambling houses run openly within pre-
scribed territory. Every man who entered such a house would
have to register his name and address. A business house or
bank would have no trouble in finding out if an employee was
among the patrons of a gambling house. When a man was seen
TO enter such a place it would be known what he went there
Tor. A great English jurist, speaking of another form of vice,
made a remark that has become famous to the effect that men
ala not enter 9 certain class of houses ito say their prayers"
IN Paris gambling and the social evil were long ago recognized
as things that must be recognized, localized, licensed and regu-
lated. Large American cities may in time have to come to the
same system.

THE NEXT MAINE SENATOR.

cTo HERE will now be a battle in the Maine Legislature over
the United States senatorship. In the nominations for
members of the Legislature the Republicans and the Pro
gressives supported the same candidates. How many of the
newly elected senator's and assemblymen are Republicans or
Progressives does not appear in the dispatches, but the COM
bined majority on joint ballot is small and it is evident that
neither the Republicans nor Progressives will control. The
State election ended the Republican, Progressive truce and the
parties are now aligned against each other for the presidential
election. The alignment will be as clearly drawn in the Legis-
Iature next winter. If Roosevelt shall carry the State prob
ably the Republicans in the Legislature will come over to the
Progressive side in the election of senator. If the State shall go
Democratic there will be a deadlock for some time. There is
little enough show for Taft in Maine.
