(Big Bend Outlook. Republican,
The most significant thing about the
national campaign in it's early stages
is the fact that hundreds of thousands
of Republicans who never before voted
the Democratic ticket, have voluntar-
lily written Governor Wilson and Gov
ernor Marshall that they intend to do
SO this year.

(facoma News-Herald, Republican,
No individual possessed of the rudi.
ments of common honesty may claim
to be a Republican who is using his
influence to defeat the Republican
ticket, much less who can convince
himself that he believes in the prin.
ciples advocated in the platform and
confession of faith put forth by the
roosevelt progressives. The former
idea is unfair and contemplate, while
1t is an insult to voters intelligence
to maintain that he is entitled to party
standing while at the same time Civ.
inig endorsement to a creed that ia
not only un-Republican but un-Amer-
lean as well.

Plunlmer Gets His.

Spokesman Review, Republican,
In Spokane w. H. Plummer has
identified himself with the progressive
cause. He has also announced himself
a candidate for lieutenant governor
camp.
Not only does Mr.. Plummer come
with record that is not progressive,
but, as the progressive leaders well
know, he had taken light view on
the progressive fight.
He has fiamboyantly GRATED that he
has been Democrat, Populist, Re-
publican, in fact, he says, he has been
member Of every political party and
SO must have been right once. Flip
pant talk of this kind will not do.
The progressive cause demands men
who enter it because they know it Is
right now and who are willing to fight
for the political freedom of the coun-
try.
Rudderless barks upon the political
seas, tossed about by every contrary
wind, are not advisable flag ships.
Lister Able, Clean and Emcient.
(Tacoma News, Republican,
This newspaper never has had much
patience with Democratic doctrines,
and this seasons theories are quite
as miasmic as those of any other sea-
son. But now and then a man whose
environments and habits of thought
have led into that party seeks Office at
its hands, perhaps to attempt to lead
it out of the darkness that is its "a
vorite habitat. Such a one Is Ernest
Lister, who announced yesterday that
he is candidate for governor. Mr..
Lister is a gentleman in the best
meaning of that term. He is able and
cleanly and has been tried as a public
officer with satisfaction. 1t is one of
the sad curiosities of providential dis
position that so good a man should be
handicapped by his political predilec-
tions.

The Lady and Her Gun

Let all those ignorant male bipcds who cling to the obsolete belief that they have some rights which the fair cr-we cannot in the present instance truthfully say the weaker-seX is bound to respect, take warning from what has just befallen one Harry Triton. q school teacher in the Penn sylvania hamlet of Burgettsville
 MT. Triton attended d performance given by a mind reader in the "opry house" the other night. and as ill luck would have it found himself seated behind an enormous picture hat. The wearer of the titanic Hid" was Miss Margaret Gribben. Mir. Hilton. after stretching his neck out of joint in vain effort to peek around. over and under Miss Gribben's towering head piece. foolishly sent a note to the stage, asked the mind reader to re- quest the lady in front to remove her hat" The note was read out loud to the audience and then the ructions began.
 Miss Gribben pulled a revolver and calmly ordered the unfortunate Triton to hump himself to the outside, em- phasizing her request by flourishing her gun at her victim divers and sun dry ways Deeming discretion the better part of valor, MT. Tilton "humped," with the enraged lady act ing as rear guard. To the police sta ton went lady and her spells of war There she refused to make any charge probably deeming that the miserable Triton had been punished enough in thus being held up to public contumely

Padding the Padder

There is one youth in Indiana who will be able to tell his children that there is absolutely no way of lodging the penalty for Wrongdoing. and also will be able to cite his own personal experience as proof that the way of the transgressor is hard
 Carl Gibson had been a bad boy at school. and the teacher. Miss Lydia Thornhill. having at the moment more wcighty things to occupy her physical activities. promised to attend to his case the next day. Carl, with the cunning that seems 10 be inherent in the small boy of every cline and age, prepared himself for the inevitable by donning two pairs of trousers when he went to school again If he hoped by this strategcm to win some surcease from pain, he was bitterly disappoint- ed. for Miss Thornhill whalcd him the harder when she discovered the facts.
 When Gibson pore learned what had been done to his young hopeful he had Miss ThornhnI arrested on charge of fcIonious assault, but jury of chuckling farmers declared her not guilty and privately hoped she'd do it again.
 It will seem to most people that the proper legal procedure in this case would have been the arrest of young Gibson on q charge of obtaining a licking on false pretenses and two pairs of pants, against all precedents in such cases made and provided.

The CounciImanic Election

The Democrat attempts to create political capital for its party by say ing that the way to insure the com mission form of government for Phoenix is to elect the democratic candidates for council All of which is a fine argument-if one is not particular about his choice of lan- suage
 It may be that the democratic can didates for councilmen are favorable to the commission form of govern ment The Republican has no infor- nation on that point but is willing to concede the fact. But the Democrat forgot to state that both the repub- lican candidates are also in favor of the proposition-that they had gone on record in favor of it long before the democratic candidates were nom mated. So, it would seem. since everybody is in favor of the change the attempt to make an issue of it is worse than useless. It would be rank nonsense to start a fight about something regarding which there is no disagreement.
 And after all. what has partisan politics got to do with this campaign? Is man going to serve the people better as a city councilman because h.. 1, than republican?
 Also, this is not campaign in which there is any chance for per sonal recrimination. All the candi dates are honest and reliable men. SC far as this paper has any knowledge It is simply business proposition that dictates the selection of the -mer who happen to be the republican can didates. They have already served the city and have served it capably and conscientiously. They have don, the things they were elected to do and so far as known. there never ha' been d complaint about the manner in which their work has been per formed. In other words. there is no the slightest reason why the people should reverse their former judgmen and turn down the men who hay, carried out their will and who hay gained an experience that will be in valuable in the discharge of the i'm portant duties that will devolve upol the council within the next two years

LIFT BAN ON OLDFlELD.

NEW YORK. April 30-Barncy Oldfield the daredevil automobile rac- CT. was today restored to the good graces of the American Automobile association and after today will again be permitted by the contest board 10 take part of sanctioned racing meets. The veteran driver was disqualified and made an outlaw" two years ago for refusing to draw the color line. He was challenged to q race by Jack Johnson the heavyweight champion of the world, and accepted against the advice of the national conteVt board Although he easily defeated the pugilist chauffeur, he was dis qualified and has since been ineligible to participate in any meet hold un- der the auspices of the national or ganiZation.
 The disqualification against O'G- field and his partner in "crime', Ben jamn Kerschcr, his mechanician, was to stand until January next, but the committee decided to lift the ban at midnight tonight. Oldfield's manager William IT. Pickens, will have tC serve q longer term" since he will not be in good standing until July 1. 1917. more than five years hence Pickens acted as press agent as well as manager for Oldfield, and while he was on the job the great driver got more publicity than any other nun in the game.

Bryan keens on Smiling.

Somehow or other there is growing a belief that Bryan. in spite of his reiteration that he is not q candidate is standing ready to answer the call of a disconcerted convention in Bal timore. The democratic delegates are being divided among many aspirants. and some of them will have to make compromises.
 The Nebraska censor of the demo- cratic party does not want to take fourth chance-and he has said so but of course he is a patriot and could be prevailed upon to serve his party. He has said that he was not in the field and said it in various ways. but il is not recalled that he has ever been recorded as declaring that under no circumstan- ces win I be q candidate for or ac- cept another nomination" He has left himself an opening. He keeps on smiling in his Well-knoWn bland and stereoptyped way.

Born and Died in Same Ward.

James Schoolcraft Sherman. vice
president of the United States, was
born October 26, 1885, in the same
ward of. Utica in which he died.
When he was two years old his
father moved, with his family, to a
farm two miles south of the village of
New Hartford, and here they lived un-
til 1868. In the fall of 1868 Sher-
mans parents purchased house in
the village of New Hartford, where
they continued to live until the death
of Sherman's mother, in 1896, his faith
er having died the year previous.
Sherman lived with his parents un-
til, 1881, when he was married at East
Orange, N. J.,-to Carrie Babcock, TAX
ing up his residence in the Seventh
ward of the city Of Utica.
While he lived on his fathers farm
he attended the district school, half
mile from home, and when old
enough to do SO, he assisted in such
work on the farm as boy of his
years would be capable of doing. Aft
er removing to the village of New
Hartford he attended the public school
Of that town, and later attended the
