spect felt for Mr.. Taft Will not ina ex-
preston in votes at the polls.
We are one people. Of course. a. re-
spects the national welfare. An injury
to one section Is an injury to all. and q
benefit to one IL a benefit to all. But
tastes differ as respects campaigning for
votes. and both party managers and party
spellbinders must study those tastes. One
mans meat is another mans poison.
What may prove effective as a maneu-
yer or a speech in one section might
prove disastrous in another.
But, although different methods are
necessary. all sections In their several
ways require whooping up. We take our
politics seriously, If somewhat hilariously.
We love melodrama, and our quadrennial
play calls for villain who meditates
wrong, and hero whose business it is to
foil him. The stage thunder must be
deafening. The flashes of lightning must
be binding. And the text Of the drama
must be replete with proclamations
all bearing upon tho central theme of
saving the country.

National Campaigning.

Behold a new sign of the growth Of the
country.
Only a few years ago both OF the
great parties in presidential years ope-
rated from New York. Campaign man
ayers directed everything from the
metropolis. Money was raised there in
large sums Lieutenants at distance
were summoned there for consultation
and fresh orders. Spellbinders were as
signed from there. The whole field was
surveyed from there.
Then came the recognition Of the mid
die states and the west. near and far.
and branch headquarters were opened in
Chicago. The work was divided. Man
ayers in New York kept close track OF
the developments east Of the AlLegenies.
and managers in Chicago as close track
OF things west of the mountains.
This year still another division has
been made. and the far west is to have
attention Of its own. Republicans. demo-
Gratis and progressives VIII all have head
quarters west of the Rockies. TIE situa-
ton out there is quite as confused as in
other sections. and play is to be made
close up for votes. Men familiar with
the territory will be in charge, and
everything Will hum.
The south alone receives no attention.
She needs none. IL that section were
debatable, we should see Atlanta or New
Orleans made the seat of great political
activity But the south is democratic,
and will remain so without an effort

Probe the Charge!

Representative Johnson's assertion that
his life is menaced by some unnamed citi-
zen of Washington, presumably in COP
sequence of his activities as chairman of
the House District committee, must be
regarded seriously, however it may lack
in FEASIBILITY. The District Of Columbia
has had long range Of experiences with
Congress. has known many chairmen OF
committees, has suffered most grievously
through inattention and injustice. more
seriously even than of recent months. It
most assuredly has no reason to feel
toward Chairman Johnson as toward an
enemy. 1t recognizes his sincerity and his
earnest desire to do what he regards as
just and best for the District. 1t may not
relish the prospect presented by some Of
the legislation contemplated by him, but
1t feels confident that these matters can
be adjusted satisfactorily in the two
houses, and that everything will come out
right eventually.
To charge an intent to kill, as a means
to ward off certain projected legislation.
however, is to accuse the District Of muir
derous motive. and there should be an
early and thorough inquiry into this
matter, not by a committee Of Congress,
but by the grand jury of the District.
This is most serious suggestion that is
advanced by Mr.. Johnson, and he should
stand ready to disclose the name of his
informant. and to furnish all possible
means of tracing the murderous purpose
to the source-if there is such a purpose
in the mind of any Washingtonian. II
the charge is baseless. serious offense
has been wrongfully charged against the
District, and it is due to the good name
of this community to have the falsity of
the charge established. The filing of an
affidavit with Speaker Clark does not
cover the requirements of the case.

DETROIT'S ALDERMEN.

From the Buffalo Evening News

troit to Jackson, Mich, will have to be

A Campaign Sign.

An army of spellbnders is mastering
for the fray. The republican managers,
1t is said, are embarrassed by the large
offerings on their side. Every other
ready talker of that faith In the coun-
try wants to talk for Taft.
There is likewise a stir Of tongues on
the democratic side, and as many of
Mr. Roosevelt's followers are young men
new to campaigning, the lure of the stump
Is strong with them.
This means two things: d Campaign
funds of generous size. and CD old
fashioned appeals when the stumpers get
IN full sway.
Spellbinders love their work. but also
love to be paid for It, Few contribute
their gestures and vocabularies free. The
great majority want to see the color of
their partys money. The laborer with
his tongue is worthy OF his hire.
Prices vary, of course. The stirrer OF
the crossroads rates below the stirrer of
the county-seat, and the stirrer of the
county-seat below the stirrer of the me-
tropolis But even the lowest grade
spouter wants good pay. and usually gets
it, So that the full bill for spouting-
for flashing the dense people into action
for saving the country-is large.
Mr.. Taft's speech of acceptance was
not particularly aggressive, and Mr.. Will
sons lacked all Suggestions Of fury.
The first Judgment. therefore. was that
their champions on the stump would
guide by those deliverances. But as it
is difficult to teach old stumpers new
tricks, this eagerness OF the old guard
for action foretells that when they get
into action they will proceed in the old
way, holding the opposition accountable
for all that is bad. or that threatens. and
scoring him in all the terms of well-paid
vituperation.

| Let no friend OF Nicholas Longworth
| be disturbed. The representative of the
| first Ohio district will be returned to
| Congress. Mr.. Zwick, or Mr.. Trick, or
Mr. Anybodyelse, or all three together,
may fight, but will fight in vain.
Mr.. Longworth, 1t is true. Is slightly
| embarrassed this year. The bull moosers
criticise him because he is Taft man,

Boss Cox. Some republicans object to
him because Of his relations to Theodore
Roosevelt. They would visit the sins of

But, in the end. the republican voters.
and maybe some democratic voters. in
+, the Longworth district will plump for the
right man.
All the charges against Mr.. Longworth
are well founded. He is Taft man. He
did receive the indispensable support Of
Boss Cox in his first aspirations to serve
in Congress. And he is the son-in-law
of Mr.. Roosevelt.
To say that he is Taft man Is simply
to say that he is republican. Were he
supporting Mr.. Roosevelt. who is no
longer republican, he would have no
claim himself on republican support.
Congress Mr.. Cox was the republican
been elected over the boss opposition.
He was elected with the boss aid. But
the choice reflected credit on the boss
judgment. Mr. Longworth made good in
the House. and has been there ever since.
He is now leader on his side of the
chamber If he remains and his party
a. hi
two years hence, he may become a for
midable aspirant for floor leader. With
Mr. Mann in the chair. and Mr.. Long
worth at the head of ways and means,
the republicans would be exceedingly well
| led.
1t is suggested that psychologists are
at work in Cincinnati: that this bull
moose opposition, to Mr.. Longworth is
only a bluff: that the object is to i'm
press folks at a distance with notion
that progressive virtue is SO firm and
uncompromisng it demands victim
right at the Roosevelt door. SO to say.
Maybe this is SO. Remember the south
ern contests at Chicago. On their face
they looked square. A confiding public
was for time deceived. But the truth
| would out even in Rooseveltian howl
about fraud; and then it was discovered
that the fraud was all on the Roosevelt
side. But not, however. until republican
voters In Pennsylvania, Illinois and else
where had voted at primaries under the
delusion that Mr.. Roosevelt had swept
the south clean.
The progressives move in a mysterious
way their wonders to perform. Their
latest play is in Cincinnati. Let every
body watch it.
