There is no law requiring DIR. WILSON
10 resign the Office of Governor of New
jersey now that he has become the
Democratic candidate for President
He II in doubt. with a disposition TO hold
on. There are precedcnts both WAYS
Tho Governorship is a bird in the hand
No candidate for President is as sure
that he will be elected "a his enthusiastic
friends are. This campaign is very
young vet. it is no foregone conclusion
that Candidate WILSON will carry New
York. and without it's electoral vote he
cannot be elected President.
The term of the Governor OF New
Jersey is three years; DR.. WILSON has
not yet served two. If he resigned the
0overnorship he would not have TO
return to Trenton between speaking
tours. During the late primary cam
pai9n there was some criticism of DR..
WILSON because he left the Republican
President Of the Senate SO frequently
to discharge the functions of Governor
But the absences are condoned now. for
the elected Governor secured his party's
nomination for President.
The question for Or. WILSON to de-
termine is whether he can reconcile
periodical absences from Trenton dur
ing the campaign with n realization of
the duty he owes the people Of New
Jersey who called him to the RESPONSE
bilities Of the GovernOrship.
II is true that GROVER CLEVELAND did
not resign the Govcrnorship Of New
York when he was nominated for Pr,--i-
dent in 1854. bu' Mr. CLEVELAND was
no orator and had some old fashioned
notions of propriety. He worked away
at his desk in Albany most of the time,
setting a precedent that is worth the
consideration of Governor WILSON.

Woodchucks are usually found sitting

in the rocks or near the fields. and when

Worthy OF at least passing considera-
tlon is the calm decision of the Hon
A. b. CUMMINs that il is easier for q
Progressive to quit Colonel RoosEvRIT I
than the Republican party and that the
future Of tho faction he follows lies
within that party which the greatest of
all Progressves, so s-lf-cOnf-sscd has
just abandoned
The Bull Moose party in the Very Ia :
ture of things can newer have b,, one
candidate. The bandanna can serve a.
the orifiamme of only one HENRY OF
Navarro. and the Hon A. B. CUMMINs
not only has been but remains candi-
date for the highest nominal ion in the
gift Of the Republican party.
The decision of Senator CUMMINs
merely foreshadows that of no incon-
siderable number of little Governors
and large Progressives. Their horror
al the outrage Of the Chicago convcn-
tion il only exceeded by their approva
OF it's ultimate consequences. II they
did not hate their reactionary foes with
a hatred which can know no public
abatement, their intuitive sense OF
gratitude would Danish restraint.
Like the late Judge HoAR. who de-
clined TO attend BENJAMIN +. BvTLER s

CuhMINs will not be among the Bull
Moosers. but his heart is with them

Nikola Tesla believes he has Dis

article Tesla accounts for this condition
on the theory that as moisture in the
air is dissipated by the suns rays, and
az particles Of water In evaporating

the earth is thus deprived Of some If

causes a dissipation Of energy which
nccessar rily interferes with the trans.
mission Of the electrical signals and
prevents them from being observed at
so great a distance al in the night

Tesla has long maintained that the
earth plays as important part In wire

contended as the results OF demonstra-
tions, he says. that the results accom-
plished are not due merely To Hert2'an
waves. whose existence was discovered
by Heinrich Hertz. the German physi.
