A peculiar feature OF the New York
state election is the choice of the depos-
ed governor Sulzer to the assembly, as
candidate of party with which he has
never had any sfiliatiOn. At a distance
II seems fair to regard this, not as an en-
dorsement of the discredited Sulzer, but
as an sn,i-Tsmmany protest and rebuke.
Though the governor did not come out
OF the impeachment mess with clean
hands-far from it-yet IL is recognized
that the impeachment proceedings were
backed and pushed relentlessly by the
Tsmmsny organization, as punishment
TO Sulzer, and doubtless that is the e1-
PLANTATION of the deposed governor 3
election to the assembly. From any
other viewpoint 1t must certainly be re-
garded as an unfortunate incident in our
political history.

1t puzzles the lubberly landlubber a
little why the challenger for the Amer
ica's cup should be obliged to bring his
yacht across the Atlantic by her own
sails, instead OF having her towed, be-
fore he can start in the races. Just how
much of handicap this is, if any, the
aforesaid lubberly landlubber doesn't
know; but 1t Is something that isn't re-
auired Of the defender. The yachts are
nothing but racing machines, anyway,
worthless for anything else; but IL one
of them has to sail across the Atlantic,
why not the other? The America, to be
sure, crossed the ocean, but that Is by no
means a parallel case. II would seem to
be good sportsmanship to put both chal-
lenger and defender on an even basis.

TON SETTING THE DATE AS
SEPTEMBER "a.

The Extra Session Of the General AS
sembIy Will Consider the Rate
Problem as Well As Proposed Con-
stitutional Amendments.

Raleigh-A proclamation was issued
by Governor Craig for the general as
sembly to convene in extraordinary
session September "a, the session
having a constitutional limitation
of 20 days. The proclamation de-
clares the special session to be for
the following specific purposes:
First, to provide for the people
of North Carolina just transportation
rates and adjust the relations and
obligations between the state of
North Carolina and the railroads op-
Grating within the territory of the
state"
Second, to receive the report of
the constitutional commission and to
consider the submission to the people
of amendments to the constitution"
Speaking of the call for the legisla-
ture, Governor Craig said:
The last legislature passed reso-
luton proving for an extra session of
the general assembly in order that
amendments to the constitution might
be submitted to the people. The gen.
eral assembly created a commission
to prepare-such amendments and re-
port them tos the governor. This
commission has completed it's work.
An extra session of the legislature is
therefore necessary.
''The negotiations between the rep
resentatives of the railroads and cor
poration commission have not, in any
opinion, resulted in any understanding
sufficiently definite to delay the call
for the extra session. These negotia-
tons will not be interfered with by
this call, and before the meeting of
the general assembly September "a
there is ample time in which to ar
rive at an agreement. earnestly
hope that there will be an amicable
adjustment of our differences with the
railroads.
81 cannot do otherwise than sub
NIT these questions so vitality affecting
the people of North Carolina to their
chosen representatives"
