The Washington herald., 1913-12-07

The Hobson campaign for Senator con.
tinues in Alabama with the Merrimae
hero all else but discouraged as the fight
goes on with some novel and possibly
depressing features.
One esteemed journal has found a new
way to be absolutely fair and impartial
/ in its treatment of the Hobson Senatorial
diversion. II sends two reporters with
him on all his speaking tours-one friend
ly, the other opposed. They each write
| their Impressions of each meeting the
speech and reception accorded the hero.
and then the two reports are printed side
by side
As might be expected, the Hobson re-
porter gives his candidate a splendid
send-off each day, and the opposition
reaches around for words to express his
disgust with the whole performance. The
| Hobson reporter tells how s6S people
crowded into hall to hear the Hobson
| speech and were political propositions
meaning much for the Democratic party
OF the State in the future and the stimu-
lation was greater because OF the Repub-
lican State committee meeting in New
York today. Gov. Glynn announced when
he took hold that he would not be a can
di6ate for governor next year, but he
is wonderfully interested in all the plans
discussed by home Democrats during his
stay in Washington for the retention of
his party in power at Albany. The gov
ernor is the owner OF a Democrat news
paper in the Capital City and he wants
Democrats doing things aided each day
by the advice of the Glynn esteemed
family journal.
Like Gov. Cox OF Ohio, the New York
governor has never let go OF his news
paper property or the love for editorial
functions. and he remarked while here
that he was proud to continue an editor
no matter what happens in politics Only
a dozen years ago Glynn and the Hon.
Jefferson Levy came to the same Con-
gress from New York districts. and the
first caller on the governor after arrival
Wednesday night was the Hon. Jefferson,
again a member OF Congress and not
afraid TO announce a year ahead a
Willingness to be the nominee for Sem
ator As Glynn may take a fling in the
Senatorial game himself, he and Levy
were careful not to mention the Sem
atorship. but confined their remarks to
pending legislative propositions at Al
bany. 1t is not overlooked by the rather
nervous Democrats in Congress from
New York and the political leaders who
came to town this week that Gov. Glynn
is promised much to test his wisdom,
judgment, and temper after January /.
when a legislature containing the de-
posed Sulzer begins business at Albany
While no Democratic leader, least of
all the resolute young governor, has any
fear Of Sulzer there is dread of the in
evitable annoyance and irritation he
may give to the legislative assembly
and seek to give the executive depart
ment of the State.
The SulZer specter was given some ad-
vance discussion during the governors
stay in Washington, but not enough
to lessen the cheer OF things around
the Glynn apartments on the + street
side of the Willard
New members OF the House are
promised from a few of the Kentucky
districts and campaigns have already be
gun. As Stanley has staked all on the
Senatorial prize, new man will be
named in his district and Judge David
kincheloe promises rather unusual
name for the House roll call. He has
some opposition but seems in favor with |
the controlling organization.
Thomas of Central City, has had but |
three terms and wonders why 50 many |
