Generally in cities where the commission form government has been adopted candidates nominated either by the regular parties by temporarily formed citizens independent organizations.

But the average voter pays attention party lines in municipal campaign The good citizen who has personal in terest in politics for the candidate he be- he has the strongest personal liking.

Gratifvinu to Prouressiues

The result of the election in Massachusetts on Tuesday must be gratifyine if entirIy satisfy ing, progrsisves throughout the country. While Charles Sumner Bird. the progressive candidate, defeated for governor Walsh the demo- cratic candidate, elected election demon strated the vitality growth of progressvism. The progressive party occupies the second place in Massachusetts, which not long ago was the stronghold all those things which progrcssivism raised oppose. But candidacy O Foss who attracted to himself many persons O progressive tendencies there is little progressive vote would have been greater.
 It was, perhaps believed by progressives generally that MT Bird would be able to overcome the soldified democratic strength The division of the opposition had given the democrats renewed hope and they entered campaign with spirit It was weeks ago agreed by thoughtful stu dents of the Massachusetts situation that the con lay between Bird and Walsh MT. Bird in his speeches seemed to regard himself less as the can didate of his party for governor than as the cham pton progressive principles, which the election shows have been pretty well established in the Bay state.
 The will be a simpler one The between progressvfsm and all that progressv- ism opposes will be cut. downfall of the republican party Massachusetts is foreshadowed The ties which have bound many excellent citi- to great and constructive party by defeat of Gardner Foss, and thou sands of citizens of progressive tendencies, but whose tendencies were weaker than traditional bonds, will undoubtedly enroll themselves with the party whose principles they have inwardIy en- dorsed.
 Altogether the result of the Massachusetts eIec- ton must be inspiring to progressive everywhere.

Ouerthrom of rannmanu

The overthrow of Tammany the election John Purroy Mitchell mayor of New York had been generally predicted during the past week. Specu- latve gentlemen were betting it, while they always and fact, seldom best polit- ical prognosdcators, there is never any doubt their earnestness and their honest endeavor certain the trend of political events.
 There a prevalent belief after the nomina- tion Judge Mccall by Tammany that be elected. Mayor Gaynor was nominated as an independent candidate the nomination of Mitchell by the fusionists. Any strength that Gay might command would of be anti Tammany- and if he of the way it would certainly go Mitchell It here seemed that Tam many would again profit by division of it's enemies
 Moreover, McAneney and Pendergast the fusion candidates presidents boroughs, bit terIy opposed by William the director of the Independence league Though Hearst also a bitter enemy of Tammany. he at first advised the nomination o a fourth ticket. The death Mayor Gaynor left no successor the independent ticket and his following naturally turned Mitchell. MT, Hearst, had acknowledged the fitness of Mitchell, decided to support him. but he kept up bitter fight against McAneney and Pendergast in favor of nde- pendent candidates.
 The political swirl which had been advan- tageous to Tammany the past now abated and the fight clear between decency and ndecency. The former always wins when no complicating issues It has in this
 defeat Mccall not the worst blow that fell upon Tammany Charles F. Murphy would gladly have sacrificed him for a majority on the board of estimates. defeat is. therefore, the worst that organization suffered It really saved nothing worth while from the wreck
 The victory New York is the more remark able on account the in which it was brought about The better elements of all parties united for the cleansing of the city. Mitchell who was chosen head the fight against Tammany, is good clean Wilson democrat. Pendergast is an earnest Drogressive Other candidates who will take part in the new government republicans, but not of machine.
 Before this, York has been redeemed" but it was found the redemption" had been eff fected by a machine less corrupt, but far less efficient than Tammany. This, therefore, is the first victory that has been really achieved in New York over corruption,

The purpose of the bill is to concentrate and mobilize and provide elastic currency and a failing market at low rate of interest for commercial paper of short fixed maturities drawn against actual commercial transactions.
 Again, the purpose of this bill is to withdraw the excessive and dangerous of the reserves of the nation from the speculative market, in stocks, bonds, agricultural and other products. Under the bill these above mentioned reserves would be de- voted to legitimate commerce and industry.
