4 STRIKING ISSUE - MiSSACHU-
SETvTS.

Has a candidate To- ,.. ToVernorShlp
a right to have charmau Z his party's
State committee for tn Engagement of
his campaign who is III sympathy with
his candidacy? That is the issue which
Congressman Gardner of Massachusetts,
the republican candidate for governor,
is forcing at the present time and which
he apparently means to settle regardless
of the effect which the outcome may
have upon his success at the polls next
November.
During tho progress of the preliminary
campaign for the nomination between
Congressman Gardner and Colonel Ben
ton the former took occasion more than
once to notify Chairman Hatfield of the
State republican committee that the or
gan'zations business was to help elect
the candidate when chosen and not to
take sides as between aspirants for the
party nomination. Apparently his re-
peated warning was not needed and Con-
gresham Gardner now acts on the sup
position that Chairman Hatfield is not
the proper person to conduct his cam
paign for election at tire hands OF the
voters.
Accordingly, Congressman Gardner has
issued an ultimatum to the State com
mittee as well as to Chairman Hatfield,
taking the position that the latter must
resign his position. The State commit
tee on its part has adopted resolution
by a nearly unanimous vote standing by
the chairman, and defying the republican
ton that a majority of the forty com
mittee men are Benton sympathizers
and it is assumed they as a rule are
"standpatters'
Gardner as a republican insurgent IL
lhus following the line of action which
has always attracted him, and as an in
surgent pursuing his own individual
bent he naturally believes he has RICH,
to name chairman of the State com
mittee who I'm have charge of his cam
paign This is according to precedent II
national campaigns.
ON the other hand, the candidate who
hopes to profit from the use of the party
name owes something to his party, and
he is expected to consider whether 1t Il

Senator Dillingham; In an interview en-
dorses the action of the New York state
republican convention in favoring a re-
duction of the representation of the
southern States in national conventions.
He called attention to the fact that he
was one of those who voted for this
change il he national republican con-
vention j 1905, and he b wed then as
now that the States where republican
ism largely abounds should be more
largely represented than those In which
1t is in hopeless minority. He has intro
duced an immisration bin similar to that
vetoed by President Taft and he is
pleased with the nomination of Con-
gresham Gardner of Massachusetts for
governor.
