What Is Causing the Change?

According to the Philadelphia Press,
the Republicans are returning TO their
party as a matter of course. They
see, it says, the i'll effects OF division
in giving a temporary triumph to the
Democratic party" There is no doubt
that the Republicans have awakened to
the fact, long ago apparent, that il
they allow the conditions OF last fall
TO continue, they will insure the Dem
ocrats an indefinite lease OF power.
This realization is one OF the causes
OF the change in the political situation.
Another is the radical character OF the
tariff bill. its schedules being so low
that manufacturers will have difficulty
in operating under them. even after
greatly reducing wage. Business con-
ditions throughout the country are not
altogether satisfactory. There is stag
nation and uncertainty. Capital for
investment is not easy to secure. The
people who last year asserted that this
country was too big and prosperous
to be adversely affected by any kind
OF an administration have now discOv-
cred that prosperity is not a perma-
ncnt attachment 1t is sensitive. not
stable. 1t is flower which expands
slowly. even under the most favorable
conditions, and then may shrivcl in
night.
And the people. seeing prosperity
dropping, are shying away from the
cause Of the blight. The Democratic
leaders in the House have taken warn
ing. They are doing their best to save
something out OF the wreck by assert
ing tina; the radical cuts in the tariff
and the numerous additions to the free
list made by the Senate will seriously
diminish the revenues and put the ad-
ministration in a hole. The fact is
that any reason which can be given as
an excuse for raising some of the
duties will be seized upon. There are
any number of Democrats who are
hoping and praying that the bill will
not become a law in its present shape.
They have heard from their constit-
uents at home. The probability is,
however, that President Wilson will
insist upon the lowest duties, and the
Democratic majority in Congress. with
inward misgivings, will obey his will.
And why not? # low tariff is a
good thing, why is, not lower tariff
better thing and the lowest tariff the
best of all?

In the Presidents Own State.

The first two verdicts of real signif-
canoe upon the new tariff law will be
rendered when New Jersey and Mas
sachusetts hold their elections in No
vember.
The campaign in New Jersey will
have national interest. New Jersey
is the Presidents own State, and he
will have much to say as to the selec-
ton of candidate for Governor and
other State officers, the declarations of
the platform and the management of
the struggle. In the Presidential cleo
ton last fall, Wilson received $4,000
votes, Roosevelt $4,000, and Taft only
5000. When Wilson was elected
Governor, two years previously, he had
a majority of nearly 10000. These
figures would indicate that he might
look forward TO the result next No
vember without a single doubt. The

In Illinois and Maryland.

Now see what happened last week
in Illinois. Primaries were held in the
Fifth Judicial district to nominate can
didates for the position of Supreme
Court Judge. In Peoria, where last
year Roosevelt received sos votes,
the Progressive candidate for Judge
was remembered by exactly sixty-three
voters. In Peoria County the Pro-
gTessiye vote was less than I per cent
of the normal vote. Last year Roose-
welt poiled 5000 votes in the county.
All through the district the vote of the
Progressives was pitifully small. The
vote for the Republican candidate was
-correspondingly greater. showing that
tic wanderers were returning to the
camp.
And in Maryland, where a State
convention was held last week to rat

4 Gardner Argument.
From the Boston Transcript.


What Maine Republicans have accom-.
plished in this special Congressional eIec-
ton Massachusetts, Republicans can du-
plicate in the coming State campaign il
they will take to heart the message from
Maine and line themselves up under lib
eral leadership and go before the people
with a liberal platform. Their Oppor-
tunity to do that will come al the pri-
maries on September % AS Maine Re
publicans selected a man of liberal record
in State affairs to lead them in their Con
Gressional fight. so the Republicans of
this Commonwealth have an opportunity
to select man of liberaf record in Con-
gresS to lead them in their fight for
Governor. Congressman Peters Of Maine
and CONGRESSMAN Gardner of MassaChu-
setts belong to the same school of Re
publiCanism. Both are advocates of
nOnpartisan tariff commission. both be
lieve in the protective principle honestly
applied, both recognize the duty of the
State to turn its attention to problems OF
social welfare whose solution can at
least be assisted by sound legislation;
both favor the liberalizing of party ad-
ministratiOn.
II the nomination Of Congressman
Gardner were ever in doubt. the result iE
Maine should make it certain. At the
risk Of his own success, Mr.. Gardner has
spent a week campaigning for Congress
man Peters. and in a large sense for the
whole Republican party. which had much
at stake in that election II is hardly to
be believed that the Republicans OF Mas
SaChusetts will forfeit a fair opportunity
of success in the November election by
failing to nominate the liberal candidate
for Governor on September .. With
Gardner at the head of the ticket the
Republicans can look for the return Of
many men who left the party last year
for the purpose Of registering their pro-
test against conditions then prevailing.
The nomination of Gardner will spell the
reorganization. the revitalizing and the
reunitinS of the Republicans in Massa-
chusetts.
