THE ELECTION RESULTS.


the elections this week should be construed as hav-
ing any particular national significance" So far
they have that significance they indicate that the
communities that have expressed themselves at the
polls are disposed to stand by the National Admin
stration and hold up its hands pending further deve-
opment of its program. They cannot be construed
as hatterihg Endorsement of that program; indeed,
the only States whose pollings fairly to be ac-
cepted as giving line the national minds att-
tude toward national issues are Massachusetts and
New Jersey. But those two States have elected DEM
ocratc governors, and they have given sign that the
schism within the Republican party is by no means
healed
Democracy, if Tammany may be called Democ-
racy sustains crushing defeat in New York. Yet
ii is anything but defeat for the Administration. The
anti Tammany candidate for mayor drafted from
the coectorship of the port the most important Fed
eral Office in New York. He had been appointed to
that position by President Wilson, with the under
standing that he should be free to make the run for
mayor.
But the people of New York were not voting
for Wilson, or the Wilson tariff, or the Wilson cur
rency, the Wilson trust program, whatever it may
prove to be, when they voted for Mitchell They were
voting against Tammany and Murphy and Murphy
ism. The National Administration gains the chance
and it is a tremendous gain-to reorganze the En-
pire State Democracy into harmony with the high
ideals and purposes of the national regime. If it
can do that and through deft use of the opportunity
that this election brings in this regard it will strength
ELI its hand nationally.
New Jersey and Massachusetts, are Democratic
exactly as they were last year: by reason of the
division of their opposition. Their returns contain
lesson for the anti Democratic forces, decidedly
more significant than is any seeming Endorsement
of the Wilson Administration. The lesson is that If
these elements are to be effective, they must get
together; and in getting together they mustdo it on
the basis of placing the liberal men and liberal pro-
gram in control. There can be no uncertainty on
this point
The masses of what formerly constituted the Re-
publican party are ready to get together and make
themselves a force in the land. They afraid to
do it so long as the organization of the Republican
party continues in control of the forces that dominated
at the Chicago convention last year. Massachusetts,
and New Jersey bring testimony that there will be
and can be no amalgamation save on the basis of
eliminating tory leadership.
When the Republican national committee meets
in Washington next month it will do we'll to take this
admonition to heart There should be uncertainty
as to the course that ought to be taken. The Re-
publican party should give its masses of member
ship the chance to liberaze it, to get it into step
with the thought and interests of these times That
way only lies the chance of putting it back into
place of power and real usefulness.

MAJORITY OF NAMES PRESENTED TO DEFEAT THE WORKING
 NEWS LAW FORGERlES.
DENY KNOWLEDGE OF FRAUD
Aoents of Ohio Equity Society, Paid Gents a Name, Earn $2o Day. Prosecutions in Every County
 in the State Promised.

Cleveland, July 16.-A great series of public prosecutions, extending into nearly every county in Ohio, was or dered by Attorney General Hogan, to stop finally and effectively all further attempt at fraud in the use of the initiative and referendum.
 Present indications are that scores of petition circulators will go to the penitentiary for forgery, as a result of their efforts in the first statewide referendum attempted east of the Mis- sissippi. The referendum was sought by the Ohio Equity association, league officered by well-known Ohio capitalists, and having its headquar- ters in Cleveland. Its attack was di- rected at the Green law for compul- sory compensation of workmen in jured in industrial plants.
 Petitions were sent into every coun- ty of the state, and agents were hired by field managers of the Equity asso- citation. Recently the petitions duly filed with the requisite number of names, were filed with the secretary of state.
 Examination of the petitions devel- oped that at least three-fourths or more of the names on the petitions probably were forged. So far as the canvass by the state officers has been carried less than per cent of the sig naturpS hova prOvpd t0 he panuinp Names of dead men, women, persons removed from the state, were copied out of city directories and telephone books by petition circulators. accord ing to confessions made by some Of the agents and Jumped with forged

Kansas City, Mo-, July 16.-A blind man and his wife, sitting helpless in a broken-down motor car near Wa mego, Kan, aroused the sympathy of l.. A. Phillips and Guy Holmes.
 Holmes and Phillips are in the service of a local automobile com pany and travel about repairing cars. They spent two hours on the blind mans car and sent it away in good shape, the wife driving. In Wamego the Good Samaritans" explained their delay.
 Yes" said a resident, that cou- pie travels in a motor car. They are beggars de luxe. The man fiddles and the woman sings. They are working the towns of western Kansas. When they approach a town they hide the car in the woods until they clean up, and then speed away to the next town.

San Francisco, July 16.-Dr. Juichi Soyeda, former Japanese vice minis ter of finance, and his colleague, T. Kamiya, an official of the Tokia cham Der of Commerce, have sailed for Japan after tour of the United States.
 Dr. Soyeda said he found the senti- ment toward Japanese to be friendly in all parts of the United States with the exception of California
 The Japanese government will make an effort to obtain for the Japanese the privilege of becoming American citizens, he said.
 we do not think war is probable" said Kamiya If it comes it comes through the action of the United States. The Japanese have never fought and do not hope to fight through imperialistic motives, but only when their national honor is in- volved. But when it becomes a shame to be a Japanese we cannot tell what will happen"

BRYAN IS WORTH S500,000
SECRETARY WEALTHIEST MAN
 IN ENTIRE WILSON CABINET.
Besides Annual Salary of $12,ooo from Government, Has Income from
 Two Farms and Magazine.

Washington, July 15.-Stung by the criticisms which followed his recent declaration at Hendersonville, N. C., that he had to lecture to augment his $12,000 salary as secretary of state, William Jennings Bryan has promised that today he would make full state- ment of just what he meant that would cover everything"
 In this statement the secretary of state will deny that his assertion should In any way be construed as championing higher salaries for gov ernment officials. He will explain what he meant was that with his added expenses as secretary of state and the regular expenses of keeping up his home in Lincoln, his salary was insufficient.
 'I did not mean to find fault in any way with the present government sal aries," said the secretary. But after the cabinet meeting I will make statement in which I will make every thing clear"
 Men who have enjoyed MT. Bryan's confidence for many years estimate his wealth at about S500000. For years he has been advertised by lec- ture bureaus as the highest-paid speaker in the country. He has a large establishment, including a farm, at Lincoln, Neb. another farm in Texas, devoted principally to onion growing, and is building winter home for himself at Miami, Fla.
 MT. Bryans mode of living in Washington is quite modest.

many concerned"
The announcement was made in the
form Of a resolution unanimously adopted
by the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church. 1t
reads:
Resolved, That in view Of the various
questions which have been raised. and
some Of which may tend TO cause dis
sension in the Calvary Church. and in
view of the lack of enthusiasm on the
part Of considerable minority Of the
members Of the Fifth Avenue Church,
we feel that the danger of a lack Of
harmony in the new church is at pres
ent too probable to be ignord, and
that. though we appreciate the fraternal
spirit in which the Calvary committee has
sought to bring the two churches to-
scther. we feel that the contemplated
union is incxpediont"
II is generally understood between the
officers of the respective churches. as well
as the members. that there will never be
further negotiations FOR union between
the two churches According TO one OF
the members of the joint committee, the
decision not to unite would in no way
impair the kindly feeling between the
two churches and their congregations
though. he said. it had come "as mat
ter of much regret among some members
OF the churches that the consolidation
could not be effected.
