New York Republicans Should Leae
in Recognizing the Party.

Republican State Convention will be held III
this city tomorrow for the purpose OF recommends
ing nominees for the vacancies about to occur III 'ne
Court Of Appeals. The state committee Is ehpo"-
cred by law to make these nominations, but II de-
cided to respect the instructions OF an "inlornai
convention 1t fortunate that 1t MADE TINS oe-
cision, since the assembling Of convention TINS
year gives New York a striking opportunity to take
tbe lead in movement of vital interest to the ma
tional party.
The pressing need OF the party at large is re-
organization which will sweep away an unfair ana
demoralzlng system Of representation In nauonai
conventions and put control f the machinery OF 'e
party once more In the hands of the Republican
voters Until that reorganization is accomplished II
will be idle to hope for return to the ranks Oh
hundreds of thousands of Republicans who left the
party last year because they thought that the
methods Of representation in the national conven
ton were Anticipated and that an undue amount OF
power was exercised by little circle Of managers
within the national committee.
The executive committee of the Republican Ma
tional Committee has voted to call meeting or the
national committee after the present extra session
OF Congress ends for the purpose Of considering the
question Of authorizing a special national conven-
ton 1t was expected when this action was taken
last May that the session would end in August ana
that by the middle of September plans for party
reorganization would be we'll under way. But the
extra session has dragged along and the reforms so
necessary to party rehabilitation have also been
allowed to drag Interest in them would be
strengthened If the Republicans OF the leading state
in the Union-the state, too, which gave the heav-
lest vote to the Republican electoral ticket last year
should reannounce its hearty approval Of the re-
organization scheme.
In the national convention Of 190S-the only one
which ever voted on plan to alter the basis OF
representaton-the New York delegation stood SOL
idly for wiping the rotten boroughs and making
an apportionment in accordance with the Republican
vote cast The Republican organization here Is fully
committed to the change, and it now has the best
possible opportunity to reafirm its position
New York's power in party councils is consider
able Why should 1t not use that power in good
cause to which it is already pledged? Why should
its leaders not take the lead in reconstructing the
party instead of trailing behind the representatives
of Western states like Iowa Washington and ldaho'

WHITE SLAVERY" AND VOTES
Is Woman Suffrage Necessary to
Enact Stringent Laws7
To the Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The suffragists claim that, given
the ballot. they could stamp out that ter
rIble evil known as the white slave" traf-
fc. As It is nourishng like green bay
tree In Denver, Col, where women have
had the ballot nineteen years, their argu-
ments are not very convincing. However.
as all men and women Of any sensibility
would be glad to see this evil mitlgated,
would the suffragsts be willing TO tell us
what they would do I'm New York State in
regard to this matter II they had the
vote?
Is there any law anywhere lin any
woman suffrage state. for example) which
is better than the law OF the State of
New York In this matter? Is there any
law upon our statute books that Is
wrong? II so. why not call the pubic's
attention to II at once and permit us ants
to join in the agitation for better law?
Surely II is not necessary for the suf-
fragists to wait for an amendment to our
state constitution giving the ballot TO
women before they point out the unjust
law. II is cruel to wait. Why not state
at once what is the matter with our laws
on this point? 1t will be at least two
years, you know, before these wretched
women could be reached by votes for
women"
Is there any administration of the law
which can be bettered? II so, I'm what
particular instance? Surely all the laws
that can be devised dealing with this mat
ter have been placed on the statutes.
Then 1t must be question OF protec-
ton OF girls from violation Of the law.
That brings us directly up to the ques-
ton OF evidence. The great difficulty then.
In checking this evil. is getting the evil
dence. Woman does not need the ballot

sent 1t.

4 Noteworthy Primary Campaign.

The primary campaign in New Jersey this year,
and %he primary election which ends It tomorrow,
will be the first in this part of the country wherein
under mandatory law, the Governorship candi-
dates and the state and county committees Of the
various parties have thus been chosen The various
aspirants are Of so high character that the sue
cessful candidates tomorrow practically to
be men worthy of the Governorship.
The campaign, moreover, has been conducted with
no offensive personalities save In single minor
instance and with a general appeal to reason on
issues of practical interest Thus, of the chief
Republican candidates. Senator Pierce, instead of
merely beating the party drum and spebinding
with gllttering generalities, put forward five spe
cifc theses relating to what commonly recog
nized as the five most vital reforms needed in the
state-equitable abolition of dangerous grade
ipgs equalization of tax assessments restoration OF
taxation upon banks and trust companies, the in
determinate franchise for public utilities and de-
tachment of the jury system from party politics.
and his campaigning confined to the publica
ton Of lucid and coherent arguments upon these
theses.
A campaign conducted in such fashion is very
far removed from the old "whoop 'er up" orgies of
vociferation and red fire. as also from the cut-and-
