So far as tehy have gone the Con-

ting their best foot forward this year,
and example that should be followed
If all the states. Their nomination for
governor has aroused considerable en-
thusiasm throughout the state and
now former Congressman e. J. Hill
of Norwalk has been nominated in
the Fourth District 1t was little short
of. a reproaeh CO. the state that he
should have been defeated two years
ago, especially when he is measured
against the man who was successful.
Mr.. Hill has made much more than
a local reputation. For is years he
had represented his district aud came
pretty near the point of leadership
on the ways and means committee,
and in the fields where he specialized,
tariff and finance, he was a recogniz-
ed authority. He has been one of the
men in Congress to associate whose
name with craftsmanship was more
than q mere courtesy. He was one of
TIE victims of the Progressive wedge
two years ago but we can hardly be-
lieve that the voters of the district,
contemplating what they have receiv
ed in exchange, will be disposed TO
repeat their mistake.

Editorial Comment.
Blackjack Leadership
(Brooklyn Standard Union)


The gain over the Wilson vote is
Is per cent. What seems to be dem
onstrated by the Maine election is
that while the sole function of the
Bull Moose party under the black
jack leadership of Roosevelt is to de-
feat the Republican party, its capa-
city 10 accomplish its purpose is daily
becoming less and less In other words,
its rank and file are awakening to
the fact that despite all his claims to
political virtue and reform the Third
Termer is moved principally, If not
solely, by personal ambition. They
see now he is ready to make a deal
with any party or any faction to for
ward his own political interests. He
would take up with the most rabid
Republican if the latter would agree
to help forward the cause of Roose-
VelIsm. With a propoftionate falling
off of the Bull Moose vote-and the
steady tendency SO far has been to
diminish with the passage of time
in other States the Maine election
makes the fact clear the Bull Moose
vote in this State is a negligible
quantity.
