While Huerta remained ia power the admins

DAYS after he was nominated. 1t would
simply be a battle between Glynn and
Roosevelt. and The Tribune would then
have 10 pick its own candidate 10 sup
port.
Whitman, as District Attorney, in
dieting Democrats and convicting graft
ing policemen, is one thing; running
for Governor, out in the open. is quite
another Mr. Whitman has never done
or said anything that indicates he has
the slightest notion of what New York
State needs at the present time. How,
then, is ne going TO make a successful
campaign?
We know what happened to Chanler
when he attempted to get into Office on
airy political persihage. The voters
laughed him off the stump. The cleo
tric chair is not the emblem TO lead a
great party TO victory. Look over the
history Of New York and find, if you
can. single instance where the people
ever conferred any great political!
honor upon district attorney.
Mr.. Whitman's chances have gone
a-giimmering, and it is good thing
for the party. because his nomination
would mean certain and sure defeat.
The Tribune should live up 10 the
traditions that have nallowed its great
name The one great mind that stands
out in the Republican and Progressive
parties is Roosevelt He typiiies in his
own personality opposition to every
thing the Democrats stand for. You
don't have TO explain that he is against
Murphy or against Barnes. He has
been a boss fighter all his life.
As the candidate of the Progressives
he is going to win anyway, so why
wouldn't it be good thing for the
Republicans to make a virtue OF neces-
sity and nominate the man who con-
ferred more distinction upon the Re-
publican party than any man since
Lincoln?
What the Republican party needs
just now is little common sense. Why
go around with Mr.. Barnes hunting for
a losing candidate, when you know.
deep down in your heart. that T. R., if
nominated by the Republicans and the
ultra Republicans, described as Pro-
gressves. would carry the state against
anybody by over 100000?

NOTHING TO SHY FROM
Outside Of Saloon One Mans Idea Of
the Utterly Harmless.
or OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: We read in this morning 3
Tribune that when A. T. S. first saw a
saloon he was so ashamed that he
crossed the street 70 avoid il.
Is this not striking example OF the
vicious results Of sectional prohibit
ton? Here is an American so immacu-
lately pure, so appallingly narrow in
his bringing up that he blushed with
shame on seeing but the innocent ex-
terror of saloon. | hope that such an
attitude is not characteristic of the
citizens of Maine, for such an attitude
is not in harmony with the freedom
and liberty loving spirit OF our fathers.
Now, if this gentleman never saw a
saloon until he was twenty, and il the
prohibition law of Maine is not fail
ure, he must never have come in con-
tact with the degrading and pitiful eff
fects of drunkenness. He obtained all
his prejudices against liquor from
hearsay, and this probably from the
lips of prohibitionists. He never OBJ
tanned. in all probability, an unbiased
view Of the matter. Therefore. at the
age of twenty he was a prohibitionist.
He would have been willing to vote for
a measure which would put thousands
upon thousands OF GOd-fearlng, law
abiding people out of business. He
would have been willing TO rob them Of
their only means OF livelihood. More
than likely he was not the only young
man who obtained his ideas on the
liquor traffic in that way. He was SIM
ply IA victim of circumstances. But
such circumstances are vicious. for
they do not safeguard the freedom
granted US in the Constitution.
II is common conceit Of prohibit
tionists to consider the liquor dealer a
criminal. He is worse than the thief
and the murderer, for in nine cases
out of ten, in their opinion, he is the
cause of theft and murder. They for
get that as yet prohibition is the ex-
ception and not the rule in the United
States, and in their bitter TRADES
against liquor they do not respect the
opinions of the opposition. They are
fanatics, and fanatics are not always
just.
And as for man who is ashamed
to pass saloon! Were il not no
frighteningly indicative it would be
supremacy ridiculous.

Public Use of Park Property.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Judging from your editorial on
the Whitman episode, your
readers are TO infer that nothing
should be done that would imperil Mr..
Whitman's chances OF being nominated
by the Republicans.

early in the game. what do you think
is going TO happen to him in n slashing
fight. with an active campaigner like
Glynn on one side and the indomitable,
hard hitting Roosevelt on the other?
