CunnminS Is WrOnq


1t has ever been the popular diversion of politL
clans to attack the railroads in and out of season.
When the flannel mouthed orator exhausts all
other subjects, he reverts automatically to the rail-
roads. zig"
Senator Cummins is no exception to the rule. His
address in the Senate yesterday belongs to that type
of business attack that is s%tultifying conditions in
the east and preventing the natural expansion Of the
railroads.
The Tribune holds no brief for the carriers, but it
agrees with a host of sound business men-not poll
ticians, that the eastern railroads are entitled to a
five per cent horizontal increase in rates.
ii Net revenues of the railroads have been falling
of to an alarming degree. Thousands of men have
been discharged. Construction in many instances
has been halted.
If we starve the railroads We starve ourselves.
: That is an economic truth our friends the politi.
clans should take home.
But Cummins is about to enter a Senatorial cam
paign and this speech has all the ear marks of a
'vote puller."'

Tie NeW Jexseu Election

1t is interesting to note the various comments
upon the recent Congressional election in the Sev-
enth New Jersey district, in which Mr.. O'Byrne, the
administration candidate, was defeated by Dow II.
Drukker, Republican,, by a plurality of moro than
5000. >u5
The Washington Post regards the results as being
very significant; mo one" says the Post, "is SO blind
as to be unable to read the handwriting on the wall.
The people without regard to section or party, arc
against the plan to surrender the Panama canal to
foreign control.
They are ready to administer an overwhelming re.
buke to the supporters Of this plan. 1t makes no
difference whether they are in the Presidents own
state, or in New England, or in the South. They
are all Americans
The Brooklyn Daily Eagle thinks that 1T is hardly
surprising that this outcome has created a political
sensation, more particularly at Washington. For 1t
cannot be denied that the administration had adopt

ed the Democratic %aspirant, James }. OEyrnc. From
the President himself he received q letter OF warm
Endorsement asking the voters to show their judg.
ment with regard 10 the present administration"
The Evening Post says: F." A Republican was elect.
ed and that by a large plurality, SO that the admins.
tration, on its own showing stands rebuked." But
the New York World does not concur in this view.
II expresses itself thus: These things mean what
ever they happen to mean. President Wilson's on.
ponent will he quick TO interpret The result in the
Seventh New Jersey district as a personal defea..
But one strongly Republican New Jersey Congress
sonal district is not the United States of America,
even in an off.year election.%%$a
This is the way the Evening On. " Sun views
the situation: Rarely in recent years has a Presi-
dent OF the United States suffered a more complete,
more decisive, and, in its proportions at least. more
unexpected defeat than that which came TO Wood
row Wilson in New jersey
The New York Evening Mail states that there is
but one Significance to the verdict after a campaign
wased on such lincs-the voters Of that industrial
center have r%epudiated the Wilson administration.
They want none of its tariff law or Of its proposed
repeal of the Panama tolls exemption law"
"The election" says the Globe, "is full Of warning
to the administration to be careful about any future
action that will aggravate hard times. and to neglect
no action calculated to restore the confidence indis.
pensablc to prosperity"
The Baltimore American %resikncdly admits tina,
the voters in no uncertain way put the seal of their
disapproval on President Wilson'S fight against free
canal tolls for American ships in the coastwise trade.
" The majority of the people of the country over
will applaud and agree with them
The Washington Herald concurs in the sentiment
of others when it says: From every standpoint this
election was a blow to President Wilson's admins
tration." Continuing, the Herald observes: They
were anxious for him to win for many reasons and
were hopeful that at least the vote would be close,
that is. that the result would not be worse than a
return of the district to its normal Republican status.
But the loss of votes to both Socialism and Re
publican candidates plainly justifes %foreboding as TO
November"

MI. Wilson and a Second Term

Mr.. Clark believes, as does every perienced poll.
tician, that if this administration is a success Mr..
Wilson will be reelected President.
Why not? The one-term expression in the Balti.
more platform? Read it again. That does not bar
Mr.. Wilson. He will be at full liberty to accept. and
even seek, denomination if all goes well with him and
his party between now and nomination day. He is
not pledged on that as in the case of free tolls.
Mr.. Wilson himself recognized the difference when
.; candidate. He not only referred to the tolls ques.
ton. but gave unqualified endorsement, with a pat
and homely illustration, to the platforms free tolls
procurement.
But he observed silence. as to the oneterm propo.
sition, and has since maintained it. And in his
course he is not only within his rights, but within
the suggestions of a sound discretion. Using the
vernacular, he is playing good politics. ,
In q private conversation the other day, a veteran
observer OF politics at the capital made the sugges-
ton that Mr.. Wilson, in case Of pronounced success
with his policies, might surprise the country two
years hence by taking himself out of the equation.
With one shining term to his credit, he might decide
not to tempt fortune by trying a second, in which he
might fail.
The answer was that, strong as he has shown him.
self to be and would be then, Mr.. Wilson is not a
suDerman. No man, it was contended would forego
such an opportunity to hold on to power. The very
OH u II Stdhc NOulu uldhc liz NeuluIc HIcolotiUAO'
Another point made in reply was that, in case OF
renunciation, Mr.. Wilson would be expected to name
the Democratic nominee, that Mr.. Bryan would claim
the designation, and that even Mr.. Wilson could not
elect Mr.. Bryan. Although the country accepted Mr..
Wilson at Mr.. Bryans hands, it would not accept Mr..
Bryan at Mr.. Wilson's hands.
Such speculation, while interesting, is nothing but
speculation. The facts are that Mr.. Wilson will be
available in 1916, and if he stands then crowned with
success, precedent will call for his reelection. Next
after the Civil war, the greatest misfortune with the
greatest losses this country has ever sustained was
In the defeat for reelection of Benjamin Harrison,
who had given the people an excellent administration,
and was in position to continue his good work.
Mr.. Wilson is playing the game as if he relished
It; and while the cards continue to come his way
he is not likely to cash in and quit. More likely
is he to snuggle down firmly in his chair and double
his play. Should his luck change-but that is an
other story. In that event problems would multiply
for both parties; and we should witness some siren.
uous ~hustling on both sides for position.
