Organization again won a victory
over individual initiative in the pri-
maries of the Democrats. Republi-
cans, and Progressives in New York
State. There is no other way in
which the results can be interpreted.
District Attorney Whitman was
backed by the Republican organiza-
tion for the gubernatorial nomina-
tiOn and was victorious. Gov. Glynn
was backed for denomination by the
Democratic organization and was
successful. Davenport backed by
Col. Roosevelt and the Progressive
organization, for the Progressive
nomination for governor, carried the
day against Sulzer without much ef-
fort
Attractive personalities, splendid
oratorical powers, individual cam
paigning industry. and all the quail
ties deemed desirable In insurgent
candidates were swept aside by the
solid phalanx of organization votes
The bitter attacks upon Mr.. Whitman
made by Col. Roosevelt, apparently
made no dent in the lines of the Re-
publican organization that was back
ing him for the nomination. The
epigrammatic speeches Of Job He'd
ges, who Is regarded as one Of the
most popular men in the Republican
party, did not serve to flank the or
ganization regiments. The vauntet
independence OF Hinman, originally
the choice Of Col. Roosevelt, did MOI
serve 10 advance his campaign beyond
a mere fash in the pan.

Intellectual, has failed to shake the
belief of many in the theory Of aerial
concussion and consequent condensa-
tion of moisture.
tt is a matter Of record that great
battles have been succeeded by heavy
rains. The Napoleonic campaigns and
the history of the civil war contain
numerous references to this apparent
relationship. And the current reports
from Europe are replete with refer
ences to trenches filled with water
and the dragging of guns through
level areas turned by the descending
floods into almost impossible moras-
ses.
The mention Of rains in connection
with military movements is natural
enough. Nothing else could be more
influential in determining the rapidity
of aggressive operations than unto
ward weather conditions; hence, any

sufficient to impede progress, is bound

Deliberate study of the South
American trade situation fully con-
firms the existence Of a great oppor-
tunity for American producers and
exporters as a result of the war in
Europe. The exact nature of the
opening and the conditions under
which advantage may be taken Of it
are also being clearly defined. The
true prospect is for the creation OF
new markets for our wares rather
than for making inflated instan-
taneous sales. This, Of course, is
the objective that every thinking per-
son has had in view ever since at
teption was aroused regarding the
possibilities Of the field. However
good quick sales might be, real pros
perity lies in permanent trade rela-
tions.
The business systems Of the Latin
American republics have been disor-
ganized by the European convulsion
10 a degree which is only now begin
ming to be realized here. Perhaps
the sudden stoppage Of supplies of
manufactured goods which they used
10 import from Germany, England and
France is the least serious Of their
embarrassments. Much more serious
is the check 10 the expectation OF
their own products of which the bel
Iigeront Powers took By far the
greatest proportion. Perhaps most
serious of all is she financial entan-
clement The stoppage of money on
loan. the cessation Of advances, the
strangulation of credit, these are the

general weather conditions, the pre-
vailing winds, the pressure distrihu-
ton, and the other factors that de-
termine rain or sunshine. The
weather charts of Great Britain are
now at hand. And these sufficiently
dispose OF the necessity for going
further than their own presentation
of causes in order to account for the
conditions that, have been reported.
During the second decade of Septem-
ber there was pronounced high at
mospheric pressure in the vicinity Of
the Azores, while to the north OF
England a persistent "low" held
sway. This meant winds from the
ocean, filed with moisture and blow
ing steadily over the continent.
There is no need to hunt elsewhere
for the cause Of the rains. With
pressure as low as 29.06 inches at
Berwick. in northern Scotland, the

the southwest came significant sounds
and the smell of falling weather"
AS the British fisher poet wrote:
Oh, blessed southwest wind.
Oh, blessed southwest train,
Oh, blessed southwest Speakers

Oh, blessed southwest rainl
The past twenty days may not have
fulfilled the promise Of blessing heard
by the poet. nor the stroke OF "Big
Ben" in parliament have been that OF
calm assurance. But the elements
take small account of mans interfer-
ence. The Southwest winds" and
not the cannon's roar, have caused
the rains.

New York State Must
Count The C0sf of a Divided
Opposition 10 Tammany
CFrom The New York Tribune)

Mr.. Whitman was not The Tri-
bune's choice for the Republican
nomination for Governor. Neyerthe-
less, The Tribune intends to support
him and urges all citizens desirOus
of ending the Murphy scandals at AL
bany to vote for him. HE nOmina-
tion insures a divided opposition TO
Tammany to an extent which would
not have been the case II Mr. Hin
man had been chosen. But it is the
duty of all Republicans and of all
former Republicans and Independent
voters who revolt at the evils of Tam
many government 10 endeavor to
make this breach as narrow as pos
sible.
It is evident that while the District
Attorney obtained valuable support
from the Barnes wing Of his party, he
made an appeal to enrolled Repub-
licans far wider than that He was
taken on his excellent record. in
spite of the fact that MIR. Barnes was
backing him. He should recognize
this. The fact that Mr.. Roosevelt
was manoeuvred into an attack on
him which eventually gained him
Barnes's support undoubtedly worked
to his advantage in the primary CAM
paign. 1t is not likely to be so much
of an advantage in the election cam
paign. Tammeny reioiced loudly
when it became apparent that there
was to be no fusion on q candidate
for Governor against Governor Glynn.
Tammany is continuing to rejoice
discreetly now-over the possibility
Of an enlargement and extension of
the Barnes-Roosevelt controversy 10
a point where Mr.. Whitman's candi-
ddcy would be irretrievahly engulfed
It depends largely on Mr. Whitman
himself whether that be the case, and
he must remember that he now has
Republican prospects as well as his
own to consider.
When Colonel Roosevelt attacked
him as a Barnes man. The Tribune, as
we'll as many other newspapers, re.
futed the accusation as unfair and
unjust. When later the state chair
man became active in Mr.. Whitman''
support a certain color was given K
the Roosevelt charges which only
Mr. Whitman himself can now re
move. His record procured hi'
nomination in spite Of the undesirable
elements IN his political following
His record now must procure his
election; but it cannot do it il tht
handicap of that same political fac
tion is not reduced by Mr.. Whitman
himself His success and his party
depend on his so conducting his cam
paign that Independent Democrats
liberal Republicans and Progressive
may feel that their support of hin
will square with their views of poll
tical reforms needed and politica
changes desired. Only 50 may tn
necessary votes be obtained to chas
the Tiger out of Albany.
That is the issue this year-an is
sue which is bigger and more vita
than the contest for nomination
within any party, and bigger than tn
differences between the Repubica
party and many Of its former mem
bers. If the opposition to Tamman
Is divided, Murphy rules. The stat
Evening journal., 1914-10-02

has seen what Murphy rule means.
Mr.. Whitman has done splendid pub
lie service as District Attorney in
showing the state some of the things
which Murphy rule means. Proper
punishment for some of the crimes
of Murphyism was escaped by those
guilty of them because Murphy held
the state. That condition IS intoler-
able.
A continuation Of Murphy rule
means a continuation OF the road
thefts for which at least one Tam
many district leader was convicted
and for which others should have
been. A continuation of Murphy rule
means further debauching Of the
primary and election laws and fur
ther degrading of the election ma
chinery to the dirty work of politics.
IL means more fake economy of the
type which starves necessary state
works In order to pad the payrolls
and fill the departments with political
chair warmers. 1t means campaign
blaolkmail. II means special privi-
leges to Tammany's friends which
cost the state huge sums indirectly,
and it means enforcement of the laws
by favor.
Victory for Tammany means the
/ election Of Tammany's constitutional
convention delegates and new con-
stitution made by the Ahearn and
! Haffen brand of Democrat. Victory
/ for Tammany means, in short waste,
disagreement, graft The state has
/ tried this system for four years. II
has cost tens of thousands Of dollars
annually in needless expenditures; it
has weakened and impoverished the
states departments and bureaus; it
has left on the records the inefface-
able stain Of the Sulzer impeachment,
through the Vaccinations of a disap-
pointed boss.
New York State must count the
cost. It can have honest government
under Whitman and more hope OF
able and efficient government If he
associates with him the kind of men
the voters demand than would ever
be possible from Tammany. Mr.
Whitman has promised, If elected, tc
pursue the crooks and jail them. Fol
this service he has especial Qualif-
cations, and It is a service which
needs to be rendered before there
can be proper reconstruction OF tho
states agencies Of business and z
restoration of decent conditions in the
Capitol. On the other hand Is th'

denly, unawares and in a state of

In entering the South American
field as would be successors TO the
great commercial Powers of Europe
we must naturally be prepared to
take up all their functions. It would
be vain to think that we could estab-
lish continuous relations Of profitable
reciprocity without Offering the other
party to the deal approximately the
same facilities to which they were ac-
customed. To rush in with the eX-
pectatiOn OF selling our wares head
long without giving any advantage or

surd. Such a project could result in
nothing but defeat and disappoint-
ment.

a foreign trade last year aggregating
three thousand million dollars in Inn

City Bank for the establishment OF

prospectors who have beer sent by
our great houses to cultivate the

New News Of Yesterday
The Editor Who Made a
Double Blunder
By Holland.

Col. Charles Greene was for many
Years spoken of as the Democratic edi-
tor Of New England who was OF the
greatest influence and whose printed
words in the editorial columns Of the
Boston Post were accepted as gospel and
as the voice of the Democratic party by
the great body of Massachusetts Demo-
Gratis and, to a considerable extent, by
those Of all New England.
Col. Greene was of what is sometimes
called the "old school," both as a man,
a citizen, and as a newspaper proprie-
tor. In personal appearance, he was
tall. somewhat slender, and when in his
newspaper offices the expression upon
his face was severe-somewhat hard
lines appearing around his lips and
upon his forehead suggesting severity
Of habit and rigid personal discipline.
And vet when not in immediate
touch with his newspaper, Col. Greene
was of most gracious and kindly man
ner. his smile was charming and inspired
confidence. and no one could laugh more
heartily than he at a wholesome joke
or a witticism in which there was nC
sting
The colonel worked out for himself
some rather peculiar methods, both o.
editorial and business management. H'
was one of the first TO understand tina
readers even of a severely dignitie'
newspaper were fond of a little fun
and for that reason he caused a dali.
