The arbitration board consists of
Judge Jeter C. Pritchard of Ashville.
S. c., chairman, and Charles Nagel
of st. Louis, formerly commissioner
of commerce and labor, the two neu-
trail members. and the following rep
resentatives of the brotherhoods and
the railroad companies: For the
brotherhoods, f. A. Burgess, assis-
tant grand chief engineer of the en-
gineers' brotherhood, and Timothy
Shea, assistant to the president OF
the firemen,s brotherhood; for the
railroads, w. l.. Park. vice president
of the Illinois Central Railroad, and
H. e. Byram, vice president of the
Burlington Railroad company. I'm
der the NewIands Act, therefore, the
whole wage and hour controversy
among western railroad employees
! virtually rests in the hands of Judge
Pritchard and Mr.. Nagel, the twt
neutral arbitrators.

II will soon be time to nominate
candidates for the various city offices
to be voted for on April q. The
law provides that certificates Of nom.
ination must be filed with the city
clerk at least ten days prior to the
election, which means that Saturday.
April II viii be the last day ON which
nominations may be filed.
As there il no sentiment this year
in favor of conducting the city cam
paiRn on party lines. Il is likely chat
there will be but one ticket in the
field. which will probably be nomi-
mated at a mass meeting, as has been
done in the past two elections, This
mass meeting should be held not later
than April i4th, so that in the event
the ticket nominated Is not satisfac.
tory to any number Of citizens, they
will have time to place another ticket
in the field before the 18th.
So far as we have been able Ia
learn, there are no aspirants for the
office Of mayor, although we have
heard the names Of several spoken as
probable candidates. j. J. Taylor's
name has been most frequently men,
toned in this connection. but Jos
says that his experience Of tive
months as acting mayor was enough
for him. and he wouldn't accept the
nomination under any consideration
Notwithstanding this statement, WI
believe MIR. Taylor could be- induced
to shoulder the burdens Of mayol
for the next two years, II his friendl
will prevail upon him sufficiently
He has the time necessary TO devote
to the office. and there IN no ques
tion but what he would make a GOOD
official. His experience as council
man during the past two years hal
given him insight into city affair
which would be Of material aid Il

WILSON HAS LOST HOLD
ON THE EMPIRE STATE
Disposal Of Patronage Has Split New York De-
mouacy Wide 0pen-Secretary McAdoo
Allowed to Distribute PlumS.

Washington, March 2O.-While
many things may transphe in two
years it looks today as though New
York state would be lost to the dem
ocratic party in 1916 and especially
so in the national campaign. Presi-
dent Wilson has done about every
thing in his power to ALLEVIATE the
New York Democracy, or the major
portion of it; he has arrayed against
himself the New York democratic
leaders, and has succeeded in split
ting the party SO wide that it is doubt
full if the breach can be healed be-
tween now and the election to be
held in November of next year.
Patronage, of course, is at the bot
tom of the trouble between the presi-
dent and the New York democrats.
At the outset of the administration
President Wilson turned to Secretary
McAdoo for advice regarding New
York democrats who should be re-
warded with federal offices. He ig-
nored Senator O'Gorman, the one
democrat from New York in the up
per branch of congress, and repeat
edly turned down men indorsed by
O'Gorman, only to name men select
ed by Mr.. McAdoo, his own son-in-
law. Secretary McAdoo was not ad-
verse to taking control of patronage
in New York state and the charge
has been made repeatedly that the
secretary Of the treasury has seen ia
it that the president has honored his
own personal and business friends,
regardless of whether they have been
active workers in the democratic
party or have been mere privates in
the democratic ranks. The further
charge has been made that Secretary
McAdoo has been rewarding meT
who will be able to aid him when hil
career in the cabinet ends and he re
turns to his business in New Yorl
city.
Certain it is that the president hal
been ignoring the democratic leaders
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1915-03-26

in New York state: he only recently
antagonized Representative Fitzger-
aid of New York, the chairman of
the house appropriations committee,
ignored other New York democrats
in making appointments concerning
which they had a right to believe
they would be consulted, and went
out of his way to turn down every
candidate who had Tammany back
ing or Endorsement. Time and again
the president has listened to Secre-
tary McAdoo and on his recommend
alton has appointed men whose demo-
cracy was not deep and had never
been pronounced and in each instance
he has rejected men who have been
active and effective democratic work
ers in New York, city and state.
The opinion is quite general that
if, in the next campaign, President
Wilson is the democratic nominee he
will lose the vote of New York, no
matter who may be the republican
candidate, and Tammany, which feels
the sights heaped upon it, is amply
strong to see to it that New York
does not go democratic at the presi-
Dental election. That Tammany
would go to the extreme of throw
ing New York to the republicans is
not to be questioned, for Tammany
has never yet even though temporar-
lily unhorsed hesitated to aid the OPP
position party if that was the only
means of Furnishing democratic lead
ers or democratic candidates against
whom it had a grudge.
Secretary McAdoo, of himself, is 3
small factor in the New York demo
/ cracy; he has never been a political
power nor has he been recognized as
a party leader in his own state. He
has not the strength to deliver New
York state to his father-in-law, and
in turning over to him the control oi
New York patronage the president
made one of his most serious blum.
