Governor WHIrMAN's not illibcral
sentative budget" submitted to the
legislature at the beginning of the
session, called for appropriations ng-
g~regating x51,161 .5lI.+4. The law
makers provided SOL .~OO+,45s.Os for the
service covered in the Governors pro-
posal. or this total Mr.. WHITMAN
has vetoed items amounting To ST.
001 ,O06. leaving the sum nppropri.

more than his own estimate, and he
holds out hope for savings:
"A conservative estimate OF the
amount which will accrue from tho un-
expended balances Of the present APP
preparation act to aid the financing OF
the expenditures OF State Government
next year is In excess of $4,000, 600
and probably will reach 5000 600. 80
h q while that amount OF saving cannot
be represented In a reduction at this
time In total appropriations approved
by me. the amount OF aving is assured
by the form of the appropriation act
ITSELF"
From this II appears that the Leg.
islature and the Governor should have
put on the books appropriation bills
carrying not more than SJ6.NU.Nnl
instead of $50 OO,NU. Their ovcrap-
preparation Is not charged against
the State administration by political
opponents, but Is confessed in terms
that indicate n certain pride in the
performance. We may expect u virtu.
Gus Boosting about economy when the
books are closed, and the fact that
the excessive allowances have not all
been spent will be brought forward as
testimony to the efficiency and hon
esty Of the administration.
The fact Is that the whole proceed
ing reveals once more the loose and
u~nbusinesslike manner In which the
States affairs are conducted. The
appropriations. on the testimony oi
tho Governor, bears no relation tn the
needs of the public service; the Leg
islature passes items unnecessarily
large: the Governor approves them
and the protection Of the taxpayer
rests on the insecure foundation OF q
department managers devotion to the
unpopular cause of thrift.

To THE EDITOR OF TIE SuN-ST: we

SENATOR ROOTS STRENGTH.
The Election Returns COnfute a
Loudly Made Assertion.

To THE EpiToR OF THE SUN--Str: !
wish YOU would kindly grant me space
in your valuable paper to correct a false
Impression which is being circulated
relative to the strength OF senator Root
with the voters OF the State. On every
hand 1t is acknowledged that he is the
greatest statesman in the Republican
party and the best equipped man the
party could nominate at this time for
President. But some politicians oppose
his nomination on the ground that he
could not be elected. The wish must he
the father of the thought. The senti-
ment expressed by the people at the ball
lot box does not confirm their judgment.
To say that the Republicans would not
support their greatest statesman FOR
President In this national and internal
tional crisis is to discredit the intelli-
gence and patriotism OF the Republican
voters OF the country.
Senator Root, when on the ticket as
a delegate at large at the "a me election.
ran ahead OF all the Republican candi-
dates on the State ticket with the eN-
ception of Gov. Whitman and state En-
gineer Williams. Gov. Whitman was
running practically against two Demo-
cratic candidates. Glynn and Sulzer
State Engineer Williams had previously
been elected and had given the state u
fine administration and was popular
Besides. he was running against John
\ Bensel. a weak candidate. whom many
Of the Democratic leaders in the state
openly opposed. These were the only
two candidates on the State ticket who
received n larger vote than Senator
was as follows
s'nator iSoDt ......... q. .s..... .Nb-, b''
senator Wadswcrth ............ 63o. H.

secretary OF state Hugo ......... 6oi ST.
Comptroller Travis. ...... .G5I ,3I3
Treasurer Wells ...... go sll
Attorney.G-neral Woodbury.. ...... .Gii, sea
Justice Chase ga Ala
Also. while Senator Root ran ahead
Of most Of the Republican, on the state
ticket. Gov, Hughes In 1905 ran behind
every candidate IN the Republican tick
ct. The figures are as follows:
Plurality.
tart, 'or President. ........... 2o2 So

Dunn Treasurer. les hoa
Koenig. Secretary Of state .122.47s
white. observation-disclosures ......I1g7
Gaus. Comptroller ............, o6.sao
hughes, Governor. ....... Go, 40.
These facts all prove that the noise
OF partisans and the interviews of poll
ticians who lack Information do not ex-
press public sentiment. but that IL Is
recorded at the ballot box.
In the discussion Of the availability
OF candidates II is important that ini'u-
entail newspapers like yours should give
the people correct information. II Is
also worthy of note that Senator Root
received a plurality of $3.50 over for
mer Chief Justice Cullen. the strongest
Democratic candidate for delegate NJ
large. and he received "A plurality OF
10l ,SS5 over the Democratic candidate.
