New York World
 La1nbastS the East

iii the courae of an editorial on the presidentia lection the New York World ir ..3 issue of last Fri day says:
 "The west mas indeed spoken, ard nothing better has happened in Ia generation than this shifting of the polit4al balance to a section which still maintains the old ideals of the republic, which is not own ed by it's pocketbook and which has never made a god of it's bank account Ito elect president without the sordid assistance of New York and the hardly less sor- did assistance of Illinois would be a double triumph. Even to lose the presidency by q small margin in such circumstances would be nor al victory that MT. Wilson could always remember with pride. Whether he wins or loses in the final count of the states that will decide the result, his leadership has wrought mighty political revolu- tion in the United States. The cash register patriotism of New York has been spat upon by a virile American west that is keep ing the. faith of the fathers.
 That in itself is a smashing vic tory for American democracy and The World welcomes it as tie be- ginning of new political era in the United States"

A Fiaht in Vermont

Some of the younger republicans in
Vermont are up in arms. They claim
to have discovered that group of old
er and more conservative republicans
met recently in a large city outside of
the state and fixed "a slate" for dele
gates to the republican national con.
yention in Chicago, which they hope to
put through at the coming State con-
venticn to elect delegates to the ma,
tional convention provided for in con.
nection with direct vote for choice Of
President, if the voters so desire.
The young republicans say they will
not stand for this, and they propose to
make fight to give the younger and
more progressive element of the party
representation in the national councils
If Hughes and Roosevelt, and SO lon,
refuse to assent, the young men can
not readily vote for liberal candidate
in yermont's presidential primary, but
they will fight to select delegates to
the State convention, standing for
progressive republican upon whom re-
pubicans and progressives can unite.
