Editor Gazette
The daily Press of New York


City is quite solidly for Hughes SO
is Wall Street. We don't like to
admit it but it is the simple fact.
You can buy "a page paper in
New York for cent so l could af-
ford to invest and while ! did not
read them all read all could find.
There was no intention to cover the
city. The territory traversed ex-
tended from 18th street to 26th in
GLIDING Broadway and 9Th Avenue.
There was one thing that was more
prominent than any other-the ap-
palling preponderance of the for
eign element. In this the Germans
and Scandinavians are not included
but the Italians, Greeks and He
brews. In the morning at seven
o'clock there were more than one
thousand people congregated in
Union Square and there was no
chance for an American to find out
what it was all about. The next
morning the same conditions pre-
vailed. In all that multitude there
was not man of American birth.
Of course It has been clearly shown
that the United States shows won
derful power of absorption but CIV
ilization will gag many times before
assimilating this motley crowd. Of
course New York is great city
but how much greater she would be
if she could lose one-third of her
population.
The Republican press comedies
Wilson 100000 majority but it
looks more like one hundred thou
sand to an outsider. The Wilson
papers are jubilant, the opposition
half hearted. Talk to Republican
and he scores Wilson to finish and
then frankly admits that Hughes
campaign is not satisfactory. The
straight Republicans will support
Hughes because they can do nothing
else and maintain their party or
ganization, But here is the key
note, what difference does it make
that you think a thing as Repub-
lican, if it is wrong? What differ
ence does it make if you think
thing as Democrat, if it is not
true? Your being Republican or
a Democrat does not make it true,
or what difference does a party
make, or a party's interests make,
as compared with the interests of
the nation Itself" We interpret
the above to be the attitude of the
voter today and Hughes has not
conducted his campaign in a way
that will make him the next presi-
dent of the United States. That is
the message from New York and it
is believed to be an impartial state
ment.
New York City is overgrown. It's
transfer of citizens is altogether in
adequate. People fight, not for the
privilege Of entering a street car or
a jitney, but for the privilege of
hanging on the outside. Cars run
about fifty feet apart but with all
that the cars, subways, surface and
overhead, are crowded to suffoca-
tion. How one-third of her popu-
lation lives-but that is a long,
long story.
The saloons are doing a big bust
ness. Prohibition IN the city is
sure to come but not until the mill
lennium is ushered in. There is
probably no other city in which you
can find anything and everything
you look for in such great abun-
dance. We're we living in Bible
times the city would find little toll
Grafton. There is much that is
good and commendable in this Won
derful city-there must be to miti-
gate the evil-but the person who
is looking for any material refor-
nation here, will go to his grave a
disappointed man.
The train service is most admir-
able. One needs not consult time
