THE BOSSES DOMINATED.

With the adjournment of the Re
publican convention at Chicago there
has been concluded another demon
stration of the power of the bosses.
Never were the delegates of a nation
al political assembly so completely
cowed and dominated Except it was
not unlike the historic gathering of
1912.
This year, however, the bosses
avoided that contipg ency by picking
the delegates with such skill that
less cumbersome methods than those
of the steam roller were necessary,
but as someone has said, it was the
same steam roller but with rubber
tires. From first to last the delegates
did their bidding. chose all the officers
the bosses wanted and finished by
taking the man the bosses dictated.
These same bosses still control the
party They made the nomination
of Roosevelt impossible at any time
and by delaying the final stroke adj
ded to his humiliation and that of all
true Progressives who had haltingly
hoped for better things. They out
manoeuvered the Roosevelt forces and
finally used the mailed fist on the
Roosevelt hopes with the same con
clusiveness that they did in 1912.
AS Hiram Johnson said the party
was at the feet of Smoot, Crane, Pen
rose and Barnes and victory for the
rartys nominee would in very truth
be a victory for these bosses and all
they represent

REAcTloNARlEs PERPLExED.

The platform adopted by the reac
tfonaries at Chicago was no less
problem than to whom to nominate
for President 1t was not an easy
matter, though one at first blush might
so think and as at one time seemed
highly probable. The trouble was to
frame an issue that will hold as pre-
eminent and attractive until election
day in November.
At one time the tariff seemed the
most inviting issue about which to
hinge the campaign, but this has be
come considerably impaired as an r.
resistible lure The country is won
derfully prosperous in every corner of
it. The people are rolling in wealth
as never before in history. The farm
ers are obviously we'll off, and the fac
tories are running night and day in
many instances. Dividends are great
er, dividends are the general rule and
wages are running full and often
enough have been most substantial
ly increased and shorter hours grant
ed.
The dinner pail is running over.
The reactionaries realizing that the
times have not adjusted themselves
to their tariff hopes and plans, and
that calamity bowling of which they
were going to do lot viii be prepos-
ferrous in those good times. Putting
them on to the war will do no good.
Many leaders would liked to have
made the foreign policy of the Wilson
administration with reference to Eu-
rope and also Mexico an issue, but
again they noted a strong peace SEN
timent among the people in their own
strongholds. imperilling votes needed
in November.
There remained as a sole and great
issue President Wilson himself but
such concentration viii easily be a
boomerang. 1t is far more likely to
help the President to a reelection
than not The reactionaries have at
last realized their perpleXities. They
sorely want to win. They sought har-
mony, but failed to get it. Their Sc
lection of a candidate was limited,
and they have nothing with which TO
make a successful appeal to the peo-
pie.

.ype Of construction for a road.

type of construction for a road.
For instance. there was we'll
known road in Massachusetts which
was put in a condition that served
admirably for the quite numerous
carriages and automobiles then using
it, One summer it was noticed that
it was going to pieces rapidly and the
reason was sought Finally, by max
ing 24-hour counts of all the users
of the roads. it was found that very
heavy wagons had recently been put
on the road to haul ice.
Such travel required a modifica.
ton in the construction of the road.
which was made when repairs be.
came necessary and resulted in re-
turning the road to its satisfactory
condition. As no really satisfactory
planning of roads can be done with
out definite knowledge of the use
made Of them, many of the children
in the country schools of Illinois are
row being trained to make enumera-
tons of the vehicles on roads in their
neighborhood under their teachers
direction, and the counts are sent to
the road officials.
Intelligent youths make excellent
travel counters with a little training,
and local road improvement clubs will
dod very good work if they will fol-
low the Illinois plan and have actual
counts made Of the travel on their
roads. Such counts are just as i'm
portant in road improvement as TAX
ing a mans measure in tailoring.

NO INSPIRATION.

FIRST voters" will look in vain for
any inspiration from the Republican,
convention. From the very begin
ming, It was an anemic gathering OF
professional politicians and hand
picked" delegates, tereft of creed ana
life-aized candidates, persistently
awake to the main chance and OPP
nressive even to the rank and file Of
the party which has asright to eX-
pect better things.
The exhibition must have been par
ticularly humiliating to Republicans
themselves who prize the traditions
of their country, who look upon it
as their savior of their country, who
enumerate among its supporters and
chieftains some of Americas biggest
men and who really had hopes of bet
ter things.
1t is all this hopeless view and
more that first voters get of the as
semblage. None of the candidates
stood for anything except desire
to get the office. The atrociously
named keystone" speech was, as the
street says, a "fivver." 1t was rich
in ALTERATION and unusual phrases,
but it lacked substance and choked
inspiration. The nominating speeches
were no better. The absence of con
structive or even real political lead
ership was conspicuous. There was
never a sustained moment through
out its proceedings that could posi-
bly, bring a 1utter to the heart of a
young man who was on the edge of a
party decision, not excepting the
Hughes nomination which was receiv-
ed with the gloom of a funeral no
tice.
AS has been said by its friends, the
Republican party was bankrupt, That
party which it chose to despise as de-
structive and Indifferent has achieved
a record at Washington without q
parallel 1t has kept pace with hon
or and faith with the people. Prosper
ity abounds in the land and principle
is the guiding star Of it's leadership

A WORD OF APPRECIATION.

vieW.)

VleW.)
When the editor of the Review be-
came a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for governor he did so in
response to what he conceived to ne
a demand from the rank and file Of
his party as Indicated by voluntary
requests and suggestions, personally
and by letter. The result of the pri-
mary is proof that he was not mis-
taken.
without political headquarters, po-
litical managers or campaign contri-
buttons; striking only in selfdefense,
there was absolutely nothing in his
pre-primary campaign that need be
explained or which requires any apol-
ogy.
It need hardly be said that TO him
the result is most gratifying, not so
much that he attained the nomina-
ton, but that it came with such a
splendid majority, an endorsement of
which any man might we'll be proud.
Especially is he proud of the endorse
ment of the home folks" his neigh
bors. That after quarter of a cen
fury in the practice of law, editing
this newspaper, and interested in
various business enterprises, always
speaking his mind frankly and free.
ly. that only rs votes out of about
1000 in the Democratic primary
should be cast against him in the
county, is one more bit of evidence
of the friendship of the good people
of Hampshire for him. Hard legal
fights and plain words honestly spok-
en-, necessarily left some sores. That
there were not more is evidence Of

in Marion there was but handful OF
votes in opposition as IN many other
counties where he was best known.
To all those who imposed conf
Gence in him by voting for him and
working for his nomination and espe-
cially to the hundreds of loyal, faith
Jul friends, who stood on the firing
line from the beginning to the end of
the contest, courageously and openly
making his fight, the writer is crate
full beyond power of expression. He
did not mislead those friends when
he told them, before the primary, of
the size Of their approaching victory.
He believed his knowledge Of the
people of West Virginia and the con.
ditions enabled him to correctly fore
cast the result. In that he was not
mistaken.
To those same fighting friends as
well as to all the other people Of the
state who are anxious to join in the
effort to redeem this state from the
Gisgraceful political plight into which
it has fallen, he now says, with equal,
emphatic confidence, that the assur-
ances of support of Independent, pa
triotic Republicans, convince him
that beyond any doubt he can and will
win in the general election in No
yember. He would again say that
the only surprising thing then will
be the size of his majority.
