Election Cross Currents
From The Boston Transcript

From The Boston transcript
As astonishing as the new grouping
Of the states is the new lineup in the
electorate. The Democrats failed to
capture the labor vote and the Republi-
cans failed to hold the farmer vote.
The much-abused hyphen cut both ways
and religious prejudice also proved to
be a two-edged sword. The German
voters In Wisconsin went for Hughes
and their brethren in Ohio went for
Wilson. There was Democratic defec-
ton in the cities and Republican defec-
ton in the country. The heads OF GER
tain universities and the larger labor
unions went one way, but both failed
TO deliver the rank and file in their
respective zones of influence. Mr.. Will
son enjoyed the support Of the largest
New York newspapers and yet he suf-
fered some of his severest losses
among their clientele. The counting OF
ballots is everywhere unusually slow
because the number of scratched bal
lots is unprecedentedly large. The
straight ticket and the strict party
vote are on the decline all over the
country and the independent is abroad
in the land. As q people we may be
one in our Americanism, but we are
more than ever many-sided in our per-
sonal preferences and political affilia-
tons

After-Care of Poliomyelitis

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: A most pathetic sight is the
child crippled as the result of an at
tack OF poliomyelitis, and there APP
pears to be need of every efficient
remedial agency being employed to
ward off such a tragic fate for thou
sands of children. The after-care is
largely, il not wholly, drugless and
consists of manipulative and exercise
processes as a rule.
Admittedly the most experienced
manipulators are the qualified osteo-
pathic physicians who successfully
treat poliomyelitis in all stages.
The undersigned cannot understand
why the boards Of health Of greater
New York and Boston do not take
advantage of the skill and experience
of this body Of qualified physicians
whose medical system is duly recog-
nized by the state. Why deprive the
hospital and clinic treated child of a
method Of cure that is especially help
full in preventing permanent deformity

gressives whom Mr.. Hughes's candi-
dacy had failed to attract.
1t may be argued that the Far
Western and mountain state Pro-
gressives contributed materially to
Mr.. Wilson's reelection, for they
gave him the ffty-three electoral
votes Of Kansas, Nebraska, North
Dakota. Montana, Colorado, Cali
fornia and Washington. 1t may be
argued also that Mormon support
turned 10 him the eleven electoral
votes of Utah, Idaho and Wyoming.
But there is no evidence that the
union labor vote was the decisive ele-
ment in carrying any state for Will
son. Mr.. Gompers's noisy promises
went for naught- As it turned out,
the Presidents bid for the labor vote
was more than fruitless. 1t was
superfuous.

WHAT WOMEN CONTRIBUTED
Thew Cast Their Votes Loyalty and
Disinterestedly

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: There seems to be some sur
pri,s tina. women In this election have
no. determined the election and nave
voted Just as men have voted. frsy
how else could they vote7 They mao
the same candidates for selection ana
Their. WAS nothing else for them 70 DO
IN. significance OF women's part IN
this campaign lies in tho fact that IN
the issues that have been presented
thew have had keen interest, and
vhether voters or non-voters, sunra-
eists or anti-suffrsgists, they have
cast aside all personal prejudices and
have given loyal, intelligent and DIS
interested service TO the political
marty with which they were affiliated.
The contribution made by women In
this campaign has been recognized IN
suffrage and non-suffrage states alike
and has rendered the position OF the
disenfranchised women ridiculous and
intolerable.
| hope and I believe that women's
mart in this campaign will bring nearer
the day when women shall not only
fight with men for the cause in which
they believe, but shall receive the
mower of the franchise to complete
their efforts.

Figured in percentages, the Social
lists have made a tremendous in
crease in their representation in the
New York Legislature-they gained
100 per cent. Figured in votes, this
means that they gained one-they
will have two members Of the As
cembly in 1917 instead Of one, their
delegation in the Legislature of 1916.
Both come from Brooklyn, Mr.. Ship
lakoff, reelected from the 23d dis
trict, and Mr.. Whitehorn, the new
member, from the 2lst.
Schenectady, which has also had
a Socialist Mayor of Schenectady
City, furnished the first Socialist
member of the state Legislature.
Of course, one member, or even
two. could not be expected to III
fluence the output of body of $50
members. With the overwhelming
Republican majority in the lower
house, the two Socialists will find
themselves appointed to tall-end
places on unimportant committees.
Nevertheless the fact remains, UNI
fortunate so far as the Socialists
themselves are concerned, that here
tofore even their views of govern
ment have not been adequately OK,
pressed in the Legislature. Over
whelmed in voting, they have made
no better place for themselves in
debate, which at least has offered
them opportunities for their favorite
form of propaganda.
The major parties have been much
criticised in recent years for the
mediocre character of the men they
have sent to the capital. The So
cialist party, which numbers among
its adherents many advanced think
ers Of considerable mental attain
ments, ought to put its best men
forward as candidates, so that when
fortune lands one of them in office
full advantage could be taken of the
opportunities for representing the
views of what manifestly is a grow
ing group in the community, though
a minority.

Re.eIecting Mr.. Wilson

From The Tribune, June 6, 1870
II Mr.. Justice Hughes is nominated
at Chicago in advance of any declara-
ton by him of his views on vital issues,
il is the deliberate judgment OF Inc
Tribune that he will be defeated at the
polls.
Mr.. Hughes has been designated by
the Hyphens as their agent to punlsh
Mr.. Wilson for his partial refusal TO
comply with Potsdam orders. NO Ger
man-American has made the smallest
concealment of the purpose OF the
Hyphens to use Mr.. Hughes to enforce
German wishes at Washington.
Such being the case, there are thou
sands and thousands of Americans who
will see no greater duty than to stann
bv the President of the United States,
assailed by alien influences because OF
his defence Of American rights.
No words Of Mr.. Hughes after nom
nation can in the smallest degree re-
move the impression that Will prevail
that he was willing to win the NOM
nation by Hyphen aid, and that his
silence, his retreat behind the Supreme
Court bench, was a deliberate attempt
10 get for himself votes and support
that might be repulsed if he said be-
fore nomination what he will have to
say after 1t.
The Tribune does not believe that
the people Of the United States Will
turn from Mr.. Wilson to Republican
candidate who has not only followed
the course which has earned Mr.. VIII
son just censure among patriotic Amer
leans, but has also permitted hlmseii
to be used as the club of disloyai ana
reasonable citizens.
The people Of the United States de-
mand courageous and unselfish leader
ship. They do not and they will not
prefer Republican cowardice to Dem
ocratic. The German Americans have
Endorsed Mr.. Hughes. The Republican
convention seems prepared TO accep'
the dictation of these Hyphens. MI
Hughes seems quite ready TO receive
the nomination at such hands, but Inc
Tribune does not believe that the peo-
ple of the United States will ever rat
ify such a bargain or accept candi-
date nominated under such circum-
stances.
II the Republican National Conven-
ton accepts the German-American can
didate and Mr.. Hughes consents to be
the Cerman-American candidate, even
for the purpose of obtaining the Re
publican nomination, Woodrow Wllsoh
will be reelected.

The Undelivered Labor Vote

Tuesdays election demonstrated
beyond dispute the non-deliverability
of the union labor vote. Mr.. Wilson
made a deliberate play for that vote
when he surrendered last August to
the demands of the four railroad
brotherhoods and put Congress in a
position in which it felt compelled
to pass the msnamed eight-hour law.
Mr.. Wilson's managers counted more
on the union labor vote, supposed to
have been captured by this piece Of
vicious special legislation, than on
any other single influence enlisted in
his behalf.
There was nothing new in this at
tempt by Mr.. Gompers to deliver the
union labor vote. lie had done the
same thing in 1908 in Mr.. Bryan's
interest. Mr.. Bryan had let him
write into the Democratic platform
of that year the plank limiting the
use of injunctions in labor dis
putes, which a Republican National
Convention had already turned down.
So Mr.. Gompers went about the
country loudly pledging union labor's
vote TO Mr.. Bryan.
The Gompers pledge was not re-
deemed in 1908. Neither was it re-
deemed last Tuesday. The effect Of
the union labor vote on the election
is nowhere discernible. The great
industrial states, where union labor
is strongest, went strongly for
Hughes (Ohio alone excepted). New
York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Illinois, Indiana and
Michigan were all for Hughes. Re-
publican nominees for Congress were
elected in nearly all the big organ
lied labor centres. Many extreme
union labor Democrats like Buchanan
and Tavenner, of Illinois, and Bailey,
Of Pennsylvania, we're defeated for
reelection. McGillicuddy lost in
Maine in September. David j..
Lewis, for many years the Mine
Workers representative from the
9th Maryland District, was defeated
last Tuesday for United States Sen
ator. The Scranton and Wilkes
Barre and Pottsville districts in
Pennsylvania returned Republican
Representatives.
The vote which reelected Mr.. Will
son came largely from the rural dis
tricts, from states in which there is
only trace of highly unionized
labor. II came from the Mormon
states of Utah, Wyoming and Idaho
from Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska,
Montana, North Dakota, Nevada,

For the sake OF that unfortunate

Plausible excuses are given by deal
ers for the increase in prices of food

crop is short; the farmers haven't
been getting enough for their milk;
the increased manufacturing has
taken the available supply Of coal,
and labor Is SO scarce that the regu-
lar production Of this commodity
can't be accelerated. All these don't
reduce the burden on the consumer

least he will paw feeling that he must

Where Women Study Law

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t has long been the taunt OF
business men that the legal mind is
less susceptible to progress than the
lay mind. But it has been said that
this is quite as it should be, and until
reform has clearly demonstrated It's
practicability it is dangerous TO per-
nit it to sway the court or its officers.
But the learned professors who com
pose the faculty of the Columbia UNI
gersity Law School seem even more in
clined to conservatism than their asso-
ciates in active practice. The law
office with a staff composed exclusively
of men is as obsolete as the common
law disabilities of coverture. No court
exists in this state Of ours at the bar
of which woman has not ably pleaded.
No legislature convenes, no election is
held. but that the voice Of woman is
heard and needed. Nevertheless, the
sage and profound professors of Co
lumbia are appalled, at the thought Of
women students at the Law School.
Wake up, Columbia!

Mexico and the Monroe Doctrine

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your issue Of to-day. under
the heading "'Mexico Fears British Will
Land Troops appears the following
statement: "If, however, the fuel sup
ply of the British fleet is actually in
danger the British government might,
it is admitted, be forced to disregard
the Monroe Doctrine"
This statement apparently ignores
the fact that one of the community of
British nations, Canada, Is self-gov-
erning American power, entitled to ex-
ercise the same rights of action on the
Western Hemisphere as the United
States or any other American nation.
In the matter Of immediate military
strength and preparedness, with her
veteran army of 100000 men and par
TALLY trained reinforcements of l5O,-
900 men, she is probably the predoml-
nant military power of America. The
Monroe Doctrine was never intended to
limit the action of any American power
in its dealings with other countries on
the Western Hemisphere nor prevent
any American power asserting or main
tanning control over the territory OF
any other American country in the de-
fence Of it's financial interests or for
any other purpose. 1t is we'll known
that Canadian financial interests in
Mexico are quite important, and il in
the defence of these interests regularly
acquired under Mexican law Canada
should send an army to Mexico she
certainly would not be acting in VIC
lation Of any principle of the Monroe
Doctrine, express or implied.
