America has led to the suggestion OF

A careful study of not only Republic

"Stronger Than His Party"

The defeat of President Wilson's
nomination of Senator James MARITIME
in the New Jersey primaries is the
severest blow the popular Democratic
fallacy that president Wilson is
stronger than his party" has thus far
received. Senator Marines election
as senator six years ago was brought
about by Mr.. Wilson, then Governor.
at which time Mr.. Wilson betrayed his
own political sponsor. James Smith.
Having made MARITIME senator, Mr..
Wilson thought he owned him and
when, on one or two occasions, Mar
tine showed some independence and
refused to vote as the White House
directed, Mr.. Wilson became very in
dignant and decreed that MARITIME
should not return to the Senate. Ac-
cordingly, he fathered the candidacy of
John w. Wescott, attorney general of
New Jersey and caused all the influ-
SnCe OF CQe w mite HOUSE anu OIL tne
Democratic state machine to be exert
ed in Westcott's behalf.
The result speaks for itself. Wes-
colt was defeated and MARITIME renomi-
mated by 10000 plurality. Democratic
politicians in Jersey declare that the
rank and file were not especially strong
for MARITIME but that they bitterly re-
scented President Wilson's autocratic
attitude toward their senator and his
interference in the affairs of the state
and that Marines nomination is.
therefore. far more of rebuke for
Wilson than victory for MARITIME.
The victory of Joseph S. Frelinghuy-
sen overSformer Governor Franklin
Murphy in the Republican senatorial
primaries is source of especia! graft
fication to the progressive element of
the Republican party. Mr.. Freling-
huysens election is regarded as as
sured.

Campaigning at Public Expense.

Despite the free and generally desir-
able use Of the ranking privilege the
Democratic campaign managers are
apparently not content-and in the lat
est issue of the Congressional Record
is to be found one Of the most remark
able bits Of political effrontery which
Washington can recall.
In the issue of Saturday, Sept. 16 the
Record prints an extension Of re-
marks" by Congressman Raker Of Cal
ifornia. These extensions, it is we'll
known, are matter which is never
spoken on the floor of the House ana
which is put into the Records pages by
unanimous consent. 1t is customary to
state, in general terms, what the ma
ture Of the extended remarks" is to
be; and 1t would be interesting to know
how Mr.. Raker described the document
which he has just printed.
1t Is speech purporting to set forth
the achievements Of young men under
the aegis of the Democratic party: it
contains stirring appeal to young
men to join the Democratic party; and
it's concluding paragraphs are a letter
signed by Fred B. Lynch, chairman
Democratic National Bureau of Pol
itical Organizations and Clubs. pre-
pared blank for the application of a
local Democratic organization in that
Bureau, and a blank for the enrolment
Of individuals In the Democratic Vol
unteer Army of 1916" Mr. Lynch's
letter is headed "A Call for Volunteers"
and the enrolment blank contains {,
direct request for a money contribution
to the Democratic cause.
The purpose Of all this is evident All
the necessary language being an ''ex-
tract from the Congressional Record,
it is entirely feasible for the Democrat
ic campaign managers to circulate
these appeals for enrolment and for
money contributions through the mails
under frank and without cost of a
single penny for postage. The law
does not specify the form in which "ex-
tracts from the Congressional Record"
shall be printed; and Mr.. Lynch can
have his circulars done in regular,
campaign document style and can flood
the mails with them for nothing.
The plan of the Democratic party
this year evidently is to saddle off the
cost Of their campaign on the people.
Every federal officer who can pro-
nounce three consecutive sentences
granmatically has been reQuisitioned
for service on the stump-while his Of
fetal duties are neglected or are per-
formed by a substitute al government
expense. Mr. Wilson has just nanued
on $6co00,0 900 of increased railroad eX-
pense to the public III order to assure
himself Of the support of the Brother
hood membership. And now it is
planned to have the dear people pay
for the circulation of appeals for en-
roll,nent and money for Democratic
campaign clubs.
If gall means votes, the Democrats
will be invincible.

The detailed tabulation Of the Maine
vote shows that the Prohibitionists,
with 249 votes for Linus w. Seeley OF
Portland, made the poorest showing
since 1880, the year in which they
first had a place on the Maine oai-
lot. The Prohibition party, as ma
tional organization, began to do ousl-
ness in 1869, but it was q decaoe
after that time before they nominal
ed a candidate for Governor in Maine,
though the prohibition issue was
then, as now, prominently before the
people. In 1880 they polled 124 votes.
Since then they have climbed as hlgn
as 1929 in 1902, and their strength
has run all the way between those
extremes. In 1894 Uncle Ira" Her.
sey, now corgressman-elect from the
4th district, captured 2701 votes as
the Prohibition candidate for Gov
ernor OF course, it is something that
passes the understanding of a politi-
cal student why the Prohibitionists
should nominate candidates in Maine
and thus draw a few hundred or a
few thousand votes away from the
Republican party, in which rests the
only hope of prohibitory law enforce
ment that Maine has. But they do it,
even though they can get on the bal
lot only by petition. Four years ago
they polled 1917 votes, and the shrink
age to 249 may be a tribute to their
confidence in the "ramrod" qualities
of Mr.. Milliken.
The Maine Socialist vote also
showed shrinkage, being 1858 as
compared with POSI- four years ago.
the largest vote the Socialists evc-
polled in Maine. Though the total
Maine vote, which was 150,S43. was
5000 above that cast at any previous
election, the Republican vote of ST.
317 was about a thousand less than
the Republicans cast in 1896. In that
year, however, the Democrats mus
tered only 1850 votes. as compared
with 67.719 this year The signiti-
cant thing is that the Republican
vote was 10000 larger than four years
ago, and the Democratic vote was
only II larger than in that year.

Carranza, whom President Wilson has
held UP to admiration as a man with
whose high ideals all right thinking
men the world over must sympathize" /,
has turned his attention from shooting
railway strikers on sight to holding up
American farmers. Mr.. Carranza does
not believe it practicable to invade this
country and levy tribute on the farm
ers personally, but he has accomplished
his end by establishing sisal monop-
oily which we'll take s2o,00o,oo0 out Of
the pockets of those American farmers
who have to buy binding Irvine.
a delegation representing the manu-
facturers of binding Irvine have laid
the facts before Secretary Lansing,
pointing out how American farmers
are being mulcted by Carranza, and
Secretary Lansing has had the nerve
to tell the delegation that he will refer
the matter to the New London confer
ence which, as Carranza has formally
announced, is expressly prohibited
from considering any of the internal
affairs of Mexico, or indeed. anything
but the removal of American troops
from Mexican territory.
