Harvey Declares for Hughes.

Col. George Harvey's pronouncement
for Hughes is none the less interesting
and important because expected, and it
should prove all the more effective be-
cause of the reasons offered in support
of it. Il does not rest upon personah-
ties, but principles.
As is well known, Col. Harvey was
the first man having the ear Of a wide
public to propose Woodrow Wilson for
the presidency. At that time Mr.. Will
son was the head Of Princeton Univer-
sity, and practically stranger to the
everyday political world. He had repu-
tation only as teacher and writer.
The Harvey suggestion attracted at
tention, and then followed the rapid
growth Of Mr.. Wilson in political favor.
His friends, under Col. Harvey's leader
ship and with the presidency in mind,
made him Governor of New Jersey, and
then began the drive for the democratic
presidential nomination.
At this stage Of the game Mr.. Wilson
and Col. Harvey and Henry Watterson
met for consultation one day, when Mr..
Wilson. in reply to a question, declared
that Col. Harvey's support was proving
Of injury to his, Wilson's, campaign.
Promptly, of course, Col. Harvey pulled
mp, and Mr. Wilson went on without
him and reached goal
This, however, has no part in the
proposition which Col. Harvey now sub
nits-that as between Mr.. Wilson and
the democratic party and Mr.. Hughes
and the republican party the country
for the coming four years would be
best served by the latter. And in sup
port of his proposition Col. Harvey, who
has always been and still claims to be a
democrat, submits opinions about the
democratic record for the past three
years, itemized.
Maybe his most noteworthy observa-
tion is about the tariff. He declares for
protection, as the policy necessary to
HAAcAASdh AAuuoefACo III tIC AASuL VI Wudt
may be expected at the close Of the
European war. He has in mind the
value Of the home markets and the fig.
ures Of the home wage scales, and wants
both supported by legislation bearing
directly upon them. And he considers
the republican party, the party of pro-
lection, under the leadership Of Mr..
Hughes, the outspoken advocate Of pro-
lection, as the proper, the best, instru-
ment for securing the needed protec-
ton.
This position could not have been
difficult for Jerseyman to take. Cod.
Harvey knows the state of his residence
and its place in the manufacturing
world; and he is not the first democrat
Of influence in the commonwealth to
become convinced that a tariff for reve-
nue. only is not only unwise, but if per-
sisted in will produce a smashing ma
tional disaster to manufacturers, mer-
chants and wage earners alike.

The Clarke Vacancy.

The death Of Mr.. Clarke promptly pro-
duces speculation about the succession
in the Office Of president pro tempore
Of the Senate. The vacancy will be
filled when the Senate meets.
1t is not an important Office. No
patronage is attached. The incumbent
should be a good parliamentarian, and,
OF course, in sympathy with the majority
Of the body on general party principles
He presides in the Vice Presidents ab-
sence, and that is about all He is
simply senator called from the floor
to do temporary duty in the chair. He
retains his vote az senator, and is not
confined to recording himself in cases
of tie. In large sense the bestowal
of the Office is personal compliment
and an expression of confidence.
II the democrats elect their national
ticket and retain control of the Senate
this place will be practically at the
Presidents disposal, and he will prob
ably name the man. He will be q pow
erful factor in party affairs, and he
does not hesitate to exercise the power
that goes with his Office, or that comes
to him from the hesitation or unwih.
ingness to act Of his associates. He
leads whenever there is opportunity.
II the democratic national ticket il
defeated, and the party still control,
the Senate, we may see the selection
made without reference to the Presi
dents wishes The democratic senator,
may compliment some one Of their mum
Der on grounds largely personal to them

colors went to the head of the col
umn, the captain gave the order, and
TRAMP, tramp, tramp; the boys
were marching.
Past the cleaning front of the
Temple and the owl-like Star. and
thru the quiet streets they went on
what was maybe the first of many
marches. At the Seaboard station
they had to wait fully three hours.
With the rapidly growing aptitude of
born soldiers they made themselves
comfortable on the bricks at the foot
of Magnolia street. Some stretched
out and went sound asleep, and some
sat and smoked, but most of them put
in their time talking with their
friends. Fully a hundred people,
many of them ladies, remained with
the boys to the last.
It was almost 3 a. m. when the spe-
cial train with the Plant City COM
pany rolled In. The Ocala boys climb
ed aboard their cars, which were
hooked on, and with parting roar of
cheers from themselves and their
new comrades the train pulled out
Scores stood on the tracks to watch
the rear car till with a last wink of
the tail lights it vanished around the
curve, and Ocala's soldiers were on
their way.
