HOW A CONDUCTOR

ABOUT 1.-THE street car men of
Chicago owe an obligation in this
coming election that they should
gladly and willingly pay. Maclay
HOyne represented us in the street
car controversy and we received
about 40 cents a day more wages
than before that favorable decision
was made. We would indeed be I'M
grateful men to support any other
candidate at this time. When a fell
low does me a good turn want to
return the favor with good measure.
Is there anything wrong about
that? This favor to me amounted to
about 800 a year and it certainly
comes in just right when eats are
going up all the time. Is there any
thing unreasonable about throwing
your political prejudice overheard
and giving a man a lift that helped
you? You are under an obligation
and if you are built right you will re-
spond cheerfuIIy. Ibelieve in return
ing favOTs.
If Vim. HAZE Thompson wants any
Office within the gift of this nation
he can rest assured that he will get
my vote. Though their political
methods of conducting their respec-
tive Offices do not meet with my ap-
proVal in every way, they have
helped me and I'll give them lift in
return.
1 voted for Guinea the last time
and have nothing but admiration for
him. certainly admire man who
has the Suitability to come up
through poverty and make some
thing in the world like Harry B. Mil
Ter, and it shows big heartedness in
Mayor Thompson to give a worthy
boy a helping hand.
After all is said and reasonable de-

THE PUBLIC FORUM

GOVERNMENT.-It is almost a
liberal education to peruse the col
Umns of The Day Book, especially
The Forum department. A number
of questions which have long been
lodged in the back of my mind have
been raised by the recent letters of
Vincent.
He questions the justice of ma
jOrity rule and seems to prove that
the real majority is only a very small
portion of the voters even. l agree
that the effective majority may be
but 1-25th of the population. Is that
not more just than the rule of a still
smaller majority? The people ought
to rule themselves. How else are
they to do it unless the majority de-
cides?
While it is true that government
by consent of the governed does not
exist, I can not see why Vincent calls
the idea fiction. If people agree to
a form of government, that certainly
is a government by their consent.
How about it, Mr.. Vincent?
Nobody needs to be vOteless long
in this country if they really want to
be citizens. Socialism ought to be
enough better than capitalism to in
dUce every person to become a voter.
And, yet, Vincent is free to refrain
from voting if he don't want to.
The discussion of these fundamen-
tai matters are important to a de-
mOCracy-L. Perry.

u L
Washington, Oct a1.-Manyse OF the
official circle in Washington are
wondering why the campaign activities
Of Newton d. Baker secretary Of war,
have SO suddenly ceased. "a
The question is being asked whether
the democratic national committee
might not have taken steps to keep
Baker safely out of harms way for the
rest Of the campaign. Heretofore Mr..
Baker has been, a busy little campaign
err telling how the president has kept
the country out Of war.
But since last Thursday night, when
Mr.. Baker gave out his famous state
ment charging that enemies of the ad-
ministrations' policy toward Mexico"
were planning a spectacular raid on
some point on the border to influence
the election, he has not been so active.
The secretary announced today that
he will speak at Cleveland on Thurs
day. It is pointed out that the demo-
cratic national committee could hardly
deny Mr.. Baker the right to make an
adadress In his home town, but prob
ably reserved the right to inspect his
manuscript.

BLACKLIST REPLY SECRET.
Keeping Matter Quiet
~ Until After EIection.

SUAu %tS0T ISVSSlVVs
Washington, Oct. 31.-Secretary of
State Lansing said today that the re-
ply of the British government on the
American protest against the British
blacklist" probably would not be
made public for several days."
This statement was taken on all sides
to confirm the previous information that
the state department does not intend to
make the matter public until after the
election. It Is we'll known, however,
that the blacklist" reply is an en-
phatic declaration that Britain reserves
the right to use the blacklist" when
ever and however it sees At as long as
that privilege directly concerns British
trade. This fact was made known some
time ago.
It is also well known that Britain. In
her reply, sets out that she will be glad
to consider separately cases In which
American firms assert an injustice has
been done and Judge these cases SOLE
" on their merits. This. Of course, IL .
concession that might be expected from
any power. AZ
Outside of these two main points the
contents Of the British reply can only
be guessed at.

Ablaincourt and on both sides of the

out, owing to our defensive fire.

These figures were announced last

committee.

In his report to Chairman Galpin Mr..
Hanberg says:
II herewith submit the results OF the
canvass made by the republican orga-
nizations Of the city wards.
"Basing my calculations on 90 per
cent Of the registry Of s08,000, which
would be 4s.35s. the distribution would
be as follows:

"That report from John Hanberg
means republicans will carry Cook
county by not less than $4,000" Chair

publican figures are too low.
add to this the $4,000 plurality we
expect for Hughes In the country towns
and we flnd that the republican lead in
Cook county Is going to be very close
to the 100 900 mark and the election Of
our entire ticket Is certain"
