Snoozing in New Jersey.

The Presidential campaign now being waged
is furnishing numerous puzzles for political seers
and one of the most interesting of these is New
Jersey. The Republicans modestly declare that
Mr.. Hughes will carry New Jersey by between
$4,000 and $4,000 The Democrats assert that
President Wilson is certain to run ahead by TO-
600 or 10000.
Of course New Jersey normally is Republican
but Mr.. Wilson carried the State in 1910 and 1912
and it is listed the Presidents home State.
Apparently, the Republicans anticipated un-
usually hard fight in this State and made unusual
preparations. The result is that the Republican
campaign has been made with thoroughness and
vigor that has produced results.
This campaign was given an early start and
its first results were shown in the primaries. SEN
ator MARITIME, seeking denomination, polled 5oooI.
Judge Wescott, who was strongly supported by
President Wilson against MARITIME, polled 2oo77.
Because of the Presidents efforts to defeat MARITIME
these results had detrimental effect the Dem
ocratic campaign.
In the Republican primaries, Joseph Frelin-
ghuysen opposed to Franklin Murphy and
each of these men polled more than MARITIME and
Westcott combined Frenghuysen polled 8o,36I
and Murphy 8I48o. The total Republican vote
I87,4I4 and the total Democratic vote 49,
5I3. The borough of Princeton, where the Presi-
dent IS very well known, cast SIS RepuDlcan ana
only 262 Democratic votes. In this borough four
years ago, Mr.. Wilson got 1853 votes and the oppo-
sition 7o6. These results gave an impetus to the
Republican campaign that has been highly bene-
fetal, but the figures cannot be accepted an
accurate indication of the outcome November 7,
because of the many elements involved in the
primaries that largely absent in the Presi-
dental contest
The Newark Evening News, which is support
ing President Wilson, made this statement in a
recent editorial: $50 far the Democratic cam
paign has been a The Democratic organi-
zation so far has been pothering along apparently
doing little effective work. The Democrats are
handicapped by lack of funds. The Republicans
have all they want, and more"
This statement is being quoted as of the
most accurate summaries that has been made of
the Democratic situation in New Jersey. If the
statement is true and the Democrats asleep
at the switch, it may be we'll for Mr. Mccormick
perhaps Mr.. Tumulty to instruct the Demo-
cratic leaders in the State to get busy There are
two full weeks left for the final drive and wonders
may be accomplished in two weeks. Though the
trend may be toward Mr.. Wilson elsewhere as the
Democrats claim, Mr.. Wilson is going to need New
Jersey and need it bad on November T.

Probably in our remote rural districts the spirit
OF Thanksgiving in its original simplicity remains.
Farmers are closer to nature than we are in the
city They have good reason to be thankful if
their crops are success. They are like the New
England fathers in that respect and while in
these more prosperous days of agriculture one ex-
poets something more than scanty living from
the soil, the farmer we believe is devoutIv crate
full for the, good things in life He is indebted
really to the Maker for the sunshine that has
ripened his harvest, and for the rains that have
But city life is artificial The battle is not
so much with the forces of nature, but with
men. We expect more than we receive and feel
injured when we do not receive more We are
inclined to thank ourselves for our successes, or
to consider ourselves lucky when good fortune
comes our way. Thanksgiving for US is dav Of
feasting rather than of prayer. We dine at the
safe instead of around the family board at home
There is no blessing pronounced over the turkey.
We have lost our faculty for giving thanks.
Lest we forgetl We can at least make some
one less fortunate than ourselves thankful and in
doing SO may feel in some measure the snirit of
Thanksgiving. Cartoons Magazine

The O'Leary controversy is becoming an incl
dent rather than a casus belli That the President
OF the United States should fairly anathemize So
called hyphenated Americans and scorn their votes
at time when votes count for so much, NAV be
surprising but that political manager incurs liza
referring to man as "hyphenated American" IS
quite another matter Out of it all however, we
may obtain more definite meaning of the desig-
nation, and possibly it will not be employed in the
future with such calculated effects, especially in
political tmes.-Oakland Tribune

Russians can suffer and die as becomes great
people Perhaps this quality is passive in its ma
ture, but those who have witnessed the suffering
and death Of the Russian soldier at the front will
readily concede the possibilities latent in such a
nation-possibilities that will be realized at the
proper time when the fruit is ripe.
Our medical staff is composed mainly of men
recently wounded in actual fighting, but recovered
and sent to the front as hospital workers The
memories of their sufferngs are still fresh in their
minds, and this accounts perhaps for their splen-
did care of the wounded, irrespective of nation
alities: To them the wounded German or Aus
trlan is suffering comrade rather than an enemy.
But our men on the hospital force have one deep
experience; they have never met a more enduring
or braver patient the hospital cot than the Rus
sian soldier-Translated from Vyestnik Evropy for

For the sixth consecutive year the California

group, has come into power. 1t becomes the duty

safe bet that Joe will go back to
Omaha and the mayor. A Joke was
played on Butler that has stirred the
risibilities Of the Dahlmanites not
little.
When Butler left for the St. Louis
convention he bore letters of intro
duction to Roger Sullivan and Tom
Taggart as being "the leader OF the
democracy in Douglas county" Some
rude persons stole the letters and re-
turned them to Jim Dahlman. Over
the face OF one was written, this was
taken from a hobo, evidently forg-
cry" Over the other this sentence:
picked this up on the street, one
cannot be too careful with confident
ial letters"

The great bulk of the Dahlman
club will leave this evening for
Omaha. They have nothing but praise
OF the treatment accorded them by the
citizens Of St. Lohis and they wish
national convention would come
every year. There are others, how
ever, who wish the whole blamed con-
vention scheme Of nominating presi-
Dental candidates post-holded to

Exceedingly surprising was the
number of delegates from Nebraska
in their seats, when the convention
convened this morning. There were
thirteen OF the sixteen delegates in
their seats. On the question Of the
substitutes of the minority report on
woman suffrage, the Nebraska dele
gates voted solidly against the mo-
ton. This action was somewhat sur
prising to those on the inside, these
being reasons to believe that at least
three Of the Nebraska delegation
favor the minority report.
Frank w. Brown of the Kearney
Times, in speaking of the attitude Of
Colonel Bryan as outlined in his
speech Of last night, said: Il believe
that the settlement of the slight diff
ferences, which existed on the Ne

adjusted that it presages the enthusi-
astic support Of both supposed fac
tons for the whole ticket, state and
