MIR. FRAZIER REPLIES.

Mr.. Frazier, league candidate for
governor. says he is willing to stand
up. but instead of doing SO. he imi-
tates the nervous individual who
bitches forward on the edge of his
chair. Mr.. Frazier says that he has
neither signed any pledge or made any
promise as to what he will do If he is
elected governor of the state, and that
II he is elected he will be free to use
his best judgment to. promote the
welfare of all the people Of the state.
Very we'll. As to the rest Of the
questions asked. Mr.. Frazier is silent.
He does not express any opinion as to
the propriety Of the pledging Of can.
didates. Nor does he say whether or
not he is willing. to pledge himself
The publication Of the pledge which
was for a time used as the basis of
action by the Big Five caused anoth-
er revision Of the text. and the Non
partisan Leader denies that a pledge
such as that published in several of
the state papers was used. We would
not believe the Leader under oath
and it is a fact that the pledge, az
published. was in use until its form
was amended as stated. But the Lead
er itself publishes form Of pledge
which it says has been signed volun-
tarily by many Of the candidates en-
dorsed.
Now. If Mr. Frazier will kindly
sf and IN n 1n;, for a ,,,ovooot Vat h;r,
say whether. no matter whether he
has signed that pledge or not, the
form Of pledge published in the Lead
er correctly sets forth his attitude.
In other words. Mr.. Frazier, do you
or do you not endorse the platform
of the Non-partisan league Of which,
1T Is understood, you are a member,
and whose endorsement you have ac-
cepted?

the assumption that he 10 actually .
candidate. Whether or not this view
is the correct one We have no eM-
dence. Justice Hughes IL sayins
nothing. ."~ =
If Hughes is really candidate.
his silence has its elements Of both
strength and weakness. In addition
to the fact that Hughes 10 very gener-
ally respected, the growth of the
movement for his nomination rests on
the fact that he has not been par
tisan in any of the things which have
created division in the ranks Of the
Republican party. Men of almost all
shades of opinion, radicals con-
servatives friends Of the Old Guard.
and members Of all sorts of newer
combinations which have been form
ed. have been able to look with fav-
or on Hughes as on a man who has
taken no position In opposition to
their own. This is true Of those who
hold diametrically opposite opinions
on the subject of first Importance
now before the country. that Of pre-
pardness. and. intimately associated
with 1t. that Of our foreign relations.
That has tended to the growth Of q
Hughes boom.
But this position also has it's dis
advantages. II Hughes should he
nominated, either before or after that
event. he must declare himself on
the subjects which are uppermost in
the public mind. And when he does
declare himself. lot Of people will
be disappointed. That was the case
with Judge Parker. Until he de-
clared himself he was quite a popular
man. When he did declare himself
his popularity slumped. So, it az
pears, may be the experience of
Hughes. And he is placed. where he
cannot speak out II he wishes to do
