After passing the house by an almost

such fair sailing IN the upper branch of

feated IN the senate last year b. the com

Another Sulzer Case?
or Of The Tribnnc.

TO the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: sec by your paper that the bosses
arc after Governor Brumbaugh because he
failed 10 account for all the money he re-
ceived in his campaign. This looks like an
other Sulzer case. When the bosses in the
state Of New York found out that they could
not use Governor Sulzer they framed him IN
by saying that his campaign statement was
erroneous.
II every man in public Office could be
removed because his campaign statement was
erroneous there would be few men in the
United States now holding jobs The Tribune
should denounce this fight on the Governor
OF Pennsylvania and tell the Republican
bosses there that If they remove the Re-
publican Governor Pennsylvania will go Dem
ocratic' just as New York will go Republi-
can for years to come because of the removal
Of Governor Sulzer. JAMES NORDON

Keep Business Of 5th Ave.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir ! am glad to note in to-day's issue of
The Tribune letter signed "Old New York
er" protesting against the present condition
OF Fifth Avenue owing 10 the huge business
trucks which are now using the avenue al
most exclusively and crowding out the car
riages and automobiles and disturbing pleas
ure-seeking pedestrians with their deafening
roar, bang and rattle.
Upper Fifth Avenue ought TO be pleasure
thoroughfare, but the business trucks make
such a noise that | for one now prefer
Park Avenue for a quiet walk
As TO the noise at night, it is dreadful, and
though | do not live on the avenue, but on
a side street. the thunder Of trucks and drays
reaches me well into the small hours. think
upper Fifth Avenue residents deserve TO be
let of paying taxes until this intolerable
nuisance is ended. Surely New York can have
one quiet and elegant avenue kept for pleas
Ure and recreation, and am glad TO see
q great and public spirited paper like The
Tribune take the matter up. If only you
would give the subject little publicity in
your columns it would lead to a law being
passed forbdding heavy business trucks
using Fifth Avenue at all and thus save this
beautiful street for the recreation of New
Workers. J. W. CLARK.

BIGGER THAN PARTY
Americanism Next Elections lssue-The
Choice Between Wilson and Roosevelt.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The Republican organization IS ear
nestly considering its coming work at Chi
cago
In that deliberstion the leaders should
think first Of their country and afterward OF
tbcir marty. otherwise they will have FOL
lowed distress By suicide.
A. the hands Of Theodore Roosevelt the
Republican party suffered the most humilist-
ING disaster it had ever experienced.
Even before this calamity his personal poll
cies transcribed the traditional party prln-
ciples and placed them in jeopardy.
The schism he produced after the last con
von,ion was rather climax than event
If he again obtains control of the party
DESTINY he is certain to renew-though, 1T is
hoped. more wisey-the breaking Of party
restraints
But the issue Of the next election is greater
than the Republican party.
II is neither Republican, Democratic nor
Progressive. Demanding the best in all these
and united allegiance, it is Americanism.
By Americanism is here meant the stake
and resource of the American nation its mis-
sion. its heritage, its duty and method for
self-protecton against the world.
There is a self-protection by means OF
7 leasant rhetoric. by appealing sentimental
ties, by unfounded optimism, by mean eva
sions. by cowardice and by sloth
There is another by rugged words, hard
facts. willingness to face the truth and hon
est spirit to meet its obligations with bravery
and sacrifice.
There is Woodrow Wilson and a Theo-
dorc Roosevelt.
This is the popular understanding. II is
the only concrete point of difference which
can be reflected in the November election.
With what logic can anything else dictate
Republican decisions at the June convention
