A Buckeye Boss.

George b. Cox, dead at his home in
Cincinnati, was the Boss Cox Of much
local success and of national celebrity.
He was a born leader of the rough ele-
ment in politics, and became a great
force with the higher element. He never
apologized for either his company or
his performances. and wore his title as
a priced badge. He was boss, and proud
of his title and power.
He began, as others of his kind have
done, in a barreom. His "plaee" was
orderly, and his word good. If neces-
sary, he would enforce commands with
his fists. This gave him consequence in
his neighborbood, and insured pros
perity and advancement.
From the barroom to politics was but
a step. As others of his kind have done,
he took it naturally. And the qualities
which had won in his first occupation
won now in his second. His word was
good. His followers relied upon him I'm
plisitly. His opponents nsvsr doubted

The Hughes Boom.

Not the Oregon result alone is the lat
the Hughes BOOM That result demon
strates a good deal. There was no
Hughes organization. There was no au-
thority even for the use of Justice
Hughes name. He had refused that
But, without organization or authority,
the Hughes men were so numerous and
determined they carried the primary

ordinary methods of political cam
paigning.
1t is to be noted. too, that Oregon
follows 1ermont-another state where

states. SO that on both the Atlantic
and the Pacific slopes popular senti
ment. expressing itself without spur or
manipulation, shows the same thing. And
between the two slopes-in the middle
country-the Hughes boom is booming.
But another significant thing is the
appearance of roorbacks in the closing
days Of the contest, all anti Hughes in
conception and purpose. Now we are
told-no authority given-that Justice
Hughes Will not accept if nominated.
Now we are told-no authority given
that he is expecting and predicting the
nomination of Mr.. Roosevelt. Now we
are told-no poll given-that there are
not half a dozen Hughes men in the
New York delegation to Chicago.
These tactics, of course, show great
uneasiness in anti-Hughes circles. They
are the signs of what may swell in a
day into panic. They are no less plain
ly anti-Hughes than pro-Roosevelt. The
Rooseveltians seem to feel that if they
are to succeed they must dispose of JUS
tiee Hughes first. They recognize in
him today their foremost adversary.
In democratic circles Mr.. Roosevelt
continues the favorite for the Chicago
nomination. He looks "good"-mighty
"good"-to those who remember with
gratitude his services to the democratic
party in 1912. They would like Of all
things-esteem themselves most fortu-

lily continuing their advance and are
now approaching Mosul, about 225 miles
northwest of Bagdad, with the evident
design of cutting the Bagdad railway,
upon which the Turks operating in the
Tigris valley depend for supplies. They
are also reported to have sent cavalry
column south to connect with the British
near kut-El- Amara. A continued Rus
sian advance in that direction Is
likely to force Turkish retreat
northward, more SO, in fact, than
the reported Turkish success east of
Erzignan is calculated to force Rus
sian retreat from Trebizond or Bitlis,
in the Armenian campaign.
If this war we're being conducted I'M
der conditions prevalent century ago
the Turkish position in the Tigris valley
would not be necessarily imperiled by
the advance on MosuI. The change in
war materials, however, greatly affects
the strategy. Transport is now far more
important than it was in earlier days.
Without the use of the railway for the
movement of large supplies of munitions
the Turks operating in the Tigris valley
would be at serious disadvantage. Not
withstanding the British surrender at
Kut- tel Amara there is a considerable
pressure on the Turkish lines near Bag
dad from the south and the supply prob
lem for the British is not especially
difficult, with water transport as far as
the head of the Persian gulf. If the
railway north of Bagdad is captured the
Turks will have no base of supplies
within practicable range. 1t is long
way from the scene of the Mesopota-
mian and Armenian operations to Con-
stantinople, which lies about $50 miles
northwest of Mosul by air line, and it
the Russians should continue their ad-
vance much fighting is in prospect over
the rugged territory of Asia Minor. At
present it would appear that the Rus
sian expedition has a political rather
than a military motive, with Basdad as
an objective.
