THE LIEUTENA GOVERNORSHIP

IHE bIEt TEN ANT-GOt EItNONSHIP
Former Senator Roger w. Hulburd
thus announces HE candidacy for the re-
governorshp. We have already printed
and discussed the appealing features of
the announcement of Judge Weeks.
This statement by Mr.. Hulburd is
thoroughly Characteristic OF the man.
1t Is written precisely as Roger talks.
There is a tinge of patriotic sentiment
warns the cookies of the heart. When
you read it you stand up little
straighter or sit more erect in your
chair. You are likely to say, Those are
my sentiments"
Mr.. Hulburd strikes n responsive chord
when he says he will mot be embar-
raised by a gnawing hunger for further
political preferment," if made lieutenant
governor of Vermont. If he is made
Senate, the people of Vermont will be
veXed by no struggle to revive the pro
motion rule by which men formerly
selected for second place on the State
ticket were thereby slated to become
governor two years later on. That senti-
ment will appeal to host of people
Mr.. Hulburd's voice has become 50
familiar to the people Of the whole State
in eloquent appeal for others that some
people may be surprised to learn that
he has never yet asked or received from
the State as a whole election to a State
office at the hands Of the voters He
has stood back and helped others This
is his first appeal for recognition at the
hands of the republicans Of Vermont as
a whole. That fact will also add
strength to n candidacy which has varied
attractive features
Mr.. Hulburd is easily one Of the most
eloquent public speakers in Vermont
He would add dignity to the office OF,
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and by his ability as
a presiding officer in the Senate facili-
tate the despatch of public business.
He has host of admirers throughout
the State and with mo entanglng ALI
ances,' and mo master but his state"
he would unquestionably make a most
acceptable and efficient lieutenant
governor

NEW YORK STRIKE A MYTH

The people of New York City may think that they are in the midst
New York World.
We know there is not, because we have been reading Mr.. Hughes
speeches attacking President Wills on and the Esht-Hour law.
Mr.. Hughes proved conclusiyely that if the president "had stood
firmly for the principles OF arbitration as the railroad presidents de-
manded, there would have been no general railroad strike. 1t follows,
We have a Republican Publ: Service commission appointed by a
Republican governor under a Public Service law drafted by Charles E
Hughes himself In consequence, we are as near the millennium as fai-
bic human beings an expect to be.
This Public Service commissi n talks about arbitration from nor
till night. 1t has UNNECESSARILY more power v the traction companies
the railroads and the brotherhools, for he had II 10 legal power at all
1t is uncomfortable that there could be a traction strike under such benev-
olent Hughes auspices. What the people of New York regard as a tnc-
ton strike is something else, because Mr.. Hughes has proved that a
strike cannot happen except through Wi1sonan tmidiy and vacllaton.
1t is true that the surface crs are not running that the elevated ser
heavy business losses and no little disorder. 1t is tre also that condi
tons are getting worse rather thar better, but there is n o strike.
We have read Mr.. Hughes speeches and know that a strike cannot
possibly take place when government. remains "frm,' as Republican gov
eminent always does.
1t follows, then, that the marlborough did not refuse to arbnrae
the master and servant" contracts, that the employees Of the Third Ave
III line did not break their agreement with the company, that neither
the traction interests the union leaders wanted a strike and that the
Federation of Labor has not meddled with the situation. Mr. Hughes
speeches demonstrate that there is not al industrial. cloud on New York
Cityis horizon.

x COMING BACK

The Appeal is in receipt of the first number of the Mexican Magazine,
published at Washington, and edited by George F. Weeks, a former Cal
iforna newspaperman, who went to Mexico several years ago and lived
there until a short time ago.
Throughout the Magazine is interesting, for it shows that a differ
ent condition of affairs exists in the southern republic than w e to the
north have any idea Of; it is coming back and is coming back fast. New
land laws have been put INTO effect and because of their benehCence
thousands are going back to the soil; the customs statements indicate
that a great deal OF money is coming gin from that source and it Is all
being turned into the national treasury at Mexico City. On the greater
number of big land concessions, which heretofore escaped taxation, a tax
has been placed equivalent to what would have been just had the land
been in a productive state. This has forced many of the concession
aires to forfeit title. According to the Magazine order has been prac-
ticany restored everywhere in the republic except in the northern ex-
tremty, and this, as W know, is being rapidly settled.
the government and should set at res the statement that the United
States is being beseiged for a loan or that this country will be asked
to guarantee a loan. First, there is II o occasion for it, for the debt of
%00NOO0O which was created by the revolution has already been re-
taxes and customs receipts and raid off in a few years; and. secondly,
the constitution of Mexico provides that congress is the only body that
has power to call Oh negotiate a loan, and as Mexico at the present time
is without a congress-, the republic being governed altogether by the
All through its pages the Magazine imparts an air of optimism and
gives the reader the impression tlt matters down there re not half as
bad as colored and that within a few years Mexico will have risen from
its ashes and take place with such republics as Brazil and Argentina.

The Democratic convention at its session in Reno September 5th
failed either by accident or design to insert, as a the hope of Demo-
Gratis all c the state, a plank in the platform demanding a statewide
primary law. However, the omission "a there, but not to be thwarted
in what they believed was a public demand, the different counties through
tut the state, or a majority Oft them, have placed a plank in their plat
forms demanding a progressive primary law and committing their legEs-
lauve candidates to- the enactment of one. The Democratic convention
in this county adopted a strong plank, a will be seen by reference to
the platform in another column, but the Esmeralda county convention
went a step Or two farther and adopted a plank suggesting a primary
law that has the tre ring to it and ne that will receive the endorse
men of real Democrats all over the state. 1t reads as follows:
I'VE earnestly recommend to our coming legislature, and especially
the members elected from this county thereto, a repeal OF the present
primary election law, which has proved a step backwards and in no wise
satisfactory to the people of this county as a LEI of choosing its
candidates for state, county and township Offices, and w demand the
immediate passage of 4 primary election law that will provide for a.
direct vote of the people in making selection or nomination of any and
all candidates for public office in this state; with provision therein con-
tanned, that when n candidate at such primary election shall receive
a majority of the votesc cast for any office, he shall be declared duly
elected to such office by such vote without further action VI vote at any
election whatever"
