THE BUSY sHIPYARDS.

Answering the claim that business has Deen
aided by the government shipping bill, MT.
Hughes said in a recent speech that this was
the kind Of aid which it did not seem to HIM
business could afford to have. He does not be-
lieve in putting the government into competl-
ton with private industry. That businessmen
do not believe in it was shown in protests sent
to Washington by commercial organizations IN
all parts of the country while the government
ownership measure was before congress. Long
before congress took final action, it was appar~
ent that government owned ships were not
needed. What was apparent then is absolute
ly clear now That private enterprise is DO
ing all that can be done with our present snip

made public by the federal department OF com

navigation, the private shipyards are making

1t will be many months before all the ships for
which orders have been placed can be COM
pleted. The government will have enough to
do in providing for the construction Of vessels
required to make the navy adequate without
attempting to compete with private firms and
in the carrying trade. The less
said in advocacy of the claims of the shipping
bill the better.

HOLLANDS APPEAL.

Holland has called upon the United States
through her public press to take the lead in
stopping the U-boat war. Are we to under
stand,' she asks, that America is going to
permit our ships to be torpedoed right on her
coast? Let America tell Germany that no more
mistakes will be tolerated. Let America speak
lest she rue in the future that she neglected
the task and duty expected from the mi ghtiest
neutral
Yet it seems doubtful if our government will
act. Our zeal for humanity is very largely
vocal and evapOrates in words. Secretary
Daniels lost no time in assuring the country
that the commerce raider which ran amuck al
Atlantic harhor mouths had acted with per
feet legality and propriety; and Admiral Dew
ey. president of the navy general board voices
the same view. Perhaps he felt constrained

FIvE-MINUTE SPEECHES.

The automobile has made difference in po-
litica campaigning in many ways. One is in
the character of the modern political address
Formerly a campaign orator was turned loose
on an innocent and unoffending audience for
a full hour. Rarely did he lack words to fill
that hour. Paucity of ideas was, however,
quite common. Of course the speaker could
tell stories by the yard, most Of which had no
application to the subject. Usually they would
fit one party as well as another. If he was Of
serious bent, the campaign text books and
speeches supplied plenty of cribbed material.
A large part Of the spelbinders go out today
in groups as passengers in automobiles. They
make perhaps ten to twenty-five stops a day. If
they give half an hour to place, it is of I'M
usual size. That may leave but five minutes
for each one to speak. He must be a master
in the art of condensation.
If you listen to political speech and do not
own an automobile, be joyful long as the
political campaign is on. The "machine' -
has, in this instance, saved you time; it has
reduced presentation Of argument to the level
where all may listen and find that valuable
time has not been wasted.

Dear Sir: Yours of the gath IN
slant addressed to the attorney gen.
eral has been referred to me for re-
DIV. According to your letter, there
was no nomination at the primary
for the reason that neither of the
candidates received as many as five
votes. the minimum required by sec
ton 1OS7-a19, supplement to the code,
1913. The primary law provides no
method for making a nomination In
such cases by convention of the dele
gates from that portion of the
county comprising the district
from which the officer is to be
elected. Hence. any action taken
by the county convention seek
ing to empower the committeeman
to make such nomination was OF no
effect. Neither has said committee
the power to make such nomination
because of any supposed vacancy In
the nomination. for our supreme
court has held that there cannot be
a vacancy in nomination until there
has been a nomination and that the
committee has no power to MAKE
such nomination in the first instance.
See Elk rel Pratt v. Hayward, 1419
Ia, 1876.
Hence, it follows that the nomina-
tons certified as candidates for JUS !
tees Of the peace and for con-
stables are not entitled to appear on
the ballot. The only proper way Is
to leave blank lines enabling the
voters to write in the persons of
their choice for each of such Offices. |
Yours truly,

his managers planned the Brooklyn
address as the candidates final "big
speech OF the campaign--it will be
circulated wholesale in the few days

The portions of his speech evokins
the greatest enthusiasm from the
Brooklyn audience were relative to
the protection of American lives and
property at sea and abroad and pre-
paredness.

election.
