is that the Democrats viii enter this election with the

generally easier to reflect party faction in power
than TO overturn the @ns" and install the @ous7 The
Democrats may be expected therefore, to poll rather
more than normal Democratic vote, and to win some
states that have often gone Republican in the past

CRITICIsES POLICE AND SCHOOLS
FL Paso. Tex. June II. 1916.
Editor FL Paso Herald:
FL Paso is from many points Of view,
as fine a city as any in the land. but It
has faults And the two places where
these faults lie most gIaringly are In
the police system and in the school sys-
tenn
But it is q good sign OF healthy
growth in approaching the status Of an
ideal city when just ana fair criticism
can alter conditions
Observation has shown that all that
the people OF FL PasO desire is to be
shown a fault and Il is soon remedied-
One OF the most powerful and influ-
entail forces for good is The FL Paso
Herald. This is shown BY the fact that
last year I wrote letter over the sig
nature "rhaddeus" and entitled. "Douse
the Headlights" and in less than 10
DAYS an ordinance was in effect against
that dangerous nuisance Of glazing
headlights.
That incident showed that when the
people become cognizant OF a sore spot
they know how to apply the cure
Now on account OF some criticisms.
unknown to the writer, the head OF the
police department is changed It is
probably for the improvement and bet
terment Of the department; but it can
be truthfully said that il the improve
nent under the new chief IS half as
great as the improvement which the
late chief made over the former admin
istration Of a year ago, the department
will be ideal
Many policemen and others believe
that efficiency is measured BY the num-
Der Of arrests made. Many arrests have
been made on the representation OF ire
sponsible parties The victim may stay
in jail three days or more before being
released Then IL is said. "Oh. they
couldn't do anything with him" OF
course Incarceration and the humiliation
Of being in prison is nothing. And the
prosecuting witness goes forth IN
scathed. although his charge was
grOundless- If accusers had to guaran-
tee costs, they would be more careful
about their accusations.
Then comes those two agents Of des-
potism- vagrancy" and suspicion"
Any one against whom some one has
a grudge or with whom a policeman
wants to swell his record OF arrests can
be charged with vagrancy or suspicion
These two charges are seldom booked
against crooks but frequently against
the unfortunate one who has little or no
money and no powerful friend.

er much larger than the Democratic vote. Ohio and
New York are very likely to go for Hughes, and Fair
hanks ought to swing over Indiana
IF Roosevelt had remained in the race, as the eand
date of third party, he could not have been elected
and the chance that he would have caused the defeat
of HUGHES would been considerably better than
even with Roosevelt out Of the way, the chances
swing rather markedly in the opposite direction and
things are now it looks if Hughes will win both
majority Of the popular vote and majority of the
electoral vote.
Nevertheless there is chance that adverse SEN
ate majority may embaIIass the Republican admins

some states elecng senators this year such that
Democratic senators might be elected though RepubI
can presidential electors be chosen. The Republicans
NAV be expected to exert the strongest efforts to avoid
this possibility, the senate at this time having S.
Democrats to 40 Republicans, and many Of the Demo
Gratis whose terms expire being sure Of reelection.
The Hughes nomination obviously distasteful to
all the old-ine bosSes" who exerted every effort to
prevent It; and Hughes made absolutely effort to
advance his own interests His conduct at all times was
exemplary and there can be not the slightest criticism
Justly directed against his candidacy though he resigned
from the supreme bench just before he accepted the
nomination.
The campaign will be clear cut, out and out fight

the Republicans and Progressives had nominated indie
