POLITICAL OBSERVATIONS.

4 voice from the West. Never
Lissner OF California, one Of the
big guns OF the old Progressive par
tv. now in the East for the purpose
OF furthering TIE candidacy OF Sen
ator Hiram Johnson for the Repub-
lican nomination for president, says:
"Speaking a. a Republican, | want
to say that the party cannot win
in 1920 unless it has the West. The
West is thoroughly progressive, and
the Republican party cannot hope
for success unless it too become
progressive. No candidate who

Annual elections for governor
and other state officials have been
held in Massachusetts for nearly
800 wears and that state is now the
only one where annual elections are
kept. The constitutional conven-
ton recently adjourned submitted 4
proposition for a change from an
nual to biennial elections, but the
proposition isn't well received by
the people and it is regarded as GER
tain that it will be defeated at the
November election. Even some OF
the members of the constitutional
convention who voted for the "drat-
ted thing" now declare they intend
to vote in November for its rejec-
ton.
Republican party leaders in Mis-
surf are beginning to make predic-
tons. One oi these is that Judge
Spencer the party'S nominee Tor
United States senator, will defeat
Joseph W. Folk, the Democratic
nominee. by a majority anywhere
from $1,000 to $4,000 Another is
that the house OF the next general
assembly will be Republican.
New Jersey women suffered
great shock when Senator David
Baird voted against the woman sui

ent is Charles O'Connor HeneSsy,
