Party Regularity.

Among the questions figuring in the
New York campaign this year is that
Of party regularity. Gov. Whitman is
encountering it, and, later, democratic
aspirants for the gubernatorial nomipa-
tion will face it.
1t will be remembered that man of
tho name Of Bennett ran last year as the
republican candidate for mayor of New
York. He had been regularly nominated,
though by a very small vote Many re-
publicans voted against him in the pri-
maries, in the belief that his candidacy
was unwise; that the proper course was
for the party to support Mr.. Mitchell.
Some of these men refused him support
after his nomination, on the proposition
that as he had no chance of election
votes for him would be thrown away.
Gov. Whitman took this position.
Mr.. Bennett turns up now as an op-
ponent of Gov. Whitman for a third
nomination. and quotes the latter's at
titude in the mayoralty race in support
of contention that he is not a good
party man. Moreover, Mr.. Bennett pre-
diets that if renominated the governor
will be defeated; that his irregularity
last year will nullify his claim to regu-
lar support this year; that in repudiat-
ing his, Benefits, candidacy for mayor
he put himself outside the party pale.
Mr.. Bennett has but small following
in the city, and mono at all upstate, but
the democrats will use his complaint
against Gov. Whitman when the time
comes for any limited value it may
have.
This, necessarily, will oblige them to
watch their step in making their own
nomination. Their candidate should be
"sourd on the goose" for it Motif he
should be open to the charge Of irregu-
larity-if at any time he had jumped
the fence, either in primary, or later
the democrats would lose the effect of
the Bennett complaint against Gov.
Whitman. If their man were tarred
with that stick they could hardly criti-
else that sort of marking.
As things turned out, Mr.. Bennett
could not have been elected mayor even
if he had received the united republican
support. 1t was Iammany year. The
town had wearied of reform-or rather
of those who had been put in Office as
reformers. There was deep and wide
spread disappointment at results. So
back came Tammany, with a humping
majority to show for the campaign it
had made, and for the campaign and
other blunders the opposition had made.
But Mr.. Bennett is still sore, and will
try, first at the primaries and maybe
later, to "take it out of" Gov. Whitman.

POLITICS At HOME
Another Bidder for Favor.

Another Bidder for Favor.
A new party, organised last year with
q platform Of principles, is preparing
to take the field. It calls itself the ma
tional party, and it win hold . national
conference or convention in Chicago
March 6. This is from a program just
published:
ut Will undoubtedly declare for war
prohibition and for the democratic
financing of the war by rigorous taxa,
ton Of incomes, excess profits and land
values. It will probably emphasize the
public ownership plank and demand that
there shall he no return to private own.
ership Of railroads. Public ownership OF
mines and all the steel and iron indus
try will he insisted upon ~ corollary
to public ownership Of railroads. It is
probable the new platform will throw
much greater emphasis upon the plank
demanding that all members Of the cabi-
net should have seats in Congress, but
without votes and subject to interpella-
ton by Congress"
The leaders Of this party are gathered
from many sources. Former democrats,
former republicans, former socialists,
former prohibitionists, former laborites
touch shoulders in the organization.
How numerous they arc remains to be
seen.
The advance apaper" shows that they
play the game according to rule. Their
claims are tail. They see revolution in
national policies coming, and their de-
clared purpose is to control develop
ments in the interests Of all.
They will flesh their maiden swords IN
the battle for the new Congress, and, as
spoil, have set apart for themselves two
or three senatorships and at least TWEEN
ty-five seats in the House. With this
start they will turn their attention to
1920, when they see themselves "sweep-
ing the country"
These times are inviting to men har-
boring new schemes Of government. This
old order is breaking up-at any rate,
undergoing notifications. New goals
are being sought and expeditions organ
lied. AL arc free to terminate old al
liances, and form new ones. Many men
are likely to avail themselves Of the op-
portunity. There is much unrest, and
some of it is growing.
It is to be assumed that the leaders
Of the two old parties are fully alive
to the situation. Never have heavier
duties devolved upon them, and never
have stronger calls been made upon
them to get. and to stay, busy. Work in
abundance faces them.
In the presence Of these things any
renewal Of factionism among either re-
publicans or democrats would be dan
gerous politics. A result NEXT Novem-
Der which should show breach in the
old organizations giving promise Of
even a greater breach two years hence
would be interpreted both at home and
abroad as a portent Of national embar-
rassment Of the gravest character, and
maybe Of disaster. For upon neither a
socialist victory nor a national party
victory could any safe calculation for
the future be founded. Nearly anything
might follow, and many men would be
tempted to fear the worst.

War Work by the
Census Bureau.


census has been of inestimable value
during the past months.
Experts Of the bureau prepared the
estimates of population for use in con-
nection with the registration Of men
subject to military duty and the ap-
portionment of the draft. The first
set of these estimates was prepared in
May of last year for use in apportion-
ing supplies of registration cards to
the various counties and cities; and
the second set, prepared late in June,
was based on the registration and was
intended solely for use in the appor-
tionment of the draft among the states
and their subdivisions.
In making the latter estimates, the
census bureau was confronted by the
necessity of securing the greatest pos
sible measure of justice for each COM
munity. The method adopted. there
fore, was based on the assumption that
the registrants in each community rep
resented a fixed proportion of the pop
ulatfon. This proportion for the Unit
to be equal to 9.32 per cent, and the
population estimates for the various
states, cities and counties we're there
fore comp ed by dividing the number
of registrants by 0.0932. This method
yielded the fairest possible basis for
the apportionment. of the draft, since
the localities whose population was
overestimated were those in which
there was an excess of men twenty-one
calities whose populations were under
estimated were those in which the pro-
portions OF men of these ages were
smaller than the average.

Germany's amazement at the rapid
transport of the American army and
its fighting strength on the Western
front is going to grow from now on.
The interesting thing is that the
size of the army we are going to raise
is not dependent on what we think
will sbe aenough 1neetsth needs sof
the situation on the Western front
this year and next, but the largest
force that it is humanity possible to
raise.
All Limits To Be Extended
The maximum effort, Mr. Baker be-
lieves, will beat Germany, and there
fore when Congress reconvenes it will
find itself confronted with the high
est figures in troops that can be
transported and supplied on the other
side.
To get more men it is going to be
necessary to extend the present age
limits Congress must ratify the de-
cision Of the War department but it
may be taken for granted that the
limits will be extended both below 21
and above 81.
Below 81, there will be unquestion-
ably a system of universal training
