TUESDAY. OCTOBER %, 1919.
NEXT TUESDAYS ELECTIONS.

Several state elections will be held
one week from today at which time
Republican and Democratic tickets will
contest for victory. So far as we have
noticed there is no third party making
an effort to get into Office, rather uu-
usual situation. Another feature is the
lack of party issues in the various
states. Little has been said of the Re-
publican or Democratic parties as such.
In some eases there is a larger issue
than party, really national in its scope,
the issue of the supremacy of law and
organized government against radical
ideas which would override the law in
the interests of a selfish minority.
In New Jersey, for example, the Dem
ocratic party has declared against ma
tional prohibition and against the en-
foreement of the law when it takes eff
feet. The Republican party has not
declared for or against prohibition but
has pledged itself to enforce the law,
whatever it is. 1t is not probable the
people of that state will hold strictly
to party lines in their vote. There must
be many Democrats who will never en-
dorse the defiance of national law by
the state. On the other hand there
are probably some Republicans so OPP
posed to prohibition they will vote with
4 bo hot 10,
from such law, rat err than vote with
their party. So inst lad of a Republi-
can and Democratic victory in New
Jersey we look for verdict for or
against the observance of law.

An article in the New York Times of

food administrator of the city has sue
