GEN. WOOD AND THE FOLKS.

A significant feature of the primary
elections in the various states, so far
as the Republican contest is concern
ed, is the strength of General Wood
with the folks at home" In New
Jersey Wood carried the State by the
vote from the country places He ran
second in Newark and the industrial
centers where the ratical vote pre-
vailed. AS the returns from the small
towns and rural precincts came he
forged ahead, and it was this vote that
gave him the state
In Michigan, General Wood lost the
state on the strength OF the radical
vote cast against him in Detroit, a
radical center Outside of Detroit
General Wood carried the state, and i,
but for the big blizzard that swept the
state the day before the primary cleo
ton, almost eliminating the farm vote,
there would have been a different
story for final results from Michigan
In South Dakota it was the vote of
the farm communities and the small
towns that gave General Wood his
victory in the state.
In Minnesota, Wood lost Mime
apolis, where the radical vote was cast
against him, but in the country pre-
cincts the opposition was hardly in
evidence. The vote of the rural places
gave him the state by big majority.
In Chicago alone, of all the indus
trial centers dominated by the rad
ical vote, did the General make a
showing, and in Nebraska alone did he
fail to carry the country vote. and
there the radical element represented
by the Partisan League, voted
against him.
An analysis of the primary election
returns reveal the fact that General
Wood stands first in the hearts Of that
sane progressive vote represented by
the rank and file of the Republican
party. 1t is the vote that comes from
the small town and country places,
where sentiment is not controlled by
organization, or prejudice or inspired
by impassioned appeal. 1t is the vote
which represents "the folks" and, if
the politicians will study the history
of American politics, they will find
that after all, it is this vote that elects
presidents. 1t is not the first returns
from the big industrial centers that
determine the election, but the returns
that are a little slow in Coming in"
because they are from the farming
precincts and outlying towns. The
election returns from these precincts
are the returns from the vote cast by
the great body Of American citizens
who make up their minds and deter
mine their votes around the fireside of
their own homes, and in discussions
with their own neighbors, and they are
not told how to cast their ballots by q
political boss, or directed by the or
ders Of any organization. They are
Just folks" In the final count it is
the returns from the county places
that determine the results in the G.
lectorial college.

NEW ROAD BOARD TO FACE
LARGELY INCREASED COSTS
There Is Available A Fund OF S3,OOO,-
900 And Building Work Is Tripled.

When the new State Roads Com
mission to be appointed by Govern
or Richie goes into Office it will be
faced with the problem of building
roads on 100000 appropriation st
cost per mile that is almost three
times as much as in 1913.
According to figures and estimates
made by engineers under the present
State Roads Commission headed by
Chairman Zouck, the cost of labor and
material has jumped so rapidly that
if the total of the $4,000, 900 appropri-
alton were to be spent in actual build
ing this year, only $3.50 miles of con-
crete road could be made. Compare
this with the 1918 figures, which show
that 1929 miles could be constructed.
and it can be seen what a problem the
new board will face.
Chairman Zouck's engineers figure
that the total cost to build mile of
concrete road Is feet wide and on an
average thickness of seven inches will
be $32, 475.63. In 1913 this same mile
cost $12,880.80. The figures show
that labor has jumped twice as much
as materials.
The $1.50 a-day laborer who put in
III hours is thing of the past. He
now demands 81 a day, while the
Glass A" laborer, who formerly got
81 day, now demands $3.50 a day.
Among the cost items, the biggest
jump has been made in the prices of
double team trucks. The truck that
hired in 1913 for 81 day cannot be
had for less than $14 day now, the
engineers say
The state is at practically the be-
ginning of l0-year program of road
building, with total appropriation
from the State and the Federal Gov
eminent amounting to a little more
than S3,000,000. The present com
mission is giving out no contracts,
and will not do so, because a new
commission will be appointed very
soon.
However, there are rs miles of road
now under construction. This unfin-
ished program, carried on under the
eXorbltant 1920 costs, will probably
not be completed before the end of
the summer. Therefore, it can ge seen
what problem the Commission will
have to face to make the appropria-
lions meet new demands. Upkeep of
the roads. which costs in the same
proportion, comes from the automo-
bile licenses and fines.

ELECTION OF DIR. STEPHENS OFF
State Board OF Education Reconsiders
Its Recent Action.

The skies are again clear in the
State Board of Education, the board
on Monday resembling its reelection
OF DIR. Bates Stephens as superinten-
dent of public instruction a week ago.
Clouds hung ominously, however, for
an hour or two in the private office of
Governor Richie at Annapolis where
ne discussed the whole situation with
the State School Commissioners.
The Governor opened the discussion
by declaring that he did not believe
any dlscouItesy was intended by the
board, Of which is ex-officio presi-
dent, in holding a meeting without in
wiling him to attend. In view Of the
fact that only three members of the
board-Messrs. Warburtan. Purnell
and Galt-will continue as members.
and as they do not constitute ma
g-.I.y, -e ,lcugat il unfair 70 Dr.
Stephens, 10 the School Board and TO
the state administration that the cleo
ton should be finally accepted. He
thought it only just to Dr. Stephens
that he should be elected by a majority
Of the board at a full attendance.
Mr. Gait accepted this view and took
the first step looking to the reconsid-
Grafton of the action of the board by
presenting the following resolution:
'Be it resolved, That the action of
the State Board of Education, at its
meeting on April IS, 1920, in electing
DR.. NJ Bates Stephens as state su-
perintendent of schools for a term of
four years from the expiration of his
present term of office be and the same
is hereby rescinded and revoked; and
the action of the board at the said
meeting in adopting a bylaw fixing
the time for the election of said super
intendent be and the same is hereby
recinded and revoked, to the end that
all the members of the new Board of
Education may have an opportunity to
express their views on these matters. !"
Mr. Gait and Mr.. Fitzhugh voted for
the resolution. the latter declaring
that he had not voted for DR.. Stephens
last week Mr. Warburton and Mr.
Purnell declined TO vote declaring that
their former action in which they kere
Joined by Mr. Hook, whose term has
expired was fully justified, hence they
declared they could not see their way
clear to recall their action. This state
ment aroused the Governor, who in
formed them that in view of the cir
cumstances of DR.. Stephens election
and with view to starting the new
School Board along right lines he
would be compelled to ask for their
designations, and if they were not
Forthcoming he would proceed to file
charges against them.
Mr.. Warburton and Mr.. Purnell still
remain obdurate. After a heart-to-
heart talk between themselves they
came to the conclusion that absence of
friction in the board was far more es-
sential to the school system then their
personal views. They then joined in
voting for Mr. Galt's resolution and
the incident was closed
The board also reclined the spe-
cial bylaw with which DR.. Stephens
election was made possible.
The general opinion among the
members of the board is that DIR.
Stephens will be reelected cn the ex-
piration Of his term in few weeks.

William Jennings Bryan is out in
a statement taking another wallop at
the administrations uncompromising
stand on the peace treaty and the
league of nations. He calls attention
of democrats to the Georgia primar-
les where he says "less than one-third
of the Democrats stood for the treaty
without reservations" and he holds
these ought to be a warning. "In
Nebraska adds Mr.. Bryan, Senator
Hitchcock's vote would not have been
worth counting had he been compelled
to rely on those who endorsed his at
titude on the treaty"

get very far.
