at all. If there Is to be publicity
and primaries it does not appear
how anything like contact can be
established with political organiza-
tions with 100000 members for
less than 10 cents apiece, and 10
cents apiece would be 81, 200, 900 for
the country. Unless the practice of
charging admissions to political meet
ings is established how is the money
to be raised? Some one must pay
for hall rent and lights, for travel
ing expenses and clerk hire. 1t now
costs approximately $4,000 to send
one circular to each of New York
City's voters.
Rst during the heat of a pre-con-
vention canvass is obviously no
time to consider what is to be done.
Inevitably at such time dema-
gogy comes to the front and rival
factionists endeavor to use the in
vestigation to hit another fellow be-
low the belt. The public, there is
reason to believe, fully understands
the animus Of the inquiry which is
now staged and is not of the
opinion that a sincere desire to
clean up inspires it.

Eyes on Vermont

Once again opportunity knocks on
the door of Governor Clement of
Vermont. The Republican State Con.
vention renews the demand of his
party that he call the State Legis-
lature in special session to consider
the Federal suffrage amendment
1t is seldom that so large a ma
tional issue hangs upon the act of
one Governor. Small wonder that
women the country over are learning
Governor Clements name and fixing
their eyes on Vermont as the last
Republican state which is at all
likely to ratify suffrage soon.
We do not suppose that Cover
nor Clement will be moved by this
national interest or the glory in
volved. He should not be. His dutv
IN the premises is first of all to
the people of this state and his own
conscience. But as the delegations
Oh women, and now the Republican
State Convention, have made clear,
the wishes of his state are for a spe-
clal session and the ratification Of
the amendment. Local obligation to
agrees with the national
demand. Is, .,g7M
Governor Clement has shown
every readiness to listen to the
petltloning women. He will unques-
tionably give careful consideration
to this appeal from his party con-
vention. He is known as man of
courage and independence, a Yer
monter Of the old school, which Is to
say, a.patriot of hard sense and

that he is the first choice In more states
than any other candidate. He is bound
to win if nominated.
The machine" politicians who are
primarily concerned with party sue
cess are not blind to the fact that
Hoover would be able not merely to
win victory this year, but by his great
constructive leadership to help rehabil-
itate the Republican party in popular
esteem for long period of years. They
are not blind to the fact that there is
an immense independent vote that can
not be permanently classified. They
know that the vote of the women this
year may be decisive. The party lead
ers want candidate who will make the
strongest appeal to this great mass of
unclassified voters.
Nor should one assume that the INA
chine" politician is not deeply con-
cerned over national problems. He un-
doubtedly sees the need of a business
man OF high ideals for President, who
understands absolutely the pressing
economic problems, who can face in
dustrial unrest with good sense and
justice as we'll as courage. He sees
the need Of a man who has thorough
grasp on the international situation
and who can steer the ship of the ma
tion safely through the dangers ahead.
For alNthese reasons one should not
allow himself, in spirit of discour-
agement or cynicism, to think that the
best man cannot be nominated by the
Republicans this year. The convention
about to assemble is obviously open
minded on the subject. The delegates
will be bound to canvass the relative
availability of the various candidates
in dispassionate spirit, as we'll as in
spirit Of patriotism. Under these
conditions there is no reason to believ.
that they may not come to the conclu-
sion that no man Is so conspicuously
available, both for party success and
national success, as Herbert Hoover.

progress will hope that this appeal
of the Republican State Convention
will convince him that the. popular
desire for suffrage exists in his state
and should prevail.
Rounding Up Josephus

At the naval hearing this week
the following matters were brought
out:
On April 12, 1916, the Senate by
resolution called upon the Secretary
of the Navy for
"a communication, dated August
3, 1914, from the General Board of
the Navy warning the Navy Depart
ment' of the necessity of bringing the
navy to a state of preparedness"
To this resolution the Secretary,
the Hon. Josephus Daniels, respond
ed on April IS, 1916. He said he had
been informed by Admiral Dewey
that there was 70 letter from the
General Board dated August 3, but
that on August I, at special meet
ing called at the request Of Rear
Admiral Fiske, chief of operations,
letter was drafted and signed by
Rear Admiral Knight, the senior Of
ficer present. With this document in
hand (Admiral Dewey wrote of for
warding copy, the Secretary told
the Senate that it did not refer to
"the necessity of bringing the navy
to a state Of preparedness" as to
which the Senate asked for informa-
ton; that it was a confidential let
ter bearing on our relations to for
eign powers, and hence that it was
not in the public interest to pub
lish it.
The document, dated August I,
1914, and signed by Rear Admiral
knight, is now accessible, and it ap-
pears that throughout it was an en-
phatic plea for preparedness. The
first paragraph declared: "The Gen.
erdt Board earnestly urges that the
battleships be brought home, docked
and put IN perfect readiness, with
the exception Of the ships actually
necessary in Caribbean and Mexican
waters"
Then followed statement of ten
reasons for thinking the United
States might become involved in the
war, a list which, read in con-
nection with knowledge of what
happened, shows that the General
Board was no poor prophet. The
last sentence Of the Knight document
sums up the precedings contents by
saying: "Wc should prepare mow
for the situation aohich aoould thus
be created"
Yet the Secretary of the Navy, the
Hon. Josephus Daniels, with the
knight document before him, dared
to write to the Senate that "it does
not refer to the necessity of bring
ing the navy to state of prepared
ness" No wonder the Hon. Josephus
blew up when Chairman Hale asked
him to explain. The record con-
victed him of having sent a willful
and official misstatement to the
Senate.
The Hon. Josephus Daniels may
be regarded as having been at last
rounded up and branded.
