the fruits Of victory last? How stable
win be the conditions Of reform after
Tammany has been dislodged?
Fusion in New York has won before,
but without permanent effect. Some
years ago it won under Seth Low, 2
fine type Of competent man. and then
at another time under w. L. Strong
another fine man. and both gave a
good account Of themselves in ONCE
But the fusion movement In both cases
petered out. Tammany held together,
patient and philosophical in defeat,
and in due time came back. unchas
tened and unchanged, and took pos.
session in the Old way and cut ita
capers in the old fashion. Tammany
never peters out, never disbands.
This WIN be the time Of times for
fusion under republican auspices to
hold together In ONCE and lay founda.

winning yield something permanent!
Or will the rsformers. weary Of well

The Vnyinia Campaign.

The expected split In the ranks OF
the Virginia democracy has not ~ yet
materiAlised. Some Of the Tucker men.
It Ia true, are sulking. But the known
number is not large. Those OF most
campaisn consequence have bowed to
the primary result after the fashion Of
good losers, and are pledging them
selves to the support Of the nominee,

it turned out, easily. r..
Naturally. Mr.. fuckers friends are
much disappointed. He IL an able and
attractive man. and bears a name long

father served for years in Congress.
and was a constitutional lawyer Of
eminence. But the son. while inherit.
ing the fathers ability. did not inherit
his political popularity. This was not
his first manifestation Of a desire to
be Governor Of Virginia, but it will
probably be his last.
The expected split In the republican
party has mAterialized. The coaorod
wing OF the party, in protest against
the exclustvsnsss Of the white wing,
has put ticket OF Its own In the fleld,
and summoned all colored voters to
support 1t.
This gesture, however, Is intended
more for effect outside than inside the
state. Colored voters. who are numer.

there, are asked TO believe that there
IL no hope for colored men now in the

President, Harding is understood
virtually to have decided on the ap-

postmaster at New York city, a po-

whicn appeared to have the object of
forcing President Harding to take dis
armament steps the house by vote
Of 212 10 10 passed and sent to the
senate the naval appropriations bill
The measure carries a total of $780,
100000, with $90000,0O0 for eXpendi-
lure on new construction work during
the EeXt fiscal year, and virtually is
the same as was passed by the house
last session.
The German reparations proposals
have already developed into the most
serious dilemma which has confronted
the Harding administration since 1t

ing to very strong, though unofficial,
adviceS, are dissatisfied with their
terms and unwilling to reopen nego-
tiations with them as a basis
