Mr.. Mondell's Candidacy.

Mr.. Mondell will try for the Senate.
They all do it. That is, nearly all.
Now and then a Champ Clark or a
Thomas B. Reed. or a Joseph G. Can.
non appears and shows contentment
with, even preference for, the House
and its atmosphere. but, as rule,
service in the House begets a desire
for service in the Senate. and good
many men have found their way from
the lower to the upper house Of Con.
gress.
The change, however, has not al
ways worked to the advantage of
those making it. Some men after
exhibiting marked usefulness in the
House have failed to score in the Sen.
ate. For some reason, not easily de-
fined, they seemed not to fit into the
new environment-to lack the spur
and spirit that had carried them for
in the old.
At present this is not true of those
members of the Senate who had their
work and the atmosphere of the Sen
ate agree with them. They are justi-
flying their promotion.
Indeed. the two leaders of the Sen
ate came over from the House. Mr..
Lodge was a representative at the
time Thomas B. Reed was directing
the fortunes of his party in the House,
and so had opportunity to study skill
full congressional procedure at close
range, while Mr.. Underwood at a
later day shared with Champ Clark
responsibility for the House fortunes
of the democracy.
MIR. Mondell will run no risk. A
quarter century in the House has de-
veloped his powers: brought him to
the front in the House, and shown
him possessed Of the legislative spirit
and capacity.

izing over the accused. Had these
ball players been wounded veterans OF
the war, caught in some trifling Of
fense and acquitted for sentimental
reasons. they could not have been
treated with more sympathy.
The episode shows that there is a
dangerous lesion in the American
moral sense. An emotionalism dom.
mated this trial. as it frequently does
in the cases of men and women ac.
cused of murder. 1t Is one of the
fundamental faults of the jury sys.
tenn. A ball player, it seems. has
peculiar hold on public affection. and
the acquittal argues that in the minds
Of this Chicago jury at least there is
no wrong in a scheme to trick those
willing to bet on ball games.
Now comes the question Of the res
toration of the players to their for
mer status. That is a matter Of base
ball law. Will their acquittal operate
to put them back automatically in
their places? Or is there a really
equitable quality in base ball statutes
and practices that, disregarding this
miscarriage of justice, will regard
these men as unworthy of further as.
sociation with organized base ball?
Upon the answer to these questions
depends in large degree public con
fidence in the integrity Of the game.

The New York Mayoralty.

Tammany Hall will renominate
Mayor Hylan. A coalition-republica
movement will support at the primary
H. Curran, president of the borough
of Manhattan. He will have opposi-
ton for the nomination, but is likely
to be chosen. He is Brooklyn born,
good record in civil office.
The stage is being set for hum
ming campaign. Tammany needs the
office badly in it's business. Its for
ago it was powerful in both state
and city. 1t has since been stripped
of all state power. and it's hold in
town is slender.
The republicans are now strongly
intrenched in the state, and if they
capture the mayoralty in November
will be masters of the whole situation
and well on the way to another state
triumph next year.
If Mayor Hylan is reelected he
may. very likely will, become state
quantity. The democrats are short
of state leaders. Former Gov. Smith
is not only their best but their only
bet at present. His one term at AL
bany brought him considerable pres

anxious to have try at a second.

organized their state comraittee in
Georgia, in preparation for next
years congressional campaign. They
have not been happy family of late.
But. for that matter. neither have the
democrats. Last year Cox and Roose.
welt received plurality of some
twenty-five thousand-rather a small
figure.
The latest news is from louisa ma,
where the republicans have appealed
to the courts in an effort to secure
representation at the polls. Thirty.
five per cent Of last years vote in
the state was cast by them. The demo-
cratic plurality in November was only
twenty-five thousand, and Mr.. Hard.
ing's reception when he visited the
state later was extremely cordial.
The national administration is in
sympathy with these efforts. as is the
republican national committee. But
their value, since the territory has so
long been undisputedly democratic, is
problematical. The democrats appear
to be undisturbed.

The Base Ball Bribery Verdict.

The national game of base ball is
not itself directly injured by the ac-
quittal Of the players and accused
gamblers at Chicago yesterday. but
justice is hurt and the confidence of
the people in the processes Of law is
shaken. If these players, however,
should return to the game on the
strength Of their acquittal the sport
will be harmed in public estimation.
Technicalities appear to have weigh
ed most heavily in turning the scales
in the Chicago trial. There was evil
dence that professional gamblers
had approached and seduced certain
Of the members of the Chicago team,
paying them to throw games in the
world series with Cincinnati in 1919.
Some Of the men had confessed to
taking money: They had quarreled
over the division Of the spoils Of brib-
cry. One of them, at least, on the
witness stand told of finding cash un.
der his pillow and undertaking to lose
the next game he played. weakening
later in his purpose. Yet in the face
Of this testimony these men were
ncquitted.
There is no grasping the mental
processes of jurors who bring in such

The Southern Republicans.

The movement for quickening the
pulse OF the republican party in the
south is progressing. and promises to
