This is not a safe situation.
Something should be done, and
while it is not popular to demand
rigid economy, or to insist that taxes
be raised if expenditures be not re-
duced, such course looms newt
able. In a presidential year the lot
of chief executive who is forced
to face such dilemma is not a
fortunate one, and it will require
political courage of the highest or

On the Democratic side one finds

While Gov. Roosevelt is much in the
party eye at this time, and many
observers say that he would be nom
mated if the convention were to be
held today, it won't be held until
next summer, and therefore leading
positions in 1881 might not be worth
