the party will not only elect John

Burke governor but it will carry into

office two Democratic congressmen

and the party can control the next

legislature. Governor Burke pleading

for the support of the Republicans

'because he is a nonpartisan and the

manager of his campaign appealing to

the Democrats to stick together, to

vote the ticket straight, to "stand

shoulder to shoulder," for by so doing

Governor Burke's election will carry

into office the Democratic congress­

men and a Democratic majority in the

legislature which elects two United

Sitflitea senators! Is any one so pre­

judiced that he believes that is a non­

partisan campaign?

But that is not all the evidence. W.

J. Bryan was sent Into this state by

the Democratic national congression­

al committee to help carry it for that

party in the national congress. In

his speech at Rugby he said:

I hope you will vote for John Burke for governor and that may help to get two Democratic United States senators and possibly two congress­men. Yours is the only state in the union where two United States sen­ators are to be elected this year and every Democratic member that we ran possibly get in our national legis­lature means that we are that much nearer in control.

Two United States senators to be

elected from this state this year! The

only state in the union to do so! No

wonder the national Democratic com­

mittee is sending Mr. Bryan and John

Lind into the state. Vote for John

Burke for governor and that may

help to get two Democratic senators

and possibly two congressmen! Com­

pare that declaration with the letter

of the Democratic state chairman

quoted above and see if it does not

s'.ow a deliberate and organized pur­

pose to elect Democrats to congress

and the United States senate by

means of the nonpartisan campaign

of Governor Burke. And Governor

Burke is a party to the plan.

ACQUITTAL OF ETHEL LENEVE.

AJf HISTORICAL REVIEW.

During the present campaign the!

What does the section ot' the Amer-

ican press which saw so much good

: in the way Lord Alverstome railroaded

:Crippen to the gallows think of his

| lordship's unblushing partiality to-

| ward Ethel Leneve, in contrast with

his harsh treatment of an editor who

printed a story that Crippen had con-,

fessed? With the English criminal

law in force here, and Lord Chief

Justice Alverstone on the bench, ev­

ery one of the editors who commend­

ed the "masterful way" in which he

gives an accused man the short shrift

would be under key all the while or

go bankrupt paying thousand-dollar

fines.

As a further proof of the superior­

ity of the "swift and sure" methods

of the English Jury system, the Le­

neve trial breaks down completely.

With all the cogs carefully greased

for a verdict of acquittal, his lord-

his, and thus, as George F. Edmuiids

put It in an earlier case, he "lost the

capital prize in the lottery ot assassi­nation."

It Is discouraging to the patriot—

the aversion of our statesmen to ac­

ceptance of second place on a nation­

al ticket when the nomination is

equivalent to election; and yet John

Adams and Thomas Jefferson, George

Clinton and John C. Calhoun were

glad to be vice presidents.

Twice Daniel Webster rejected the

office, though he would • have been

president if he had accepter, for both

Harrison and Taylor died In office.

With Webster we must link the name

of Dolliver, who also lost first place

because he refused second.

There's a divinity that shapes our ends.

Rough-hew them how we will.

Dolliver was but fifty-two when he

died and he had not yet attained to his

intellectual zenith. In some respects

he was the foremost man in the sen­

ate, and it is hard to be reconciled to the loss.

For the information of the Herald,

the Democratic paper of this city, the

Times will state that it did not cost

the Democratic state committee any­

thing to have its "stand shoulder to

shoulder" letter published on the

front page of the Times. Neither did

it cost the Herald anything to have

the facsimile reproduction of that 36

per cent state printing graft contract

of which its principal owner was a

party, published in the Bame position

a few years ago. It won't cost the

Herald anything to have It published

again.

Times and other Republican papers

have declared that the purpose of the

Democratic party is the carrying of

the state for that party and that the

candidacy of Governor Burke is mere­

ly a subterfuge for that purpose. We

have asserted that the governor dur­

ing the last four years has been grad­

ually building up & party machine

that for smooth running and high gear

has few equals. The governor's parti-

sane dented this and the Hot of his

appointments published In a recent Is­

sue ot the Times caused a sensation,

for it showed as nothing else could

that the appointments were nearly all

Democrats and that the few Repub­

licans were merely for the purpose of

lulling the party to sleep.

It has been a theory of criminal

law writers for ages that when an

individual commits a crime and at­

tempts to conceal It, that there is al­

ways something which points to the

guilty party left uncovered. So it is

in this campaign. Governor Burke,

when appealing to Republicans to

vote for him, always declared that his

campaign was a personal and non­

partisan one. His actions often

proved this to be untrue, but with his

well known ability as a lawyer to

make a good case out of a bad one,

he sidestepped, dodged and countered.

His lieutenants were not so well

grounded in the game of politics. The

chairman of the Democratic state

committee undertook to rally his par­

ty for the last stand by sending out ft

letter. In it he said:

If "every Democrat will take this to heart and do his duty we will not only elect John Burke governor, but will carry into office our two congressional candidates and the entire state ticket. More than that, we will control the

, nest legislature and with that will be proud of an entire delegation at Washington. * * • Keep tbe ranks cloeed up. Pr« sent a solid' front.

Let us analyze this plea. If every Democrat will do his duty it asserts

ship's "judicial strength" employed

itself in sweeping aside the verdict of

the coroner's jury implicating the wo­

man in the crime, and bringing his

own pliant jury around to toe point

of doing his will. The absence of the

little black skullcap from the judge's

side told' 'tCie knowing onee wflnen the

case opened what to expect Its pres­

ence would have foreehadowed what It did In the Crlpjwa case. It la the

"joker" in the griim drama of the Old

Bailey.

Thus the farce went on to the end,

closing with the exit of the little wo­

man in blue, whose personality had

everything to do with inspiring the

tragic finale that has given America

an exceptional opportunity to see

English justice as it really is.

The afterpiece—the fining of the of­

fending newspaper man—was as cut

and dried a performance aB the big­

ger piece. Seemingly, the lord chief

justice figured that something would

have to be done to offset his weird

conduct of the Leneve case. So he

reversed his mood and put in the sav­

ing clause with a vengeance. Who

now prefers the English code to tbe

American?

DOLLIVER A>D THE PRESIDENCY.

It Is quite an interesting narrative

of the relation the late Jonathan P.

Dolliver had to the Republican na­

tional convention of 1900. Mark Han-

na was the leader of the party, and,

In his opinion, there were some un­

desirable candidates for the nomina­

tion for vice president. He besought

the Iowa statesman to assume the

role of receptive candidate, with the

understanding that he was not to be

forced to take the place against his

will. And so the Dolliver boom was

started and the nomination was in

his grasp; but he preferred the sen-

atorsbip. which he knew would be
