Harry New Writes of His Candidacy For Senator.

Harry S. New has written the republican editors of his candidacy for the nomination for United States senator. He recounts that for more than twenty-five ydars he was engaged in the newspaper business, promoting the cause of republican doctrines, which he has always supported and which he will always continue to support. He says: “The country needs republican policies — the tariff, sound business conditions and equal rights and that this is the work for which our party is called.” Mr. New is the president of the Bedford Stone & Construction Co., of Indianapolis.

THE CONTRAST.

Secretary McAdoo’s fanciful tabulation of Treasury prospects, accom 1 panied by his grotesque suggestions for further burdens of direct taxation, was issued Nov. 26. The secretary lays special emphasis upon the demanded expenditure for national defense —which he sets at about $93,000,000 —and shapes his course accordingly. of laying up a surplus; or the demorepublican administration had been confronted with a similar problem on the corresponding day. That is to say, let us suppose that on November 26, 1911, the year before the last presidential election, the republicans had had to provide for $93,000,000 of defense money—what could they have done?

They could have paid for it out of the treasury surplus—which then amounted to $129,787,547.91, without levying a single dollar of new taxes. They would have had some $36,000,000 left; and each day thereafter would have shown an increasing treasury balance, a year later, they would have had more than $55,000,000 of surplus on hand. And this result would not have been produced by any legerdemain of book-keeping. Today the democrats must levy more taxes because they have spent the money accumulated by republicans: and in another year they themselves expect to be more than SIOO,000,000 in the hole. Which is the better—the republican method of paying as you go and has grown steadily year by year, cratic method of squandering all along the line and of soaking the people for more taxes?

The republican party will come back into power in 1916 not because political leaders want it to win but because the rank and file of the American people are convinced that republican principles and administration are best for the industrial welfare and public service of the country. It will be a victory of the people and not a victory of the leaders.

Among the remarkable changes of opinion and position which have marked President Wilson’s course none is more striking than that in relation to Tammany Hall. While Wilson had a huge majority in congress and the opposition in the country was divided Wilson had no use for Tammany. But now it is different. The Tammany Tiger is in a fair way to supplant the White House cat as a family pet.

Lack of “team work” is noticeable not only in President Wilson’s own party but in the ranks of his former assistants, the Bull Moose. On the same day that Medill McCormick told the Colonel that there was no outlook for the third party, George W. Perkins gave out an interview of the most optimistic nature. There will be no question of putting anyone off the team because of this incident —for Mr. McCormick announces that he has quit the team of his own accord and that he will continue to act with the republicans.

Nebraska republicans are a resourceful lot of politicians. Their primary laws permit wide freedom of action, and to this is due the petition to put Justice Hughes’s name on the ballot. The Justice has promptly ordered his name withdrawn. But, nothing daunted, a group of Nebraska petitioners are now trying to put Mayor Thompson of Chicago on the ballot. In his home state Mayor Thompson is believed to be for Senator Sherman, and it would be indeed curious if he should turn up in the convention as Nebraska’s “favorite son”.
