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
