gavo Wilson their electoral vote In 1012
and five of them this year are fair fight
ing ground, the Democrat believe. To
New York they look to Industrial unrest
and a possibly loyal Tammany (strange
bodfellowa!) for a closely contested vic
tory. New Jemoy, the President's homo
fltate, Is a question mark, with many
commuters In tho north largely Influenced
by New York sontlmont. Maryland Is al
ways as certain to bo as predicted a a
coin Is to fall tho wny It Is called. It
take but llttlo Republican defection to
make West Virginia Democratic, and It
wo Bteadlly so until llrynn came nlontf.
Tho Administratis Is counting on tho
Progressives to keep Ohio for Wilson.
Only Delawaro, among tho States that
bound Pennsylvania, Is beyond question
Republican this year.
It Is, therefore, an excellent thing that
tho Hughes campaign opened with bucIi
vigor tn this city lust night. Ponnsyh anfa
must carry tho banner In this section, and
)t Is up to her reunited Republicans to
hold up tho hands of their struggling

havo been flowing back Into tho Repub

stands In tho same rotation toward South

North Jersoy. What effect New York

bo offset by tho effect Philadelphia Re

tunes of officeholders -without whose ex
istence city and State would be more Re
publican than they aro now. They sit In
Moscu's scat for tho time, subscribing to
principles that are soundly uutlonal and
Republican; their local weakness is not an
Usuo; principles, and not men, are the
Issuo. It Is an unhappy phrase that tho
Mayor slips Into when, in asking for cam.
palgn contributions from tho Organiza
tion's officeholders, he say that as "bono
notaries of Its ucccssea" they should pay,
UUt to offset this spirit tho non-ofllcehold.
lng Republicans can contribute, through
any agency they see tit, to tho Hughes

To th KtUtor of the livening Ledger!
Hlr Is It any wonder that other cities

ynrd, burg, village, etc, when Thomas U,
Smith. Mayor of 1'hlladclphln. Indorses suah
opprobrious rrmnrlcs by sending to New
York for nn expert upon the trnnslt tangle?
We surely had enough ot this under the
lllnnkonburg administration to last us for a
few years at least. Don't you think It Is
about time for the business men and other
public-spirited citizens of I'htlodclplila to
denounce such actions of Thomns U. Smith,
and remind him that he Is not the "whole
city of Philadelphia," but Its servant, nnd
that tlicv should be consulted upon affair Of
Interest to Philadelphia? Havo we no Intelll.
gent men In Philadelphia that are com
petent enough to puxM upon matters which
solely concern Philadelphia alone? We want
no outstdo or foreign novice. What Is the
matter with our educational Institutes? Do
they gradunte only numskulls? 1 was
under the Impression that Philadelphia was
considered cno of the learned cities of the
world Hut I guess Thomas II, Smith thinks
othcrwlne, but then what can we expect?
Let us hear what the Kvkninq I-KixiErt
has to nay on the subject. I am confident
It will be read with Interest. I see that the
mm of 1C0.000 Is to bo paid for this expert
advice Will this Imported "pert bo bondod?
Nothing like looking out for ouaown per

MAGNIFICENT BALDERDASH
To the Editor of the Vvtntng Ledger:
Sir Tho letter In your columns from Mr,
Rhonda remind me of a speech by tha late
Mark Twain, which he prefaced with the
remark that he could allow hlmactf every
freedom In his remarks, as he knew noth
ing whatever about the toplo upon which he
was to speak. It Is no usa fulminating
against Wall street, Kverybody knows that
there Is financial corruption rampant In
many other spotajn the United states be
sides this famous thoroughfare. This is
mainly owing to what Is quaintly termed
''politics,'' and a most weak and futile en
forcement of the laws. When graft and
robbery aro abolished elsewhere It will sub
Side In Wall street, too. In case of a Brit
ish victory there is ho evidence whatsoever,
outside of the padded cell, that high finance
will tumten It grin oh United states cltl-
sens. 1-or.g before this war high finance had
ur cttltens pretty well In Its grip, mainly
owing to a corrupt legislature. It the peo
ple want a fair show. It Is up to them to
choose honest men as legislators and to
scrap (ha present party machines, with all
their extortionate robbery and flagrant dis
honesty. A new American party should be
formed to chooso man for their efficiency In
their duties. Nothing else ahould count.
Party spoils nre the ruin of nil fair gov
ernment. The origin and cause of the pres
ent state of affairs Is entirely Internal and
can be cured at home only.
To talk of a Oerman victory meaning
tho economic .emancipation of the United
States Is, politely said, pure and undiluted
nonsense. To call the financial systems of
the Unll6d Rtntes and Urltaln brutal and
ltlalnous Is only street eornor oratory In
excelsls. To say that they are more con
tcmptiblo In their treatment of the public
than militarism causes grave doubt to arise
rerardlng the mental condition of tho
writer. To be hauled from one's family and
sent td stand in tha trenches, housed worse
than the beasts ot the field, and then to
die a horrible death from wounds caused by
an exploding shell, to dlo a lingering and
frightful death from poison gas, to return
homo maimed and blind are all effects
from militarism. What has finance done
to compare with thla In any remold degree
whatsoever?
Mr Ilhoads's final abusive remarks about
Transvaal, Ireland, India and Egypt show
his dens Ignorance of those countries. Con
summate thiol ery which he alleges can be
found very near his own door, and Is no
worse than consummate slander and con
summate Ignorance. In Germany, where 1
was born, there Is no freedom of speech, no
freedom of the press, no freedom in coali
tion, no clemency In the law for the poor
man, nnd In tho conquered province of Posen
the people are forbidden to use their own
languago In public To talk ot Germany
bringing freedom of any kind Is magnificent
balderdash. What about the economic In
dependence of Turkey under Uermail
nnanco? irnANCIS KKTTNlSIt.

HOPES FOR BETTER THINGS
To the Kdttor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir I feel that 1 shall not be alone In
answering the recent letter of "An Amer
ican englishman." Those of us, like my
self, wlruse forebears endured the early
struggles and trials .that changed the wll
derness and forest into a land of peaoe
and plenty will say, in the words ot on
of our greatest President, that "a nation
of the people, by th people and for the
people shall not prlh from th earth."
In this, the true American spirit, we
look wth Sorrow upon the devastating y,
evolutionary, crisis through which the na
tions of our ancestor are passing, hoping
thai they will emerge from the aaYkSi!i5
of conflict and confusion Into a condition
where lire, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness" will be supremo.
