"The Kickers of the Past" Is the bus
peHtive title of an artli'le In a cuntem
purary written by a man who, after
tomorrow, will be one of them.
- -
The Issue as to the Mayoralty.
Irrespective of Hide, issues, Injected
Into the campaign to confuse the voters,
one of two men must be elected mayor
of Scranton tomorrow, for the next
three years Colonel Ripplo or Mr.
Hailey. It Is admitted that under or
dinary circumstances there would be
absolutely no iuestlon of an . over
whelming victory for the former. Those
who tight him concede his superior
qualifications for the ofilce, acknowl
edge his lurgt r uml longer experience
In municipal uffairs and testify to his
strength and Independence of private
character. The ostensible basis of
their attack upon lilm Is that he Is Un
friend of another, at whom they would
strike through him.
If the chief ofilce in the government
of a city of the magnitude of Scranton
Is to be awarded on the basis of per
sonal jealousies or grudges; if para
mount fitness is to be set aside and ami
able uncertainty elevated In its stead
because some voters, a mere fraction of
the total electorate, thirst for party re
bellion and personal assassination, let
It be done, but let It be done honorably
and without false pretense. Let It bp
written In the municipal records that
mayors are wanted, not for their abil
ity, for their Integrity, for their long
and unselfish devotion to public inter
ests, but for their acceptability to po
litical soldiers of fortune.
All talk about Connelllsm" or any
other "ism" Is now fruitless and point
less. The Issue, fair and frank, Is
Ripple or Bailey; Republicanism or
Democracy; approved experience or
uncertain experiment. Upon this Issue
must the taxpayers prepare to vote, In
the sobering knowledge that the ver
dict of their ballots will determine the
matter for three full years to come.
It will soon be- time for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination to go
out on a Jong, stern chase for Its victim.
Why to Vote for the Viaduct.
Because It Is an act of justice to the
11,000 to 20,000 persons who cross the
dangerous railroad tracks on West
Lackawanna avenue every day, expos
ing themselves to needless risk of acci
dent or death.
Because It Is a just step In recogni
tion of the rights of 30,000 residents on
the West Side, who willingly contribute
their share of the city's taxes, ns well
83 a promised convenience to every
other Inhabitant of the city.
Hecauselt will bring the various parts
of the city closer together, breed a
greater mutuality of Interests and be a
long stride forward toward the splen
did, metropolitan Scranton that Is to
be.
Because the cost would be only about
2 cents on an average to the laborer,
fl cents to the miner, mechanic and
clerk, and from 15 to 40 cents for the
home owner.
Because there Is no reason why a life
should not be as valuable In Hyde Park
as In any other part of the United
States, and none why it should not have
equal protection.
Representative Scranton Is working
for the Democracy with the proverbial
seal of a new convert. Two editorials
and a column-and-a-half letter signed
"A Quay Republican," formed his labor
Saturday. He evidently regards his
situation as desperate.
The Issue as to the Treasurershlp.
Personally, both Mr. Williams and
Mr. Boland are worthy men. The com
mon factor of personality may, there
fore, safely be subtracted, leaving for
settlement questions strictly political.
The first of these hinges on the fact
that for six years the office of city
treasurer has been held by a represen
tative of the Welsh-Americans of our
city. Another Welshman is now run
ning:. Shall his countrymen vote a
want of confidence In their own race,
or shall they, by turning In solidly for
Daniel Williams, show that they be
lieve the finances of the city will be
safe In this honest Welshman's hands?
Again, the defeat of Mr. Williams by
Republican! would cause party trou
ble for years to come, and is therefpre
a possibility to be guarded against by
every xu-puuuenn .wno, cares lor. .nts.
party. This being a presidential year.
it 1. a ood time to do what will help!
rather than hurt, the party. .If therts
la anjr cutting
bt done, let It fall I
rather on the head of the ticket, who Is
a soldier used to the trials and disap
pointments of war, thanuiHin the nomi
nee for treasurer, whose present candi
dacy is his first one on a city ticket.
Finally, the quickest way to re-establish
Republican principles In the na
tion is to head off every attempt of the
free trade Democracy to strengthen It
self for next fall's presidential content.
As a party. Democracy deserves no
quarter. Give it none.
ThoTiibune gladly accords welcome
to the newest venture in local Journal
Ism, which made Its appearance Satur
duy Colonel Laciar's Illustrated week
ly paper, the Critic. The Clitic is en
tirely of home production, every cut,
type and fibre in its twelve handsome
pages being products of Scranton skill.
Its aim Is to present a clean, bright
and diversified weekly review of cur
rent events in poll tics, musical, the
atrical,, social and sporting circles, to
gether with 'special articles of an in
forming character, and the first number
shows that this aim will be realized.
The Clitic guarantees to live one year,
whether people want it or not; but We
suspect it will live much longer thun
that, in response to an appreciative
popular demand.
A Common-Sense Basis.
Doubtless no one lias been deceived
as to the significance of the morning
Democratic organ's mock-heroic dia
tribes on "Connellism," and doubtless
no one will be. It will readily be re
membered that "Connelllsm" wus all
right so long as the editor of the "Re
publican" could twist it to suit his per
sonal purposes. In those days the howl
was not against "Connelllsm," but
against "Fellowslsm," "Watrcslsm"
and every other "lsni" that stood In the
pathway of Mr. Scranton's political
progress. If "Connellism" has any
fault It Is that it ever made the mis
take of trying to conciliate this man,
whose only basis of conciliation is that
he shall have everything at all times
his own way.
lint the question today Is not "Con
nelllsm," however much that particular
"Ism" may have, been misrepresented;
It Is plain cominon-senslsm. It Is the
question whether an honestly nomin
ated Republican ticket composed of
men personally so reputable and de
serving thut timing all this heated can
vass not one word Jkis been said against
them shall be defeated In the spring of
u presidential year and the power u lid
prestige of popular indorsement be
given over to the prosperity-destroying
Democratic party, or whether the gov
ernment of the city shall be kept In
sufe hands. That and that only Is the
question before the electors of this city;
that and that alone should they con
sider ' when entering the electoral
booths. If the taxpayers of Scranton
want to have three years more of eco
nomical, progressive government, pre
sided over by a mayor of demonstrated
fitness, character and ability; If they
want to rest secure In a kind of admin
istration which ten years ago found
the city's affairs In a maze of compli
cations and debt and left It prosperous,
business-like and solvent; If In other
words, they want to assure to this
growing city a government In keeping
with Its magnitude, its resources and
its unfolding brilliant future, without
at the same time Jeoparding any le
gitimate party Interest In the Important
Interval just preceding a presidential
campaign, they will vote, tomorrow.
for Ezra H, Ripple, Daniel Williams,
Fred J. Wldmayer, and their three Re
publican colleagues.Fowler, Flckus and
Dawson, and be glad of the chance to
put such worthy men as these into
municipal office.
The Intelligent electors of the city
who believe in good, safe, and repu
table government will upon reflection,
vote for these men entirely regardless
of Connellism, Scrantonism or any other
"Ism," because they will understand
that by so voting they will promote
their own welfare, benefit the commu
nity and make possible a continuance
of the healthy growth which, under
Republican rule, has raised Scranton
to the proud eminence of being the
third largest and the first best-governed
city in the state. They will vote
the Republican ticket because they will
remember that under Republican ad
mihistratl6n, under standards set by
Ezra Ripple when he was mayor before,
the credit of Scranton has been rescued
from odium, its executive departments
have been cleaned and renovated, and
efficient business methods have been
Introduced and zealously applied to the
transaction of the municipality's busi
ness. They will vote the Republican
ticket because not to do so would be to
take utterly needless risks, with the
chances all against the getting of
equally good results from the inexper
ienced opposition.
We submit that there has been
enough prejudice, enough passion,
enough flaunting of the black flag of
factional malice, in short.enough down
right lying in this canvass, and that it
is now high time to get down to a
common sense basis. It is time, in
other words, that the Interests of Mr.
Conneli, of Mr. Scranton, of Mr. Davles,
of Mr. Fellows and of every other single
Individual, good, bad or indifferent, be
eliminated from the problem, and con
sideration be given Instead to the true
Interests of ' our common city. The
point at Issue, viewed from this stand
point, is easily dlrtinguishable.and once
apprehended. Is easily met. The naked
queBtIon .wm tne clly be in better
7 ..... ... .
,am,8 lt the RePubIlcan candidates are
fitted tbttn lf the Democratic candl
dates are elected, or will It not?" In
preparing your answer to this Interro
gation conioaie the partus and tw
men, I)o this fairly and vote accord
ingly. Republicans are perfectly wil!
ing to abide such a test.
If there Is anybody loss qualified than
the editor of the "Republican" to preach
on morals, and expatiate on the beau
ties of a spiritual life, let him step forth.
f
The Issue as to the Controlfership.
A very few words will suffice to define
the Issue between City Controller Fred
J. Widmayer. the Republican nominee
for re-election, and Edmund Robinson,
his Democratic opponent. The one Is
experienced. The other is not. The
one has shown by three years' hard
work that he Is the right man In the
right jilaee. The other neither upmIh
the office nor Is known to be qualified
to till It.
i If Mr. Robinson should r.o into the
office of the directors of a large pri
vate correlation and ask to be put
at once- Into the position of a trusted
and experienced employe, -Ills request
would excite derision. Why should he
make a similar request of the directors
of the public corporation called Scran
ton and expect a different result?
It Is the duty of every Republican to
vote for Mr. Widmayer, because .he Is
the fair nominee of hl.i party, and be
cause he thoroughly deserves liis
party's undivided support. ' It should
be a pleasure for many Democrats to
vote for him as a testimonial to the
marked efficiency of his Mist term of
service, and as a reward of demonstrat
ed official merit.
There Is no end of compressed truth
in the folowins puragraph taken from
Colonel I.achir's Clitic: "The fellows
who cry most loudly against bosses ami
bosslsm have all at some time or other
moved heaven and earth to be bosses
themselves. They do not really object
to bossism but only to the fellows who
happen to be bosses. l.'suiiMy the de
throned boss cries the loudest. It has
always been so." And so it ever will
lie.
The Meeting at the Armory.
The address of ex-Mayor Powdeiiy
at the Armory on Saturday night wns
an effective rebuke to those who have
Impugned his motives lit exercising his
constitutional light to act with the po
litical party of his choice. Mr. Powtler
ly believes that under present condi
tions the Republican party is the party
whose- principles ure of greatest value
to thf country, the party which offers
the largest measure of protection to
labor mul the most bounteous prospect
of general prosperity. Believing this,
he would be recreant to his own con
victions; and false to his obligations us
a citizen if ho were to decline to co
operate with that party and to work
for Its Miiccess.
Nor can he be justly criticized for
supporting. In this canvass, the Repub
lican local ticket. The claim of the
Deinocrutle leaders that any race or
class is bound hand ami foot to the
Democratic party and that Irish
Americans, In particular, are to be
branded ns traitors for exercising the
right of suffrage as they may deem best
calculated to promote the public good.
Is both absurd and repugnant. It Is
not exacted of Americans that they be
members of one political party only.
The American would be quick to re
sent any attempt on the part of any
party to label him as its especial prop
erty. Have not our fellow-citizens of
Irish descent an equal right to think
for themselves and to act freely, as
their own judgment shall dictate?
i We commend to our readers the re
port, in another column, of the speeches
made Suturday evening, at the Armory
mass meeting. It presents the Issues
fairly and aptly.
We believe that the Republican ticket
will win tomorrow by safe pluralities.
This is a Republican year.
WHAT COXXEM.ISM HAS DONE.
From the Scranton Critic.
There is undoubtedly a great deal of
"Connelllsm" in this community. It is
seen and felt in every direction. First,
we have "Connelllsm" in business. It has
been the meuns of rearing perhaps not
less than a score of successful financial,
manufacturing and commercial institu
tions In the city and valley, giving em
ployment to many hundreds of people, di
rectly and Indirectly, and contributing to
the development and enterprise of the
community. Second, we have "Connell
ism" in the promotion of the organized
benevolent and charitable Institutions of
the city, bringing relief to and sheltering
the unfortunate and distressed. Third,
we have "Connellism" in the. furthering of
the religious and educational interests of
this and other sections of the country.
Finally, the truth compels us to admit,
that we have "Connelllsm" in our politics,
and It is the only variety of this "ism"
thut has been misrepresented.
Jt Is not necessary to discuss what
"Connelllsm" has accomplished in other
respects, anil we propose to elucidate it
briefly only In Its connection with polltl 's.
VVlint fs called Connellism is nothing
more nor less than a popular revolt in the
Republican parly of Lackawanna coun
ty against the selfish leadership of the
past, a leadership that hud become dis
tasteful, offensive and unbearable by rea
son of its selfishness, greed and overheat
ing tyranny. V.r. Conneli wus virtually
forced asninst his own Inclinations into
the leadership of this revolt, lie has
sought no pollticnl honors for himself,
hat, on the contrary, has frequently de
clined the highest honors of his party
when urged to uccept. "Connelllsm" in
the noli I lis of the clly of Scranton ami
of Lackuwanna county Is synonymous
with genuine, auaressive Republicanism.
It tights Its battles lnlde the lines of the
Republican party and recognizes no pollt
icnl opponent except the Democracy.
t'nder this so-called "Connelllsm" Re
publican majorities have grown wonder
fully In the city nnd county, and n blqh
order of public administration Is -the re
sult. The people are not tired of "Con
nelllsm" In business or politics, and a few
dethroned leaders cannot make It obnox
ious by false charges and misrepresenta
tion. '
POLITICS AMI CHARACTER,.
From the Scranton Truth.
The grenlest evil in all municipal gov
ernment today crises from the scrambling
of petty politicians for place and powr.
There can be no question that, In a free
government like this, it Is a luudable
thing for any honorable citizen to aspire
to office, but In campaigns malice, like
death, loves a shining mark, and tho
brightest armor beconies the most con
spicuous target for mud.
This fact Is exemplified most forcibly
In the case of our esteemed townsman.
Colonel Ezra H. Ripple, one of the worth
iest men thut any community would be
proud to honor. Ills heroism, devotion
ami sacrifices for his country hud lonsi
endeared him to men, women and even
children of nil classes, and neither the
forked tongue of hate nor the baleful
breath of slander dared to make any min
ister demonstration against his fair fame
until he accepted the recent nomination
for mayor of Scranton.
Then for the first time this community
which for more ihua u quarter of a efT
tiny hml love I and honored Itim us hern
tint soldier, wus told thut h- who ha I
k!vmi to t.U country's cause til Hist
ired aspirations of his building; manhood
In the slud iluwn of south was no olllr
at ull; that he who hud felt the foo's
rueli-st ru'.ipti just becnuye lie wore thu
bhie. whs no hero; thut he wlio had been
pursued by the blnod-haiiuds of the enemy,
was the friend of tlesd-lcra!
: the pity cf H! thut politics should
descend to t-ui h depths us to fork to rob
the hruvest of their rightly and dearly
won Illinois, and cspcciully such hs weru
won In their country's tervlce.
Hut !t is not alons us Koldier that Col
onel Klpple has commended himself. No
nun has more thoroughly demoiiBtratel
In his own personality the true meunlng of
the. term eitiisen-soldier thun Colonel Kip-
pie. In civil life 1m has always been thu
model citizen, meeting every duty Ilk
a true man. and ut the same time being
mindful always of others.
This Is not suyl.-iR any new thine about
Colonel Hippie, lt In simply statiui! what
every man nnd woinun In town knows
but It Is well to keep the truth tteuclily In
view at a time like this, whfn nothing is
considered too sacred in the minds of
thope who. for tho purposs of prntlfyi'ig
revenge or to Inline power, would not
scruple to trample under foot the very
noblest attributes of man, the most ap
proved gifts of huavcn Itself.
Ill-sr.RVK Ml RI'COGMriUN.
From the Scranton Critic.
.Men who are loynl to their party only
when they aie themselve the beneficia
ries of Its honors and official -moluments
deserve no recognition ut IJepublieans,
certainly not as leaders of t he party.
There is Just one honorable course open
to those who call themselves true I.e
publicum in tlio present campaign In this
city, and that is to repudiate the appeals
of disloyal party men and stand by th
nominees of their party. In this ceurst
only is to be found future succeas for ne
fublieanism In this city and county; Any
Itepuhlleun who would uld in the restora
tion of the Democratic parly to power
when his own party presents uch men us
Hippie. Wlllliiiiis, Widmayer and their
colleague on the ticket. Is simply un
worthy the name of Republican.
