William Sulzer, impeached as gov
ernor of the State of New York, Mon
day night was nominated for the As
sembly by the Progressives of the
6th Assembly district. Mr. Sulzer in
1889 began his public career as a
member of this branch of the State
Legislature. Mr. Sulzer has agreed
to accept the nomination, it was an
nounced at the meeting where be
was chosen as the candidate. Max
Stelndler, Progressive laader in the
6th Aaaembly district, who placed
the former governor’s name in nomi
nation, said Mr. Sulaer reached him
by telephone from Albany Ingmirlng
if he had been designated. Mr
Stelndler replied In the aMrmatlve.
■e said he asked Mr. SnUer If he
would accept and Mr. Suiter replied
he would gladly do eo.
The nomination of the Impeached
executive was brought about against
the desires of the State and county
leaders of the Progressive party. The
sentiment among the Progressives
throughout the State and in other
states was generally against the
move, according to State Chairman
Theodore Douglas Robinson snd
County Chairman Crancts W Rlrd

There ta a confident feeling In of

phatlc reiteration that the i nlted
Ftates will stand by Its policy of deal
ing only with governments founded
on law and order and there Is a like
lihood he will go a step further and
assert an Intention +t seeing that
constitutional government Is main
tained on this hemisphere despite
any foreign Influence.
The Washington administration
considers that the Huerta govern
ment was toppling, that natural re
sentment was being manifested
throughout Mexico after the arrest
of the Mexican congress, when at the
critical moment the presentation by
Sir Lionel Carden of his credentials,
onrepudiated by Great Britain, had
the effect of morally supporting the
Huerta regime.
Secretary Bryan’s only comment
oh the Mexican situation was to the
effect that representations had been
made to persuade the federal authori
ties in Mexico to give the captured
Maderos a fair trial. While Gen.
Felix Diaz by no means is regarded
with favor by the administration, it
•was apparent at the state department
that American officials would look
with displeasure on any harm befall
ing him or any other candidate in the
coming election.

Pay the Teachers IMXter.
It is not creditable to us that the
majority of our teachers are so poor
ly paid. In one or two States sal
aries may average fairly high but in
many others they do not. In teach
ing, as in other callings, poorly paid
services mean poor results. That un
der the circumstances teachers are
so offleient and so faithful in their
duties is to their credit. But it is
not reasonable to expect the highest
efficiency unless the remuneration is
bettered. And It Is the best we
should seek for our children in the
way of education, and it is their
right. ;'5
