BIG SENAIOR i A TISli i E The stalte execttive coimitt did right yesterday in ignoring the clamor from scattered localities for re-open Jig the lists of the senatorial race to allow the entrance of other candi dates into the race. The rules of the party, wlhile so worded as to allow for the re-opening of the lists if the Oc casion justified it. but by no ieasure of means did tile occasioli justify it. The entrant.; it the race already in cluded two men at least who were represen ta tive of tie factions repre sented in tlie pIarty and there was no need to seek otler candidates through which an expression of the people could he voiced.

It cannot be said, ;iowecr, tihat Ie has beenl a 1 straitgetr !o political life, for lie has always tak en a deep interest it afftairs of state :nd his plitformts i his two race: 'or the Senate have shown that he is a dcep stud:ent of pzhlic affais.
