' Now' that the formal acceptance of Elmore of the nomination for the mayoralty of the City of As toria, is known to all men, it follows that the mass of our citizens want to know' what to expect from Mr. El more if he shall.be elected to the chief executiveship of the city. This can be readily ascertained by refer ence to the interview that gentleman gave out yesterday and which will be found itt another column of this is sue of the Morning AstOrlan. It is just the talk that had been expected from this man of affairs; it tarries with it the unescapablo as surance of a thorough poise and per fect understanding ; on the part .". of the man who is surely to be honored with the office. There is no' am biguity about it; no dallying with the crucial phases of the administrative work . cut out Jor , him; whatever; is untouched in this -candid expression, is left untouched until the hour, for thought and disposal shall arrive; he make no reservations that ' are not wholly ; admissable; . he makes !no specific promises and ' pledges that may not be possible of fulfilment; he 'simply talks business as. a business man, and the fore-knowledge that is ours of his faculty for the doing of business is guaranty of what and how he will do it; iiO more than this is needed what his status as a citi jen, a, leading and potential citizen, is considered; he does not have .to deal with vital questions, even ten tatively nor premise his official ca reer with empty promises. , .fr - t If he shall reach the dignity of the mayoralty, the last man in' Astoria knows he will preserve and . fortify it, steadily and surely, as become a man who appreciates it and knows what is expected of him. , ... ANOTHER LINK. - " ... The good news has c6nie out of Pc-.tland that the greatest railway bridge in the world,' connecting the Northern Pacific lines on the south side of the Columbia, and that city, with the "Northi Bank" system at Vancouver, is at last open for traffic and that trains are - now (' using it; that the Dermanent i schedules i will .n h formulated, setting ' up the new commercial activity this link is certain to hasten. - '" Astoria is not without her advant age in this culmination. . 5hd is put in touch with the world by one more rowerful and direct avenue and agency, one thatphe f has" peculiar and pertinent interest in; I ani t js saying but little to say that she is conscious and proud 4o the' tie.'. We believe IhisJberieftt is .not soremrie as some people would have us think; we know the near coast-line is closely interwoven in James J. Hill's greaf plans ;of development and,, that San Francisco is among the ulti mates within his huge , perspective; that Astoria cannot be side-tracked in the outcome and that her interests are merged in the general schemes entertained by both Hill and Harri- man. . v ' ' The throwing , open of the great bridges over the Columbia and the Willamette is but another step; in the program we have, justifiable" concern in and aoart from the vast commer- cial imriortance it. stand? for tn the foldment of the new'and splendid un ;u,v svstem known as; the "North Bank", it is a-matter of profound congratulation to the whole north western , country , as another 'perma nent and conspicuous agency in the illimitable course, of expansion, now under way in this section of the country. , . :.' - .' GENUINE TARIFF REVISION. Such, Mr. Taft declares, is the pol icy of the Republican party. The at titude of the Republican party, on re vision of the tariff was so plainly set forth by Mr. Taft in his speech at Milwaukee, Wis., on September 24, that his words ought to be repeated to everv voter in the united Mates as a convincing and conclusive an swer to Mr. Bryan's unfounded as sertions that the revision will not be feenuine": Mr! Tft aidj; T , - " : ."The party is pledged to a genuine revision, and as the temporary head of " that party, and President of the United States, if it be successful in November, I expect to use all the in fluence that I have by calling im mediately a special session, and by recommendation to Congress, to se cure a genuine and honest revision of the tariff, in accordance-whh the principles of protection laid down in the platform, -based upon the ex amination of appropriate evidence, and impartial as between, the con sumer and the manufacturer." ' There is no mistaking the meaning of anything Mr.: Taft says. There is nothing Delphic or misleading in his Assertions. There will be a revision of the tariff, fair to the person who buys and the worker : who makes American goods. It will he a genuine revision, not a pretended tariff for revenue, like the Democratic Wilson Gorman tariff of fourteen years ago, which gave protection to 1 certain powerful interests which needed no protection, and omitted to protect the industries on which the farmer and waire-earner depended for sun- port. The consequence in disaster and ruin to manulacturers, ana distress and privation to workers have not been forgotten, and the bitter mem ories of that period will have no slight influence in prompting Ameri can workingmen to vote for Taft and Sherman for President and Vice- President o fthe United States, and thereby assuring : a revision ' of the tariff by the Republican party, whose policy it has been from the time the party came into power to safeguard American labor from the unfair com petition of the cheap labor of Europe and Asia. " ' BRYANISM A SERIOUS ISSUE. "The Bryan candidacy is not taken seriously by the men one meets in daily life" says Mr. D. A. Mudg a business man of St. Paul, Minn. The time not to take the Bryan candidacy seriously will be after the election. .While Bryan is in the field the fact that he is the candidate of the Democracy for President, and that his success, however improba ble, would be a crashing: blow' to business interests, ought to make the issue a very serious one for every business man. Many business men,' seeing,-the importance ,of ithe issue, are doing everything they can to pro mote Republican success, and by tr. election of Taft aisd Sherman to as sure '-prosperity for the country and for themselves. In speaking about the national campaign - Representative. keake : as serted with emphasis that Bryan had ingrafted upon the Democratic party the principles of Populism and So cialism, and virtually had wrecked the party. He called Mr. Bryan a fa natic, a crafty seeker after votes, and finally a "political brainstorm. , De spite the picturesque terms which he applied to Bryan, representative Leake, discussed logically and clear ly his reasons for bolting the Demo cratic party. The keynote to his talk was patriotism, and , he pointed out that regard for the nation's interest was higher .than, mere, party loyalty, "I declined re-nomination for Con There is a time for good tea, land a time for good coffee; there is no time for poor either. . ; . i Your grocer return roar moner B 1 Uk S-billiuif i Beit: w pajr him if it it Our Morris Chairs are real Bargains.

Reports from the front state that Candidate Bryan looks somewhat worn, Hi's political policies present somewhat similar experience. Mr. Bryan declares that he stands by his record. He should stand close or it will fall over and smash him. ' KIND OF MAYOR WE WANT. "Editor Astorian I beg to sug gest these qualifications: "One who would veto , an ordi: 4 4' jiance appropriating puDiic money for a regatta parade, because such an expnediture is illegal.
