WHAT WE MAY EXPECT.
' 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,
