A Republican Assembly lights Tammany patronage grabs.
Tammany force8 a constitutional convention by stiifring ballot lioxes in New York City.

The people have taken a hand in the game and Tammany has been relegated to the rear.
In the Legislature it is a voice and nothing more.
Tho Republican administration be¬ gins the work of cutting tlie deadlock out of thc State government.
The constitutional conventionj two- thirds Republican, makes possible the entire reorganization of the State gov¬ ernment on.simplified lines.
State departments transact the business for which they were estab¬ lished and patronage scandals are conspicuous by their absence.

It requires no lengthy explanations to convince people that the publlc business of the State of New York has been more honestly and efficiently transacted in 1915 than it was in 1911, 1912, 1913 and 1914— partic¬ ularly 1913. In November In the election of members of the Assembly the voters wlll have an opportunity to decide whether they want a contin¬ uance of the 1915 methods or a re¬ turn to the 1913 methods. The an¬ swer seems easy but no one who de¬ sires a continuance of Republican government can afford to remaiii away from the polls.

THE SONG OF THE SUBMARINE.
I'm not a flsh, but 1 can swim,
I'm fiercer than the dreadful shark.
My work is deadly, black and grim; I strike the helpless In the dark.
I blow their ships up unawares, 1 flre beneath the bcean waves.
No time I give to "say your prayers" I sink you in your watery graves.
I came from out the pit of hell, I follow in the serpent's trail;
Oh: I fulfill his mission well; To do his work I never fail!
Man built me by bis wit and skill: And made me for this dreadful task.
Who put it in his heart to kill? Oh, I don't think I need to ask'

It is somo comfort to the taxpayers to know that the Legislature of 1916 will not bo called upon to appropriate aeveral millions of dollars to meet the obligations of 1915, as the Legis¬ lature of 1915 was called upon to meet the obligations of 1914. Paying two yoars 'taxes In one year is not pleasant but It is a logical result of the kind of government this State had for four years prior to Jan. 1, 19 15, when this State was under Democratic control.
The fact that no such criticism has been, or can be, made of the present administration, ought to be sufflcient to determine the result of the next lelection.
The Tammany tiger can change its spots Just as the leopard can; when one spot gets too hot for it, it can move over to a cooler one.
A Republican majority in the As¬ sembly of 1916 is of vital Importance to the people of tbe State.
