service in any public or private posi
ton that showed tho least qualification
for United States Senator. The re
election Of Don Cameron to the United
States Senate would involve Cameron
ascendency IN the State for at least 81,
years more, for all his strength is il
his position in the Senate and consc
quent control of the States share O
Governmental patronage. The howel
of the Republican party in this State
its real talent and responsibility, will
have to fight Cameron six years hence
if they do not crush him now, anC
twelve years hence il they do not do il
then, and so on for all time With thC
Federal patronage in his hands Cam
eron will never yield the absolute die
tatorship of his party until defeated
He is weaker now than he will be il
the future if the Federal patronage b,
continued in his hands. TO crush hin
now is, therefore, the only course O
safety for those men of the Republican
party who hope to reach posts of honol
and leadership OF the Republican party
in future. While he leads they car

afford to eclipse himself or show hii
deficiency by contrast with ability.
