A sPAsM of good sense has accidental
ly come over the Cleveland Plain Dealer
in its discussion of the performance of
the runaway Democratic Senator'S 1t
says:
1t does not occur to anybody, not even
to the Democratic constituents of tn, Sc
Senators, that they (the SenatorS) have
any proper business in Kentucky, or that
they are accomplishing any useful pur-
pose in staying there. They were not
elected TO lagislate for Kentucky. and it
does does not appear that there is any
demand in Kentucky for Ohio legisla-
tion. This being so, perhaps it might
be well at this time to suggest to he
Senators in exile the propriety of return
ing home. They had no business to run
away in the 6rst place. 1t was ii sense
less performance, no matter who ad-
vised il. and the outcome has been ridic>
lous.
