The charges of bribery made by lead
ing Republicans of the state against
w. r. Merriam seems to be pretty we'll
founded. There lie certainly something
under the surface that the friends Of
Mr. Merriam are anxious should re-
main there. After the convention ad-
journed which nominated Mr.. Merriam
for governor, rumors were abroad that
a great deal of money had ben spent
in the convention in the interest Of MI.
Merriam. Th.se reports the Merriam
men quietly denied, but not 50 strong
as to call out statements to that effect
oy those who were in possession Of the
facts. A Schefer delegare however
was SO angry about it that he came out
and made clean breast of having been
offered $3.50 to vote for Merriam.
Other delegates say they Were similarly
honored by Merriam's friends. This is
the modern Republican way of getting
a nomination. The man with the big
gest barrel is the enc that will be sue
cessful-in conventions only. Thissys-
tenn of getting votes, the liberty loving
element in the Republican party does
not approve of, and will resent such
tactics on election day. A large num-

ter waiting several days to verify the
reports of Merriam having purchased
his election, have come out denouncing
the Republicans Of the state who al.
lowed themselves to be purchased like
cattle when they were there In conyen-
tion to represent an independent people.
