Democrats are resortiug to every device known
70 make noise aud express in some measure
their exultation over the election OF General
Palmer to the United States Senate. All over the
city fags and bunting are flying, and tonight
fireworks are being used without stint.
DR.. Moore in an interview this afternoon said
majority of his constituents that he should vote
rs be did, when rumofs were being circulated
al over the county that Streeter was no longer
nm Independent, but Republican.
Cockreli sald 1t was agreed between Dr. Moore
and himself from the beginning that a. Palmer
had made his fight before the people and been
endorsed by their vote, they would vote for
Palmer after they had demonstrated the fact
they could not elect a straight independent
man. Cockrell added that he and Moore de-
cidcd in the first part of the session that Taubo
neck was straiRhtout Republican. "During
the last few days of the session." said CoekrelI,
I've became afraid a scheme was being worked
to make break in the Democratic ranks. We
feared this break would result in sending Ger
tain Chicago millionaire to the Senate By means
of Doodle, aud determined to head or any such
scheme.
Iaubeneck in an interview said: "If the
Democratic part of the Farmers Mutual Benefit
Association susfains the action of Moore and
Coekrell it will break the organization ali to
pieces. If their action Is condemned II will
show that the organization Is sound. I have no
complaint to make of any one ex ert Moore and

wish the people and press would not call u
the s'big three any more. If the people are
satisfied with the actions OF Moore and cockrell
let them be called the "big two and call me the
sslittle one.''
General Palmer tonight said his canvass has
demonstrated that the true method OF eiectiug q
senator is by an appeal to the people. He had
little to say in addition to his speech this after
noon, except that he will advocate in the
United states senate an amendment to the con-
stitution enabling the people to vote direct for
senator.
