their candidate in advance. That question |
was settled long ago by Geo. B. Cox the boss
of the party in the stale. The wishes and
opinions of the other 100000 odd thousand
Republicans of the state amount to moth ng
once that Cox has determined who and what
he wants. With the Democratic party it is |
different altogether. With them the people
cut something of figure. Nobody in ad |
vance dares think of such thing as the
choice of senator in a secret conclave Of a
few leaders here and there. The Democra-
cy settles these questions in the broad light
of day and nothing is done under a bushel.
Nobody knows at this time who will be the
senator in case the Democracy carry the
legislature. One of the traditions of the
party gives to each worthy public official a
second term and this has rarely been violat-
ed. George H. Pendleton was an exception.
Mr.. Payne was too old to accApt the respon-
sibilities of q second term. As far as Mr..
Brice is concerned he has said nothing as to
his intentions. Iu letters to leading
Democrats over the state he expresses him
self as believer in home rule and ne has
therefore requested that the Democracy
everywhere select their own candidates with
out interference from outsiders. He be-
lieves in putting forward tie best meu in each
county and district and securing Legislature
| first. Personal success and ambition should
be relegated to the rear when party triumph
is at stake. No wiser policy can be pursued
;,;l al
hshness in the face of the momentous i'm
pending contest which means so mucn to tie
| Democratic party. This is the policy OF
Senator Brice in both legislative and guber-
Material matters. He is only anxious to obey,
not to dictate. Once the line of battle is
formed he will gladly take his place in the
r nks and do his whole duty as common
soldier in the glorious cause. In casting
about for successor TO the senator the
name Of
HON. L 7. NEAL
seems to be growing in favor with. the people.
| Mr.. Neal is of the sterling element of De-
mocracy of which his late distinguished
townsman, the Nestor of Democracy, Will
liam Allen was the highest type. No more
i!lustrious Democrat ever walked the earth
than this rugged old Roman whose simple
life and honest convictions as yet tower
of strength to his hary. Larry Neal is like
him in many resp cots aud if he should be
called to fill the seat once occupied by Gov
Allen and later by the latter grand nephew,
Allen G.. Thurman, he would fill it with the
| highest N, asure of honor and glory to him.
self and the people. Mr.. Neal has few equals
today as an exponent of the principles of
Democracy and no man in the state is heard
more gladly by the common people than
plain Larry Neal.
Much interest is being aroused among all
Democrats as to the name of the standard
bearer who shall lead to glorious victory in
November. None of those mentioned SO
