1t is said to be the belief in admins
trauon circles that we might recognize
the belligerency Of the Cubans without
bringing on war, but that II we recognize
their independence or go about interven-
ton in an offensive manner hostilities
between this country and Spain would
certainly ensue. To what extent Spain
would be able to involve other European
powers is the very grave question which
cannot be determined at this time, but
which is now being anxiously considered
by the president and his advisers. They
do not know whether Spain has any alli-
ances or can count upon the support Of
any Of the powers, and the administra-
tion would much like to know whether
Spain is Isolated or whether she has
resources which even we might find It
troublesome TO match. OF course there
is a popular deluslon that I'VE can
whip all creation" but If Creation"
should happen to be the army of Ger
many, the navy Of France and the gold
Of Britain, the combination might be a
trife too much for u.s. There is a be-
lief, founded upon certain information
which has come to the administration,

OF TWO EVILS CHOOSE THE LESS


Senator Dubois says that "we''-mean-
ing thereby those free sIlverites who call
themselves Republicans-''wiIl not sup
port a gold standard man on a sold
standard platform. There must be a
plain declaration in favor OF the restora-
tion Of silver as standard money''-thst
is. in favor OF free coinage-''by the ST.
Louis convention II they expect or hope
for the electoral votes west of the Mis-
souri, river"-meaning thereby the twenty
electoral votes OF the Rocky Mountain
states. where silver and financial dishon-
esty abound.
If the convention, thrown into con-
sternation by Senator Dubois threats,
and willing to do anything rather than
lose twenty electoral votes, should adopt
a Is to platform. then there would be
a bolt compared to which that Dubois
talks OF would be as a molehIll to a
mountain. As result OF that bolt the
Republicans would lose all the states
east OF the rocky mountains. and they
are the states which elect presidents.
The Democrats. holding their conven-
ton a month later, would catch at the
chance OF salvation thus unexpectedly
held out to them. They would draft the |
most unequivocal and uncompromisng OF
sound money platforms. and on it they
would elect their presidential candidate
II he was as sound as the platform. The 4
Republicans would gain Utah. Idaho. /.
Wyoming and Montana They would /
lose New York. Ohio. Indiana and ILL |
nois. The swap would not be an even
one.
= As between great loss and a certainty |
OF defeat and a small loss and a reason |
bic certainty Of victory no sensible man or |
body Of men can hesitate for a moment |
which to choose. Senator Dubois would |
not hesitate. So he has not the least /
idea that his threatened bolt will frighten |
the convention. But why speak OF a /
"threatensd bolt" as far as he and the
four other free silverites, calling them
selves Republicans, who voted against |
The tariff bill, are concerned? They
have done their worst They have left .
their party already.

The value of voting at the primary
elections has never been fully appreciated
By the people. While citizens generally
have been quite willing to turn out on
election day and vote their party choice
on a ticket already prepared for them,
they have seldom been willing 10 give
the same amount Of time to secure the
nomination OF men on the ticket they
that they have either had to abid4 by
the choice the professional politicians of
their party have offered them. or bolt
it and vote for the candidates of the
other party. 1t has never occurred to
them that they might exert potent in
fiuence in nominating the candidates
they would like to vote for if they would
but take a little time and trouble to that
end. Now the fact is the primary elec-
tions are more important than the gen.
eral elections, for the primaries have to
do with the selection of candidates. No
man has a right 10 complain that the
candidate Of his choice is not nominated
at a party convention II he refuses to
attend the primary elections and help
to select delegates that would be favor
able. to his choice. The primary is the
starting point, the fountain source OF
every political ticket, and it is the con-
troll Of this that gives party managers
and the so-called machine all their
power. Deprive them Of control Of the
primaries and the machine" goes to
pieces. Here, then, Is where the people
must begin If they would purify elections
and nominate reputable men for ofica.
Let it be written in letters Of blazing
light, so that every voter may see it and
understand. The primary election is OF
far greater importance TO the people in
every way than the general election.
