Another meeting of the presidents of the

The TELEGRAM regrets that
any Congressional candidate
should be inclined to indulge in
unkind and perhaps entirely I'M
called reflections either upon one
of his fellow candidates or upon
large and certainly highly re-
spectacle element of the Repub.
licsn party. A candidate for
Congressional honors has been
given space in this issue for a
caro- in which he assumes that
the postmasters in his district are
.'mortgaged," politically speak
ing, to the power that reward
them. That having once been
given an Office they are no longer
free agents but absolute slaves.
We have no doubt but that many
Of these so.called "mortgaged
postmasters" all over the First
District are and have been friends
of the gentleman who seeks to
cast shadows, upon their honor;
like ourselves, they probably adj
mire his brilliant attainments
and should he be nominated would
take pride in holding aloft his
banner and Loyalty following it
until it was set in the sky of vic
tory. Our Democratic friends
are taking a great interest just
now in the Republican prelimin-
airy skirmish. Everybody knows
they are interested solely in get
ting the weakest man nominated.
They are resorting to the old
scare crow of "ofice holder"
rule and doing what they can to
get the "sore heads" and disap-
pointed office seekers to organize
and defeat the party. We ex-
pect such practices from our
Democratic brethren but, for
shame, let Republicans be above
such dirty tactics. The TELE-
GRAM can support any of the
gentlemen mentioned when one
of them is placed upon the ticket.
Let each one of them aspire, as a
man, to achieve the place of honor
and let him not forget that who
ever is nominated must make his
campaign very largely upon the
record of the outgoing Congress.
man. He has been the party's
representative. In the great bat
tie of ballots the question will be
Republican rule or Democratic
rule, not this man or that man.
The candidate will point with
pride to the record of his prede-
-cessor and ask the people to con-
tinue the Republican party in
power. Democrats will try to
blacken the record of our repre-.
sentative, bat true Republicans
will make their campaign or
higher issues.
