THE SOLDIER SENATORS.

Ii the Repa blicans persist in
senting Capt. Gctzendanner and
Person as members of the State
Senate, then tho constitution and
the law OF the State may as well be
done away with, for nothing but
anarchy and confusion will reign
supreme. TakeGetzendanner's case
for instance. In the first place he
never had shadow of title to n
seat in the Senate. The Demo-
cratic candidate two years ago had
good safe majority, but the Re
publicans having control Of the
Senate, counted Shnffer out, by
refusing to count the votes cast for
him on the Gold Democratic
ticket. BY throwing these all
away, they managed to squeeze
Getzendanncr in, because they need =
ed his vote. 1t simply was u clear
case OF stealing and an outrage on
the voters of that Senatorial dis
trict who had u right to have their
votes counted no difference what
ticket they were on. So much for
that part Of the rascally program.
Last summer Ge,zerdanner WIS
appointed captain in the army
and entered the service. which va
Gated his office as Senator, since
the law is plain that II m IN cannot
hold position under the State
and Federal Government both at
the same time. or course no one
blamed Gelzendanuer for giving
up an office that only paid few
dollars while the Legislature was
in session for one that paid 81 800
per year.
So the Democrats Of the ThI-
teenth Senatorial district, com
posed of the counties of Berkeley,
Morgan and Jefferson. went ahead
in good faith and nominated and
elected Hon. William Campbell, OF
Jefferson county, to fill the va.
ca cy caused by Getzendanner en-
tering the army.
The Republicans knowing that
they had no show to elect Sena-
tor ia that district, after their
rape on the suffrage Of the people
two years ago, claimed that Getzen
danner was stIll Senator and are
trying TO hold on to him. So
much stir has been made about it..
that conference OF the big Repub
cans of this State was held in
Washington recently and il was
decided to force GetEendanner to
resign from the army, which was
done, but they had to promise him
something good in order to get hlm
to give up au 81, 800 position for a
81 per day JOB for 40 days. As a
matter OF fact Gotzendauner is now
out Of job all around. For he
vacated bis Office or Senator when
be entered The army and now hay-
ing resigned from that, has 10
more right TO a STAT in the Senate
than the "Wild Man OF Borneo. -
but because the Republic ms have
majority ia the Senate they OK p
pect 70 vote him ia and keep
Campbell out.
The same law aad facts apply to
Lieut.. Person as apply TO Getzen.-
daEner, exec pit that he had moro
right 70 his sea, in tho frat place.
