The Republican Caucus

Well, the majority party here has held
its nominating caucus, or veudue, to noml-
nate candidates for Senate, Assembly, Sher-
if and Coroner, and the first place was
given to the highest and the second to the
west bidder The third and fourth
positions on the ticket seem TO be OF little
Importance, as only one man in the party
entered the race for each Office.
Perhaps our statement that the first
position was given to the highest and the
second to the lowest bidder. will require
explanation in some townships, though we
are sure it will notin Woodbury., where il
is common talk that v,ters with votes to
sell were rewarded to the extent of two to
seven dollars in case they voted for Stranger
and Robson, the average price being three
dollars We have not learned that Piers0n
and Buck resorted to this method to win.
As Mr. Buck was successful our readers will
understand our statement that the lowest
bidder in this nominating auction was given
the Assembly nomination
Had Mr Pierson been as wise as Solomon,
we mean Solomon II and had friends as
venturesome and INSCRIPTIONS as he; and
armed with fund, say $500 less in
amount, we would have the remarkable
anomaly of both nominations at this Craw
ford County auction going to the lowest
bona fide bidder
II is well, for the people, that one fac
tion of the msjorIiy party here yet has
courage and conscience to eDdeav0r to
secure nominations by methods that will
bear the weight of public scrutiny. In
that fact there is hope for ihe future
there is hope that nominations by the party
that expects to administer public affairs
here, will some day be dictated by con
siderations of public welfare But if Mr.
Persons defeat has the effect of discour-
aging honest caucuses; Of d:scouragiDg
men without Doodle or the disposition TO
use it from allowing their names to be
used in primary elections, it is more than a
public misfortune, it is public calamity
Street reports are to the effect that Mr.
Robertson takes with him into his second
political Waterloo cash loss of 81 800. and
Mr. Pierson in his first defeat. . loss of 1925.

Editor Democrat:
The most disgraceful caucus ever held
here was that of last Saturday afternoon.
Liquor and money and roudyism marked
the proceedings and decent Republicans
are disguised with the whole affair. This
caucus is supposed TO be confined to Re
publican voters to choose candidates for
the Republican party, but the Republican
workers here beaded by Moffett and Sick

are willing to help neighbor to the ex-
