An Appeal to the Voters.

We the undersigned, members of
the democratic committee 10th sene-
torlal district OF Kansas, desire.
through the democratic and populist
press of the district to appeal to every
voter regardless of past political affil-
iations, not only to vote, but also to
use every honorable means at his
command to secure the election of
the Hon. n. B. Mccormick. Much
depends upon his election. for within
the next four years the state Iegisla-
ture of Kansas will be called upon to
elect Two United States senators
The election of these two senators is
OF vast Importance to our state and
nation and Mr.. Mccormick will be
entitled to vote for each. We es-
pecislly desire the united efforts of
all democrats IN the district. Mr..
Mccormick Is the democratic and
populist fusion candidate for state
senator; nominated on the 10Th of
April by the democratic senatorial
convention and by the populist sena-
torial convention. He has served the
people of the great 9th congressional
district in congress, is worthy man
and if elected will, we believe, repre-
sent our senatorial district in a man
ner that will be a credit to himself, q
credit to our district and to the state
of Kansas.

Catching At Straws.

Last week Mr.. Royce attacked Mr..
Donaven, candidate for commission
er, upon the grounds that he was not
born in this country, and did not take
out his final papers until recently.
This sounds like the old knoW-noth-
ing cry of ''down with the foreign
born citizens" The HERALD does not
believe that style of argument (?) will
do any harm to Mr.. DonRven, but on
the contrary, will make friends for
him. Thomas Donaven has been a
resident of this comfy for about Is
yesrs-in fact is one of the older CIT
liens, has voted and exercised the
rights and privileges of citizenship
during nearly all the time. The fact
that the law does not require a man
to take out his final papers before he
can exercise the right to vote seems
to worry Mr.. Royce wonderfully. Is
it the Kansas naturalization laws that
Mr.. Royce is opposed to, or is he
feminist" all forelgn-born citizens?
Or did he just simply hope to deceive
and prejudice some voters who did
not understand the naturalization
laws, thus taking a mean advantage
of Mr.. Donsven? If the Dispatch
really thinks the fact that Mr.. Dons-
ven has recently taken out his final
papers is to his dIscredit why was not
mention made of the matter some
weeks ago? Why, if the intention
was not to deceive somebody, was the
matter held off until now, and sprung
with sensational headlines just before
elections Begins to look like the
drowning man catching at straws,
doesn't it?

A Speech to the Point.

A somewhat striking speech against
the present policies of the republican
administration was delivered on the
floor of the senate of the United
States. It is worth producing at this
time, as the man Who delivered 1t was
looked upon as something of an au-
thority on constitution al questions.
He said:
Arbitrary governments may have
territories and distant possessions,
because arbitrary governments may
rule them by different laws and diff.
ferent systems. Russia may rule in
the Ukraine, and the province of the
Caucasus and Ksmtschatka by differ
emit codes, ordinances or uksses. We
can do no such thing. They must

Antitrust Legislation.

Several papers and spellbinders,
who want to misrepresent the facts in
the cAse, state that the republicans
tried to get an amendment to the
constitution through, by means of
which they could suppress the trusts,
and that the democrats and popullsts
voted against il. Now, every school
boy knows that congress cannot
amend the constitution. It can only
PROPOSE the amendments and they
must then be voted upon by the state
legislatures. In order to carry they
must receive majority vote of the
Legislatures of three-fourths of the
states which would take at present at
least "a states Most of these legis-
latures do not meet oftener than once
in two years, and some in three, and
a few only once in four years. How
long do you think it would take to
get an amendment passed by such
cumbersome process?
Everybody who has read the con-
stitution knows that among the emu
merated powers of congress is the
following: The congress shall have
power to regulate commerce between
the states" It is well known also
that there are no trusts Except the
so-called Ice trust in New York city
but what do an Interstate business.
If their business is wholly within
state, Tat state can if it will, control
or destroy the trust. It is only when
the trusts do an interstate business
that congress must step in and regu-
late them. These being the facts, it
is plain at once that in the case of
threatened Legislation against them,
the trusts would be the first ones TO
try to delay matters by proposing
some kind of dilatory process. That
Is Just what they did. They PROPOSED
TO AMEND THE CONSTITUTION which the
legislatures of twelve states could de-
feat, and which If passed at last,
after four or five years. would leave
matters just where they are now-the
constitution all right, but no law
passed to govern the trusts.
But this is not all An antitrust
bill was actually passed by the house
fifteen republicans and every dem
ocrat. populist and free SILVER repub-
lican voting for it and 1874 republI-
csus voting against it. This bill went
to the senate only few days before
congress adjourned. On pages 7211
to 1915 of the Congressional Record
of June 6, you will find the vote in
the senate. Senators Pettigrew of
South Dakota and Butler of North
Carolina pushed the bill to vote.
When they found they were going to
be compelled to vote on the bill, the
republicans moved to refer the bill to
a committee. which of course meant
it would never be heard of again. On

ord you will ind the vote. Every
