Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1900-04-27
THE DoUBLE-HEADER.


placing in nomination two can
didates upon practically the
same platforms, the more we are
disgusted with that policy OF
peanut politics which prevented
a getting together of the ele-
ments opposing modem repub-
licanism.
We cannot condone the small
ness of those Individual dele
gates, and possibly one or two
of the candidates, who forgot or
put out of sight, the great prin-
! ciples of right and justice in
order that they might bring
about personal plans and ad-
vance personal ambitions.
While there were a few intem-
perate, unreasonable men in the
democratic convention who
cared naught for the chances of
success, we KNOW that the major
ity of the democratic delegates
were favorable to an honorable
straightforward fusion of the
forces upon one candidates.
They held that object of first i'm
portance, and shaped their ac-
tions to that end.
After the informal ballot to
show the strength of the various
candidates was taken, all Efforts
were then directed towards a
s'getting together
And what was the course of
our populist friends? Did they
meet us half way? Hardly. The
first thing did almost was the
Offering of a resolution binding
them to nominate only a popu-
list. That motion was voted
down, showing, on the start,
that a majority of the delegates
in that convention was at that
time favorable to concert of ac-
ton with the democrats. That
was early in the game, when the
delegates, fresh from their home
people remembered their duties
and what they were sent to Great
Bend to do.
But when the balloting COM
menced, and the first ballot
showed that Mr.. Duval, who was
the practically unanimous choice
of the democratic convention,
led all other candidates in the
populist convention also; then
the peanut statesmen began get
ting in their work; then the men
who could not arise above per-
sonal ambitions and personal
hates began to SOW seeds Of dis
cord, and to influence the dele
gates against their best judg-
meat and against the expressed
will of nine-tenths of the populist
and democratic voters of the
district; so that when the demo-
cratic convention sent over a
proposition for conference it was
simply ignored; the nomination
OF Mr.. Campbell was effected, and
q committee then appointed to
wait upon the democrats and
say: eve have selected the can
didate-what are you going to
do about it?''
What can the democrats Of
this congressional district do
about il, but stand loyalty by
our honorable candidate, honor
ably nominated? He is the
choice OF a good big majority OF
the delegates in both conven-
tions. He is able, praiseworthy,
and unquestionably the strong
est man before the people.
Look back over the course, OF
the democrats in this congres-
sional district for the past ten

For President in 1900,

For Congressman, 7th District
CLAUD DUVAL.
A WITHDRAWAL of Tully Scott
in Che 9Th district and I. P.

ought to be, a fair adjustment ol
the congressional difficulties in
the two districts.
SAYS Townsley to Chester,
''Dear Chef, you are in it, Says
Chesterto Judge, eyes, just for
a minute. Says Townsley to
Chef, eff twas only Duval?'
Says Chet to the Judge, ''Then
I'd not be in it at all.''
AS THE DEMOCRAT suggested,
Ira Clark of the Reg, g,ster lies
down grovelingly and let's the
Long band wagon run over him,
for, you see, on the tailboard of
the wagon the bosses have tackled
a placard which reads: County
Printer Nomination" and Ira
cannot see anything else just
now. He should remember, how
ever, that it is tackled to the
band wagon, and the fellows who
are aboard can snitch it more
easily than the fellow who is be-
ing run oyer.
THE Scott City Chronicle, in
commenting on the action of the
two conventions here last week,
says: Gas Duval had a strong
following in the populist conven-
tion-receiving more votes in
that convention upon the first
ballot than any one of the popu-
list candidates-and having re-
ceived practically the unanimous
vote of the democratic conven-
tien upon the first ballot, he is
unauestionably the logical can
didate, and there is little doubt
tha5 Campbells name will be
Withdrawn and Duval given the
hearty support of all reform
forces in the district.
If THE present congress will
pass Senate bill No. 1,439, Civ
ing to the Interstate Commerce
Commission the power to en-
force the laws we now have on
our statute books for the fegula-
tion of railroad rates, it will have
done one good thing at least.
The Supreme Court has found a
flaw in the law which enables the
railroads to snap their fingers in
it's face, and the measure re-
ferred to, S. B. 1,439, il passed
would patch that flaw and en-
able the provisions Of right aud
Justice to be carried out. a
lobby of the large shipping ia
terests, which are enabled to
benefit by the rebates and draw
backs given them by the rail-
roads will fight the passage Of
this measure; but the people
the great masses of small ship
pers and their customers-de-
mand that the Interstate Com
merce Commission be made use
full by the passage of this
strengthening bill, prepared by
them for the purpose of the gen
eral good.

years. Have they not omerited
| different treatment at the hands
OF a populist convention? We
have been in every democratic
committee meeting or conven-
tion in the district since 1890
with one exception) and know
that the loyal, working, reliable
democrats have, year after year,
faithfully stood by the populist
nominee, believing and hoping
that the followers of the populist
faith were honest and earnest in
their endeavors for better gov
ernment on democratic lines:
They have had in view always
a uniting of all elements oppos-
ing that common enemy of the
people, the republican party,
and have time and again sue
cessfully won other democrats to
the cause.
We did not ask the nomination
of Mr.. Duval or Mr.. Rose be-
cause of the simple fact that
they were democrats. We
did not demand a recognition of
the PARTY, but of the MAN.
Claud Duval had Loyalty stood
with the action of his party, aid
had-as hundreds of other demo-
Gratis in the district did-given
his time and his means in sup
port OF the populist nominee.
Every word of this statement
you know, reader, to be true.
Do YOU ask "what are the demo-
Gratis going to do about it?''
AS one democrat, who believes
he voices the sentiments OF the
democrats of Barton county "a
county which has remained more
loyal to the fusion forces than
Sedgwick county, we ask that
Mr.. Campbell be withdrawn from
the race, and that Claud Duval
be made the nominee of both or
ganEations, in fact, as he would
have been had the will of the two
conventions been carried out.
81 HAVE always given it as my
decided opinion that no nation
has a right to intermeddle in the
internal concerns of another;
that everyone has a right to
form and adopt whatever gov
ernment they like best to live
under themselves. Separated as
we are by a world of water from
other nations, we shall, if we are
wise, surely avoid being drawn
into the labyrinth of their poll
tics and involved in their de-
structive wars. America may
think herself happy in having
the Atlantic for a barrier. y
George Washington.
If GEORGE had uttered those
trnths in these days of McHan-
nah confidence games he
would have been denounced as a
'traitor" by every little cuckoo
republican paper in the land.
The next conventions of inter-
est to Barton county democrats
will be the democrat and popu-
list senatorial conventions at
Ellinwood, May 18th, to nomi-
nate a man to succeed Senator
John Armstrong of Barton
county. It's practically con-
ceded that the candidate should
be from Rice county, although
there is at least one good man
spoken of from Stafford county.
1t is the Judgment of the DEMO
Graf that both the conventions
at Ellinwood should adopt
strong and unmistakable resolu-
tions demanding an adjustment,
in some manner, of the Congress
sional muddle in both the 7th
and the 9th districts. We can
not, at this time, afford to di-
vide the forces opposed to repub-
hcanism in Kansas.
