the event that Bryan can now reverse the YER
dict of 1896 and 1898, the following gold-stand-
ard men will be succeeded by free-slver senat-
o1s: Baker OF Kansas, Caffery of louisiana,
whose successor, Mr.. Foster, is free-silver
man; CATER OF Montana, Chandler of New
Hampshire, Elkins of West Virginia, Lindsey
OF Kentucky, whose SUCCESSOR, now elected, is
a free-silver man; Shoup of Idaho, Thurston of
Nebraska, Warren of Wyoming, Wolcott of
Colorado-Io.
'Take from the god-standard votes these.
ten, and 1t Is reduced to A, and added to the
free-slver vote, and you have 46 for free silver
"lt may be said that Chandler's successor
will be gold-standard senator, and he probably
will Ie; but if Bryan sweeps the country, we
are as much likely to lose Nelson in Minnesota,
Collum in Illinois and Mcmillan in Michigan as
to gain that one. The enemy will start with
majority of two, and will be as likely to gain
as to lose.
"Now, coming to March 4, 1905, and while
the Republicans cannot gain man, they will
almost surely lose Deboe of Kentucky, Fair
banks of Indiana, Hansbrough of North Da-
kota, Kyle of South Dakota, Mason of Illinois,
Prlchard of Illinois, Simon of Oregon, We'll
lington of Maryland, if he has not gone
already; and Ohio with Foraker and California
with Perkins. The two Pla.ts and Spooner
would at least be i'll great peril The reaction
which can give the election to Bryan would
give thirty-fve Democratic majority in the
house and drive all the weak senators over to
safety, 1t will be easy to capture here and
there one
"But if Chandler's successor should be gold
standard man, then each side would have forty
five votes, with an outspokcn leader of free
silver in the chair Of vice president to cast the
decisive vote.
''It follows as surely as the day follows the
night, if Bryan is elected, and calls the extra
session of congress he has promised, he can
draft a bill as he did the Kansas City platform,
send it tc the congress and demand, in a like
temper with his Lincoln ultlmatum, the passage
OF bill to conform to the platform on which
he was elected, and it will be done
"Fortunately, it is not too late to sound the
alarm and rally the gold-standard forces. The
miserable cry of trusts by the organizers of
trusts, and the silly and senseless cry of impe-
rialism, are but the stalking horses of the Dem
cratic hosts, whose real purpose is foriid in the
plank OF their platform which Bryan made as
the ultimatum of his acceptance of a nomina-
ton he had been working for for nearly four
years. "
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1900-09-28

Manufacturers alone are capable of designing
tariff measures.
Trusts alone, can legisate for trusts.
Teddy adds TO the wisdom of government
by the few by declaring that the rich alone
ought to hold office.
The farmer, miner, mechanic, operative,
merchant or professional man is not in gov
ernment, because the government is out of the
hands of the people, and administered in the
interests of few men, by few men.
Who is to blame? If the farmers have no
more sense than to stand by, with open mouths,
and swallow the Roosevelt worms, is Teddy to
blam,?
1t would seem to be fair deal for the poor
mar to hold office. 1t would seem to be fair
deal for all the people to have something to say
in finance, tariff or trusts, since all the people
will either be injured or benefited through the
governments action or naction.
The mass of Republican voters are swallow
ing the worms and insects of their mother
birds selection.
If we have common sense, we ought to know
by this time whether not the Hanna Roosevelt
diet is nourishing. If the common people fat
ten on gold standard, high tariff and innumer-
able trusts, then we will have to admit that the
Hanna kite is great flyer, and Teddy fine
tail.
1t looks to me as II the other fellows, who
made the kite and tackled on the Teddy tail,
were having all the fun as we'll as possessing
the exclusive ownership. l am aware that it
looks differently to Republican. His mouth
is open, and these are holes for eyes, but where
are the eyes?
Anybody ought to know that if the govern
ment was turned over to preachers, the end
would be the burning of few heretics.
1t the government was turned over to farm
ers, it would be run with view to ten-cent
beef and two-dollar wheat.
The government turned over to bankers,
manufacturers and corporations, is run in the
interest of bankers, manufacturers and trusts.
Now let us add Teddy's worm of the Offices
for the rich, and we have the model Hanna re-
public of government of the few, by the few
and for the few.
Give the moneyed interests the great machin.
cry of even republic, and give the engineer
ing to the rich, and it is just one step to
monarchy. I am free to admit that would
rather be under monarchy than plutocracy
The kite to which Teddy is a tail is plutoc-
racy in everything but name. 1t will be COM
plete in all its parts when the rich seize the in
Auential offices.
1t is presumed that Teddy was nominated for
the vice presidency in response to that demand
of the plutocrats that the rich should have the
Offices
1t is not Teddy who is the kite-tail, but the
principle. Confined to Teddy the tail might
not be so Objectionable, but as principle, it is
to be fought as wrong in theory, since it
would be fatal to practice.

HOLDS THE SAME VIEWS.
Breidenthal Takes Nothing Back

The Republican state committee is circuat-
ing letter written by Bank Commissioner
Breidenthal in the early COS, in which he
states his position on the liquor and woman s
suffrage questions. His position OH these ques-
tion' has been the subject of considerable
discussion by the Republicans since he became
candidate for governor. He declared that he
still occupied the same position as he did at
tn time of writing the letter, exec pit tn It nJw,
he iavo,s direct legislation as a remedy for the
existing evils, instead OF constitutional con-
vrnion.-State Register.

Gen. John N. Palmer Dead.

Gen. John M. Palmer, late United States
senator from Illinois, who WIS the gold Demo
crat candidate for president in 1896, died last
Tuesday morning, very suddenly. He COM
planned of pain in his chest, Monday morn
ing, and slept uneasily the following night, and
about O'Clock Tuesday morning, Mrs. Palmer
called physician, who did not think the Gen
erals condition alarming. He awoke about 7,
still complaining. He talked to his wife few
moments, then fell into doze, and soon ex-
pi red. He was 50 years old.

10 McDILL'S MUSINGS.
The Kite-Tail.

Teddy Roosevelt is the most suitable tail to
Hanna's kite that could have been selected in
all this great country of 10000, 900 of people.
Teddy has said, i'll substance, that rich men
ought to go into politics, because they have
means and can afford to, and have leisure and
could spare time. Teddy's position on holding
Office is like the position of Republican leaders
on finance and other questions.
Bankers alone, from the Republican stand
point, can formulate financial measures.

is the father-in-law of Arthur Capper, Of the
Mail and Breeze declares he will vote this
year as he shot forty years ago-for human lib

which means that he will vote for Bryan and

law little Of his own patriotism.

Bradbury, Fitzsimmons. Long, Meg
rail, McMechen and Scheehle. The
reading of the minutes of the pre-
vious meeting was dispensed with, and
the clerk read the report of the COM
mittee on Health, recommending that
the contract for hauling garbage to
the city crematory be awarded to
Chas. Becker.
name of Chas. Becker and substitute
Lawrence Coffey.
Mr.. Healy asked for the difference
in the two bids, and the reply was
made that Coffey's was more than
S2,100 lower than Becker's. Mr.. Healy
asked members of the committee II
they would conduct their own private
business in such a manner Mr.. Kin
delberger said it was demonstrated that
it was impossible to do the work at the
figure named by Coffey. Mr.. Caldwell
replied that Coffey offered to furnish
satisfactory bond for the performance
of his contract. tIo1n#
Its a matter of dollars and cents"
said Mr.. Killeen. 81 feel safe in say
ing that no man on that committee
would give a contract in such a man
ner if it were in his private business.
Mr.. Coffey answered all the questions
put by the Health Officer s~atisfactor-
lily"
Mr.. Miller took issue with Mr.. Cald-
we'll upon the point that it was a mat
ter of dollars and cents. He alleged
that every time a contract was award
ed to the lowest bidder, the work was
done unsatisfactory, and the contrac-
tor was subjected to frequent fines in
the Police Court.
The roll was called upon the amend
ment, resulting as follows:
Ayes-Messrs Burke, Caldwell, Healy

Weisgerber, Zeigler-10.
Noes-Messrs. Beckett, Bloomfield,
Bradbury, Chew Fair, Fox, Kalbitzer,

er, Radcliffe, Mr.. President-13.
The amendment was defeated by a
strict party vote, and the recommended
ton of the committee was approved by
a vote of IA to IL. Mr.. Korn voting
with the Republicans.
In the First Branch Mr.. Gartley
moved to substitute the name of
Coffey for Becker, but the recommen-
dation went through by a vote of 3 to
g..
