California has an anti-susion law
similar to the ons in this state. It
vas recently attacked in the supreme
SQUIRT and declared u: constitutional
o1zthe ground that it was an abridg-
ment OF the constitutional right of an
e,e tor to accept nominations from as
many political parties Us saw fit TO
nominate him. This is hard blow
to the lawmakers of this state who
have sought to deprive our people of
their rights under the guise of pro-
tecting their morals. The whole con-
tention of the republicans on this
proposition has been absurd from
the beginning. as every platform is
compromise of conflicting ideas, no
party being absolutely harmonious
on principles. Every nomination is
as a rule simply the will of the larg-
est number OF the party in convention.
So the fusion of two or more parties,
as in the recent defeat of Tammany
in New York, when MIR. Low received
eleven nominations, is the effor of
men, who may not agree in every
thing, to get together on some candi-
date who will the most nearly repre-
sent them all, in order to overthrow
who does not in any way re-
present any of them. All political
parties should have the greatest lib
erty in choosing candidates, otherwise
q dominant and corrupt party might
continue itself in power without limit.

OFFICIAL PAPER of Edwards Co.
SaiutatOrY,

With this issue the Graphic enters
its twenty-seventh year. For the past
nine years the paper has been under
the present management. During
these years its business has greatly
Increased and its circulation more
than doubled. necessitating the en-.
larging from a seven. column four.
page journal to six columns and eight
pages. We feel that the people OF
this community have given us their
loyal support and in return we have
endeavored to give them a clean,
newsy sheet, devoted to the interests
of the citizens of the city of Kinsley
and Edwards county. We believe
our efforts have been appreciated and
that our association, both in business
and social affairs, has been mutually
pleasing and profitable.
In beginning the new year we desire
to thank, our friends for the kindly
courtesy extended to us in the past
and to ask o continuance of the same,
.pledging ourself for the future, as in
the past, TO advocate such measures
as We believe TO be for the best inter-
ests OF our citizens and county.
