Why the West Is Republican.

Several explanations are given by
the Democrats as to why the West, in
the recent Congressional elections,
went almost solidly Republican. Sen
ator Dubois, of Idaho, who was form
erly a Republican,, and who now hates
the Republicans more than does any
old-line Democrat, says the recent ma
tional irrigation act gave the Repup-
licans the victory in the far Western
states mo legislation by Congress-"
he adds, ''has been of more import
ance than that providing for irriga-
tion since the passage of the home
stead act" Even the homestead laws
may prove of less Importance to the
try The senator also takes occasion
to say that Mr., Roosevelt was the
first President to recommend that
legislation, and the people insist on
giving him the credit for it," Ma
tional issues, however, according to
him, did not have any influence on
the result in the far Western states.
The senator is partly right and
partly wrong. The national irrIga-
ton act undoubtedly had much To do
with the result of the election in all
the states west of the Missouri river.
Every Republican knew long before
the election that that law would poll
many votes for the party. Every Re
publican, and also every Democrat,
knew that President Roosevelts ac-
tive interest in the irrigation matter
would tell heavily in his and the par
tvs favor in the canvass. But there
were other questions besides irriga-
tion in the campaign. Irrigation had
no influence in Minnesota, Iowa nor
in the States between the Mississippi
and the Rocky Mountains, and north
of the Ohio. Irrigation cannot ac-
count for the increased majority for
the Republicans in Ohio. It had
nothing to do with the large Republi-
can pluralitieS in Indiana, Illinois, |
Michigan and Wisconsin. 10 none of
those States does the irrigation law
apply. In none of those States was
the law mentioned by the Republic |
cans or Democrats on the stump. The
tariff, the money question and nation |
al expansion were the issues which |

campaign in most OF the Western !
States. These are the issues which
brought victory to the Republican
party.
1t is well known to the majority of |
the votors of the United States that
the Republican party stands for pub
lie spirit, patriotism and sanity in the
treatment of all national questions.
The Republicans course on every |
great issue which has arisen since the l
party-much more than forty years
ago-was founded has commended it,

Congressman Curtis owns up to

If it cost Curtis $4,000 to elect one

the Anthony's to defeat the other

The childish, puerile and vicious
