reflect the sentiment of the district
through the papers in the different
counties, without bias to either can
didate. We have clipped promiscu-
ously, endeavoring to present all
phases of the question, as argued by
the friends of both candidates:
"A MORTGAGE DID IT,
HI. O. Haugen of Kensett, nephew
of Congressman Haugen, was in the
city today to remove the press, type
and other materials of the Farmers
Institute to Kensett where it will
probably be sold to satisfy the mortg-
age the Haugens have against it-Ma-
son City Globe Gazette.
The above is full and complete ex-
PLANTATION of the great endorsement of
Congressman Haugen by the Farmers
Institute of week or SO ago. 1t is
hardly necessary to say anything
more, but it might be we'll to observe
that endorsing oneself in ones own
paper would be better done by omit
ting false statements against the
other fellow. -Chas. City mtelligen-
Ger.
This reminds us of the fact that but
very few papers in the district, COM
paratively speaking, are supporting
Mr.. Haugen for a denomination. If
we have counted right, forty six
papers i'll the district have either
spoke out for James E. Blythe or
against the return of Mr.. Haugen, and
the number of papers advocating Mr.
Haugen's return to congress is very
small indeed. This suggests the
thought, are there other papers in the
same class with the Farmers Institute
in the district that are supporting Mr..
Haugen-supporting him because of
postoffice or other kind of mortgage. -

Of the course pursued by the two sena-

the same subject in the platform
adopted by the Republicans Of MINES

senators from that state also opposed
the administrators Cuban policy and
temporary chairman Of the convention:
yet the platform contained these two
significant planks:
We cordially indorsc the able and
patriotic administration of President

interests of the entire country. and pledge
him the earnest support of the Republic
cans of Minnesota in all his efforts to con-

dent Roosevelt in his annual message to
the LNllth congress. We favor reel
procity with Cuba, as urged by President
Roosevelt.
In but one state whose senators
fought their party on this Cuban reci
procity issue has there been hesitancy
in voicing popular approval of the ex-
ecutive's course. The Michigan con-
vention, dominated by Senator Bur-
rows, took an ignoble straddle, lodging
the issue by generalities. Everywhere
else. the party has responded with en-
thusasm and determination to the
presidents leadership. 1t is already ap-

u 70 REASON has been advanced
of a public nature why the
L Republican voters of this
congressional district should
deny to the present member cordial
denomination. His record in congress
Is not attacked. No reflection has been
made upon the fidelity ana efficiency
with which he has attended to his Of
fetal duties at Washington. The only
basis of opposition yet disclosed has its
origin in political differences and in re-
sentiments growing out of them.
1t Is human nature for those who are
disappointed in political aspirations to
seek revenge. and we do not expect
human nature to be revolutioniZed for

consider that their personal grievances.
real or imaginary-and most of them
are imaginary-are of greater I'M
portance than the best interests Of the
district at Washington are acting
within their rights in opposing Mr.. Con-
nell vigorously. Let them now ease
their feelings at his expense if they
ticket loyal support after it shall be
nominated.
But this class must number only a
small part of the voting strength of the
Republican party in Lackawanna
county The remaining voters should
approach the choice OF congressman
without personal prejudice or bias and
aim only to do at the primaries what
Is best for the party and the district.
We think that if these voters will study
the matter carefully, Weighing the
records and abilities for service of the
two candidates, they will have little
difficulty in arriving at selection
which will commend itself to the peo-
pie at the November polls and be in
strumental in furthering the large in
terests at stake.
Attempts to whip up class feeling are
unworthy of the occasion. Let the con-
test he fair and manly and let the best
man win.
