President Roosevel's warning to the republican
leaders Of the South conveyed in the erse remark to
the Texas chairman that he would rather repub-
lican congressman from Texas than have the entire
delegation from that state in the national convention
has produced something akin to CONSERVATION in
southern political circles democratic as well as repub-
lican That some such admonition has long been
needed was only too apparent Heretofore the sole
ambition Of southern republican leaders, as class,
has been to control the delegation to the national con-
ventons so that they might have claim to the pat
ronage Of their state 1t was theirnterest to remain
in the minority, since they did not want any repre-
sentative in Congress who might have prior lien
upon the offices to be distributed. The result has
been little no progress the sole interests exhibited
being in the Presidential campaigns the selection
of delegates The Presidents tart comment upon that
sort OF republicanism has convinced the persons re-
sponsible that this policy must be abandoned, that
work for the party will count for more at the White
House than any amount of hustng for delegates.
Southern democrats arenot a little alarmed at the
changed prospects. In several districts the republi
cans if cambly led, have fighting chance to elect
republican congressman. Thus eNhored to activity by
the President there should be corresponding injection
of vigor into the campaign and beginning made to-
wards the establishment Of a militant republican
party in the south. Pittsburg Dispatch

The continuous ovations given President Roose-
welt in the New England states have made the demo
cratic editors so sick that they trying to convince
themselves that he ought to belong TO the democratic
party That is where they are greatly in error The
people the past several years have not been in the habit
Of giving the democratic party any support worthy OF
note and certainly ovatons, and it is not TO be en-
pected that they would do so now, since the fractional
clements OF that party, to the recognized Leaders,
grow uncomfortable in anger when anything good is
said about another member Of their party The party
the President belongs to suits the people and his be-
longing to it suits them too That is the real thing
that is worrying the democratic editors

Mckinney in his letter of acceptance intimatcs
that some republicans induced him accept the nom
nation for congress. That is sad blow to the many
democratic sages in this district who are always
ous to give counsel on all matters of state and politics.
but it may be that he has lost all confidence in their
wisdom and again there more than bare possibility
that his views and theirs SO wide apart that they
have nothing in common and they refuse to succor
him in this hour of need.

From the tone Of addresses made by the Demo
cratic campaign speakers this year. that party is dead
against the prosperity Of the country and does not be
eve in the peoples making money. They want the
country to return to the starvation period Ceveland'
administration 1t is the worst campaign cry that
party has been guilty Of for years and it seems strange
that the party has any patience with itself We are
quite sure the people have none with it.

Mckinney in his acceptance says it is his duty to
purify things political in this district The earlier
part of his life might well have been devoted in that
way There was need of it when the democratic hood
lers robbed the state treasury The people purified
the affairs Of state, after they had stood it score
years, and the people content to keep them pure
by keeping in the political party that redeemed thu
state.

The Fainnont Evening Times is greatly worried
about what the Telegram has to say about the demo-
cratic nominee for congress- and yet it peends to be
somewhat of an independent paper. 1t looks like it
has laid its republican editor the shelf to take rest
Throughout the campaign.

The die is cast and Judges O. Cas-
we'll and G. w. Burnham will be re-
nominated by the unanimous vote of
the ensuing judicial convention. At
their convention held on last Satur-
day the republicans of Marshall county
settled the contest by endorsing not
only its own candidate but the can
didate OF Benton county as we'll. While
The Herald regrets that neither its
townslnan, Judge ]. w. Willett, nor
Mr.. 3. c. Ebersole, of Toledo, is to be
given an opportunity to demonstrate
his fitness for a place on the bench, it
bows to the will of the majority and
pledges to the successful candidates
its loyal and enthusiastic support.
Such will not only be the attitude of
this paper but of the entire republican
party in this county including Messrs.
Ebersole and Willett. For Judges
Burnham and Caswell we have long
had unbounded respect Their record on
the bench has been such as to commend
them to the people. Their honesty
has ever been acknowledged and the
fact that they know the law has never
been questioned. The district has
reason to congratulate itself that it is
to retain the men the bench. This
much we may say without abating in
the least our interest in those worthy
gentlemen of our own county whose
candidacy has been SO abruptly termin-
ated. We have felt satisfied that
either Judge Willett or Mr.. Ebersole
WOULD make a good judge. We do not
wish to be understood as voicing a
change of sentiment in that regard by
giving expression TO the confidence we
have long had in the sitting judges of
this district. The contest is over and
