The True Reason Why.

So far both the Senatorial and
State candidates have met with poor
Encouragement in regard to the at
tendance upon the campaign meet.
ings. As yet the meetings have been
very slimly attended by the voters
The audiences have been made ur
mostly of women and children with
sprinkling of qualified electors
There has but little or no interest
manifested in the campaign. At this
time it seems that the chances for
success depends almost entirely upon
that candidate who has the ability tc
persuade the most personal friends
to 60 to the polls and vote for him.
This lethargy on the part of the 7c-
ters is being generally commented
upon and even the candidates them
selves are complaining of the indifer-
ence of the people. Various causes
have been assigned as the reason for
this lukewarmness, the most promi-
nent one of which being the busy
season among the farmers, but the true
reason, We think, can be traced back
to the action of the State convention
in shutting off all debate on the mo-
mentous issues which now confront
the American people. By it's action
that convention has gagged the can
didates and bound them to rejected
and dead platform and forbade them
to discuss live issues more suitable
to the condition of cur people. The
candidates are, therefore, compelled
to repeat their same old story from
place to place like school children
repeating their A, B. C's. The meet
ings have been robbed of every ele'
ment of interest and the people do
not feel justified in losing a couple
Of days from their farm work
just to be told over and over again
what their grandfathers did in the
long ago. What they want to
learn is how to obtain the highest
prices for their products; how to
make bread and meat and c'otEe
themselves and their loved ones; pay
their debts, and lay up something to
support them when the infrmities Of
old age overtakes them. These things
are of all absorbing interest to all
conditions of people and to learn
this lesson they would make any rea-
sonable sacrifice. But, alas! these
beneficial lessons cannot now be
taught because the powers that be
in this State have said they are Re-
publican doctrines and contrary to
the teachings and traditions of
MIR. Thomas Jefferson.
