SMOKED OUT

SMOKED OUT
THE TRANSCRIPT was moi
looking for trouble last week as
the Euening Journal would fain
believe. On the contrary we
were hunting for just what we
got, a ''plain talk" on the Jour
mails position. It has been throw,
ing out hints and insinuations for
sometime and we desired to have
it express itself before the State
Convention. We were even more
successful than we hoped for.
Quoting from the Journal, "We
do not assume to lead anybody.
We are concerned in telling the
truth as we see it. And we wish
to say that no real Regular Re-
publican has ever had occasion
to seriously criticise our political
policy. We are expressing the
views of no one man, but in gen.
eral we are expressing that COM
posite view which is known as
Regular Republieanism." !" Now,
if these words mean anything,
they mean exactly what The
TRANSCRIPT stated last week,
"that. the standard of Republi-
canism is a blind obedience to
the dictates Of the Journal. !" The
State Convention on Tuesday
made the best answer to the
Journal possible, when it chose
as Delegates to the National Con-
vention and as members of the
State Committee men who are
earnestly in favor of such a un-
ion of the Republican voters of
this State as will result in Sc
curing its three electoral votes
to Theodore Roosevelt and the
election Of a Republican Cover
nor, and other State and County
officers. That is the position The
TRANSCRIPT has steadfastly
held. We are no less earnestly
opposed to Addickism than is
the Journal, and the mass of
Republicans in this County and
of Union Republicans in the two
lower counties, of whom we spoke
are also opposed to Addickism.
The Journal has in its columns
the past winter, printed several
letters from Union Republicans
that bear out our assertion.
In answer to the Journals
query "why should they want to
attend a Regular Republican con-
vention," we think it was BE-
cause they were Republicans, and
as such conceived that they had a
right to attend, orat least to have
voters given chance to reject
them in favor of some better
men. That they were there is a
cold fact at this date.
AS to the contemplate fling
about "chronic Office seekers, we
can only say that the shoe does
mob fit. us; therefore, we cannot
wear it. The editor of the Jour-
nal must have a short memory if
he has forgotten how he tried to,
SECURE an appointment only few
months ago. Every political Of
fee which the writer has held,
and the number is one, has come
to him by the direct vote Of the
majority Of the people. When
he wants another, he will secure
it in the same way, if possible.
If impossible, he will grin and
bear it.
In closing this subject (for we
consider that the State Conven-
tion has decided in our favor) we
desire to say that the best evi-
dence of the attitude Of THE
TRANSCRIPT in the past,is shown
in the vote Of st. Georges Hun
dred. It is the banner Republi-
can Hundred of the State, with
only 40 votes for the Union Re-
publican candidate for Represen-
tative. The future must speak
for itself.
