A TRAILER PARTY.

Democrats have queer ways. For
forty years they have never held a nat
ienal convention till after the Republic
cans held theirs. They wait, seemingly,
to see what the Republicans will advocate
80 that they may "take the other side.''
Their presidential candidates adopt the
same tactics. A week or two ago 1t was
announced that Mr.. Parker would not
give out his letter Of acceptance until
Mr.. Roosevelt had given bis to the public,
and now that the latter has spoken or
rather written, Mr.. Parker will probably
soon make public bis views. In this state
the same amusing policy was pursued.
They held their conventions long after
the Republicans held theirs, and Dor.
rowed everything they dared to borrow
from the Republican state platform, al.
most adopting the phrassology. Then
they appointed their opening ten days
after the Republicans held theirs, 80 as
to give their candidate for Governor am.
pie to 30 his opponent one or maybe two
better, 80 to speak. This camp. following
style Is characteristic Of the Democratic
party 1t seems to have no positive con-
victlon on any subject. 1t Is a mere
negatlon In politics. ltls not for any
thing. It Is simply against things. Queer
old party, isn't it?-Hd Hoch's Marion

THE BLINDNESS OF DALE.

THE BLINDNESS OF DALE.
1t Is quite evident Judge Dale ID not
one Of those fellows who readily grssps
a situation. TO begin with: be started
In by throwing punches and baskets OF
boquets as Senator Chester |. Long
and followed this by expressions Of
"deepest sympathy" to the senator and
old machine crowd, so.called for the
"humlliatlun imposed upon them" by
the defeat Of Governor Bailey. AT the
time of the stats convention at Wichita
there was some rather bitter feeling Oh
the part Of some Of the friends of Gov.
ernor Bailey because of bis turning
down for second term and there were
audible mutterings. Judge Dale Lying
In the convention town and hearing
these expressions Of disapproval
from some of the more outspoken dele.
gates and spectators cOntended that the
'machine" would not support Mr.. Hoch,
and that there might be a chance for a
Democrat about his avoirdupols and
build, hence bis candidacy. No one
heard of Judge Dale as a candidate for
governor until after the Republican state
conventlon-aud /. might be in place to
remark that no one has heard much Of
his candidacy since bis nomination was
made-but the mistake the Judge made
was in confounding the noise created by
a few hot. heads and incorporates to be
revolt against the nominees of the con.
vention. In disregard of the jolt given
him by Senator Long along this line; Of
the harmonious and enthusiastic manner
In which the campaign Is being con-
Quoted; by the Marion rally which was
participated In by as many formerly
"machine" as "anti- machine" roOters,
all whooping it up for Roosevelt and
Hoch, the Judge continues to talk Of the
great wrong perpetrated upon Governor
Bailey by Mr.. Hoch taking the nomIna.
tion for Governor. The purpose and the
hope, Of course, Of the affable Judge in
this bypocritical role is to keep alive and
intensity the feeling In Governor Bailey
and bis friends Of bitter resentment
toward tile present head of the state
ticket, that be may be the beneficiary II
carried to the polls. Judge Dale an
nOuncsG be will not discuss national
Issues. We don't blame him, as nation.
al Issues as proposed by Democracy are
bitter pills devoid Of sweetsned coating
to the Democrats Of Kansas. We have
great compassion for Judge Dale because
we know be Is iD difficult position
about as much real compassion and sym.
patty as he has for the "machine" over
the licking 1t got last spring. But
frankly, II occurs to US that the Judge
should by this time get onto the real sit-
uation; and thlsis, that be can do no
business with the friends OF Governor
Bailey for they are real Republicans and
will be found on election day voting and
working for Roosevelt, Hoch and the
ticket.
