THE time for holding the repub-
Hcan county nominating conven-
ton is difficult problem for the
brethren 10 solve. A great many
of the rank and file want it held in
July or August but the bosses who
use the party to crafty their
own selfish desires want to wait
until the last day, which would
throw it into October. The party
record is SO bad, both state and
locally, that they want as short a
campaign as possible in which to
face the outraged people.

The fact that the republican
platform declares for ship subsi-

Subsidies of one sort and another
IS that party's long suit and its

one OF the prime reasons why there
are SO many powerful trusts in this
country.

Gov. LAFoLLETTE's picture has
been turned to the wall by the re-

There is no place in the republican
party for a LaFollette or a Pingree.

The old machine in Kansas

+ THE republican newspapers,
following the nomination OF
President Roosevelt, contained
voluminous stories about his
bravery and spotless record in
private life. 1t is to be regretted
that all of these characteristics did

to enforce the criminal clause o
the antitrust law would be quite
acceptable to the people.
