County Ticket.

kicking going on among the Re-
publlcans in Chanute since the
county convention.
Republicans of this city have
become so accustomed to vote any
kind of ticket in city election, to
support Democrats againt Republi-
cans and fight any kind of ticket,
let it be called what it may, that
party lines and party fealty have be-
come somewhat obscure and many
we'll known Republicans are still
declaring that they will not support
the nominees of the Republican
party at the coming election. We
are willing to concede that in our
judgement some mistakes were
made at this convention from a
POLITICAL expediency stand that seem
to have been uncessaay and unex-
pected.
The results are considerable
soreness and some talk of slaughter
at the polls. 1t is fact rather un-
usual at conventions, that nobody
seems to have got things fixed just
as he wished them.
We are willing to admit that we
would have changed a few things
had the whole matter been lett tc
us. But, since it was not. nor any
part of it, we will frankly confes:
that there are few sore spots or
our anatomy about the size OF
blanket, but they have been 81
anointed by the healing salve o
satisfaction we got from other part
of the deal that we think in a shor
time we shall have entirely recov
: cred from all i'll effects.
It is very rare indeed that all par
lies get just what they want in
county convention and it is quit
e common for some to feel sore fo
t. awhile, but we have seen men G
+ into convention when right an
Justice seemed to be all on theirs sid
), and get set down on very hard, an
n have seen these same men tur
e around and support the ticket yea
ously at the following election.
!; That seems to be the only way
! keep up a party organization an
keep the forces lined up for til
It greater conflict.
Il There is an effort on the part
j; opposition papers In the county
aggravate any i'll telling that ma
,. exist by working on the prejudice
r of the dissatisfied ones, thereby e'
5 pecting to gain an advantage forth
n Democratic party. 1t is usual
y expected that partizans who g
e into a primary and win or lose
e the convention will support tn
l. nominees. Should candldat
enter a contest and announce bt
- forehand that he would not abid
: by the decesion of the convention
he would stand a poor show of n
ceiving any consideration at th
IS hands of the convention.
This being the rule, it is unde
stood that parties who participate
g these preliminary contests are vi
II tually pledged to abide by the d.
cesion of the convention.
After all, when the hot bloc
: cools down little, probably it wi
S be discovered that no great wror
was done and that the Republics
4 party will still live to do busine
:, at the old stand.

How Campaigns Effect Business

A writer IN the Worlds Work
traces through long term of years
the effect of presidential campaigns
on commerce, industry and finance.
He finds that the presidential year
is nearly always marked by an ap
preciable suspension in the country's
activities. In every presidential
year there is an increase in business
failures, with an increase in the
aggregate Liabilities of bankrupt con-
Germs. Money goes out of the
country during our presidential cam
paigns. There was an excess OF
exports of gold over the imports in
1860, 1864, 1868, 1872, 1876, 1884,
1892, 1896, 1900; or in every presl-
Dental year during the perid except
1880 and 1888. Since 1896 there
has been but one year, presiden
tlal one, in which the gold exports
exceeded the imports. In most OF
the presidential years there is a
decrease in the money circulation.
There usually is a decrease in the
loans and discounts; in the bank
clearing; in the customs receipts; in
the exports of merchandise. Stocks
almost invariably fall on the mar
ket.
There is nothing very surprising
in this showing. The handspring
of business is feeling of confidence
and security on the part of those
who engage in it. Every presiden
tial election has questions of fnan
cial or economic policy involved in
it. The possibility of change II
the tariff is of itself enough to ma
terially affect the industries of tht
country when there is a question
of finance. All those who deal il
money commence to reduce thei
activities and to proceed will
greater caution. There never ha
been a presidential year which wa
not accompanied by some distur
bance in prices, with generally
falling tendency, and this mean
commercial and industrial trouble
of a serious kind. 1t is to be no
ticed that large enterprises or darini
undertakings are seldom Launched
in a presidential year. In every
department of financial and indus
trial life there is the feeling that W,
must wait and see what the election
will bring forth.
Recently, according to tn,
Worlds Work, leading New Yorl
banker made a tour of the countr,
in order to view business condition
as affected by the presidential year
He sums up the results of his in
quiries as follows:
Undoubtedly the political con
test is having, and will continue tC
have an unsettling influence on trad'
but the effect is not equal through
out the country nor among all line
of business. Through the West, tn
Northwest and the Southwest ther'
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1904-05-13

is much less said about the election
from the business point of view than
in the East. Perhaps this is due in
part to the widespread belief in
trade circles in that part of the
country that the result of the elec-
ton is not in doubt. President
Roosevelt's election is in their opin-
ion assured. But it was also due
to the conviction that the prosper
ity of the West depends on the crops
and not upon politics. The talk
was, therefore, full OF the crops,
and the prediction was made that
if they averaged well, the business
of the country would be active and
profitable. Among the
manufacturers, however, their in
terests being somewhat bound up in
the tariff and the question of
governmental policy toward indus
trial corporations, there was much
more concern regarding the course
of the political campaign. And it
was noticeable that this concern in
creased the nearer l got to the
East"
In commenting on its own pre-
sentation of conditions in presiden-
tial years, the Worlds Work says
that "one year out of every four
may be said to be lost to business
enterprise on a large scale:" that
"it is the price the American people
pay for republican form of govern
ment." However, we believe that
the halt called in every presidential
year is not without its valuable uses.
1t forms sort of stocktaking per-
iod. 1t brings the business of the
country back to a more conserva-
tive basis, cuts out the deadwood
and tones down the eagerness of
speculation. II would be hard of
course to find justification for a
year like 1896, when the whole
business fabric was threatened by
the attempt to adopt a dishonest
and regulatory currency, as for
1898, when one of the political
parties threatened the protection
policy on which the industrial en-
terprises of the country put up their
main reliance. But in general
way it is useful to have a few
months of pause in the march of
progress. There is often as much
danger in over stimulation and
over booming as in real stagnation.
The presidential year gives business
a chance to look around and take
its bearings. 1t checks up the Wild
cat enterprises and Sits out the
incompetent and dishonest. And,
perhaps, in Its last analysis, il may
have good enough about il to nearly
balance the obvious evils.-Kansas
