Mr.. FAIRBANKS PATRIOTIC.
Offered His Services During the War
with Spain.


Washington, d. c., Aug. Ex-senator
Fairbanks of Indiana, the vice presiden-
tial candidate came near being comrades
in arms with President Roosevelt in the
war with Spain. Few, if any, of his
friends are aware that he volunteered
his services in defense Of the flag. Sen
ator Fairbanks has never alluded to it
in conversation, and only by the merest
chance has it become known. Requir
ing a biographical sketch of the vice
presidential candidate for campaign pur-
poses, the Republican National Commit
tee enlisted the services Of w. Fl. Smith
of indianapolis, well-knownI writer,
and a personal friend Of Senator Fair
banks. To aid him in his work Mr.
Smith was given access to a collection of
family papers, and among them he found
letter dated May 3, 1895, from Gov.
Mount of Indiana to Senator Fairbanks
in response to the Senator's tender of his
services. The letter reads:
"My Dear Senator: Permit me to say in
reply to your patriotic tender Of your serv-
ices that I commend your loyalty to the
State and nation. The offer Of your sery-
ices as a soldier means that you are ready
to make any sacrifice for the preservation
Of the national honor.
Il beg to assure you that you can BEST
render that service In the United States
Senate. In this connection desire to com
mend your patriotic course. Your great
speech on the Cuban question was the argu-
ment of a statesman. / could not consent
to your leaving the Senate. Your constitu-
ents would protest. We need statesmen as
much as soldiers. We can fill the places of
soldiers much easier than the seats of
Senators.
fNo one can place a higher estimate than
I place upon your offer of your services to
the State as soldier, but above this Is my
measure of your services as a Senator"

THE FIRST VOTE.
Why Young Men Should Cast Their
First Ballot for Roosevelt.

Why Young Men Should Cast Their
First Ballot for Roosevelt.
A young mans first vote for Presi-
dent is the most important one he VIII
ever cast and may affect himself as we'll
as the country benefcially or the reverse.
The young American approaches his
twenty-frst birthday with a feeling Of
pride tinged with solemnity. He knows
that henceforth the constitution and laws
invest him with all the rights of citi-
ZenShip. No matter how well equipped
he may have been to exercise these
rights before, he cannot do so until he
is twenty-one years old. He has waited
impatiently fer the time when he could
vote, and long before it arrives he has
begun to consider carefully how he
should cast his first ballot. He remem-
bers how his father voted and decides
whether he will follow in his fathers
footsteps or not. He recalls what he
knows of history, weighs the platforms
and issues carefully, and tries to reach
a conscientious conclusion as to how he
should vote. This is right. He puts his
best thoughts and conscience into his
first vote, as he ought to.
No subsequent vote ever receives quite
the same careful thought The first vote
decides a young mans party affiliations,
and after that he is apt to follow in the
path in which he has started Hence
the Importance of starting right. Hun
dreds of thousands of men to-day are
proud because they cast their first vote
for Abraham Lincoln General Grant or
William Mckinley, while other hundreds
Of thousands are sorry that they cast
their first vote for the defeated oppo-
nents Of these men.
A young mans first vote for President
is the most important one he will ever
cast because it may determine the pO-
litical associations Of his whole life and
make or mar his career. Therefore,
every first voter should cast his ballot for
the student, author, soldier, patriot and
statesman, Theodore Roosevelt.

up from the roll stirred by the greedy
chasers-after plutocratic power there
arose to the surface. some bubbles of
the true democratic principle equal
rights and no privileges" under the
law these were perceived by the pub
lie, became popular and were approved.
The people were thoroughly aroused
and earnest; they abandoned the old
parties. and took hand at government
themselves; and to good purpose.
Plutocracy was "downed," though it
had dominated for more than half a
century; dominated SO long, that many
had given up hope and some had said
that it was divinely intended, as If it
were possible for God to sanction in
justice! The parties would have ruined
the republic. The people saved it.
Does any honest. intelligent man
deny that now the plutocratic powers
in the United States, as they express
themselves in the trusts and the money
combinations, especially privileged by
government authority, are today less
threatening than was the slavery oil
garchy that preceded the civil war?
STILLMAN DOUBLEDAY.

The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1904-12-08

Last week i showed part OF the the Grass
folly of the system of electing represen-
tatives in single member districts. Here
are more considerations of the same
kind. And l may remark, in passing,
that ''block vote" in multi-member
district, is just as bad; mean, giving
each elector as many equal votes as
there are members to be elected. 3
What. is the backbone and main
spring Of the tremendous political pow
er now welded by the party ma
chine?'' Mainly, the monopoly OF nom
nation. No one has now chance of
election unless he is chosen by a regu-
lar party convention There is usually
one republican and one democrat put
up in each constituency. Neither of
them may be acceptable to a large
proportion of the electors, but it is
Hobson's choice-these electors must
either vote for men they do not want
or stay at home, and, too often, they
do stay at home.
Under proportional representation
there would be such freedom of NOM
ination that any group of voters strong
enough in numbers to entitle them to
representative would be able to get
the very man they wanted, and to snap
their fingers at the machine" Be-
sides, if this group of voters were to
disagree among themselves as to the
best man for their representative, they
could nominate two men witt out Gear
of splitting their vote and thereby los
ing their representation. Study of the
systems will show how this works.
Much more might be added to our
indictment of the present electoral sys-
