TER. AND NOT ENTITLED
TO FIRST TERM.

Litchfeld Saturday Review, (Rep. Il
It has been generally understood
throughout this district ever since the
last primary election was held that
Albert F. Foster was again to be q |
candidate. There is 10 doubt what
ever that he received majority Of
the legal votes cast at the last pri-
mary election, and was entitled to the
certificate. But on the face of the re-
turns Mr.. Buchanan had thirty ma
jority. Yet, in order to give him
even that small majority, the entire
vote on congressman in two townships
was suppressed, either one Of which
would have given Foster the nomina-
ton. and besides, there were several
places where a..large number of illegal
votes were:.cast against him.
MI. Foster then commenced to
contest Buckman's nomination. Til IN
he was invited to a conference at St.
Paul at which were many of the
leading republicans of the state. It
was then found on examining the
laws. that it would not be possible to
get the contest completed to get
either his or Buckman's name printed
on the general election ballots, 80
that the only result of such contest
would have been to establish Mr.
Fosters right to the nomination but
to allow democratic congressman to
be elected without opposition. In
view Of these circumstances and facts
no less important from party stand
point, it was thought by those pres
ent. while conceding his right, to be
best for the party that he should
make the sacrifice and dismiss the
contest WITH the understanding, how
ever. by those present or interested
that he should be the candidate at the
coming September primary election.
In accordance with that understand
ing and the further assurances then
made to him, Mr.. Foster ia again q
candidate.
This is plain statement of the
situation that affects the republicans
of the Sixth district. It shows that
the candidacy of Mr.. Foster Is
founded upon right and that of Mr..
Buchanan is built upon q broken pro-
! mise.
Some times the argument is made
! that Buchanan is entitled to a second
i term. He is not. He was not morally
entitled to the first term, and unae,
all Of the circumstances surrounding
his election two years ago he Is Ger
tainly not entitled to second term.
