forms within party lines have proven
lamentable failures. We know the
cases of LaFonette of Wisconsin, Folk
Of Missouri and the recent victory of
the reform ticket in Philadelphia viii
be cited as instances of the feasibility
10 the plan. But il must be remem-
beTed that the people OF Pennsyl-
vania reformed the Republican state
gang by electlng Democratic treas
urer, and that the people of Ohio re-
formed their Republican mismanagers
by electing a Democratic governor.
Although Folk was elected governor
Of Missouri the rest Of the Republican
state ticket was elected. and If anybody
but Folk had been a candidate on the
Democratic ticket for governor of Mis-
souri, last year he would certainly have
been defeated. LaFollette. the gov

portant offices because he is afraid if he
let's so OF either the Republican gang
sters will seize it and use it to their
own ends. So reform within the party,
even in the light of recent incidents,
comes pretty close 20 being what the
late Senator Ingalls, called purity in
politics-"an iridescent dream
Abraham Lincoln would never have
been president of the United States if
men had chung to party lines. Had 1t
not been for the terrific split in the
Democratic party Lincoln could not
have been elected. An analysis OF that
vote shows that 4 large majority of
the people voted against him. He was
elected only because the ajority was
divided between two other presidential
candidates. We may cite also the first
election Of Mckinley, made possible
through the support OF Democrats who
bolted their party's nominee.
It is our judgment that voters are
thinking more for themselves every
year. They 10 longer support every
principle proposed by designing politi-
clans merely because they are of the
same political faith as those politicians.
They ask themselves now if the prin-
ciples are right. if they can. as citi-
zens. conscientiously support them. II
they can't they break party ties as
easily as q child breaks a penny
whistle though they don't regret the
breaking nearly as much as the child.
If nobody ever voted according 10
the dictates of his own conscience, or
her own conscience. il would never be
possible tovote the Republican party out
of power in this nation. But perhaps
that is the exact condition the Bulletin
would like TO bring about.

A CANDID WITNESS.

The candor of Senator Platt's testi-
mony regarding political contributions
by life insurance companies has not
been sufficiently commented on. Sem
ator Plat told, not only about the
amount of money subscribed, which,
after all. is immateriai; he told about
the reasons why the donations were
made. Inquisitor Hughes had asked
him what advantages the companies
might expect from their gifts, sug-
Eesting that they were buying protec-
ton.
Senator Plat frankly admitted, al
most in so many words, that this was
the case. The questions and answers
were:
"Now, isn't that the way il really comes
about. senator. that the use of these con-.
tributions in the election of candidates
to office puts the candidate more or less
under a moral obligation not to attack the
interests supporting him.
''That is naturally what would be in
vOlyed,' admitted Senator Plat.
But isn't that really what is involved?
Il should think so.f the senator re-
THAT" said Mr.. Hughes. finally. is
what you meant when you said that they
would expect you, through your relations
70 the state committee. TO defend them.
Yes. sir was the senator's last word
In other words. Senator Plat felt
morally bound. after accepting the con-
tributions, 10 use his influence TO Sc
cure any legislation the companies
wanted, and 10 defeat any legislation
they did not want. Every gift was a
bride, pure and simple. And Senator
Platt recognized all of the gifts as
brides.
They are saying the old man is in his
dotage. Perhaps he is, but it is
dotage that is worth while TO the hold
ers OF insurance policies, for it is en-
tightening them on the channels
through which their money has been
unlawfully diverted from them.
