views OF numDeF OF the prominent
party leaders, some of whom agree
with the Word-Herald's plan, while
others disagree with it, and still others
suggest that the convention name the
candidate of the party for the high
office. The WorldHerald plan in
brief is as follows: To let the demo-
cratic state convention select three
or four worthy democratic aspirants
| for the United States senate and in
vite them TO go upon the ticket for
preference vote by petition, as pro-
vided by law. The convention to pledge
the party and its members in the
legislature to support the candidate
who receives the largest number Of
votes at the polls.

pirants for the high and honorable
position Of United States senator,
either of which would fill the Office
with distinction and reflect credit on

The Independent has no desire. at
this stage Of the controversy, to offer
! advise Or comment upon the various vYai US
positions taken by those who have
already spoken in regard to the
method of placing candidate for
the senate before the people. But,
we wish to remind both candidates and
voters that the nomination for SEN
ators is an empty honor, unless a
democratic legislature can be elected,
and to further remind them that the
chances of electing a democratic
legislature this year depends very
much upon the choice of the party of
it's candidate for governor.
The voters of the state are more in
| terested in the question on railroad
! freight and passenger rates, the aboli-
ton of the free railroad pass and the
passage of revenue law that will
give them back their own local as.
SCISSORS, than they are in the
| question of who shall be the next
United States senator. The voters
are wide awake and in dead earnest,
and will critically scan the work of
| the next convention. And If they en-
| tertain any misgivings as to the alb
solute good faith of that convention,
| in dealing with the questions that they
are vitality interested in it will matter
little who is the party's choice for
senator. The people of the state
know now who they want for governor.
| II will be the part of wisdom for those
who aspire to the senatorship, or to
any other position 70 make sure that
they know the peoples wishes upon
| the question of the governorship and
comply with them and thus strengthen
the chances of electing a democratic
legislature, thereby making the elec-
tion of democratic United States
senator possible.
