Much sympathy is being expressed for
the socialist party by republican news
papers through out the state because of
the fact that the provisions of the new
primary election law bars that party from
the ballot, less than FIVE per cent of the
vote having been cast for its candidate
for governor at the last general election
Inasmuch as the late lamented republi,
can legislature was responsible for this
freeze out" clause in the primary cleo
ton law the socialists may not be able
to thoroughly appreciate the sympathy
received from that source.

The German Tariff and Meat Famine

The German Tariff and Meat Famine
DIMINISHED supply Of butchers meat,
due to the closing of the German from
tiers against inportations and the high
prices following, is causing distress in
the fatherland. 1t is openly declared
by municipal officials of Berlin that in
so far as the masses are concerned the
ruling prices of meat are almost pro
hibitive.
Recently q Socialist leader in the
Berlin municipal council asserted that
the present meat rates would vastly
increase the ranks of the Social De.
mocracy. At this meeting it was
shown that the price of meat had in.
creased nearly so per cent under the
new tariff system, and the prediction
vas made that the government would
be compelled to reopen the frontiers
to importations.

Gov. SARLEs announces that he is

Gov. SARLEs announces that he is a
candidate for reelection and lis will
ing to be judged by his record" The
latter portion of his announcement is
somewhat ambiguous, as he does not
designate the class which is to do the
judging. If Sarles is to be judged by
the corporations and political bosses his
record is probably eminently satisfac-
tory. He has been more subservient to
their interests than any other;man who
has held the Office. His sickening adu-
lation of Mr.. Hill at the time of the rate
reduction last year, and his action as a
member of the state board of equaliza-
ton in reducing the taxes of the rail
roads are all a part of his record. His
appointment Of Col. Creel in direct
violation of the law is another portion
of the governors record. The retention
of the notorious r. n. Stevens IN the at.
torney generals Office, contrary to the
constitution of the state, is a part OF the
official record of the Sarles administra.
ton, and the governor is willing to be
judged by his record" The governor
approved the Streeter libel law. which
is an attack upon and an insult to every
newspaper man in the state. 1t is a
part of his record and he is willing to
be judged by it. Wouldn't it be more
