To do this the discussed ques-
tions concerning an anti-pass law, a
primary election law, q two-cent fare
law, and perhaps some other measures,
viii be submitted to the various legis-
lative candidates over the state.
1t is the idea of Mr.. Brandon. Mr..
Stubs. and some others who are behind
this movement that if the Republican
candidates for members of the Iegis-
lature declare for these measures, il
will have the same effect as though
they were in the party platform, and
that they will also be enacted into law
by the next legislature. and that is the
end sought by Mr.. Stubs and his i'm
mediate followers.
Mr. Stubs believes that the platform
is the thing to support. rather than the
candidate, but that is where a good
many people will differ from Mr.. Stubs.
He believes that to pass laws is the
chief end of government, but that is
where Mr.. Stubs is mistaken. We al

Guilty is in getting them enforced.
We have an antitrust law on the
statute books that has been twice up

who would enforce it.
The last legislature passed a first
class railroad law, but it has done the

If the state had the right kind Of a

would be necessary, for the board could
put the two-cent rate into effect on every
road in the state where the earnings
justify 1t.
If the people would exercise their in
dependence there would be no need OF
an anti-pass law to keep legislatures
free from railroad influence, for no pass
holder would be elected to office.
If men who are nominated over the
protest of the rank and file Of the peo-
pie were turned down in the elections.

who, as is usual in such cases. dis

It happens that his son, a young col

as an extremely vulgar liking for ex-

ago there was a little tilt between
them upon the subject. The young
man appeared glowing healthily from
