Who Is the Man2

Who Is the ManP
The Ladysn1ith News has several
times thrown out some ideas as to what
the eman Fshculd be who is to be the
standard bearer of the republican
party at the next state election. AS to
what the man should be, there will not,
we think, be much controversy among
the people who helped to win the re-
cent contests? That part of the ques-
ton is easily settled. All will agree
that the man should be one who is in
hearty sympathy with the issues that
were fought out in the last two or
three contests. That would appear to
besettled.
AS to who represents those principles
best, is complex question upon which
there is excellent opportunity for a d.
vergence of opinion. And the worst of
she case is that there is likely to be too
many opinions on this of the problem.
In short, that division of opinion is like
w to spoil the results of the hard work
that has been done in the past. If. the
people of the state will go methodieally
1T the problem it should be. solved
along lines that will not only assure
success at the polls, but success after
the polls.
Who is the man? We must take
men on their records. We must look
to the work they have done in the past.
We must consider whether that work
has been done at a gain or at loss.
These are the material points to be
kept in view. The man who has no
business may well devote his tire to
politics, and the man who makes his
living in politics can hardly be expect
to be out of politics at any time. This
class of men should at all times be held
at discount-and with them should be
placed those who have been .in politics
80 long that it would be difficult for
them to get out.
In addition to those already mention
ed, are those who are always candidates
for offices. The discount here may or
may not be SO heavy as in other cases
but there should be discount never
sheless.
Now, we get to that class of men
= who do their political work as duty.
Men who believe strongly and who act
along the lines of the belief. These
are the men who are sometimes found
in what at first thought may be consid-
cred strange company whose political
associates are vastly different from
their business associates. This differ
ence is sometimes SO marked that we
are inclined to think that they are not
sincere-but it is almost universally the
ease that this condition prevails on ac-
count of strong natures appealing from
the order of things prevailing in their
class.
When such a man is found, he is
generally a good quantity to tie to
there is usually something substantial
there. Business capacity and business
success, when coupled with the right
convictions, carry force of which it is

A reader of the News calls attention
to the fact that the word graft is a
practically new addition to the vocabul-
airy. Yes, it has come with the times,
not so much in the development in that
fine art that we are now designating by
that term as in the campaign of the
people in running down those crooked
deals that give warrant to the name.
The American people have awakened to
the necessity for action all along the
line and that kind of conduct that here
tofore has gone without name has
been christened, and it's name is graft -
1t is not so much a change in commerce
ial affairs as in the keenness of the
people.

legitimate charge for sheriffs services,

in his bills at ten cents per mile, and
figured mileage from Ladysnitn instead
of the county line, charging for 528
miles, $3.50. In one case he charged
for $50 miles, the additional % miles
probably being for walking done in de-
pots while waiting for trains.
1t might be we'll to cali attention to
the fact that taking of excessive fees
by sheriff is a rather serious matter,
The law provides that in such cases the

Official County and City Paper

THE fatal defect in any primary
measure, is. as we have often assured
our readers, that members OF another
party will vote a weak or unpopular
candidate upon the other party at the
primary and then desert him at the
polls. Ii is difficult and next to inn
possible TO remedy this. The theory
of The primary is all right: it is in the
actual practice where It's uselessness
appears. A good illustration of the
practical workings of the primary has
just been seen at the recent election
IN Minnesota. McCleary, the republi-
can candidate for congress, carried the
city Of Mankato at the primary by
1910 votes. Az The election in Noyem-
Der he actually lost the city by a vote
OF 922 to $50 f0r his opponent. That Is,
over 400 democrats voted for him at
the primary because they thought they
could defeat him at the polls better
than any other candidate. The Mime
apolis Jouyaai originally strong
worker for the primary Jaw OF Mime
sofa, thus speaks of the Mankato in
stance:
Many people helped nominate
McCieary who were really not for him,
or supporters OF the principles he
stands for. In this case they were
Lore than enough 10 change the re-
suit of the primary election in the
district. Many instances OF the same
kind might be quoted They make the
popular chol.e' feature of the prim ary
u farce. i is no won0er that some OF the
OF newly elected Legislature are shafp
ening knives 10 operate on the primary
law, while others want to klll u out
