would not object TO such a procedure

Waking Up Under the Lash.

Senator Culiom and his friends seem
to be waking up under the lash which
ex-Gov- Yates is applying to them and
they are seriously considering the ad-
visibility of answering him from the
stump. While this contest between
two republicans, each wanting to repre-
sent the state in the United States SEN
ate is no affair of the democrats, one
cannot help admiring the pluck or rath-
er the audacity OF Yates in making
what may be called such a vigorous
fight against mis- older and more expe-
ricnced opponent. In his experience
Is CullOm's advantage and he has no
other. During the many years he has
served the state as governor and as
member OF congress in both houses
CullOm's name has never been associ-
ated with single national measure of
importance He has from time to time
posed as an advocate of some sort of
control of interstate commerce and has
made few perfunctionary speeches
on that line He has. by adhering to
his hobby through thick and thin. at
times. made himself ridiculous. His
strongest Point has been in securing
positions for his friends as federal Off
GERS and in this he has been unusually
successful. He has filled all vacancies
possible with personal friends and in
this way has in the course of years.
built up political machine which to a
man in his position has proved invaI-
liable. The building up of this machine
proves him To possess a certain kind of
ability which Yates, under the instruc-
tions of wiser heads, has taken advan-
tage of and the iatter's comments up
on tie federal machine have not been
entirely wasted upon the people.
On the other hand Yates is as far
from be-ES . statesman as his older
antagonist and he can only be strong
through CuIlom's weakness. 1t is a
well known fact that the nomination
Of Yates for governor Of Illinois was
an accident. 1t was due largely toI

inheritance of his name, name that
meant something to the old guard. who
remembered with pleasure the old war
governor Yates name is his political
stock in trade. AS a lawyer he was a
failure, as county judge he was worse
than a failure, while as a publicaspeak-
er, carefully trained, he occupied a
low field in the science of argument.
1t was as governor that he showed
his greatest weakness. He surrounded
himself with his relatives and the pa
rade of his staff, covered with gold
lace and trappings on every possible
occasion. was one of his greatest glo-
ries. His course made him ridiculous
before the people and when the time
came that it was his right TO claim
the endorsement of denomination he
failed Many shortcomings of his ad-
ministration are being forgotten and
there are really people who think of
him seriously as a possible United
States senator.
Here then are the two men, Cullom
and Yates, who are contending for the
nomination for a position in the most
powerful legislative body in the world.
Both are hucksters in positions. Meth

go to make up the real statesman. The
great republican party in the great
state of Illinois possesses in its ranks
thousands of men more capable than
either Cullom or Yates, but they are
not in the foreground. The rank and
file must select one or the other, both
incompetents. The party is under the
lash.
