Home Trade Idea Not New.

Day after day the people are awalS-
ening to the fact that the only way
the evils of trusts can be combatted
is by an adherence to the home trade
doctrine. 1t is nothing new. 1t was
the sentiment that prompted the
founders OF our government to sound
the clarion of Liberty from the sum-
nit of Bunker Hill. Then, it was the
forcing of people dependent on an
other government to pay an unjust
tribute for necessaries of life. To-
day it is one class Of people of ma
ton, and the greatest nation on earth,
to compel the other classes to pay UNI
just tribute In a commercial way The
wrong was righted by blood in the
first case; the wrong can be righted
in the present case by the people with
out resorting to serious trouble, by
merely exercising their prerogatives
and the means that lie in their power
to prevent the concentration of great
wealth in the big financial centers by
keeping their surplus earnings at
home. 1t is the draining the dollars
from the country to the large cities
that assist in building up the great
combines. the great trusts. which are
manipulated to the deteriment of the
people of the country at large. 1t
does not require special legislation for
the farmer to buy flour made in his
home mill; to use other products made
in his county or state, or to patronize
the merchants of his home town.

ture two men who sat as Hearne dele
gates in the state convention. one a
brother Of w. II. Hearne. the guberna-
torial candidate. 1t was the seating Of
this delegation which formed the basis
for the Scherr bolt. This feature might
also be construed as scoring another point
for Swisher but 1t was only indirectly so
and due almost entirely to local political
conditions. Comment has been excited
because the convention ignored reference
to Senators Elkins and Scott. Gov. Daw-
son and Representative Hubbard, but this
was the polite thing to do to escape
touching on the state controversy.
A conference of candidates on the
swisher ticket and candidates on con-
gressional tickets has been called to be
held at Clarksburg. August H. The
Swisher headquarters are at Clarksburs
and the meeting is to agree upon q sys-
tematic plan for the conduct of the
campaign in West Virginia.
The Scherr headquarters are at Parkers-
burg but reports from there are that the
Scherr cause Is losing ground. notwith-
standing the fact that this week the
republican county convention in Randolph
county Endorsed the insurgent movement.
This action was all the more striking
because Randolph II Senator Elkins home
county and the senator a few days previ-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-08-09

vailed on Secretary Taft to be his guest
for a few days at White Sulphur Springs
and attend the Greenbrier county horse
show. 1t Is only q forty-mile drive from
Hot Springs. Gaines was chairman OF
the regular state convention. As Senator
Scott was invited to attend the incidental
conference and as Swisher was pro-
grammed as q luninary also 1t becomes
an easy matter to figure out which ticket
IL billed for Official recognition.
The Ohio county convention this week
turned down a resolution offered by
Charles H. Watkins. a member of the old
state committee. which had for its pur-
pose the calling Of a primary election to
be held on a given date throughout the
state for the purpose of nominating a
new ticket. The convention did not want
to get entansled in the state mix-up. and.
furthermore. deemed the resolution Of no
material value. Inasmuch as the big
guns have been unable to effect a solution
the little fellows did not think anything
they might advise would get a hearing.
The defeat of the resolution was popu-
lariy construed as Scherr setback and a
Swisher victory. but the application Of
the resolution In that regard was hardly
a fair test.

of If Swisher will but Swisher and his
managers declare nothing will induce
them to give way. And 1t looks as though
they mean what they say. Chairman
Grant has issued a circular which invites
county candidates to come In on the
Scherr ticket and threatens them with
opposing candidates for county offices
which he will fill In unless they do So
1t will be evident that the muss comes
home to the county candidates, but they
appear to be inclined to favor the regu,
lar ticket principally because 1t Will
avoid complications.
The Swisher ticket will have the eagle
for the party emblem. 1t has two presi-
Dental electors The Scherr people have
delayed a choice although they will &C
cept the Swisher nominees later on. not
withstanding Chairman Grant is opposed
to Joe McDermott Of Morgantown. one OF
the electors. The Scherr ticket is still
minus q candidate for auditor and can
didate for secretary of state.
Plans Of the Democrats.
Lewis Bennett the democratic guberna-
torial nominee. met with the old and new
state committees of his party this week
at Parkersburg. Naturally he thinks his
chances good with the republican govern
orsllip muddle on. He fails to warm the
brethren up because he is by nature what
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-08-09

Is termed a cold man. but he appeals as
a clean candidate. and will undoubtedly
poll many republican votes unless a
miracle intervenes before the I'd of No
vember.
The democrats are busy explaining that
their negro planks did not mean exactly
what they have been popularity construed
to mean. They declare that the suffrage
plank can be applied to any foreigner or
other white man who doesn't establish his
claim to the privilege OF voting. Like
wise they declare that the Jim Crow car
plank will cut both ways. that 1t will ap-
peal to republicans and not lose a demo-
cratic vote.
The liquor question is beginning to de-
velop as an underground paramount. The
Scherr platform declared for the submits
sion to the people of a prohibition amend
ment to the constitution. TIL, Swisher
platform declared for that, and also for
the passage by the legislature of q local
option law. The democratic utterance Is
capable of various constructions. 1t is
rather successful attempt at q straddie
and was surprising in view Of the previous
active sentiment in the party for a
straight-out declaration in favor OF the
dry" measure.

ously had declared for the Swisher ticket.
Randolph county has not been In the
senator's control for years. It Is DEM
ocratic county and continues to stay that
way despite his influence. The senator
has also been unable to control the coun-
ty organization. 1t being dominated now
by NJ q. Keim. whom Eikins opposed
successfully for congressional nomina
ton. and Stark L. Baker formerly state
senator and pronounced anti-administra-
ton man. Elkins was totally unable to
create or foster Swisher sentiment in that
county when the state delegates were
selected months ago. Consequently with
the feeling against him there politically
and the fact that the Scherr people dom
mated the situation the Endorsement OF
the Scherr state convention was not
strange to those familiar with the sttu-
alton.
Hope Of Eliminating Both.
Just as the people held on to the grim
last in the hope that dark horss would
win the gubernatorial nomination SO now

will be finally pulled of in favor Of

to challenge the Speaker TO rise in
his place, not as Speaker, but as a
member oi the Illinois delegation"
and defend his right TO dominate the
deliberations Of the Congress Of the
United States, and he made strenuous
endeavofs to rally to his support the
rank and file Of the House, in order
TO break down this autocraey and
the rules. that the peoples represent
atiycs may do things they want
done" The bold anarchist is none
other than Dorsey w, Shackleford,
Democratic Congressman from the
9Th district Of Missouri, and instead
Of calling down upon himself all the
wrath OF the Little Man with the
Cigar his remarks caused much
laughter and served to liyen things up
in the lower house OF Congress, dur
ing the discussion Of the urgent de-
ficiency bill. The leaders in this
branch OF the national legislature be-
licvc that the present state OF the
coun,ry's finances demands strict
economy in all lines OF governmental
activity. and the complaint that they
pull Uncle Sans purse strings toe
tight is made by many members whc
are after large appropriations for pet
schemes, or public buildings in their
various districts.

As a result OF the agitation for the
retirement on pension of government
clerks after long and faithful service
and the efforts of organizations ef-
fected with this end in view, Repre-
sentative Bennett Of New York this
week introduced bill which he be-
lieves will satisfactorily solve the
problem. He would make all classi-
fled civil service employees who have
served the government Twenty-Five
years or more subject to voluntary or
compulsory retirement, with indefin-
ite leave of absence and 40 per cent
of their regular pay. This means
that a messenger entering the service
at the age of Is years can be retired
at the age of forty-three, and clerk
who is classified as soon as he is OF
proper age can take indefinite leave
of absence, with two-thirds pay, when
he is but forty-five. The measure is
understood to be that recommended
by the organizations formed for the
purpose OF securing some such aid
from Congress for the benefit of the
old employees.
