WE'D, MARCH 25, 1908.


Within the past year much has
been said concerning the Dem
ocratic machine both from our
common political foe, and by
members of the Democratic par
ty, but since the election last
Fall, reorganization has been
generally conceded necessary by
all interested in the welfare of
the party, and at our next State
Convention this will take place.
At that meeting new members
of all the committees will be
elected, for a period of four years,
and the rules made for their gov
eminent will be adopted. The err
rors and defects in the party
laws ought to be apparent and
should be so amended a s to
eliminate or reduce, to a
minimum, every incentive or op-
portunity for the office holding
members of our party to control
the action of party machinery.
In other words free the COM
mittee from temptation to ad-
vance their individual interests
and place every member beyond
the reach of temptation, and then
we can hope to have a fair,
square deal and rid our party
from the odium of self perpet-
uation and advancement in office
by mere manipulation. The
Sta tie Central and Executive
committees exercise the coordi-
nate branches of party govern
ment and their limitation or con-
stitutional powers are derived
through the State Convention.
The Executive Committee fixes
the time and manner of making
nominations, while the Central
Committee performs j u d icia !
functions and manages cam
paignes. With the entire man.
agement of nominations, deter
mining contests and directing
campaigns, the Importance of
making and keeping every mem
Der free from the allurements of
personal political advancement is
clear. Heretofore this has not
been guarded, and through this
defect in party law the founda-
ton for machine methods was
laid We are not criticising the
committees, nor any member OF

to rid our party Of power to

With Score Randolph S; Togus 4.

Randolph Locals forfeited to Togus 9

warm game and when the score stood
Randolph 5. Togus 4.
The visitors led off with one run by
Corbin on a wild throw by Keyes to sec
ond. In tho second the visitors made an
other run, with Togus only seeing third
in the first. In the next Togus made two
scores and shut the Randolph lads out.
In the fourth the visitors umpire claimed
keyes was out for kicking missed third
strike which fell directly under his feet.

argument Togus gave in. In the eighth
Randolph made one score and the Home
team came up, made one run and had
one man on first base when the visitors
refused to play longer. and after an ar
gument over the darkness left the field.
thus giving it to Togus 9 to 0.
Togus always plays a fair game with
every team coming here and this is the
first trouble since baseball came into the
Home. Ii seems to be the fault of the
outsiders and it is hoped that if ever
they come here again they will conduct
themselves in more gentlemanly man
ner. The playing of both teams was
above criticism.
