into Kansas from Washington call

Senator Long says:

candidacy is concerned. If there
are any republicans who oppose my
return to the senate shall appre-

THE KANSAS DELEGATION

The Democratic delegate con-
vention held at Hutchinson last
Friday was rouser. 1t was at.
tended far beyond the most extrav-
agant expectation of the most
hopeful.
Only two counties in the state
failed to respond to the roll call.
The delegation was instructed to
vote all the time for the nomina-
ton of the peerless statesman, VIM.
]. Bryan, and at every mention OF
the Great Commoner's name 1t was
cheered to the echo.
The delegation consists of the
following we'll known Democrats:
Delegates-at-large-W. A. Har-
ris of Douglas, ]. E. Andrews OF
Rush, w. H. L. Pepperell of Cloud,
c. NJ. Sawyer of Norton.
District delegates-First, F. M
Pearl of Brown, w. G.. Rigby of
Shawnee; Second, w. w. Rose of
Wyandotte, Frank Cunningham OF
Bourbon; Third, S. H. Henderson
of Cherokee, H. B. Goss of Chau-
tauqua; Fourth, Ed T. Hall Of
Greenwood, NJ. F. Truitt of Wa

The Hutchinson News and the
Newton Kansan are very short
sighted politically when they at
tract attention to the standing of
Long in the Senate with the pow
ers that be. That is just where
nine -tenths of the trouble with Sen
ator Longs campaign for ;e-elec-
tion is just now. The people of
Kansas are finding fault with the
Senatorial actions and judgment
and Mr.. Long is made to bear the
brunt of it in Kansas. If these pa
pers could point to one single thing
wherein Senator Long had defied
the Aldrich- Elkins Senator Trust
Co., it would be worth hundreds of
votes to Senator Long.-Lyons Re-
publican.
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1908-02-26

The idea of the politician is that
a man who is candidate for pub
lie office should not make any
declarations as to where he stands
on public and moral questions un.
til his political party has spoken,
then he should come out boldly and
endorse everything his party does
and says without regard to whether
it is right or wrong. No matter if
the people need relief or protection
along certain lines, so long as it
does not please the party to grant
things, the peoples will amounts
to naught. The party" in the
sense Of platform making, consists
of a small bunch of oficeholders
who assemble themselves together
at public expense at stated inter-
walls and amidst much winning and
dining, declare the needs of the ma
ton. This is the modern idea of
government by parties. To avoid
this kind ofhumbuggery,real states
men stand for the initiative and
referendum which would give the
people themselves a chance at law.
making and it would at the same
time tend to stiffen the backbone
of the man who wants an Office be-
cause he would then have no incen-
tive to mortgage his mind to some
bloated politician farther up. In
der the present system the average
politician is afraid to express him
self on anything until he has receiv-
ed orders from Senator"So and So, -
or Congressman $50 and So" And
generally the Senator and Con-
gresham dare not venture out in
to the open until they are cock-sure
that they know where the president
and the rulers in congress stand.

The first convention to be held
in 1908, Republican state, of Flori-
da) was called to meet at St. Au-
gustine, February 6. The conven-
ton split in two, one body being
known as "the Office holders con.
vention," and the other BODY being
known as the "anti-Taft conven.
tion." One convention instructed
for Taft and the other elected an
uninstructed delegation. Concern.
ing the two conventions the Asso.
ciated Press says: "The office hold

You will notice, as you read
through the columns of the repub-
lican press, that the name of the
late President Mckinley is no long
er linked with that of Washington
and Lincoln. 1t is now Wash
ington, Lincoln and Roosevelt. ="
If the plans of the politicians do
not miscarry, ii will be Washing
ton, Lincoln and Taft" after March
4, 1909. The present-day presi-
dents do not live in history, accord.
ing to the pie-eating authority, af-
ter their days of dispensing pie are
past. But regardless of who is
president, he measures right up to
Washington and Lincoln-so long
as he has fat jobs at his disposal.

The primary law has already
turned out to be a miserable failure.
The method provided for candi-
dates to get on the ticket is unjust
to aspirants, and the destruction of
the secret ballot is un-American.
The people are certain to resent
this makeshift at the polls. A di-
rect primary that is such in fact as
we'll as in name has long been de-
sired by the people of Kansas, but
the thing that now disgraces the
statute books falls far short of be-
ing the genuine article.
