and the great man or great men would
approach through the center aisle at
tended by a Gordon OF followers like
the attendant pilot-fishes to his majes-
ty the shark, or more properly speak
ing, like the attendant porpoises on
the whale.
The "silver-tongued" "bunk-shooter"
would then grasp the hands of the
great men, to show how close he was
to the throne, and would gently but
firmly subside, and "the Real Thing"
would proceed to address the meeting.
Close attention was always shown to
the mayoralty and aldermanic candi-
dates and to no one else. And what
the audience was always trying to
figure out was what kind of a man
is he?" and not what are the issues?"
And SO the orators scared in and out
of the issues like a swallows flight
above river, and their analysis of the
questions of the day left as much an
impression on their hearers minds as
the birds flight does in the air above
the rivers current.
But they were watching him, and
shrewdly or otherwise making up
their minds as to his sincerity, his
courage, his honesty and his general
ability to fill the Office he was seek
ing. The main issue was always some
thing that no one. not even the origi-
majors of it. really understood. 1t was
usually based on strictly scientific
degree of accuracy. 1t started from
self-evident and bitterly contested con-
clusfon, and arrived in a labyrinth of
contradiction from which there was
no outlet. The celebrated traction is
sue, for instance, was one on which
several campaigns were fought. and
no honest man ever really pretended
to understand 1t. The question had
as many angles to 1t as three-cushion
carom billiards, and as fast as one
perfect solution to the puzzle was Of
fered. something would bob up that
would change the status of affairs and
make 1t as much of mystery as be-
fore.
The main uses of campaign oratory
in the wards was to enthuse the work
ers, to get the "hustlers' in the vari-
GUS precincts busy in getting out the
votes. To do this required that the
speaker descend from the high trap
eze Of fiowery defamation and talk
about the practical benefits to be de-
rived by party victory. "The thir-
teen struggling colonies" were all
right in their place. but that was
several years back. and what the
workers wanted to hear about was the
patronage to be distributed. the pos

victory was gained, and what there

on precisely the same plan. They,

this paper, is in receipt OF advices
from Washington, D. c., that he has
been designated by Secretary of
State Elihu H. Root for examination
for appointment in the United States
consular service.
Mr.. Simpich has had an expert
ence both in the United States and
in foreign lands, which especially
fits him for any position in the con-
sular service. His knowledge of
people and subjects is broad This.
together with the fact that he is a
young man of energy and character,
secured for him the endorsement of
Washington representatives in
Congress and his local friends.

My Dear Sir-Your favor of the
goth instant, asking me whether or
not l am in favor of the election of
United States senators by the direct
vote of the people, at hand.
l am heartily in favor of this
proposition. Our legislature has ex-
pressed itself along these lines sew
eral times, and this is one reason
why l am in favor of our di-
rect primary law. 1t in fact,
comes as near providing for the
election of senators by the people
and, when you come to consider it,
it is in practical working substan-
TALLY the same as the selection of
senators by the people, because il
we had the constitution changed, the
selection would be made by each
party nominating it's own candidate
for the senate and the people vot-
ing for them at the election. The
law now provides for the nomina-
ton for senator by each party and
have no doubt but that, in voting
for members of the legislature, the
people have the right to feel that
their expressed choice at the primary
will receive the votes of their men,
bers of the legislature on the re-
spective party tickets, so that there
can be but little doubt but that if
the legislature is republican it will
elect the choice of the republican
