CARLISLE is FOR MILLER.
Believes the Goshen Man the Best
Fitted in District to Succeed
Brick

When asked if there was any au-
thority behind the frequent mention
of his name in connection with the
Republican nomination for congress
Col. Charles Arthur Carlisle answered
very emphatically in the negative.

CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES
The People Should Make Congress
sional Nominations.

In discussing the congressional Sit
uation the Elkhart Review says:
Republicans of the Thirteenth dis
trict must not forget that the entire
people of the district, and not the
Republican party alone, are interested
both vitality and politically in the Sc
lection OF some man 10 fill out the
unexpired term in congress occasion
ed by the death of Mr. Brick, and
also in the selection of a man who
will succeed him in the next Con-
gress. The Democracy will act in
accordance with the usual method OF
nominating a candidate for the next
term of Congress. The question of
a successor for the short term is not
purely partisan OF course, all the
parties will name their own candl
dates. But on the manner of naming
the successor TO the unexpired term
and of filling the vacancy on the
ticket presented to the voters for the
next election a good deal depends. In
the first place, the Republican party
owes to itself the duty of selecting
a very strong, capable and promising
man for both positions. The intiu-
ence and position attained by the de-
ceased Congressman could not be
reached Immediately by any man no
matter how strong, but the more cap
able, the more he possesses the con-
idence of the district which elected
him. the greater his immediate in
fluence and the more promising his
future. The first question should be.
not expediency alone, but justice to
the public and the recognition of the
tights of the whole people The next
should be the determination TO find.
If possible, the very best man for one
or both the positions, no matter UNI
der which procedure the selection be
made 1t is not alone enough to
ASK what VIII inc Id" Peiii'' ""'
what do law and the rights of the
voters demand?' Undoubtedly the
authorities who have the duty OF set
ing he machinery in motion will
take plenty of tie to consider this
question from all sides and act in the
manner most conducive to real justice
and in accordance with the policy OF
he Republican party TO give the peo-
Die the fullest representation in al
public acts"

AS to Bricks Successor.

The death of Congressman Brick
has greatly unsettled political con-
ditions in the Thirteenth district. Mr.
Brick had recently been nominated
for a fifth term by the Republicans
and his untimely d~ath opens up new
possibilities for both parties. If the
Republicans nominate Charles w.
Miller the Democrats will recognize
the hopelessness of any attempt to
defeat him and give their nomination
to some second or third rater, like
Editor Barnhart, Rochester On the
other hand if the Republicans nomin-
ate a second-rate candidate the Demo
Gratis will nominate a hrst-class man
like Ben F. Shively, of South Bend,
and elect him.-Indianapolis indie

THE OFFICIAL PROGRAM.

John L. Moorman, who had the
convention called to select delegates
to the national convention, nominate
Hon. A. L. Brick for congress nine
months before election, has decided
70 nominate himself as candidate for
the long term, now that Mr.. Brick is
dead, without giving the Republicans
of the district any chance whatever
to name candidate for congress
James P Goodrich, chairman of
the state committee, says that Moor
man has the authority to name the
candidate without calling a conven-
ton or even consulting the county
chairmen, but as Norman wants the
nomination, Goodrich thinks that in
stead Of Norman naming himself,
he should call the committee together
and have them name him.
The program is outlined as follows:
1st, Committee shall meet and name
Moorman as the candidate for the
long term Of congress. End, Norman
will tender his resignation rs district
committeeman and the committee by
direction of Norman. will select s.
E. Boys, the present oil Inspector of
Marshall county, TO succeed Moor
man as district committeeman.
3rd, Chairman Boys will then call
a convention to nominate Norman
for the short term, without giving
anybody else chance to make a can
vass for the nomination. The final
act, which is not on the official pro-
gram, will be the defeat Of Norman
at the election, because the Republi-
cans of the Thirteenth district will
not submit to disfranchisemen ut more
complete than is now accorded the
negroes of South Carolina.
Ii fair play and an open field is
accorded Republicans to nominate a
candidate for congress, in this district
the man nominated will be elected /;
but the best man in the district can
NOT be elected if nominated by dis
franchising Republicans as now pro-
posed by Goodrich and Norman.
Mr.. Norman was in this city We'd
nesday and SD that while State
Chairman Goodrich and his legal
advisers had notified him that the
seven county committeeman of the
district should make the nominations
for congress, he had decided to call
a convention and give ample time for
other candidates to enter the race.
Mr.. Norman stated that he is a cam
didate for the nomination.
