Parties and People.

It is now some months since the
Globe Democrat expressed the
opinion that the Missouri Repub.
licans are so we'll disposed toward
the Missouri state primary law
that the Democrats who are seek
ing to nullify it would have to
take the initiative If such an un.
dertaking is SO dangerous that the
monkey has never abandoned hope
of finding a catspaw with which to
rake for chestnuts in the hottest
FIRE built in Missouri in a long
time. Every now and then a fresh
announcement is made that Re.
pubIicans are to 90 into court in
an action to declare the primary
law unconstitutional. The Globe
Democrat knows of no Republican
of statewide fame or hope who
would not be u loser by knocking
out the law now. But it is easy
to count half dozen Bourbons
who would be in much better posi-
tioDs With it out of the way.
The law, after it has had a
practical trial, may be found to
stand in need Of amendment. But
let it have the practical trial first.
To attempt setting it aside without
such trial would be an act of fol-
ly on the part of any organization
which would let itself be used in
that work, that we are compelled
to admire the sagacity of the Bour-
bon politicians who see the danger
and are looking for somebody to
do for them the dangerous work
they want done, but which they
are too wise to risk doing them
selves. A reputation of being
''smarter than Philadelphia law
yer" was Of old certificate of Gun
ming equal to the picking of flaws
il anything from indictments to
constitutions. But even though
Missouri may boast lawyer able
to slip through the hands of Phil
adeiphia lawyers, aud tind holes
in indictments drawn by them, be
should nire his talents publicly to
the Bourbons, and act for them
for aA they could be made worth
to him. Certainly the Missouri
Republicans could not retain him
for such service, nor should they
even allow him to act in their name
or by color of their authority.
If it is necessary to have Judi
cial Interpretation of some sections
or clauses of the law applying
to particular localities, or of parts
of the act relating to methods o.
administration, it will be easy tt
get il. But to strike a blow a
any vital feature of the law which
is designed to take power out O.
the hands Of machines, and pIac'
it in the hands of the people, wber'
it rightly belongs, will be to strike
Ia blow at any party which woult
allow itself to be held responsible
for such action. Give the peopl'
!, a chance. If, on trial, thew shos
themselves incompetent and un
worthy, there will be time enough
for amendment or appeal. But

BRYAN AND THE SENATE.

The poor old senate seems to be the
piece de resistance of this campaign.
Many business men, we are told, who
have no love for Bryan or Organism,
affect stolid Indifference as to the
result of this campaign, because the
senate will be republican and will
block all his radical schemes +" 10
this Bryan Indignantly replies: IF
I am elected, it will be by an ex-
preston of public opinion and dare
the senate to antagonize the declared
public opinion of America. =
On the other hand, fear is express
ed that Bryan, never regarded as a
specially safe man or a peculiarly ex-
pert judge of men, will make poor
appointments for positions of great
Importance, notably the Supreme
court, and Bryan retorts: 'Well,
my appointments wilt have to run
the gauntlet of republican senate
and guess between US, we shall be
able to select safe and reliable men. :"
In any event, Bryan seems to be lying
the f1attering JUNCTION to his soul,
that, whatever the need or the
emergency, he can rely upon the re-
publican senate.
We are afraid he does not fully
understand the nature and the power
of this honorable body. The millennium
may be on the way, but it has not yet
arrived in the political world Bryan
and those who are enthusiastically
supporting him because he is the
friend of the people and because he is
going to do such wonders in hebalf of
the down trodden of earth will find
that the republican senate will stand
like a mighty bulwark against his
program of free silver. free trade,
bank guarantee and government
ownership.
If the people want the policy of the
present administration continued,
they must elect the man who will
have with him republican house
and republican senate, and who can
and will do the things the people
waht and that man s name is William
H. Taft. milwaukee Sentinel.

There is not farmer in Wisconsin
who is not directly interested in re-
publican success at the coming cleo
tion. The value of his farm and all
Of his products will be influenced by
that election. And the merchants
and laboring men and mill and
factory owners, are interested just
as directly as is the farmer. If all
those who will be benefited through
a republican victory will do what
they can to assist in the success Of the
republican ticket by casting their
vote for the candidates of that party,
the day after the coming election will
be one of the gladdest in material
directions that Wisconsin has known
in several years.

Declaring that it would be suicidal
to the labor movement for "any man
or set of men" to be able to deliver
the vote of organized labor to any
party, President Norman E. McPhail,
of the Boston Typographical Union,
has written a letter to Chief Willis
L. Moore, of the United States
Weather Bureau, declaring that the
labor vote as a body cannot be de-
livered. We did not need Mr. Nc
Phails opinion to convince us of this
fact. Samuel Gompers the union
labor chief who promised to deliver
the labor vote to Bryan because the
republican national convention re-
fused to adopt plank which he
offered, providing for class legisla-
tion, has had his claims very general
ly repudiated by labor organizations
throughout the country. Republi-
can laboring men will vote accord
ing to their convictions and their own
interests, regardless of what Mr..
Gompers, democrat, may wish or
what he promises be can make them
do.
