Thus ended the campaign against
the monopoly gamblers who. In their
effort to control all gambling IN the

sellers. And thus Gov. Hughes
whipped Into line the members OF the
senate who. in his previous efforts to
secure vote. defied him.
Senator Foelker, the sick man. tot

A Wild Scene.

r The scene Was the widest ever Wit,
messed In the senate chamber. On
the brows OF the senators stood out
great beads OF perspiration as the last
roll call was started. One could have
heard tfft-afep- of A Pin tseth -stt-
swer TO the call rang out like shout
through the chamber. Notwithstanding
that the tension tended TO subdue the
voices ofothe solons.
After Senator Foelker had cast his
vote. those who had fought so vail
antly for the race track interests
knew that the game was lost:
The face OF Senator McCarren--.
Long Pat" the man of bulldog cour-
age-was a study when hG~Seasure
was declared a ls%. He gulped once
or twice. then Slowly surveyed the
chamber He chewed on a small piece
OF toothpick. His small eyes b4aaea
with fury. Once he leaped TO his
feet, then az abruptly settled back in
his chair. He made no comment.
In the gallery there was the great
est OF enthusiasm, and, of course, the
greatest OF mourning. The lobbyists
who had been working TO Kill the
measure were dumbfounded and they
were not slow 10 voice their rage and
TO predict all kinds of dire happenings
IS the result OF the vote.
Hughes Greatly Pleased.
A special messenger flashed the
news TO Gov Hughes, who was greatly
pleased The executive received con
gratulations from his large following
OF friends and admirers.
Senator Grady moved an amend
ment to have the bills take effect at
the end OF the racing season, but 1t

request that the Journal announce
to the faithful the appointment of

to a government position in Wash

The faithful should not be kept in

to the Republican campaign fund,
and with joyous JUNCTION assured
the followers Of the pie wagon that
without men of this kind the
partywouidn't live to a great age"
THE ARGUS, believing that such
blunt honesty on the part of a
worshipper of the machine was
worthy Of commentator, COM
mcntcd on the homespun philos-
ophy Of the Republican and con-
graduated it for its foresight in
reminding the contributors that
IN future campaigns they would
be expected to go down into the
depths of their jeans and donate
a like amount if the party was to
be "kept alive" But the Repub-
lican refused to accept the COM
pliment in the spirit in which it
was intended and flew off at a tan
gent and accuses THE ARGUS of
complaining" and makes some
reference to"goll'and being chad
ly beaten" in the recent election.
If the gentleman who mixes the
dope for the Republican was capa-
BILE of discussing the political is
sues and the attendant results he
would not impose upon an intel
ligent public such long-winded
editorials which would discredit
the average scullion in jawing
match.
If the last election taught any
lesson it was the fact that the Re
publican with all its wind-iam-
ming could not save Taylor coun-
ty to the Republican party. The
party met with ignominious defeat
In the county Of Taylor, which
the Republican up to the present
time has not attempted to explain.
So much for the influence of the
Republican in Taylor county pol
itics.
Over here in Preston county the
Republican majority has been in
creasing since it fell a victim to
the iron hand Of the ring and the
machine, but the increase failed
to materialize in 1908. In place
OF an increase in 1908 there was
"a corresponding decrease in the
normal majority, and this in a
measure accounts for the sour
grapes which the Republican in
sists on having served each meal
since thp election
If the Republican could be fair
in its public discussions it would
gracefully acknowledge that in
solar as the newspapers were a
controlling factor in deciding the
political contest the Republican
cannot with any degree Of con.
sistency claim tenth prize. So
why cannot it accept Its t1ouncing
and prepare for a similar one in
1910?
