SHAM BATTLES

During these many years the
money power has proceeded with
caution. 1t has kept the people
divided over questions that do not
concern the trusts. The great
combines in their onward march
to wealth and power have kept
their trusted men at the helm in
both the republican and demo-
cratic parties.
The conventions at Pueblo and
Denver last week showed plainly
the cunning hand of Moffat, Evans
and their allies behind the scenes
directing two sham battles. Moi
fat, Guggenheim, Evans ct al, first
OF all want to secure the United
States senator and next in order
are the courts and attorney gem
eral. These they secured in both
conventions and they care but little
who is governor or other state
officers. The democratic party en-
dorsed Hughes, and the republi-
can convention sought to bind
every republican representative
who may be elected to enter a
caucus and abide the results for
United States senator.

A GREAT DEMOCRATIC Gov
ERNOR

Is the title of an exceptionally inter
esting and concise study of Gov. John
A. Johnson of Minnesota in The
Worlds Work for April. Mr.. Winthrop
3. Chamberlain, the author. sums up
somewhat as follows; Gov. Johnson
fas often been compared with Lin
coin. whom he resembles in physical
makeup as well as in the success
with which he has overcome un-
toward circumstances and has em-
braced opportunity as ii arose. But his
political career thus far recalls rath-
err that of Grover Cleveland up to the
time of his triumphant election as gcv-
ernor of New York Like Cleveland, he
was the instrument used by the peo-
rle of a great state to rebuke political
corruption. Like Cleveland. he has
proved that the popular reliance upon
him was we'll founded. But he pos
sesses some characteristics valuable
in public man that Cleveland lacked
such as geniality, approachability
readiness as a speaker He has the
courage of Hughes tempered by the
tact of Taft. He is as convinced Of
the supreme necessity of law enforce
ment as Roosevelt. but impulsive de
nunciation of those who do not agree
with him would be quite foreign tc
his character 1t is the charm OF his
personality that makes a friend o.
every man who comes within the ra
dius of his influence. Often radica
in utterance, he is usually conserv
alive In action. Conservative states
nanship he has never as yet shown
in great measure, yet he is sensitive
to the thoughts of the masses an,
knows how to give IT effective ez
preston.

districts are taking deep interest IN
the matter. They have not forgotten
the experience which they have al
ready gone through this year and they
are in no hum n TO submit to another
"mass convention One such exp eri-
ence is quite enough for generation.
Men who put up such schemes and
force them through have no regard for
the democratic party. They only want
to carry through their own selfish
plans and they do not care if it wrecks
and ruins the party.
Such party men are always ready to
cry out after, they have outraged the
party, that those Who object to their
actions are injuring the organization
when they raise their voices in protest.
This is going on right now and is
being worked for oil it is worth. These
same gentle men had better thought of
the sequences of their conduct be-
fore they committed such an outrage.
IF people submit to Acknowledgement
without protest they may expect
worse in the future and the democrats
of Berkely county have ente.ed pro-
test that is most emphatic and they
are forever and eternally right.
Such politI IS may be worked in the
republican party but never with the
independent manly democrats of this
county, The United States Fish Com
missioner may come here. organize his
mass conventions, have himself APP
pointed committee to select delegates
to conventions and return to Washing
ton on the next train, but there is no
man or even set of men big enough to
handle the democrats of Berkeley coun-
ty in that way. They have the pecu-
| liarity about them of insisting on at
! tending 70 their own business and es-
pecialIy that of selecting their own
representatives to conventions.

The personal enemies of Co. John
II. McGraw at Denver charged that he
was being supported by the Standard
Oil Company and the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad which showed how alb
surd their opposition was. There was
not syllable of the charges true. A
little reflection by any one who was at
all interested in politics as far back as
1896 shows how the corporations OPP
posed Mr.. Bryan. They know also
that all the rich men in the STATE bolt
ed Mr.. Bryan ard that Mr.. McGraw
was the only man of any considera-
bic means who stood by the ticket.
Until that time Mr.. McGraw had been
attorney for the b. IL o. railroad in
Taylor county and when requested by
President Cowen to abandon Mr.. Bryan
Mr. McGraw gave him to understand
that he was his own man and would
do as he pleased. He was dropped as at
torne, and Judge Ira w. Robinson
appointed at his place, This history
is SO recent that most all cen recall. Mr..
McGraw plainly wrote Mr.. Cowan
that his professional duties could not
interfere with the political rights and
that if his official relation contllcted
that he would not hesit' tie one moment
but would sever lis relation with the
B.& Dat once. Another bit of history is
that when McGraw was candidate
for the United States Senate it was the
Sta dard Oil interests that defeated
him. These absurd charges only show
how far these enemies of Mr.. McGraw
will go to defeat WORTHY man. FROM
1895 to the present time Mr.. McGraw
has been the very life blood OF the
democ attic party. Had it not been ioi
him there would not have been any
org IMITATION in the state. lie has sac
rlfced more labor, time and means III
the interest of the party and for Mr.
Bryan personally than any other TWEEN
ty individuals in the state.
Mr.. McGraw has been most gener-
Gus and unselfish leader. lie has neVel
gotten anything out of the party bu'
has always worked for the genera
good Of the party. His generosity was
shown at Denver when he, with fui
control of the situation put his bitter
est enemies in the foremost positions
