FIGHT ON BRYAN.
Seems Likely to Develop at Rhode
Island Democrat Convention.

Providence r. L, March 21.-Un-
less matters are threshed out at
meeting of the executive committee
of the central committee just previous
to the Democratic state convention.
there will be a lively contest in the
convention hall, not only over the
slate of delegates to Denver, but over
the adoption of proposed resolution,
pledging the Rhode Island delegation
to the support of w. J. Bryan.
A contest is also expected over the
challenging of the seats of delegates
The Pawtucket delegates will claim
that the caucus in one ward OF that
city was illegal. If the convention de-
cides favorably, the Providence dele
cation may be affected. inasmuch as
the allegation is made that every ward
in this city disregarded the caucus
law.
1t is alleged that Frank Fitzsim-
mons of Lincoln, chairman of the
state central committee. will preside
over the convention
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1908-03-21

The state convention will be held at
Harrisburg on April 27 when the four
delegates-at-large will be selected. 1t
is not definitely known who the '.big
four will be, but it Is understood that
three of them will be Governor Stuart,
James Elverson, proprietor of the
Philadelphia Inquirer, and Col. Chas.
A Rock, proprietor of the Pittsburg
Dispatch All of them are close per-
sonal friends and great admirers of
Senator Knox, as will be the fourth
one, and they will go to Chicago de-
termined to do everything in their
power to secure the nomination of
Pennsylvania candidate.
Pennsylvania Republicans do not take
any stock in the idea that is being per-
sistently circulated by the Taft man
ayers, that President Roosevelt insists
upon the nomination Of Secretary Taft
as the only man who can be depended
upon to carry out the Roosevelt poll
cies. They remember q statement made
by him at Harrisburg on October A.,
1906, in the presence of vast throng
when he spoke so highly of Senator
Knox as to leave no doubt of his con-
fidence in the senator. Upon that oc-
casion he said:
During the last few years the ma
tiona1 government has taken vesaT long
strides in the direction ~ exercising
and securing this<adequa6e Control over
the great corporations, and it was I'M
W eAAC AAAoSe
honored public men of our country, one
of Pennsylvania's most eminent sons,
the present senator, and then attorney
general, Knox, that the new departure
was begun
That seems to be pretty definite
language, definite enough at least to
suit the Republicans of Pennsylvania.
And this tribute was not an isolated
one by any means, for the president
has taken occasion upon many plat
forms to make equally f1attering
references to Senator Knox's public
record. 1t is In view Of this great
record, and the appreciation of the
president and the public of it. that
the people Of Pennsylvania have con-
fidence in the ultimate decision of
the Chicago convention to nominate
Knox.
While the delegates from the 80
congressional districts will not be
elected until next month, they are
conceded in all estimates to Senator
Knox without question. The Re-
publican state convention held last
June endorsed him unanimously and
since that time he has been favored
with the endorsement of the State
League of Republicans clubs, county
and city committees, so that the party
is thoroughly pledged to his support.

i LAW THAT IS FARCE.

The Law requiring the publication
Of each successful candidates ex-
penses after a regular election is a
farce 1t means absolutely nothing
and can IN nOwiae BE- considered as
a measure for the publication of poll
tics. If the intention in passing il
was 70 prevent corruption it is Of
absolutely no avail. Il is simply, as
it now stands. a miserable pretence
that deceives no one
The publication Of the expenses of
the candidate in the recent state ell
ectiou and county elections held on
on the same date shows that in no
instance did a candidate spend more
than few dollars, in some instances
nothing There was no reason for
any Of them TO do so. Their selec-
ton in the white Democratic prim-
AIRY had meant their election without
opposition in the regular state cleo
ton. The necessity for the expendi-
ture Of money on that day was ae-
cordingly removed BY the white pri-
mary system
But how much was expended in the
primary at which they were made the
party candidates? That is the I'M
answered question except as 10 the
few State officers. The vast mass OF
county and legislative candidates
were not required 10 file any expense
account for the only election at which
there was any likelihood Of corrup-
tion. That there was corruption in
some instances there is hardly Z
doubt.
The law as it now stands is hum
bug, pure and simple. The very frs
thing the legislature should do, if il
really wants to purify politics ana
remove the corrupting influence o.
