Young. from whom the certificate OF
nomination taken by the State
Democratic committee to-day. fred
a broadside at the state organization.
headed by Senator Martin ana at E.
K. Holland, supposed choice of SEN
ator Martin for Congress from this
district.
In an address to the voters he as
serts he is Il victim Of political ex-
pediency." He says that while he
believes he was the nominee OF the
party in the recent primary. he hac
been too long a member OF tho
Democratic party not TO submit to
the decision Of the party authorities,
yet at the same time he says lit Is
but just to myself state that | was
made the vfcim OF political expedi-
ence In the recent investigation and
was offered up as a vtcarious sacri-
Ace by the controlling power In the
party, who hoped thereby to divert
and still Statewide movement UNI
friendly to that power"
He says that he feels he was sac
riftced. not so much for the Demo-
cratic party as for an element within
that party OF which he say Il am.
of course. not the representative III
the coming primary. Some other
candidate, ne says. is Its protege
and who he IL II Is not difficult to
determine. l have not yet deserted
friend. and l am OF nature to
resent an unjust blow, no matter how
artfully concealed the source from
which it proceeds or the selfish mo-
tives which actuate IT,"
THE question now before the voters
IL whether they are TO allow a move
nent originally In behalf Of the people
and fair elections to be fully diverted
to selfish ends by the nomination of a
candidate on whom the controlling
power can rely for aid In the coming
contests. Can all the people be fooled
all the time:"
1t looks now like a permanent break
between the state machine" and Its
Second district cog.
