The defeat of Congressman Taw.

The defeat of Congressman Taw-
ney, a rank stand-patter, by an in
surgent republican in the Minnese
ia republican primaries is another
indication of what is going to hap
pen in November. The people
have made up their minds To Sc
cure relief from the iniquities of
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law and
they are determined to eliminate
obstacles that get in the way.
Congressman Tawney is a favorite
of President Taft, having been an
ardent supporter of administra-
ton policies, but this fact hindered
rather than helped him in his fight
for a denomination. He lined up
with the wrong crowd this year.

His PAST Record Briefly Review
Cd ~ One Who watched

ed BY One VINO watched
Him
SaVoyardi one Of the most
famous newspaper writer's Of the
nation pays his respect to Marion
Butler, the versatile and shift
ing boss Of the republican party,
as follows:
There is q recrudescence of
Marion Butlerism in North Caro-
lima, and if Mirabeau had been
endowed with the cunning and
finesse of the aforesaid Marion
Napoleon Bonaparte would have
been heard of.
Here is a sample: Butler was
a state senator. He was a far
mers' alliance man, but a democ-
rat, agin the republicans, agin the
populists, and especially agin the
niggers, for he named his news
paper the Caucasian. Well, the
Epops proposed to hold a conven-
tion in Buffers county while he
was away from home. Butler
called in council some of his dem
ocratic friends and announced
that he was going home and
squelch the meeting. He got on
the train and rushed back 10 his
constituents. demonstrated with
them, when they laid down the
law to him that he should preside
over the pow-wow, or they run
him into private life. He pre-
sided, all right, and that made
him senator in congress.
1t reminds me Of a story of
that maryelously gifted man, the
late Ben Butterworth, whose
parents were Quakers. They
thought they discovered in their
17-year-old son some signs of
unorthodoxy, and the mother OPP
pointed her husband to have a
serious talk with Ben and exon
else the devil of which it was
manifest that he was possessed.
Father and son met and had
a through discussion of "religi-
Gus subjects" and the result was
that the boy confounded the old
men. Progress was reported to
the mother, who s~cronfully said
to her lord: "Ther's a nice one !
I sent thee out to convert the
heather, and thee returns a hea-
then th~yselfi''
Butler went out to convert the
pops and came back a pop him
self.
And so he got to the senate of
the United States, where he did
more to abuse Gods patience and
confound the Kings English than
any other man of my time. It
was simply impossible to tell what
the man was driving at when his
was Ha-making of a speech, =
and that was his normal state.
Nobody understood him, not even
himself. There was an ocean of
what Tom Reed called ''lanwige"
and not an atom of intelligent
thought. I know a young man
of Kentucky, a blue-blooded fell
low, a bluegrass chap. who is
throughtly convinced that he is
made of better clay than anyone
of the "Pennyrile,' set. Hens of
the very aristocracy of the land,
the cream de la cream of that
citizenship. Well, won $25 from
him and he welshed'' it. He is
not made of clay, but of soap
stone and very rotten soap-stone,
at that.
And the Hon. Butler, now boss
of the republicans in North Caro-
lima, as long as he was in the sen
ate asseyerated that his politics
was just a little better than any
other politics; butt could never
understand him, though freq
uently I got amusement from list
ening to the olapodrida he daily
dished up.
