"He Came Back. I"

Although selected against his
wishes, and over his own very
strong protest, yet coming in a
manner such that it could not be
refused, Fred Zutavern, in years
gone by one of the Democratic
war horses, has Come Back" and
Is the chairman of the committee.
Mr.. Zutavern felt that he had al
ready served his time in politics,
and did not seek the job of chair
man, but, recognizing in him one
OF the foremost citizens of the
county, one whose acquaintance
IS limited only by the inhabitants
OF the county, a man of good exc
cutive ability, and a man above
. reproach, the committee and the
candidates were more than eager
Tor him to accept the responsible
ltv which he has. We predict the
1910 campaign in Barton county
will be ably managed, a clean cam
palgn, and one in which victory
will perch upon the banners of
the Democratic ticket.

The Value of Primaries.

Those who think that the high
est duty of a public man is to a.
void being turned down, will find
food for reflection in Mr.. RoOse-
velt's first experience after re-
entering politics. When he reach
ed New York he found special
session Of the legislature wrest-
ling with the primary bill recon-
mended by Governor Hughes. He
at once entered the fight and in
sisted upon the passage of the prt
mary bill, but the measure which
he endorsed was turned down by
both the senate and the house. In
an editorial in the Outlook, July
9, he defends his position, and
calls attention to the fact that
the bill was supported by a major
lty Of the republicans in both the
senate and the house, but was de-
feated because minority of the
republicans joined with a major
ity Of the democrats to oppose it.
Mr.. Roosevelt will be stronger in
stead of weaker for having en-
dOrsed the measure, provided, of
course, the provisions of the meas
ure prove satisfactory to the pub
lie. Without a knowledge of the
details of the bill The COmmOner
could not express an opinion as to
that particular bill, but it is in
favor of the primary plan and it
believes that the voters, without
respect of party, favor the prin-
cipleS embodied in the primary.
In defending the measure which
be supported, Mr.. Roosevelt says:
In its essence this is a move
ment to make the government more
democratic, more responsive to
the wishes and needs of the peo-
pie as a whole. With our polite
| al machinery it is essential that
We have an efficient party, but
the machinery ought to be suited
tt democratic and not Oligarchic
customs and habits. The queS-
tons whether in a self-governing
republic we shall have self-gOvern
ing parties is larger than that
particular bill. We hold that the
right of popular self-gOvernment
is incomplete unless it includes
the right of the voters not mere
ly to choose between candidates
that have been nominated, but al
so the right to determine who the
candidates shall be-"
Mr.. Roosevelt is right. The pri-
mary is a democratic idea and the
COmmOner is gratified to have Mr..
Roosevelt defend it upon the
ground that it is democratic that
it is intended to make the gov
more responsive to the
wishes Of the people. But how

We cannot understand why any
Democrat should seriously con-
template casting a vote for W. R.
Stubs. While Stubs processes
to believe in some democratic
principles, he lacks the honesty to
come out squarely on a democrat
ic platform. Stubs invites demo
cratic support, but insists upon
calling himself a republican. We
can understand how a democrat
might prefer Stubs to corpora
ton democrat, but as between Mr.,
Stubs and Senator Hodges a Kan

eide in favor of the democratic
nominee, who stands for all that
