A DRMOcRATIG OPINION

The republican convention 81 Sioux
Falls endorsed the plan of selecting
first and second class postmasters by
an election participated In by the re-
publican patrons OF the Office 10 Ques-
ton. This is another open bid for
democrats to assist in settling republi.
can difficulties aud If the scheme Is
put into operation we predict that they
will respond to the challenge to- q de.
gree unheard OF before. Its going to
be pretty difficult task to carry q
matter to the people and make the
democrats believe they do not belong
10 that classification, especially 10 Q
matter along the pcstoffice llne.-

The Sioux Falls Press is boiling on
all fours at the plank In the republican
platform calling for the repeal Of the
law requiring the publication of insur-
ance statements. In yesterdays Press
is statement column long and by a
company that has been doing business
in the Dakotas since territorial days.
This statement has been held up months
until after the primary and then given
to an insurgent newspaper as reward
for insurging. And the rascal then
wouldn't stay hitched, but bolts the
platform In heavy editorials every other
day! Is it any wonder that in the face
of such inconsistencies as these goodly
share of republicans bolt the party and
even vote for such candidate as Egan
Another two years of similar policy and
Egan will land with an overwhelming
ma iority.

BRYAN is tearing. the democratic party
of Nebraska into ShredS over the ques-
tion of county option. Whenever any
body tries 10 substitute county option
for democratic option in the matter of
the drinks there will be something do

good deal of blood and beer in its war

city council. He has in interview charged that two of
the members controlled by evil influences. Yet when
the point reached of taking stand with the police
members the poor weak wobby and uncertain city council
focked to the of Long John and turned down the
decent of Spokane striving for the beerment Of
wOmanlind.
Look at the attitude Of the city council toward City En-
gineer RalstOn They have tolerated things, knowingly.
that would have cost official his scalp hour S
notice under honestly administered city government
Yet the council lacked the to do what right and
kick Ralston out of office which they should have done
year ago.
Last night the city council found all of the charges
which Former Corporation Counsel Connor made against
John f. Blair, the present incumbent 1t went far
Their and pointed to things and conditions that Connor had
not mentioned Yet the council lacked the moral courage
to follow its hand and lodged the issue by asking Mayor
Pratt to appoint corporation counsel.
There is wonder the people are demanding change
in the form of city government They that anything is
preferable to the present system of divided responsibility
with each side trying to dodge the issue 1t only goes to
show that when the time the people will insist
