OLD REP REGISTERS
AN OLD TIME KICK

Well, what do YOU think OF the
men selected by the republican cen
trail committee to go the state con-
vcntion, Same old bunch that )
been going for twenty-five years.
Is there no new blood III the party
can be trusted If our SONS nave
all depcncratcd, became insurgents
are not good enough to send |"
state convention, according to the
standpatters IDEAS, who can blame
them for voting with party tia'
believes in free speech, tree press
and a squire deal
Then again, what has become OF
our old system of letting the people
select the delegates Are the PEG
pie to longer be truatcd' Are they
too igorant! The bunch perhaps
thought 50. 1t was Il very tame
atfrir to say the least, but IT could
have at least been fair.
The tactics employed shows the
work of the fine Italian hand OF
the professional politicians, All
know that Austin Mlrca and t.. X
Brown are open and aNowcd insur-
gents. They must either take
their medicine now OF KICK over
the traces. 1t is proposed t" hold
en- in line and demonstrate to
them in the state convention that
they are absolutely too inslgnii-
cant in politics to even make a
shadow big enough to cover the
track of gnat heels We shall sec
what we shall see.

THE SIZING UP Of
MR.. PO|NDEXTER

TO those who have followed the
career of Congressman Miles Poin-
dexter since he was elected to a
seat in the lower house at Washing
ton, the announcement that ex
President Roosevelt will aid him in
his fight for a scat III the United
States senate to succeed Senator
Piles, will occasion little SURPRISE
That he has gained grasp on nat
ional affairs seldom if ever attained
by new members OF that body in so
short a time, IS the universal tcsti-
mony Of his colleagues. That he
is one of The ablest and most ag-
gressive two hsted fighting men in
the house of representatives, is
shown by his work in the fight for
better rules and the shcarng of
Speaker Cannon of his despotiC
power. This is task he marked
ont for himself when he took his
seat two years ago although at that
time the undertaking seemed a
hopeless one. To day, behold the
result.
Nor have hi, efforts been Goblin
cd to the fight on the rules. On
the tariff he fought for a schedule
which would accord the poor man
and the consumer, protection from
the ravages of trusts and monopol-
les which have been built up large
~ because of unreasonable high
rates on staples and the necessaries
of life, examples Of which are the
WOODEN and sugar schedules. And
while the passage of the Payne
AldriCh bill was secured by the
interests, the work of the insur-
gents served to expose in it, one
of the most gigantic frauds of the
century. Upon this rock the re-
publican party has split. Here the
Congressman Poindexter allied
himself with the people and voted
with the minority for the perpetual
ton of equal opportunity of livi-
hood for every man.
His career during the session
Just ended, was made significant
in the closing days by his fight on
the railroad bill which is generally
conceded to have been framed by
the railroads for their own specific
benefit. Its RIGHTEOUSNESS is every
where recognized and that it was
rewritten and shorn of its wicked
features, is due no other influence
than that of such men as CONGRESS
man Poindexter and his few col
leagues in the house and their CO.
workers in the senate led bv this
instance by Senators Cummins and
LaFollette.

THE big fight between Johnson

the past and Johnson won without
an effort. Prize fighting is dis
grace to our civilization and We
need laws that will forever prevent
another fight, big or little, taking
place in America. These fights
are brutal, degrading and disgrace
full and should be prohibited by
