Colorado Alone Fails

Colorado is the only one OF the four
states that were deadlocked on the
election of a United States senator
whose legislature has failed to elect.
New York, Iowa and Montana all
finally found their way out of the
labyrinth of discord and confusion and
rescued their constitutional right to
have two senators in Washington.
Colorado will be represented by only
one for the next two years, and that
one republican, though the state is
otherwise in the hands of the demo-
Gratis and its legislature overwhelm-
ingly democratic.
The interests" seem to have been
strong enough in Colorado to the last
to prevent a choice Unsatisfactory to
them. Evidently they had agreed on
Mayor Speer of Denver and when his
election was blocked his hackers de-
cided the state should have none other,
so the legislature adjourned without
action. When the lieutenant governor
dropped his gavel in token of final adj
ljournment he said: II am ringing
down the curtain on the greatest farce
comedy in the political history of
Colorado"
This probably is an accurate de-
scription, though Colorado has wit
messed many farce comedies in poll
tics. The democrats come out of this
one with little to their credit. 1t was
due to minority, not majority, that
1.-The interests" did not get their man,
but the minority was not strong
enough to complete victory against
the interests. Colorado may feel that

cancy than with the kind of demo-
cratic senator It so narrowly escaped

Money IN Politics

Prof. Merriam's- unsuccessful race
for mayor of Chicago against Carter
Harrison cost s13S,000, according to
the report filed. That is an enormous
expenditure and discouraging to the
man without money or some way of
getting it who may aspire to public
Office No one has questioned the
Legitimacy of Prof. Merriam's collec-
lions nor outlay. He ran as the nom
inee of the good government organ
izations, which undoubtedly financed
his campaign, obtaining the money by
contributions. That fact does not
lessen the disbursement which nat
urally arises from such showing.
Carter Harrison ran on the oppos-
ing platform and was supported,
among others, by the corrupt powers,
whether by COLLISION or not makes no
difference so far as the results are
concerned. 1t might logically be
argued that he, or his force, was able
to command even greater sums of
money than the Merriam crowd. Who
put up the Harrison funds has not
been authoritatively announced,
though the anti-Harrison newspapers
sought by every means to find out dur
ing the campaign. Since his sup
porters included the machine cohorts
in Chicago politics. his financial back
ers could scarcely have been opposed
to these machine agencies.
The effect of the disclosure is to dis
courage men who would enter politics
purely upon the basis of merit and
absolutely to ignore from all consid-
Grafton the old principle of the once
seeking the man. When a man OF
high character, coming before tho peo-
pie as the chosen representative OF
the good government forces, has to
spend $4,000 TO lose, 1t is time to
wonder where we are heading In our
political reforms.

safeguard the deposits of state money
as well. But the new order OF things
will either force the treasurer to put
all state deposits into state banks or
az will penalize national banks that

Tacoma is showing an expeetant world
how much fun can be got out of the recall

On April 5, the women, the saloonkeepers
and other citizens OF Tacoma held a spe-
cial election TO recall Mayor Fawcett. They
voted with such vigor that none OF the
three candidates got the requisite majority,
and had 1t not been such rare sport the
day might havet been considered wasted.
They held another special election ten
days later, and this time the panacea
PANIED out and Mayor Fawcett made way
for Mayor Seymour
Time passed and politics became dull in
Tacoma. But on May the clouds lifted
and another special election blossomed
forth to recall the four city commissioners
AlaGl The new weapon had become rusty
from fortnights long disuse and 1t failed
to decapitate these officials at one swift

election was ''npt decisive" than 1t bravely
called for another to be held on May IS.
