1t was on the cards, after the great
mogul of the Ninth Congressional dis
trlct Democrats, Henry C. Stuart, gave
bis permission for the Democrats of the
Third Senatorial district to run a candi-
date for State Senate, that G. w. Doak
should be the nominee, it being the idea
OF some of the machine" workers of
TINS county that 1t would be good idea
TO placate the insurgents in the late pri-
mary In this way. The bunch, how
ever, having the matter in charge failed
TO tgure on the implacability of the real
machine rulers who neither forgets or
forgives, so when the Democratic coun-
ty committee met Tuesday to select a
candidate for the Senate, the remaining
counties meekly bowling to the dictates
OF the machine, to "give it to Taze-
well, the Rev. C.. R. Brown received
the nomination.
There may have been another reason
for the swapping of horses in the mid
die OF the stream, for one of the ma
chine leaders of the county said week
before the ''proclaiming'' of the candi-
date that Charlie has more money than
Bill, and gives down better, thus
giving the Republicans notice that the
Senatorial campaign of this year Is to
be repetition of the notorious Stuart
campaign of 1910, when an unlimited
amount of money was spent in the So
called effort to redeem the Ninth"
