What is a Political Party7

Minnesota has never declared for
the initiative, referendum and recall.
But the same convention that en-
dorsed Senator Clapp for reelection
the last time declared for President
Taft, approved his administration
and declared for reciprocity with
Canada.-Duluth News Tribune.
Thus doth Charley Mitchell begin
one of his characteristic editorials in
which he roasts Senator Clapp for
the active part he has taken lately
in the propaganda for those good old
populist doctrines of the initiative
and referendum and the recall. He
closes his criticism Of the senator
with this sentence:
Gust criticism Of any public Off
Ger is not to be condemned, but a
heavy weight should hang about the
neck Of those who seek to lead the
people by misleading them, and the
reason for whose course is but thinly
disguised under the cloak of pre-
tended soicitude for the people,"
All the same, there is some good
sense in the point the News Tribune
raises. 1t is.a good thing that Sen
ator Clapp agitates for these funda-
mental reforms. We really had our
misgivings about his sincerity when
he went up and down the state a
year ago and helped elect with the
progressive talks he made the beau
tiful legislature and state admins
tration which are now being de-
nounced as being unfit by the very
people who were fooled to vote for
them. Now we see that he means to
be progressive alright, and is about
ready to cut loose from the old gang.
We honor him for it. It shows and
proves his courage. But still, isn't
the News Tribune right?
What business has Clapp, La Fol
lette, ct al, to pose as Republicans,
when their party has never declared
for the principles they advocate? W.
heard Senator Clapp make a very
eloquent speech in this county last
fall upon the necessity Of politica1
parties in our form Of government

He also declared that a party must
be true to its principles. Now We
would like to inquire where we are
to find the principles Of a political
party, if not in their political plat
forms? The progressive movement
is in reality the beginning of new
political party, for it's members can
not remain with the Republican par
ty without disqualification, after
the next national platform refuses to
permit them to write in these popu-
listic doctrines into the Republican
creed.
As We understand it, the members
Of national party must abide by its
national platform on national issues.
In the primary elections and conven-
tons it may declare for prohibition,
free trade, the recall, or anything
which it's members may wish to write
into the national platform. But when
the national convention meets it
passes upon the orthodoxy Of these
issues by means Of the platform it
promulgates. If the national party
declares for the license policy, pro-
lection, against the recall, then these
local divisions must either repudiate
their party, or else recant their pol
itical beliefs to conform with the ma
tional platform. A party cannot be
for prohibition in Kandiyohi county
and at the same time stand for IL
cense in the State Of Minnesota. The
leaders have been putting up this
game to fool the voters for many
years, and will probably succeed in
doing it again and again, but never
theless it is inconsistent and those
who are practicing this deception of
the voters are guilty Of political CHI
canery.
AS a matter Of fact, the man who
believes in the principles Of direct
legislation and direct nominations
must give up his old ideas Of polit-
ical parties. The logical result Of
the adoption Of these principles will
be the abolition Of those impediments

Three instruments Of Representative
Democracy,

Mr.. President, constitution and
statutes and all the complex details
of government are but instruments
created by the citizen for the order
ly execution of his will. Whenever
and wherever they fail, they will be
so changed as to make them effective
to execute and express the well-con-
sidered judg ment Of the citizen.
For over and above constitutions
and statutes, and greater than all, is
the supreme sovereignty of the peo-
Pile!
We need not fear, Mr.. President.
This is the peoples Government.
They will not destroy it. They will
not permit organized privilege to
destroy it's vital principle. They will
restore and forever preserve it as a
Government that shall be truly re-
preventative Of the will Of the peo-
pie. ~ ..~ .-
They know that the initiative and
referendum will place in the hands
Of the people the power to protect
themselves against the mistakes or
indifferences Of their representatives
in the legislature. Then it will al
ways be possible for the people to
demand a direct vote and to repeal
a bad law which the legislature has
enacted, or to enact by direct vote a
good measure which the Legislature
has refused to consider.
The recall will enable the people to
dismiss from public service a repres-
entative whenever he shall cease ia
serve the public interest. Then nc
Jackpot politician can hold his office
III defiance of the will Of a constitu-
ency whose commission he has dis
honored.
Wherever representative govern
ment fails, it fails because the re-
preventative proves incompetent Of
false to his trust. Intrenched in Of
fee for his full term his constitu-
ency is powerless and must submit
to misrepresentation. There is no
way to correct his blunders or ia
protect his betrayal. At the expira.
ton Of his service he may be rep]ac-
ed by another who will prove equally
unworthy. The citizen is entitled to
some check, some appeal, some re-
lief, some method of hating and cor
recting the evils Of misrepresenta-
ton and betrayal. From speech
by Senator r. NJ. LaFollette in the
United States Senate, May 26, 1911

The new creamery proposed for
Brooten is being promoted by pro-
gressive bunch of farmers. Some Of
the important features Of their by:
laws are rather unusual. Cream is
to be paid for according to quality,
two grades Of cream to be bought.
A difference of three cents per pound
of fat in favor of the best grade. To
be the best grade cream must be
sweet and clean in flavor and no
cream shall be accepted that cannot
be made into good butter. The but
termaker shall judge as to which
grade the cream belongs. Another
provision is that shareholder may
sell to a competitor by having his
cream weighed and tested at the CO.
operative creamery and pay one cent
per pound butterfat toward the
maintenance Of the creamery. The
company has also reserved the right,
if thought advisable, to gradually re-
tire the stock from the proceeds of
the business. After all the stock has
been retired any patron contributing
cream to the factory for six consec-
utive months becomes a member of
the association with the right to
vote. This provision is not in force
but the right to put it in force was
reserved, ....e.r

the fraternity only by application to the
worthy grand exchecquer of the
ciety. and that every pin shall be num-
bered. Every man will get pin after
his initiation. and another will not be
issued to him unless he returns the orig
inal pin
Arrangements were started for a BAN

ification depends. will not be debated by
parliament until after the conference. 1t
was to have been discussed in February.
