quarters, large in amount though it may
be, is but a bagatelle compared with the
aggregate which is made necessary by
the campaigns in the various States.
This is especially true of the States in
which direct primaries have been held
There. is nothing more costly in modern
politics than these primaries. Senator
Stephenson expended over 100000 in
Wisconsin, and while this sum may be
excessive, any one familiar with political
campaigns can see how IT might easily
have been expended for organization,
publicity, campaign tours, and other le-
gitimate purposes without a single dol
lar having been diverted into corrupt
channels. The Senatorial primaries in
Maryland cost over $1,000 when there
was only one candidate. and $4,000 was
easily the cost of choosing two Sena-
tors from Virginia If Senatorial pri-
mary costs so much. what must be ex-
pended in State when the Presidential
Office is the stake at issue:
No one can tell. All the campaign pub
licity laws in the United States will not
give an accurate record. The fight in
North Dakota between Roosevelt and
La Toilette, to say nothing of the work
done for the President, drained some
body's purse of a large sum. La Fol-
lette's organization and campaign in his
own State meant considerable expendi-
ture There are to be primaries in other
States, and the contests over the Sc
lection of delegates are already certain
to be as bitter and as costly as a regular
election. Even in States where State
wide primaries are not to be held, there
is much expense connected with the con-
ventions. Money must be disbursed
through a thousand channels.

WICKERSHAM'S s
. PRISON REFORMS
ATTORNEY GENERAL MEETING
WITH ENCOURAGING RESULTS
IN HUMANITARIAN" SCHEME.

Washington, Dec. Attorney
General Wickersham is meeting with
most encouraging results in his at
tempt to put into effect his human
itarian" scheme as affecting the
handling of federal prisoners.
The plan has been contemplated
for some time and Mr. Wickersham
is basing his reforms to a consid-
cradle extent on information gained
bv an inspection of the fedora,
prison at Atlanta several months
ago. Before putting it thoroughly
into effect, however he will make
another visit to Atlanta in the next
few weeks and may also visit Fort
Leavenworth. The other prison l.
at McNeils Island, Washington.
The attorney generals reforms are
somewhat like those adopted by the
navy, which about a year ago estab-
lished a disciplinary or detention
camp at Port Royal, S. c., for hand-
ling those prisoners who are serving
their first or short sentences or who
are regarded as not habitually Grim
inal
As a result OF segregating the pris-
oners, the naval authorities are con-
vinced that most favorable results
have already been obtained.
Attorney General Wickersham has
not gone so far as to establish sep
arate camps for prisons for the seq
regation of convicts, but he proposes
to adopt a more humane treatment
of the prisoners such as may be
calculated to effect reforms.
The prisoners at Atlanta, the at
torney general found, were being
served their meals at long tables
under rules of silence. Under the
new arrangements they will be seat
ed at smaller tables, eight at a ta-
BILE, and will be allowed to talk
with each other during their meals,
to discuss the outcome of the cleo
tion or other topics of the day.
IL was found that most of the ill
health among the prisoners was due
to their lack of outdoor exercises.
The attorney general discovered
among the convicts former enlist
ed man of the Marine Corps, and
he has set this man to work put
ting the convicts through regular
drills and exercises. More liberties
will be allowed those who rate
good conduct"
New ratings are being made and
the reforms will be put into effect
at the other prisons. There are
about 900 prisoners at Atlanta, about
1,400 at Leavenworth and about 400
at McNeills Island.

WASHINGTON, Dec 3.-In taking
stock of the progressive sentiment in
the senate with a view to crowding
the reacdonary republicans to the
rear and substituting control by the
progressive element in the senate
for the present reactionary control.
the democrats lave come FACE to
face with condition which they
had not taken into their calculations
They found tremulous uncertainty
existing among the band Of insur-
gent republicans. who stood firm as
wall against the reactionaries in
the tariff fight Of 1909 and the cor
poration control fights in 1910.
Democrats who sought to feel the
insurgents out On a working agree.
ment for organization of the senate
and legislation iound not only two
hostile camp-a La Toilette camp
and Roosevelt camp-hut found
both camps more or less uncertain as
to where they light in final lineup.
Senator Barah is clearly for a re-
uniting Of the party by leaving out
of leadership the extreme reaction
aries on one hand and the extreme
Roosevelt partisans on the other.
Senator Cummins would lead the
whole insurgent rank and file back
into the republican fold He is ready
to vote against any democrat, or
even AGAINST an .nsurgent for presi-
dent pro TEN of the senate, by in
dicatng his readiness to vote for
Senator Gallinger one of the arch
reactionaries in congress.
Senator Cummins is also ready to
go into the republican caucuses, con-
trolled by the stand -patters, for an
agreement on the tariff fight next
session.
Senator BriStow is wavering, but
has indicated doubt whether he
would go into a caucus dominled
| by Senators Crane, Gallinger, Smoot
and others of that faction. Still,
he is not ready to give assurances
| to democrats. Senator Dixon, Of
course. is expected to act on sig
nails from Armageddon The demo-
Gratis are still hoping that when Sen
ator La Toilette gets on the scene
| for action there will be some under
standing between the scattered and
undecided insurgents. There may
be clarifying of atmospheric after
the general conference of pogressr
i've party leaders in Chicago on Dec.
10, but the democrats are not putting
much faith in results from that
event. They aro more hopeful Of
results from the policy which Pres
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1912-12-04

ident Taft has indicated he might
follow in cutting off the heads of all
republican office holders who voted
for Roosevelt before and after the
Chicago convention.
The democrats take the position
that if the insurgents would remain
a separate party in the senate, they
will receive the consideration to
which a party that polled the second
largest popular vote will be entitled,
whereas, if they go into the re-
publican caucus they will receive
such consideration as the majority
of the republicans will permit them
to have.
But here comes a new development
Several Of the insurgent leaders by
March 4 will have acquired consid-
cradle seniority themselves, notably
Senators Clapp, La Toilette. Bristow,
Cummins and Borah. They will stand
pretty high in the list of longest
service, and, therefore, may have as
surances of being pretty well taken
care of by the regular republicans
IN caucus.
Meanwhile the stand-pat leaders
on the republican side are not idle.

They held a conference this morn
ing and laid lines for bringing about
a united support of the republicans
for Senator Gallnger for presiding
officer of the senate until March 4.
Tho conference was attended b.
Senators Smoot, Galiinger. Clark of
Wyoming, MoCumber, Crane, Lodge
and Cullom.
The conference also discussed the
selectio nof a successor to the late
Col Ransdell as sergeant of arms
of the senate, but no action look

funeral of Col Ransdell.
