WHAT PRIMARIES MEAN.

The Statesman has been ever in
sistent upon colored voters particlpat-
ing in party primaries. 1t has used
argument and entreaty. we now
wish to cite an example of what prl-
maries mean to us, one SO near at
home, so clear in its effect upon the
races we'll being, that it should wipe
away all Indifference to this most ne
cessary act of the citizen.
Not many years ago A. M. Steven
son, who is prominent in city and
state politics in the Republican party,
extended his efforts into the national
game. being Colorado's member OF
the national committee. This com
mittee exercises supervising powers
over party primaries all over the
ceuntry. In the trial of contests
which arose in some southern states,
like Virginia, it was shown that lilly
white" Republicans actually eliminat-
ed the Negro Republican by refusing
to permit him to participate in the
urinary elections held. Mr.. Steven
son opposed this elimination. He was
a leader in the fight to nnseat the del
egations of ..lily-whites" elected in
these primaries They were unseat-
ed. In other words, SO far as the Re-
publican party in its national super
vision of party methods was con-
cerned, it struck "a blow at d1sfran-
chisement. Colorado Negroes who
participated in Republican primaries
here contributed to this end. Their
votes were as powerful as any of
equal number in eleoting him national
committeeman. We therefore argue
that we are neglectful of "a sacred
trust which we owe our race, when
we voluntarily surrender the 'oppor'
tunity we have to do something for 1t.
Senator Simon Guggenheim is now
occupying the place which Mr.. Stew
enson filed SO we'll that We are crate
full to him. Our support of the sen
ator in his fight for this place gives
lis ground for asking his friendly Of
fees for us.
Let the voter who has .relinquished
any of his rights bear in mind that
insignificant as his single vote is, 1t
is his all, aud is immeasurably great
er than the vote that is not cast.

RULE OR RUIN!

1t appears that we have been too
charitable in OFT opinions of the pro
moter of the state political lcOmbina-
ton recently formed. We We're slow
to believe that a man could invite
his friends to form an organization
which would in turn endorse him for
delegate to the national Republican
convention, and then he able to use
that endorsement effectively.
But we never believed that any
man. after protesting such faith in
race organization, would be the one
to Get an example of rule or Illin
when the race, through its real repl
resentatives, would express an 9pin-i
ion that be should not be supportedl
in his am bition. In saying this 1t is
not our purpose to force our opinions
on our readers as to the motives Oh

what it Will
On March II. Mr.. BrOoks was en-.
dorsed as delegate to the national
convention by league composed Oh
persons whom be invited HIS was
the only name presented. On March
26 six colored delegates to the state
convention met in Colorado springs
in caucus. Mr.. Brooks being one OF
them, to discuss how best to get rep
resentation for colored Republicans.
They deemed delegate beyong tneir
reach and refused to endorse MI
prooks for that honor by vote OF

Mr. brooks cast for himself. having
decided in the meanwhile to try 1oI
alternate instead of delegate. inc

delegations from all over the state 1o'
their choice and were given strong
assurances of help toward getting
their man on the slate. But in the
meanwhile Brooks, having no dele
gates as spokesmen, fell back on mis-
Pueblo co-workers, who raised grea'
hue and cry about the injustice done
him and his superior merit over the
caucus nominee. They spent most OF
Tuesday night and all Wednesday
morning telling their tale OF woe
Wednesday afternoon when the con
yention made it's selections, the 1nev
table result was seen in the absence
of colored man from the ticket
named. Yet Mr. Brooks is glorying In
his ability as a fighter. He thinks
he has vindicated his manhood.
1t is too bad that he did not expend
more effort in getting colored men
friendly to him into the convention
It is too bad that his self-esteem
would not allow him to accept the
choice of the majority. 1t is too bad
that he seeks to drag the inevitable

tive should be the steward OF the pub

a public trust" and that all public Of
ficers are the agents and servants. In

believe the time has come for the good
of the people as a whole, to have
change and to open the books, not on
ly in the nation, but here in good old
Wayne county as well.
We pledge this convention to the
nomination of candidates for county
offices, every one of whom will meas

and if elected, that they will Zealously

Short Talks Made.
Short talks were made by Charles B.
Beck, Sixth District Democratic chair,
man and Earl Crawford. of Benton
vile, Fayette county, candidate for
joint representative from Wayne and
Fayette counties, before the commit
tees made their reports.
Chairman Beck urged all Democrats
to register, saying that if all Demo
Gratis in the county and state register
ed and voted in November that there
was not the least doubt but that Sam
uel M. Ralston would occupy the guber'
Material chair; Finly Gray would bs
sent back to Washington and the en-,
elected. Mr.. Beck's remarks were re,
ceived with applause by the delegates
assembled.
This is the most important meeting
ever held by Democrats in Wayne
county" Mr.. Beck declared. 1--WE will
elect every man we nominate here to-
day. Let us pick the strongest men
and then work for their election.
Every Democrat should see to it
that other Democrats register. AL
though the registration law could be
amended in some respects, it is the
greatest law ever enacted by the leg
islature of this state. So far more
Democrats have registered than Re
publicans. The Democrats have the
chance of life time. Especially is this
true in Wayne county"
Speaking of the registration law
Mr. Beck referred to the law as one
which protects the rights of voters
He declared that in Lake county four
years ago 5000 foreigners, who had
no right to vote, did 80. He said that
the new law was passed to prevent oc
currences of this kind.

DISSOLUTION
Of ST NDARD
OIL FARC|CAL
Declares Attorney Inter
meyer and He Says He
Will Prove 1t Before the
Case Is Ended.
(1lational News Association)

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-That the
pany was a farce and will be proved
such was the declaration made today
by Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for
The Waters, Pierce Oil company, de-
PENDANT in a suit brought to force it
70 recognize as directors three men
elected last February and rejected
from the board on the claim that they
were representatives of the Standard
OIL company, who sought by such a
method to regain control of the com
pany.
I'VE have summoned over thirty
witnesses and before we have finished
with them we expect to show that the
so-called dissolution of the Standard
OIL company as ordered by the court
was dissolution in name only" as
serted Mr.. Untermeyer.
About ten witnesses had testified
when the hearing was resumed today
All Of them are or were employees of
the Standard Oil company or it's sub
salaries. In nearly every case they
have shown defiance to the in
structions Of Commissioner Jacobs
when told to answer questions, the
correct replies to which, the attorney
said, would go long way to prove
the dissolution was a farce.
A Pertinent Fact.
One of the facts brought out at the
hearing is that when the order for
dissolution came the only real change
was the resignation of three or four
of the old directors from each of the
subsidiaries and the filling of their
places with minor employees of the
company, recruited from the shops
the sales department or the general
office.
In one instance when the remaining
directors were in a quandry as to the
final election to the board real es-
tate man was invited to come up
stairs at 26 Broadway, and he came
down with the title of director Every
witness has asserted that the Stand
ard Oil Company has been dissolved
and that each part is an independent
company, but under Untermeyers
questioning not one has been able to
testify that the former subsidiaries
had increased the scope of their bust
ness or entered into competition with
other subsidiaries since the dissolu
ton.

astic and filled with courage and con-
fidence.
We recall with satisfaction that our
party is not responsible for the evils
that beset the people; it has for years
faithfully warned them of the wrath
to come. The Democracy has been
true to the interests of the common
people during all the years when they
have been deceived and cruelty burd-
en- by the legalized injustice of so
called protective" tariff, which only
protected and enriched the few by
holding up and robbing the many. And
now that the peoples eyes are open
ed, we cannot doubt but they will turn
for redress to that party which has
told the truth at every cost, which has
pointed the way to reform, and has al
ready proved its good faith by its
works in the National House of Rep
reSentatives.
Indcrse Platforms.
We cordially indorse the Democratic
platforms, national and state, and we
congratulate the country, as we'll as
our party, on the splendid men we
have chosen to lead the people to vic

litical bossism, predatory wealth and
insane personal ambition. With such
capable leaders as Wilson and Mar

splendid self-made man as Samuel

their plumes may wave in the coming
contest for fair play, equal rights and
good government. On behalf of these
great leaders and the cause they rep
resent we appeal with confidence to
the members of all parties for their
votes and influence in the coming
election; to the end that the high cost
of living may be reduced, that legal
favoritism may be prohibited, that

checked, and that righteousness and
