The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1912-03-23

We recommend that the dele
gates to the state convention
from the counties composing the
several congressional districts
resolve themselves into district
conventions and select 2 dele
gates to represent each district
and that the remaining 8 dele
gates at large be selected in such
manner as the convention in its
order of business shall provide;
and that the alternates be select
ed in the same manner as the
delegates hereinbefore provided.
The present County Central
Committees of the democratic
party are hereby directed to
carry the provisions of this call
into effect. By order of the
state central committee.
Geo. E. Ryan, c. G. Heifner,
Secretary Chairman.
While there is very little going
on in congress just now that can
be considered worthy of a big
news feature, the democrats are
going right along and following
out their program as mapped out
by the first caucus. Every time
they submit a bill reducing the
tariff, they put one over on the
republicans because whether the
republican senate kills the bill or
the republican president vetos it,
it all amounts to the same thing
so far as the people are concern
ed, and the people will recognize
the fact at the polls next Novem-
Der.
The republicans are worse split

While President Fat and ex-
President Teeth are sputtering
over the large adjectives which
they are hurting at each other,
one or the other is liable to be
called by his right name.
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1912-03-23

So far as the democratic can
didates for president are concern
ed, they are getting along to-
gether like the real men they
are-not placing their own de-
sires above the public good, but
all working to secure a genu-
inc democracy for this nation.
Wilson, Clark, Harmon, Under
wood-all have records of demo-
cratic achievement which look
good to the people because the
people benefited thereby. The
corporate interests of Wall street
have not opened their heads in
favor of any one of these four
men, because all of the four are
against private monopoly Of the
public's government.
Wall street is somewhat divid-
ed between Taft and Roosevelt,
with Taft the favorite. They
can't really go back on Taft, for
he has been with them so long
that he knows all their secrets;
and in turn Taft can't go back
on them because they still have
him by the throat. And while
Taft and Roosevelt are fighting
as to who shall be the Wall street
mouthpiece, the people are look
ing up the records of the demo-
cratic candidates and choosing
whom they will support for the
nomination.
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1912-03-23

"The call of the people," pro-
claim the eight progressive gov
ernors and other delegates at
Chicago, must be needed by Mr..
Roosevelt. I'VE believe the peo-
pie have decided to make him
their choice" )" Spontaneous ab-
solutely is this peoples call. Yet
the report of the conference in
congruously says that "on roll
call the delegates from the differ
ent states told of work already
done toward promoting the form
er presidents candidacy. Several
reported complete organiza-
tions." There is spontaneity for
you.
The people call him! What
people? All the people? Leave
out the democrats, the socialists,
the prohibitionists and the odds
and ends who cast altogether
over 1000, votes in 1908.
They are not calling for Mr..
Roosevelt, and they must be con-
ceded by every competent statis-
tician to be today at least half of
the voters. Leave out, also, that
considerable faction of the re-
publican party that desires the
denomination of President Taft.
Eliminate all of Mr.. LaFollette's
admirers. The remainder, that is
to say, what is left after all the
Taft men, all the LaFollette men,
all the socialists and prohibition
lists and, by no means least in
numbers, all the democrats of
the United States. are removed
from consideration, the remain
der constitutes "the people, "and
"the people" call him.
If Mr.. Roosevelt recognizes in
such a summons to service "the
call of the people," he will de-
monstrate that he has the finest
ear of any politician since Noah.
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1912-03-23

Frank B. Lord, the noted poll
tical writer, says: Throughout
his entire career in high office,
Theodore Roosevelt with one
hand played to a certain coterie
of interests in Wall Street. while
with the other he beckoned to
the mob, and he won the plaud-
it's of both. He served the
moneyed interests while he
entertained the multitude. This
is why Wall Street wants him
renominated." In fact, Wall
street would just as soon see
Roosevelt elected as Taft.

The confirmation Of the sale of the

prominent citizens Of the county, who,
after a thorough investigation and dis.

The new arrangement includes some
