Great Convention
Two Day Session Disposing of
Program Covering E.xten-
sive Range of Topics

Yesterday and today the Sunday
school workers OF Crowley county have
been in evidence at the Methodist
church in this city in great numbers,
being in attendance at the first con.
ventiOn for the new county. The
auditorium Of the church was crowded
and the annex pressed into service to
accommodate the crowd and the en-.
thusiasm OF the delegates and visitors
was unbounded.
While we go to press before the con-
ventiOn has concluded its labors and
therefore are unable to give detailed
report OF the proceedings, 1t goes
without saying that much good will
come OF the sessions and that the

Only eight more days remain to de.
termine the ownership OF the splendid
prizes to be given away In the New
Era popularity voting contest. Satur.
day, May 1, is the last day that the
contestants have to hustle for votes.
At IL O'Clock noon. Monday. April
%, the votes OF the different candi-
dates will be counted for the last
time until the final count by the
special judges, which takes place i'm
mediately after the contest closes.
This is done so that no one will have
any idea how much reserve the DIFF.
ferent candidates have and also be-
cause the contest department must
devote all its time to waiting on the
contestants and others desiring to
secure votes.
The uncertainty OF winning in the
contest has stimulated every candi-
date to increase her vote by every
possible ballot. for each realizes that
her rivals are striving hard to win the
coveted prizes.
or course there will be surprises
aud disappOintments when the flnal
results are announced. Some contest
ants may lose the prizes by just few
votes, while others may win by very
small margin. Each candidate should
work during the remaining few days
OF the contest. SO that II she is de.

Knox Stumps Progressives.
, York Evening Post.

rom Inc new 1Crk Evening
Secretary KnoX's hand has not lost its
cunning in the decade or SO that has
passed since he gave up practice at the
bar for career i'm the high places of
public life. There was a smack of the
LAWYERS art in the method of his sharp
challenge, at Seattle yesterday. of the
accusation that ''the republican party
and privilege-controled. tumble of i'll
congruous elements. This view of the
old party is an established part of the
creed of the progreSSives, and yet fer
those among them who We're good re-
publicans up to a few months ago it
can be made a little embarrassing. And
this is what Secretary Knox has done.
He asks, as a lawyer might in cross-eN-
amining witness. just when this con-
dition of things supervened. 1t could
not have been under Lincoln. Grant,
Harrison or Mckinley; it certainly could
not have been under Roosevelt; it could
not even have been under Taft up to
the time of the Saratoga convention OF
1910, by which the Taft administration
was praised to the skies. 'Then, just
when'' asks Mr.. Knox, was the moment
of time between September %. 1910. and
August g. 1912, that the party of I'M
paralleled accomplishments and unheard-
of altruism and humanity became huseI
with no real soul. and what produced the
change?' To explain how so tremendous
q change was brought about in short
time would be pretty hard job for
most ex-republican progressives to tackle.

Weldon B. Hepburn.

Senator Hepburn, whom death has
called with bat little warning, was a
lnan OF unusual characteristics, con-
sp.cuous figure in the proceedings of the
Senate. where he had sat for nine years
an earnest participant in all its pro-
ceedinss. fearless exponent of steadfast
views. exceptionally well Informed on all
public questions and intense in his
craftsmanship. He at times aroused the
ahtasonism of party opponents. for he
cast expediency 10 one side when he
pursued his own proposition and was not
uniformly under the discipline of even
his own party's leaders. He possessed
a singularly fluent manner of expression
and his speeches Were models of clear
ness and emphasis. He was not a NOV
ing orator. but he possessed quality
that surpassed even eloquence, that of un-
mistakable sincerity that none could
listen TO him without feeling the force
of a strong mans intense conviction. Such
man necessarily brushes elbows with
those with whom he comes in contact. and
consequently Senator Heyburn's service
in the upper House of Congress was
marked by numerous verbal encounters
that gave him. perhaps unjustly, the repu-
tation of seeking trouble. He was. on the
contrary. merely persistent in the ad-
vocacy of those principles which he cher
tshed and which were an inseparable part
OF his being. The sturdy uprightness of
his character won for him an admiratio
that overcame whatever there may have
been OF annoyance at his answering
craftsmanship. He will be missed in the
senate in the dayS to come when p.r-
haps, great changes are in progress

Mr.. Wilson and the Trusts

\ criticism of Mr.. Wilson runs like This.
New Jersey is the habitat of trusts and
yet in his two years as governor of the
state he has done nothing to put an end
To single one OF them.
Strictly speaking. has Mr. Wilson been
the Governor of New Jersey for one day
Has he not been rather presidential
candidate filling that office? Has not the
Eovernorship been something on the side :?
Has he not had the White House con-
stantly in mind. and has he not shaped
his whole course at Trenton accordingly?
Without personal disrespect to Mr.. Will
son, these questions may be answered
in the affirmative. 1t is, indeed, the safest
Of assertions that the governorship alone
would never have induced him to resign
his Office as president Of Princeton Uni
versity. He was placed to his liking there,
and had manifested no desire for political
life as general proposition. He had
had no experience in affairs except as an
educator, and as an educator he would
probably have continued II the tempter

OF course that lure was bound to sue

mansion this side of the skies looks SO
beautiful to the eye of the aspiring Amer
lean. One glance, with the accompany
ing promise, caught Mr.. Wilson. The
promise was that he would have to tarry

Of his classes. of the academic shades, and
gave himself up to political ambition.
He made Trenton according to scheouie'
and began at once putting things in shape
for the second and important leg OF his
journey.
Basting the bosses was easy ana popu-
lar. The crowd always enjoys a per-
Torrance of that kind; and Mr.. wilson
gave a good show. He trimmed the
Hon. Jim Smith to the queens taste, ana
brought the whole country to attention
Mr.. Cleveland, who had been good at
the same game had never done anything
in that line in more effective fashion.
But the trusts were a different and far
more difficult proposition: and shrewdiy
enough. Mr. Wilson stayed his hand. He
decided to delay action as to them until
time when he could hope to act with
out danger to his larger program. and
when, if his program succeeded, he would
be in position to lay about him with
greater power and vigor.
VIII Mr.. Wilson as President make up
in this matter for the shortcomings of
Mr.. Wilson as governor? We must wait
for the answer He will be expected to
do so. and the pressure, with MIR. Bryan

I'm a General Way"

Before the CIapp committee yesterday
Thomas w. Lawson testified to things he
knew "'in a general way" The commit
tee wanted something more definite What
did Mr.. Lawson know in a particular
way? From whom had he the informa
ton about this. that and toiher? But
the witness could not be beguiled into by
paths. He stuck to the general way.
Mr.. Lawson is not. a solitary traveller.
Tie is not trudging alone lin the general
way. The route is crowded. \ host is
afoot. So many persons know things lin
general way. and in no other way.
They repeat-often with entire good faith
things that circulate without the names
Of their authors. or the sources of their
being. The widest yarns in this way
often go far. and affect results.
In the matter OF presidential campaign
expenses in particular this country for
the past sixteen years has been fed upon
the most absurd eXaggerations. There are
men who believe that Mr. Hanna in the
first Mckinley campaign handled any
where from fifteen TO twenty-five million
collars Why do they believe it" Because
they have heard it ''in a general way.
They know that Mr.. Hanna was a rich
man. in the confidence of the business
world and that the business world was
greatly opposed TO the Bryan program of
free silver coinage. That is all they
know. The rest is belief and it has come
10 them in general way
Take the subject of the general condi-
ton of the country There re men who
assert that few plutocrats own and run
the country. Some of these men hold
high office. Upon what is their assertion
founded? Upon information acquired in
a general way All they really know Is
that a few men of unusual business abil-
ity have had great success. and are IL
terested in many large enterprises But
between that and owning and running
the country is a gulf wide, deep and i'm
passable
Let shackle trusts that disobey the
law and have ruinous monopoly for their
object. Let us revise the tariff, in the
spirit of the Mckinley program laid down

Job Hedges as Candidate.

Before his nomination the republican
opponents of Job Hedges dwelt upon his
reputation for wit and humor. They were
sure it would handicap him as the candl-
date. The people would not take him
seriously If he attempted serious
campaign he would fail for want of at
tention. If he played the role of jester
he would fail because of too much at
tention.
Since his nomination Mr.. Hedges OPP
ponents - democrats and progressives-
have dweIt upon the same thing. They
insist that the republican candidate for
governor is no more than a clever after
dinner speaker-an entertaining chatter
an artistic banterer. They declare it alb
surd 10 ask the voters of a great state
at a time of profound unrest to call such
a man TO the head of their affairs.
Mr.. Hedges triunlphed over his repub-
lean opponents. and in doing So defeated
a fine field. Among his rivals was one of
the most attractive Of the young poll
ticians of the state. Young JIM Wads-
worth is New Yorker of the best con-
nections and of the best ability. destined,
his friends have thought and still think,
for a national career. His grandfather
was a distinguished soldier in the civil
war. and died in battle. His father served
for many years in Congress. and was a
useful member. Defeated for first place
at Saratoga, Young Jim." like loyal
party man. accepted second, and is doing
his best for his chief.
VIII Mr. Hedges triumph over the
democrats and the progressives next
month? He is making a serious cam
paign, and securing most respectful
hearing. Without drawing a long face
at all, or foregoing an occasional oppor
tunity to say a witty thing, he is dis
cussing the affairs of the state with a
thorough knowledge of them, and pro-
gram which gives everybody something
to think about. And he promises that if
elected he will wear his own hat and be
his own master.
1t is something to remember in Mr..
Hedges behalf that some years ago he
was prominently identified with a reform
administration in New York city, and had
opportunity to acquaint himself with all
the affairs of the big town. They needed
Improvement then, and need it quite as
badly now. Tammany was the cause OF
all the trouble then. and is still the cne-
my of good government and with the
right sort OF man in the governors chair
at Albany much might be done to put an
end to many of the abuses which have
their root in and draw their nourish-
ment from that much-detested political
organization.
Mr.. SulZer, the democratic opponent of
Mr.. Hedges. is personally popular, but
the outside support which has been sum-
moned to his assistance shows that he
and his friends realize that there is a
fight in progress.
