has passed out.
After notifying all others except
one aspriant for the Senate that
their political graves are diready
dug for them II they should
ask for his nomination this commit
tee is willing to obey the voice OF
the boss, and agrees that he shall
have the senatorship by putting up
the sum of $4,000. The section
does not provide how this $500
shall be distributed. provided no
primary shall be held. 1t might be
divided among the members Of the
legislature or it might go to the
committee. Who knows?
But, If the senatorship is to be
thus sold out, why not put it up and
sell 1t to the highest bidder?
One thing is evident: 1t is not
the intention OF those in authority
at this time to hogd any primary al
all If such thing is done under
the arrangements it can amount
to nothing more than
farce, as the rules" provide that
any person may vote in said pri-
mary If said person make affidavit
in writing that at the election held
on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday of November, 1912, he voted
for the Democratic candidates for
the legislature.
The committee is certainly very
lenient in passing upon a voters
qualifications for voting. 1t is the
first time l have ever known voter
who voted for one or two candidates
on long ticket to be counted reg
ular party man.
repeat again that the honest
yeomanry of the Democratic party
of this state can clearly see that this
move OF the Democratic committee
is a farce and is intended to delude
honest men.
4 still believe that the party
should select for its candidates for
the Legislature in every county and
district in the state men who will
stand for the people instead OF the
bosses, men who are in favor OF
representative in the United States
Senate who will represent the masses
of the people instead of the Lori
mers. the stephensons and Big Busl-
ness.
There will be absolutely no
chance for member OF the million
aIre club to be returned to the SEN
ate from this state this year.
