BULL MOOSERS PUT FULL
STATE TICKET IN FIELD
Gov. Hadley's Attempt to Get Fusion
Ticket Frustrated

Ticket frustrated
Ignoring Gov. Hadley's plea to in
dorse certain Republican candidates
for state office, the Progressive State
Convention in session at st. Louis
last Wednesday nominated a full state
ticket as follows:
Governor-A. D. Nortoni, St. Louis.
Lieutenant-G overnor-James M.
Burrus, Kansas City.
Secretary of State-Fred W. Me
dermeyer, Columbia.
State Treasurer--John Ball, Joplin.
State AUDITOR. A. A. Reynolds,
Ava.
Attorney-Ge neral-Arthur Hyde,
Princeton.
Railroad and Warehouse Commits
sioner-John w. Mccoy, Kansas City.
Supreme Court Division Richard
Dalton, Hannibal.
Supreme Court Division 2-Ford
w. Thompson, St. Louis, and Frank

Kansas City Court of Appeals.
T. Burneym, Kansas City.
Springfield Court of Appeals-M.
f. Morrow, West Plains; John H.
Sturgeon, Joplin; j. B. McCammon,
Springfield.
After the nomination of James M.
Burrus for acknowledgement, Per-
manent Chairman Arthur N. Sager
halted the proceedings to allow L. A.
Ellis, state chairman, to tell of a con-
versation he just had had over the
long-distance telephone with Gov.
Hadley.
He said he had telephoned Hadley
at the request Of one of the delegates
to the convention. A storm of Kisses
followed, and Judge Nortoni jumped
to the platform and told the delegates
that as long as Hadley was governor
of the state the delegates would have
to be respectful to him.
''Gov. Hadley told me that the three
Republican candidates for Supreme
Judges were progressive in senti-
ment," said Ellis. He asserted
that he had talked with two Of them
and that if, in consonance with the
resolution passed this morning, this
convention saw fit to put them on the
ticket as nonpartisan candidates, that
in that event, if the Republican party
required them to line up for the
whole Republican ticket and declare
for the stand-pat Republican ticket
from top to bottom, they would with
draw from. the Republican ticket"
This statement, however, did not
satisfy the delegates, who declared
in order 10 show they were progress
sive at heart these Republican candi-
dates would first have to renounce
their candidacy as Republican candi-
dates and announce their allegiance
to The Progressive party.

Hadley to Roosevelt

Gov. Hadley's letter to Theodore
Roosevelt advising fusion between
Taftite and Teddyite Republicans in
the state campaign gives an exact
measure of the man.
The letter contains just one point:
that if both kinds of Republicans
unite on the nominees of one faction
the chance of electing them will be
just so much better.
Why this should have required g.
600 words or so we are at a loss to
understand. It looks like waste Of
paper and ink. The Republic, for
once, agrees with Gov. Hadley. Flu
sion would help. The more people
you can get to vote for a candidate
the better the chance of electing him.
And, further, if both of the great
parties would fuss, that would elimi-
nate all doubt and nomination would
be equivalent to election.
Why don't they? Because of lit
tie thing that does not appear to APP
peal to Gov. Hadley-difference in
political convictions. ~
Here is where the governor parts
company with the people who really
make political history. He is unable
to see anything in politics except i'm
mediate victory in the pursuit of Of
flee. What are political convictions
between friends when political plums
60 unpicked without cooperation?
The Progressive movement, it is
true, commands the support of a GER
tain following of voters who are
Roosevelt mad" and will 90 after
him any where, without thought or
criticism. But these enthusiasts are
not its real strength. What makes it
significant is the Endorsement of a
large number of thoughtful, fair
minded citizens who have revolted
against Republican corruption and
bossism. The are still Republicans.
They have not gone far enough to
see that tariff taxes laid on everybody
for the benefit of somebody will
breed a crop of bosses annually, no
matter how fast they are weeded out,
and that what we need for the trusts
is not more executive machinery,
but little more diligent enforcement
of existing law. But their sympathies
are right and their disgust with the
present Republican order is deep and
genuine.
To them comes Herbert Hadley,
with his debonair smile and his en-
gaging suggestion that if these re-
VOTED voters will help support the
candidates of the Taft faction they
may be able to hold the state for
stand-pat Republicanism!
A man with any instinct for the
moral elements in politics could not
make such suggestion; his own hon
esty and sincerity would prevent. A
politician who had observed how that
uncomfortable element, conscience,
works in practical" politics would
not make such suggestion; his own
good sense would prevent. Hadley
was unrestrained in either of these
respects, and so he made it.-Repub-
lie. --
