If the eligible voters of the Uni
ted States had taken advantage OF
their pre-eminent privilege to select
these men, results of elections Tor
the last forty-five years might have
been changed. This fact should be
Impressed upon everyone. We must
get up some scheme by which COM
petent and trustworthy men shall be
elected to office, then there will be
no need to change the government.
Il am not sure of the advantage OF
women's suffrage. While the number
of voters would be vastly Increased,
the responsibility would be increased
in proportionate measure.
"Out of twenty-six millions of lab

about one and one-half millions pre-

say that organized labor has no
right to dictate these matters to the
wage-earners who are outside their
organizations.
The social and political status of
the negro is another question that is
taking the attention Of the govern
ment. We settled the question once
about capital owning labor and decid-
ed once and for all time that it should
not be. Yet in ten or twelve states
of the United, the negro is not allow
ed to vote. The constitution tells us
that they are our equals, yet this con-
dftion is not allowed to exist. A
remedy must be found for that.
Youth of America does not take
an interest in the affairs of national
Importance as they should. How many
are able to enumerate the battles OF

thousand men were killed or wound

tell the fundamental principles OF
the republican party? 1t is true that
we are not preparing the rising gen,

Many of you, in fact nearly all OF
you took part in the organization OF
the republican party and hope and
pray that you may az live to see the
downfall of the dastards who are

address Of former Congressman w. P.

Col William Peters Hepburn, of
clarinda, was introduced by Presi-

ring defense Of the principles and
achievements Of the republican party.
Col. Hepburn's speech in part was as
follows:
eFifty.six years is a long time in a
mans life and political activities. 1t
has been that long since the Fremont
campaign. Fifty-six years OF eventful
and epoch.making time. ] am safe in
saying that there has never been a
like period SO full of wonderful
achievements. There has never been
like period into which SO many
events Of great Importance have been
crowded
Fifty-six years ago occurred an
epoch in American history The abo-
ltion Of slavery. which had been
growing, until finally it dominated
American civil and political life, was
the principal factor. The. enmity to
that act was so bitter that secession
was begun and out of that grew the
republican party.

Local Political
 Situation Quiet

The local political situation seems to be in a most Quiescent state, al- though the various candidates are said to be working steadily. It is a matter for congratulation that there has been little or no mudslinging nor the indulgence of vituperation and abuse. Most of the voters apparent | ly have made up their minds as to how they are going to vote, and speculation as to the result of the contest next Tuesday is idle, but 1t might be said, in passing, that all the candidates are sure of election.
 Election news from the other ju- dicial divisions is just as nebulous as 1t is here.
 Judging by reports that trickle in to the Capital the political storm center is in the Fourth division, where, it is said, Dan Sutherland, of Ruby and Henry Roden, of Iditarod, candidates for the Senate, will be elected Roden is an attorney and is the Iditarod partner of Judge Wick ersham. Both he and Sutherland were nominated on a non.partisan ticket.
 No news is available as to the po- litical conditions in the Second and Third divisions.
