FOR ASSOCIATE JUSTICE.

Humbert Riddle, candidate for
Justice of the Supreme Court comes
before the Democratic voters at the
primaries with peculiarly fitting
qualifications for the office to which
he aspires. Well educated and
thoroughly trained in the legal pro-
fessson, his ability commended itself
to Judge Frank Doster, ex'Chief JUS
tice Of the Supreme Court, who ap-
pointed him as his Private Secretary.
Mr.. Riddle held this important posi-
ton for six years, thus gaining valu-
able experience for the position Of 81
preme Court Justice by an actual
working knowledge unobtainable in
any other way, and for several years
after the close Of the Judges term
Mr.. Riddle was associated with him
in the Jaw practice. Like his illus
trlous preceptor, ar. Riddle has al
ways been found on the right side Of
important civic and political Ques-
tons.
cHumbeft Riddle is the son Of. Tay-
qor Riddle Of Marion and both father
and son have. through long years Of
bard work for the upbullding Of De-
mocracy in Kansas, earned the right
to a representation on the state tick
ct. They have worked untiringly in
the harness when the chances for vic.
tory were slim, and now when the
outlook for Democratic success is
bright. who is better entitled to re-
ward for faithful service? Q q o
Concerning the candidacy of Hum
bert Riddle. Judge Frank Doster said
IN an interview:
81 have known Humbert Riddle
from boyho@.o He began his law
studies under my supervision, and.fol
many years after his admission to
the bar he was associated with me.
had. therefore, ample opportunity
to note his qualifications o and, ca.
pacty as a lawyer. ] have no hest
fancy in recommending him to the
Democratic voters, as in every wey
he is a fit nominee for the high and
responsible office Of Associate JUS
tice Of the Supreme Court He is in
the prime of hfe5 vigorous in mind
and body, and has made himself one
of the leading lawyers in HIS part Of
the state" 90 90 o q

and that the destruction Of these
privileges is necessary to bring about
just economic conditions. Then he
was asked II he did not consider 1t
his duty as a Democrat to join in
the fight against these predatory IN
terests.
But he could not see what that had
to do with Democracy. So he was
asked to explain why he was a Dem
ocrat." He answered: q drank in
my democracy with my mothers
milk"
Fortunately public sentiment is no
longer eSntent with control Of either
party by such specimens. II they
can not be forced out of both par.
ues then a new alignment will be
necessary. For such a new align.
ment the progressive element Of the
Republican party Is ready. In the
Democratic party the attempts made
BY the bread a0d butter brigade IN
behalf of the interests were f7us
trated for a time at least, after 8
long, hard-fOught battle. But pro
gressives must be content with such
a victory. Mercenaries must b
given to understand that their room
is preferable to their company

chairman when Bryan's speech
against Parker must still have been
fresh in the memory Of all who
heard it. But Bryan had spoken In
a language the bread and butter bri-
gade cannot understand and do not
want to learn. He had said much
about opposition to privileged inter-
ests but he said nothing about how
to get financial support from these
interests without catering to their
wishes.
? A progressive acquaintance to
whom the reactionary delegate spoke
as quoted tried to make clear to him
that Bryan's object was to free party
and country from the domination of
predatory interests. "Well, who are
these interests-these predatory in
terests?' asked the delegate. Al
though the asking Of such question
betrayed inexcusable ignorance in
one claiming to be Democrat, he
nevertheless was patiently informed
about these concerns. HIS informant
did not confine himself to telling him
about the tariff protected trusts only,
but called his attention to the more
oppressive privileged interests as
well. He pointed out to him how
railroads and similar corporations
have been wrongfully given control
Of public highways and through this
privilege are able to extort enor-
nous tribute over and above the val
ue Of services rendered and are able
besides to exercise power which may
build up or destroy any business de-
pendent on receiving fair treatment
from them. He was told that It was
through this power that such con.
Germs as the Standard OH Company
and the beef trust secured their mo
nopoly. He was told how, by mono.
policing without usIng the mineral
deposits Of the country such con-
Germs Of the steel trust, the coal
trust, lead trust, copper tnust, and
similar combinations have the power
to shut out competition and rob con.
sumers. He was shown how mono.
poly Of natural resources is causing
overcr0wding IN the cities and rural
districts Is preventing production Of
food products from keeping pace
with increase Of population. His at.
tention was called to other special
privileges like the patents held by
the United Shoe Machinery Co,
which are enabling that concern to
absolutely control the shoe manufac.
turing industry. He was told that
while such conditions are allowed to
exist there must be high cost Of lN.
ing together with insufficient wages

POLITICAL o MERcENARIEs MUST
o % GO.

The national conventions have
shown that both parties contain too
many reactionarieS in places where
they can do the most harm. The Re
publican convention was completely
dominated by them. They controlled
the organization, stole seats of honest
ly elected progressives, framed the
platform and nominated candidates
of their own kind.
In the Democratic convention they
succeeded in electing the temporary
chairman, in delaying nominations
and in otherwise showing that the
party is far from being free from
their control, The mischief they did
at the Baltimore gathering could not
have been done but for the aid Of tn
bread and butter politicians, the most
contemplate class to be found any
where.
To this class the progressive defec.
tion in the Republican ranks had pos
itively no other meaning than that
the way was now. open to them to
office and salaries. so they gathered
together with the thought that the
one thing to be desired above all
else was harmony. With the speils
Of office so easily within reach the
idea Of allowing so unimportant q
thing as principle to stand in the
way was too ridiculous for serious
consideration.
So when William J. Bryan insist.
ed on the party placing itself in a
position where It would deserve to
win, regardless Of the effect on har.
mOny and the chances q winning, tn,
bread and butter brigade were filled
with Indignation. They denounced
him as disturber who talked about
principles instead Of bearing in mind
that ito win" was the only thing
worth talking aAout They we're hor-
rifiad at his action in raising row
when a united Harmonious rush to
the flesh pots vas to them the bwi-
ness before the house, They were
greedy for office and here vas a
man insisting that it was more i'm
portant to take a stand against eco
nonie evils than to make their way
to office easy. spE
So whenever Bryan arose to speak
along lines which an assemblage Of
true Democrats woah not think Of
contradicting he was greeted with
roars of rage and bowls Of disgust
from these Indignent hungry office
seekers
The feeling Of these mercenaries
was well illustrated in conversation
with one q them, an OHIO delegate,
who voted for Harmon as long as
there seemed to be some hope for
that servant Of plutocracy. What
does he Eantr' asked this delegate
concerning Bryan. .F:He has had
