voted for at the general election, and
the voters who have signed such petition
are Absolutely free to exercise thei.
choice and vote for such candidates as
they may desire at the general election
regardless of the signing oe petitions.
Neither the letter or spirit Of the law
will sustain any other construction. In
many instances voter may be willing
to sign petition to accommodate
some one who desires to be pleaced on
nomination at the general election, but
is not willing to bind himself to vote
for him at the election, and it is not
reasonable to hold that signer to pc
tition, who upon after consideration
may desire to vote some other ticket
or for some other candidate shall be
deprived of voting as he pleases, if it
were otherwise it would afford oppor-
tunities to schcming politicians to TAX e
advantage of voters by securing their
their signatures to petitions as per
sonal favor and thus deprive them of
the privilege of voting for the candi.

About the District
Judgeship
Mr., Redmond Ineligible for
Election

Mr.. Redmond has been member of
the Bar less than 3 years and actively
engaged in practice less than 2 years.
He is not yet 80 years of age, altbo
the Sterling Enterprise of which he il
part owner asserts that he is in his 35
year. On the Registration Cards of
the University of Colorado, at Boulder
Mr.. Redmond wrote as follows: Mr..
John Vincent Redmond born January
29th, 1888. This would make Mr.. Red
mond 30 years old next January, but
he now states that he is 35, both state
ments cannot be true.
Mr.. Redmond is an inexperienccd
attorney, for he has never been con-
nected with Law Suit of any consid-
cradle Importance and we give here.
with his total work in courts of record
since his admission to thu Bar. In the
County Court of Logan County, case
filed and dismissed; 4 small matters
unoposed;2 little cases pending;l lun-
acy hearingl7 confessions of Judgement

quiring no skill whatever and which but
one sideis ever heard; case tried and
lost.
In the District Court of Logan
County, appearance in cases which
were filed and dismissed; a cases now
pending.
He is not only young and inexperienc-
ed but totally unable to handle lhe job
which he is asking of the voters of the
of the District,
Six years ago Judge Burke's defeat
ed apponent struck his tent and left
the District almost as soon as the
Campaign, was oyer and the votes
counted. We predict that Mr.. Red
mond will do the same. If Mr.. Red
mond continues to villify the best Dis
trict Judge that this District has ever
had and continues to be as careless
with the truth as he has been in the
past we shall have more to say regard
ing him.
We trust that this young and mex
perienced man will see the error of his
ways and desist before his few friends
become disgusted with him.

About the Moral Obligation

The News Sept Goth, had a very
nicely worded article in regard to the
Moral Obligation of supporting the
entire Fusion, Democratic-P Progressive
Ticket.
We tail to see the Moral or any
other obligation for any one to support
fer office men either opposed to him
politically or who he believes unfit or
not qualified to fill the respective
office,
Because some Republicans believe
in the principles of Col. Roosevelt and
expect to vote for him, we see no
reason moral or other wise why they
should support Democratic County
Ticket.
Because some of the Demoratic Lead
ers in Sedgwick County, thinking to
help bolster up their County ticket
proposed fusion with the Progressives
is no reason why Leaders of the Pro-
gressive party who flatly told the
Democrats that they were not Demo-
Gratis and would have nothing to do with
such combine should now be under a
moral obligation to votefor the Demo-
cratic County Ticket.
Mr.. Finch says: ''In this year of
1912 the elements composing the Fus-
ion Ticket in Sedgwick County stand
for an idea and protest. Granted
but what is that Idea and protest
in the minds of the Democratic Party
simply this. The ''idea' is to corrall
as many Republican votes for the De-
mocratic Ticket as possible. The pro
test is against the Republicans carry
ing the County Ticket as it has done in
the past. He says further "In order to
succeed and in order to strengthen the
hands and encourage the work of the
State and National leaders tits necess-
airy to go down the whole line.
want some one to tell me how voting
for avowed Democrats on the County
Ticket is going to strengthen the hands
and encourage the work of Mr.. Roose-
welt.
If the Progressives in Chicago be-
lieved in any such doctrine why did
they nominate Mr.. Roosevelt ard then
endorse the balance of the Democratic
Nationl Ticket? Why didn't the Pro-
gressives of Colorado nominate Mr..
Costigan for Governor and then endorse
the balance of the Democratic State
Ticket

ToCet Votes
Signers of Petitions
Can Vote for Who They Please

The impression seems to prevail in
the minds of some persons that a voter
who signs petion fol the nomination of
candidates to be voted for at the gen
eral election is thereby prevented from
voting any other ticket, or from vo:-
ing for candidates other than those
named in this petition signed by him.
Such impression has no foundation
either under the old election laws or
the new laws adopted in l9l0known as
the Primary election ..law. Nd. ~
wrong.
The Primary Election law adopted
at the special ssion of the 18th General
Assembly and approved October II, 1910
specifically provides for the respective
political parties whose candidates for
gove n,r received ten per cent of the
total votes cast at the last proceeding
general election in this state doing
away with nominations by party con-
ventions and place the nominating
power directly in the hands of the
voters of each party. Assemblies of del
egates are provided at which all can.
didates receiving ten per cent or more
of the votes of the assembly are desi-
gnated as candidates to be placed on
the official primary ballot to be voted
for at the primary election, but the law
also provides that candidate may
have his name placed on the primary
election ballot of his political party,
without being designated or certified
by the assembly of his party, he can
do so by petition to be signed by duly
qualified electors resident within the
political subdivision for which the
officer is to be elected; and in cas- of
such petition for nomination the elect
ors signing such petition are required
to make oath by affidavit attached
thereto that the candidate named in
the petition is placed on nomination
in behalf of the political party named
in the petition and is affiliated with
the principles of such party, and that
the signers intend to vote for such
candidate at the ensuing primary cleo
tion. 1t will be observed that the for
going requirements apply only to
petition for placing of caniidates on
the direct Primary election ballot to be
voted for at the Primary election. No
such declarations are required in a
petition for the nomination of an inde-
pendent ticket to be voted on at the
general alection. In the former case
the signers must make affidavit that
they intend to vote foi the nomination of
the persons named in the petition at the
primary election, while in the latter
case he signers are only required to
swear that they have correctly stated
their pieces of residence and have rot
voted at any Primary Election to
nominate candidates for the offices
for which the petition presents candi-
dates.
The clear intention of the law is app
aren't that when voter has once de-
clared his choice of a candidate by vot-
ing at the primary election, ne should |
not be permitted to sign petition to
place another candidate for the same
office on any other ticket, but where
the voter has not voted at the
primary election he has right to sign

And youO you who the widest yearn
For the old-time step and the glad return

To simpler things: Where the violets grew.

The touches of his hands have stayed
As reverently as the lips have prayed:
When the little brown thrush that harshly chirped
Was dear to him as the mocking bird:
And he pitied as much as a man in pain
