palms and dropping flags formed a
great arch that served to separate
the rear from the forward portion
of the hall. and thus the space was
converted into reception room and

The receiving line was formed Just

most pleasing picture
The musicians were stationed to
the left in space held apart for
them by an artistic fence Of flag
draped palms,
After greeting those receiving the

Ideas Most Powerful.

1t was argued by Senator Borah that
If rich man has no qualification for Of
flee other than his money, it will cost him
money to run. But IL the candidate rep
resents some question of great mo-
ment," the senator said, eff he deals
in ideas and issues, instead of patronage
and checks, he will win over all the
money you can put into the fight. One
of the very things for which 1 hold Sena-
tor Stephenson responsible in tbs cam
paign is that he entered the race with his
bank account for his platform.
Senator Borah denied that primaries
have disorganized parties. He condemned
the old caucus system in politics and
pronounced ii the most vicious, treach-
erous. subtle, venal influence ever op-
Grated to the detriment of the people.
Parties come and go. live and die
said Senator Borah. They come with
message and they go when they cease to
have a message. They live so long as
they offer to the voters a concrete and
constructive plan with which to deal with
human interests and human welfare; they
die when abandoning all principle and all
policies. they fall into a contest over po-
sition and power and engase alone in the
personal rows of ambitious leaders"

Defends Primary.

Senator Borah was speaking in defense
of the primary system, which has been
assailed by many senators in their dis
cussion of the investigation of the case of
Senator Stephenson of Wisconsin. De-
Tending the primary system, he said no
one ever contended it would make all
candidates decent and all men honest.
You had JUST as well declaim against
the whole moral law of Sinai and the
statutes which define and punish crime
because. after three thousand years, not
withStanding the statutes, men still CON-
NIT crimes he said.
corruption cannot live under the
primary system" said Senator Borah, IF
men have the courage, as they will have.
to punish those who stand exposed. A
primary system accompanied with a COR
rupt practice act will make it impossible
to control our elections by the use of
money. Senator Stephenson could have
put million into a caucus and brought
his purchased parchment of election here,
and the chances would have been one in
ten thousand that it would ever have
been known. But put in a hundred
thousand dollars and even without a cor
rupt practice act and with an attempt to
destroy original memoranda, the exposure
is nevertheless complete, and the only
thing now left to be determined is the
judgment of the Senate
