PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES

The latest political fad is the
presidential preferential primary.
1t is the invention, pure and
simple, of the demagogue. 1t
was first suggested, if we mis-
take not, by Mr.. Roosevelt, and
the first trial made of it was IN
his home town of New York
where he was ingloriously de-
feated by a vote of s to 1. Then
we heard the first wall OF the
campaign and witnessed the un-
seemly denunciation of his form
er friends by the lusty Colonel.
Wherever it has been tried 1t
has proven unsatisfactory and
in no state have all Of the can
didates received just what was
due them. In Massachusetts,
last week MI. Taft received a
majority of all the votes cast but
the eight delegates from the
state at large were Roosevelt
supporters. On the democratic
/. ticket, Champ Clark led by a
handsome majority, but the del
egates were selected as Foss men.
Thus is Will be seen that there is
such an element of uncertainty
about the workings of the pri-
mary that it can not be relied
on to bring about a fair result.
In Mississippi on Tuesday the
names of only two candidates,
Underwood and Wilson. were
placed on the ticket. A large
number were deprived of voting
for the man IF their choice be-
cause they did not have an
opportunity to do so. Our prefer
ence is Governor Harmon. OF
sOhio. We believe he is the only
man the democrats can elect, but
we were forced to choose between
Underwood and Wilson, or not
vote at all. We voted for Mr..
Underwood, but we do not be-
slieve that he has the ghost Of a
chance of being nominated and
would be easily defeated If he
were nominated. With the iniat-
i've, referendum and recall. and
the preferential presidential pri-
mary on the political boards it is
4 difficult matter for an old line
democrat to tell just where he

Scores of Leaders of the Three Districts is Very Close - Four Prizes to the Contestants of Dis trict Whose Leader Wins the Automobile.
Good morning!

Good morning!
 This is to simply greet you with the notice that today is Monday and a big one on the calendar. That 1t K the beginning of the last two weeks of The Republicans Automobile. Gold and Trip Contest. Today you should turn in subscriptions. Today you should turn in more subscriptions, as it is the day of all days. When to- morrow and the next day come they will be the same. only much more so, as you will then be nearer the close of the contest. Every moment counts for some thing new. If the enthusiasm of the contest manager can be trans mittcd to each of the contestants as this paper witnesses the closing days of it's big contest, there is certain to be a wave of genuine joy and ambi- tion which will deluge the consest dis tricts. Everybody who isn't in the race to win isr't in it at all. There is not q contestant entered who hasn't hope of finishing well up among the leaders
 Just a word to all uf the con,est- ants. Whoever iS the grand leader when the final votes are counted will be awarded the $1500 Mitchell Auto mobile In the vote standings yester- day the leaders of the three contest districts were within 10000 votes of each other. One new subscription to The Republican for three Years-l2,- 900 vOtes-to the credit of the lowest district leader would have placed him in the grand leaders position and would have won for him the automo- bile had the contest closed yesterday With the leader of the three contest districts SO close and other cOntenders advancing it is apybodys race for the grand prize It is just as probable that the automobile win be won by contestant in one district as in an other. This being the case. suppose that the automobile is won by a con- testant in your district. If you ,lO not win it. you will win $200 in gold by being the second highest in the vote list in your district Should you come in third in your district you will win $100 in gold. The contestant se- curing the fourth highest number of votes in the district whose leader wins the grand prize will secure trip to the coast: but do not be con tent with trip to the coast ana fig ure on coming out fourth in your dis trict. for if the Grand Prize is won by d contestant in one of the other dis tricts you will have to be third in your district to win q trip to the coast, second position to win S100 in

Let's Hire Bryan.

Ii is respectfully suggested that the republican national committee put the Hon. William Jennings Bryan on it's payroll. Will all due difference to the republican leaders themselves it must be said that Mir Bryan is doing more for the cause of republicanism and for the triumph of the republican partv in the coming election than any two men in the republican party it. self And if you want to see some thing really funny. just watch the antics of the Peerless One for the next few months.
 Mir. Bryan has one of the worst cases of the expanding ego of any man before the public. There is pos itivelv no limit to his good opinion of himself He seems to have a pos tive reverence for the achievements and ideas of MT Bryan. And m spite of the fact that he has gone down to overwhelming defeat on three historic occasions, he has come up smiling each time. and he now in- sists that the democratic party shall adopt the very same policies that sent him to the political hospital on the occasions mentioned.
 That's the reason the republican committee ought to put MT. Bryan on the payroll and keep him at work

 matter the colonel replied that there was nothing to add to the published decision. which he thought might prove a good thing in the end for 1t practically told the reservoir paru- sans that now is their opportunity to demonstrate to the government that the site is feasible The colonel said that from personal inspection he knows it is not feasible and that not only the railroad but the government engineers have turned it down. He said that nobody but a fool would construct a dam there and that if a reservoir were built it would fill with silt in seventeen years. He said 1t woul1 cost at least 5000, ,000 to build the dam and that it was hardly likely that much capital would be found in one place. unless there was some brains with if.
 Tn discussing the irrigation of the Casa Grapde valley. however. the colonel says it is perfectly practicable on the lines formerly attempted, ramcly. a dam at the buttes with the flood waters impounded in desert reservoirs. The only trouble with the former project was that the system was not developed far enough. bit of information that will in terest a great many in Arizona who know him. was learned concerning Colorel Kosterltzky. who was for many years in charge of the Mexican rurale force in Sonora.

He's in the Ring.


 Theodore Roosevelt is an open. act i've, and avowed candidate for the of flee of president of the United States. There is no news in this announ1o- ment except that contained in the ad- jectives open" and "avowed." He has been candidate. an active candidate. even, ever since he reached Khartum on his return trip from Africa It is his ambition to be the Warwick of American history-a setter up and a butler down of presidents Also. it is his ambition to do what no ether American has ever done-to serve three terms as president
 In many ways it is fortunate thing for the republican party and for the country that Mr Roosevelt has announced himself. He now has tO come out in the open and fight as other men have to fight His cam paign of innuendo and his surreptiti- JUS iNNSlChS pi MI. lNll must NtstSt- Whatever he says and does will be said and done openly with the at tainment of the presidency as the object. The Taft forces will no longer have to fight hidden enemy.
 The country will also now have a chance to know just what Mir Roose- welt stands for. His egotistic and socialistic utterances henceforth will not be the utterances of Roosevelt the publicist. but of Roosevelt the candidate
 The Republican welcomes the can didacy of Theodore Roosevelt be- cause this newspaper is firmly con- vinced he cannot be nominated against MT Taft. It does not believe the sober sense of the American peo pie is ready for the endorsement of such sentiments as MT. Roosevelt. in his overweeninc vanity has lately enunciatcd. The candidacy of the returned lion hunter is welcomed from the fact that it will crystaliZe the Taft sentiment as nothing else could have done. This fight may as well be fought out now. We may as well know once and for all whether the republican party proposes to stand for the principles of sound economy. sound patriotism, sound progress. and sound sense which are exemplified in the person of William Howard Taft: or whether it will em- bark on the shoreless sea of dema gogy with a man of the small cali Der of Theodore Roosevelt in charge Of it's destinies.
 So. let the fight go on. Tine Re publican hasn't a doubt as to the out come It feels absolute confidence that the demagogy, the socialism. the blindly egotistic policies" of Theo- dore Roosevelt will be overwhelming

ly rejected and that Mir. Taft will receive the nomination of his party at Chicago next June.
 In 1904 Mir. Roosevelt said under candidate" But conditions have changed" somebody says. Well. sup pose they have? Does not the aver ment Under no circumstances" cover the element of changed conditions?
 Is the fact that a man makes a deliberate promise only to break it a recommendation as to his fitness fol the office of president?
 It is true conditions have changed Mir. Roosevelts panic has largely passed away. for one thing. Mir TafCs administration has succeeded in doing some very effective anti trust work. for another
 And. by the way. does anybody happen to know of any effective an ti-trust work Mr Roosevelt ever did
 The truth about this whole matter is that the flattery which has been heaped upon Mir. Roosevelt has gone to his head He is not nearly so big a man as he imagines. He never created a single thought that anybody remembers. He never originated d single economic policy that has lived over night He never did d single thing for the uphuilding of the coun- try. His language is the language of the prize-ring. Almost any lawyer of ordinary education and intelli gcncc knows more than he knows of the constitutional questions he has tried to discuss. And. finally. when he went into the New York campaign in 1910 the men whose cause he championed were buried under an avalanche of ballots.
 Is it possible the republican party will turn it's back on the man who has given the country an honest ef- ficient. and capable administration and who stands for every tradition of enlightened republicanism. to risk four years of turmoil and political vaude- vile which would certainly ensue in the event of MT Roosevelts elec- tion?
 MT. Roosevelt, in his announcement talks about the rule of the people Well. We have the rule of the peo- ple in this country right now. We always have had it. The smallest measure of popular rule this country ever had occurred in the last three years of AIr. Roosevelts term when. as far as he was able to dictate, We had the rule of personal vanity. dia- tribe and invective.
 The You're a liar" formula of MT. Roosevelt for settling governmental questions is not the formula likely to receive the endorsement of the re- publican party. to say nothing of the great body of the American people.
 Unless the American people are vastly different from what they have ever shown themselves before the re suit of this latest political develop ment will be simply this: MT Taft will be overwhelmingly renominated and prize-ring politics will be buried SO deeply it will never be resurroct- ed

He furnishes quite lot Of amuse- ment and-he makes votes for ;he republicans.
 Take a glance at what our bump tious friend from the shimmering plains of Nebraska is doing Just now he is reading Mir. Underwood. MT Harmon. Mir. Puio and a few more democrats out of the party It happens that these men know great deal more even if they talk a great deal less than does MT. Bryan; but they have dared disagree with the scarified sage. That is the head and front of their offending.
 It's funny when one considers it. Also. it's rather pathetic These three men have been successful po- litically. At least they have been elected to the offices to which they aspired, some of them several times. Mir. Bryan tried-three times, wasn't ito be elected president. and if history is to be believed he got d glorious thrashing each time Now. he wants the democratic party to ! try the same medicine that sent him to the political boneyard. And the funniest thing of all is that that party is likely to do it.
 Follow my advice and nominate my candidate and you'n win." says the hero of cross of gold memory.
 The democratic party did follow his advice and did nominate his candi- date in 1896 It did it again in 1900. It did it again in 1908. And what came of it? The party got d mon umental thrashing in 1896. it got a worse thrashing in 1900; and it got the worst thrashing of all in 1908.
 Just take look at that little af- fair in 1908 There were 4S3 votes in the electoral college then. President Taft got 321 of them and Mir. Bryan Spl lp- MI IdlbN N p'puldi ii"J'i''N was almost one and third mil lions
 When Mir Bryan stands up before the democratic party and says. Just listen to me and I'll tell you how to win this election" it is a good deal like the action of man in the last stages of consumption trying to tell Jack Johnson how to win prize fight.
 Of course all this is said with knowledge of the fact that there is a regrettable condition in the repub- lican party. There is no need dis guising the fact that the party is to some extent divided. But with MT. Bryan in almost absolute dominance of the rank and file of democracy. it is not of record that that aggre- .,tion is in particularly good shape to to any boasting
 It is about twenty chances to one that Bryan will dominate the demo- cratic convention, at least to the eX- tent of writing the essential parts of it's platform. It is more than likely that he will indicate his choice of standard bearer And if he does. good bye to the last vestige of demo- cratic hopes.
 Here is the proposition. The demo- cratic party must carry New York to win. It has got to do it. It must have those 45 electoral votes. And a Bryan candidate. or any candidate running on Bryan platform. has about as much chance to carry New York as has the gentleman from Tophet to qualify as soloist in the heavenly choir.
 If the republicans re-nominate Mir Taft. adopt a straight-out, old time, republican platform, make an old fashioned. aggressive fight and trust the rest to William J. Bryan they need feel no uneasiness.

he has been a traightforward. staUnch and dependable advocate.
 If thus carrying out the policies of his party which were endorsed by the American people when they elected him, he fails to secure renomina- tion. then. indeed. is gratitude in his party dead. If nominated he will he elected, because the American people are not fools If he should be de- feated it will be because they prefer, for time, a democrat who typifics policies that are the antithesis of the ones that President Taft stands for If they prefer democrat to the big, brave. able man that now occupies the position, I say let them have him and the quicker they get him the better.

From two different sources come
tidings that more arbitrary measures
are being used to rid the world Of
that useless commodity, the bachelor.
Over in Baltimore, 1t appears that
Rev. DR.. William Wilberforce Costin,
one of the most scholarly divines In
the Baltimore conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, has re-
signed because of obstacles put In
his way in order to send him into
matrimony. Apparently, DR.. Costin
did not want to marry. but he was
told that the best places in the min
istry were for married men. So he
resigned. This action was not very
complimentary to the ladies, but
probably no man liks to think he is
being forced into marriage. 1t would
have been better had the conference
left the matter to the women OF the
faith. 1t might take them some time
to succeed but IL woman will she
