The Spirit Of 1t

VIM. D. Haywood was tried for
murder in Idaho. There was proof
enough offered to hang a dozen men,
but unfortunately it was not confirmed
as it was delivered by the real agent
who perpetrated the murder. But Mr..
Haywood delivered a speech in Coopers
Union, New York, the other day, in
which he said:
My heart is with the Mcnamara
boys, SO long as they are working in
the interest of the working class. I
don't think any socialist can be law
abiding citizen"
The McNamaras confessed to whole
sale murder. All Mr.. Haywood did at
Coopers Union was to confess that he
approved OF murder in obedience to a
code which, in effect, says: Working
men have right to do what they please
regardless of the law, and if anyone
interferes with their program, it is right
to murder him."
1t would be very good thing if the
labor unions Of this country, on the
confession of the McNamaras and the
admissions OF Mr.. Haywood, should
determine to have little house clean
ing OF their own and never more elect
officers who have a code which inter
feres with the demands and the execu-
ton of the righteous laws of the United
States. -Goodwins Weekly.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1912-01-12

general attitude toward democracy and
the rule of the people seem to indicate
that he is entirely at home in the COM
pany of the majority of the national
committee that was opposed to allow
ing the membership of the party a
chance to express its wishes.
The Manchus of the republican
party are destined to pay dearly for the
open display Of contempt for the rank
and flee the organization. Gradually
it will sink into the programmed voters
of the eastern region that their brethren
in the progressive states enjoy privi-
leges within the party that are denied
to them, and they will demand to know
the reason. No doubt we would all of
US be in favor of an aristocracy, if we
could only have the assurance that we
would be the favored few. The ma
tional committeeman are doing very
well, thank you, and would rather have
things continue as they are. But a
little later they will begin to hear from
the back counties.
"One fact will continue to puzzle
the politicians of the LaFollette faction
and that is this: If the Taft candidacy
is in such perfect order as we have
been led to believe, with the south
perfectly solid, the east unbroken, and
even the middle west unanimous, why
were his supporters in such terror of a
popular vote on him as against the field?
What prompted this sudden and de-
termined refusal of the presidential pri-
mary? Was it bad politics or bad
craftsmanship, or just desire on the
part OF our political aristocrats to admin
lister a swift kick to Mr.. Common Peo-
pie, Esq, so that the fellow may learn
to keep his proper placer"

SHALL PEOPLE RULE?
NO, SAY THE BOSSES
The Progressive Way and the Standpat
Way Compared

Washington D. c., January 8-One
of the chief differences between Senator
LaFollette and President Taft is to be
found in the fact that Senator LaFol-
lete is willing and anxious that all the
voters in all parts OF the country be
permitted to name the republican can
didate for the presidency, while Presi-
dent Taft is determined to have the
nomination regardless of the will Of the
people. Senator LaFollette is willing
to rest his case with the voters. Presi-
dent Taft, unwilling to do likewise,
proposes to have the delegates from
the southern states tied in knot and
delivered to him en- masse at Chicago.
The presidential nomination situation
is presented clearly, fairly and without
prejudice in the current number of the
California Outlook" which says:
"A striking and significant contrast,
and one that is agreeable for the liberal
mind to contemplate, is the attitude Of
the national republican committee to-
ward presidential primary as against
that of the California Legislature and
the governor.
The point at issue is plain enough.
Are the delegates to the national re-
publican convention to be selected by
the people or by the leaders and local
bosses? Is the nomination to express
the views of the membership of the
party or OF few individuals who have
managed to gain control Of the machin-
ery2 The question was put squarely
before the national committee by Sen
ator Borah and vote taken. The Taft
people stood in solid phalanx against
the direct primary, and, as they have
an overwhelming majority in the com
mittee, it was turned down. They had
nothing to offer against the plan, ex-
cept that they were sure of the dele
gates as the case stood and they were
not willing to take chances on veto
to their program by the mere common
herd of the party.
In California conditions are exactly
reversed. The progressive, anti-Taft
element is in control both of the legis-
lature and the party machinery of the
state. Thus the progressives can, if
they choose, name LaFollette delegates
to the national convention. But as
they believe in the principle OF the peo-
pies rule, the legislature provides for
direct primary and accepts the
chance of losing the delegates to the
Taft faction.
Governor Johnson has given a little
more high light to the contrast by the
publication Of letter from Senator La
Toilette in which he frankly recognizes
the fact that the adoption Of primary
law may result in transferring the
California delegation from his column
to Taft's, but nevertheless advises that
the primary be ordered-because it is
right.
Thus far no letter from Mr.. Taft to
the national committee urging the
adoption of direct primary because it
was right has been made public. In
fact the utterances OF the president on
the recall and direct legislation and his

BIG BATTLE IS
ANTICIPATED IN

Armies of Balkan Allies
Cross the Frontier, While

London. Oct. 21.-Three and perhaps
four big battles probably will be begun
within few days, If not a few hours,
on the territory of European Turkey.
Armies of the Balkan allies have now
crossed the frontier on all sides while
the Turks, as their opponents sd-
vance, are giving up their frontier
posts and abandoning small and un-
important towns, falling back slowly
on their strongly entrenched positions
preparatory to giving battle there.

army is rapidly growing In strength
and with time VIII outgrow that of the

Eye Witness Says Union Man
Fired First Shot in the Riot

Martin raised his pistol and fred,
pointing the weapon towards the
ground. Then somebody handed him
long gun from the wagon and I ran
into the mail office.
Galloway stated that he secured a
pistol from desk drawer and as the
shooting had become general in the
meantime he joined in until his pistol
was empty. Then he reloaded and
started for his uncle's house, pursued
by bullets.
Galloway denied Shirley B. Buxton's
testimony that the mill hands were
drunk or that they fired first on the
fugitives.
Martin W. Gaoway preceded his
son on the stand and concluded his
evidence begun Saturday. The morn
ing of the trouble he saw four men,
two of them armed, pass through Gra-
bow. The armed men shook their
guns at Sedberry, the blacksmith, and
