Bailey is being knitted in order to

ltes1"ns put up to be defeated. The
Arnold forces claim that he will have
more votes than both Bailey and Hun

Denver fight was any of our affairs,

WILSON'S AVAILABILITY.

The presidential situation in both
parties at the present time cannot
be more impartiaiiy ana succinctlv
stated than in the current Golfers:
Roosevelt is the Republican most
likely to be nominated; next to him
comes Hughes; the weakness of the
president has almost ended his chance,
Now what can the Democrats say to
such an outlook? They must oppose
the immense popularity and cam
piligning ability Of the best president
since the war. called back by the peo
Tie because of his thirtya.-c-.-s of,sue-
cessfll progressive leadership; or tiIer
must oppose "a man of distinguished
character, powerful mind and reassur-
ing record, who will unite the hostile
fa tions OF his party. Under wha,
leadership can they make roadway
against such opponents?
''If they try Harmon or Underwood
they will break their party all to
pieces in the west, and very possibly
1orce Bryan 10 Dolt. ---
"if they nominate Clark, the pAr-
sonal popularity with which he begirS
backed by nothing else, will be bat
tered to pieces in four months of bonn
bardment.
''If Bryan, after supporting both
Clark and Wilson, should fall heir to
their delegates and be nominated him
self, it would be the old story of the
lack of confidence in the east, to which
free silver has apparently made him
the everlasting heir.
'sNo one Of these men could take his
share of the independent vote awaS
from Rockwell or Hughes, and the in
dependent vote is tremendously large
these days. The Democrats are 'ul
against it anyway, in the exceptional
tanning strength of two of the Re-
publican possibilities. Their rational
course is to name the l.,n who would
tske a large slice of the IL dependent
vote; would be backed ny perhaps a
majority of the great magazines and

There is national association op-
posed to woman's suffrage with head
quarters in New York. This associa-
ton publishes "The Woman's Protest" !"
This Protest is on our desk and it will
suffice to say that the arguments
offered, comments made and the silly
prattle indulged in concerning women
voting is not worth the consideration
of any one who knows anything about
the facts in the case. The arguments
offered remind us of some of the ar
.-uments offered in the country school
debates on that subject twenty-five
years ago by those who never pre-
tended to have ability to discuss such
important questions. In those parts
of The country where these matters
haze been settled by law, the people
wonder what is the matter with those
who are quarter of a century behind
the age in which this question was
settled. Here is about all the argu-
ment that is necessary to answer their
antiquated questions, Has any state,
once granting by law the right for
women TO vote, ever repealed that
law? We think it quite sufficient to
inform them who have recently be-
come alarmed that the woman's suf-
frage movement will result in univer-
sal suffrage.

be true, but our observation has been
that when Democrat takes part IN a
Republican primary it is he 'as,>e he
wants an opportunity to vo'e fetythe
man that he wants in the election. II
stems that Democratic politics are not
