suffragist leader recently released
from a London Jail, where. she had
been confined for window smashing,
declared in New York the other day
that as soon as she returns to Eng

turned loose. By dogs of war she
means the brick-hurling, fire-setting
militant suffragettes, who have al

otherwise. But even should it be

Roosevelt is quoted as saying: "All
I am trying to do in this twentieth
century is to apply the old injunction
to do untot others as 1 would have
them do unto me" Upon the face
of it the veriest hypocrisy stands out
prominently. What did Roosevelt do
unto Taft? Did he not play the part
of a traitor? Did he do unto Taft as
he would have Taft do unto him:
He cannot fool the people with such
transparent humbuggery as the above
bombastic declaration.

BOSS HALBERT ROASTED.

In resigning from the progressive
committee of fifty, James I. Larson,
assistant secretary Of state, pays his
respects to Hugh T. Halbert. It
seems that Mr.. Halbert is the whole
works" in this state. Caswell and
all the others who led the successful
fight for the colonel last spring have
been relegated to the rear and Mr..
Halbert occupies the center of the
stage.
Here are the concluding paragraphs
of Mr.. Larson's sarcastic interview:
early last spring at a meeting of
the state central committee, en-
deavored to secure the adoption of a
resolution calling for a preferential
primary. After it had been turned
down Governor Eberhart called a
special session of the legislature and
a statewide primary law was passed.
A: statewide primary election was
held and candidates were nominated,
and as I am one of the thousands
who took part in that primary cleo
tion I believe it my duty and the
duty of every voter who took part
and voted at that primary. to sup
port the candidates nominated. ~...
II have been disappointed to find
that some Of the so-called pro-
gressives have new method of NOM
mating candidates and I was SUR
prised to find that you assume abso-
Lutte dictatorship, and if a commit
tee, of which you are chairman, fail
to do your bidding, you Immediately
assume full authority and name can
didates at will.
eff political boss undertook to
do some of the things that you are
doing a protest would 60 up from
all parts of the state and it would be
SO loud that the so-called boss would
be driven into oblivion
!. II believe in the square deal. 1
am opposed to misrepresentation. 1
believe that the people should rule.
l am opposed to dictatorship in every
manner and in every form, and such
being the case, I resign from your
committee of fifty and trust that
my resignation will be accepted i'm
mediately.''

GR4CEFUL .ACOUIESCENCE.

Hon. VIM. E. Lee made a gallant
fight for the republican gubernatoria]
nomination and, as the Union pre-
dicted, was close second in the
race. Had it not been for the null
tiplicity of candidates Mr.. Lee would
have won. Mr.. Rudolph Lee, a son
of Hon. VIM. 3. Lee, is the editor
and publisher of the Long Prairie
Leader and, in the issue of that pa
per for September p he manfully ac-
Quiesces in the verdict rendered at
the primary election in these grace
full words:
."Governor Eberhart was nominated
at the primaries on the 18th. He
is entitled to the support of the re-
publicans of the state and the Lead
er will support him.
I'm a primary election in which
the issues we're clean cut, we'll under
stood and in which every man had a
full, fair and free opportunity to
make himself heard, the people de-
cided they wanted Mr.. Eberhart and
the fundamental principle of progress
sive politics is that the people should
rule.
"It might be said that Mr.. Eber-
hart did not receive a majority of
the votes cast and that the divided
field gave him the nomination with
only minority vote. This is beg
ging the question. The people had a
simple, direct and easily understood
method of meeting this condition,
but they preferred, not to see it.
The primary results show clearly
that the republican voters want Mr..
Eberhart as their leader and this
paper believes that what the people
after mature deliberation decide they
want, they ought to have.''
