An INCoNCIusIyD pnI,,,ny.

Most OF tho third term organs agree
in tho following conclusion reached by
the Kansas City Star:
senator Burton deplores the light
vote In tho primary election. But the
lightest primary votes have been many
times larger than tho votes OF the
old-fushioned caucuses."
The old-fashioned coucuses were
participated in almost exclusively by.
party leaders and few Of the rank
and file interested IN politics. Their
desires controlled results. Cauouses
did not indicate the party desire, ex-
cept TO that extent that shrewd poll
tloiaus in their caucus action arc
guided by knowledge OF the sonti-
iuent among their constituents. on the
othcr hand. tho claim that the prosi-
Genital primaries register accurately
and completely the popular viii is
unsound; rs matter OF fact they are
so far inconclusive
Actual figures show that only about
| half OF tho Republican vote went TO
the Rolls In the primary States, ana
that the third term candidate got only
/ a little moro than halls OF that half.
Less than one out of every three of
} the voters In tho Republican party
/ supported him ana less than one out

CLARK AND THE PENSION GRAB.

CLARK AND THE PENSION GRAD.
Tho position OF Champ Ozark on the
Sherwood pension bill IS one of tho
reasons which should cause his reteo-
ton as 4 candidate FOR tho Democratic
nomination. His attitude on that inoas-
ure revealed the de,nagoguory OF the
man and the manner and the method IN
which he socks TO appeal TO tho Amor
lean people.
No sectional view neea be taken OF
Clarlc's position on the 7cusion plum
derbund. The United States would be
an ungraterul republic ,ndeod II IT did
not make reasonable provision for the
old age and the innrmities OF tho men
who fought In i;s defense and their
families. Tho pension principle IS
sound, but It has been carried into out
-agcous practice. The Sherwood bill
sought TO add $40, 600, 600 to the bur
den OF an already untustly overbur-
dened people It would have Increased
the cost OF pensions from S165,ooo, 600
TO s2s5,ooo,ooo every year.
Was such an increase unreasonable
IN tho light OF past appropriations? Is
the present appropriation. leaving aside
the increase contemplated In the Sher-
wood bill. unwarrantablo7 The records
answer both .nterrogatories unrrna-
