Chairman Dixon's Statement.

Chairman Dixon's first official act was
to issue a statement attacking President
Taft. The statement follows:
For more than fifty years the repub-
Iican party, responding to the demands
try, has controlled the policies of the
nation. This extraordinary lease of dele
gated power from the people has only
followed the response of it's leaders to
the intelligent demands of political
growth and progress. political party
can only retain power when its leadership
can command vote of confidence from
the people themselves.
-Four years ago, by more than 1,oOO-
600 majority. the republican party was
again given new lease of power. Next
November We must again submit our
claim for stewardship to the people.
THE lack Of positive leadership during
the last three years has turned repub-
lican majority Of sixty in the House OF
Representatives into an adverse Demo-
traffic majority of seventy; has changed
a two-thirds vote in the Senate into the
bare political control of that body. and
temporarily has lost control of a dozen
'"The lack of leadership, of statesman
ship. has produced a condition of bust
ness bewilder,nent which has halted the
prosperity of the whole country. There
can be no cure for this industrial stagna-
ton unless we substitute policy OF
progressive and constructive legislation
which shall meet modern conditions with
modern laws. These alarming conditions
challenge the sober attention of every
republican who hopes for success in the
coming presidential election.

sentiment of the people themselves for
his nomination. During the past thirty
days it has begun to dawn on the leaders
of the republican party that while
sometimes dictate convention control in
the mater of political nominations, these
same interests are powerless to control
the action of the people themselves at
the ballot box.
Straw Votes Cited.
Literally hundreds of test votes of
political sentiment in both the great
parties have recently been made by
reputable newspaper and other agen-
cies. and in every section Of the coun-
try, with the single exception Of the
financial district in the lower end Of
one unanimous story. ~

majority over all the candidates COM

While these unofficial tests OF presi-
Dental preference cannot be mathe-
matically accurate, no sane man can
longer doubt the overwhelming senti-
try. who by their ballots in November
will determine the political character
of the next administration.
1.-The only hope left to those republi
cans who are opposed to the nomina-
ton of Col Roosevelt is to control,
patronage in the democratic states of
the south where no republican electoral
vote is possible, the delegates from
those states, together with delegates
from some states east of the Allegheny
mountains, where delegates to the ma
tional convention are named in con-
ventions largely controlled by political
bosses. The republican voters of the
great virile republican states of the
north and west do not propose that
their candidate for President shall be
named by such methods.
Abuse Of Patronage Charged.
Never in the history of American poll
tics has a more fragrant prostitution of
the power Of federal patronage been wit
messed than was recently in certain
southern state. when batch of ten
federal offices was put up at auction for
future delivery to the high bidder in dele
gates to the republican national conven-
ton. The open acknowledgment that
political patronage has been and is being
withheld from duly elected and accredited
republican senators and members in Con-
gress who would not pledge their personal
| allegiance to the denomination of presi-
dental candidate has caused thoughtful
men to inquire whether bribery by the d.
rect use of money is any less reprehen-
sible than bribery by appointment to Of
| flee.
! Responding to the overwhelming senti-
ment Of the republican voters, the ma
| tiona1 organization that has been created
| for the presentation of Col. Roosevelt 8
candidacy confidently believes that he will
| be nominated at Chicago as the standard
bearer Of the republican party, and over
whelmingly elected in November

recommendations as the nature of the
case demands, irrespective of political con-
siderations The conclusion Is obvious
that the commission cannot permit any
person over whom it has jurisdiction to be
improperly active in political analrs.
Second With reference to the punish
ment to be inflicted upon a person found
to have been politically active in viola
ton of the civil service act and rules, 1t
is to be observed that that punishment
will depend upon the nature and degree
of the activity and will extend to criminal

Coming now to an immediate reply to

First That the commission is not

permitted to work for any candidate.

their political Affiliations. and makes such

Commission Asks Cooperation.

Third. In reply to the inquiry whether
a federal office holder will be disturbed
in his office because he refused to take
an active part in the campaign, your at
tention is invited to the inclosed copy OF
the executive order of February 8, 1917,
revising the civil service rule relating to
removals and reductions. That rule APP
plies to persons in the competitive service
and, of course, has no application to
federal officers whose appointments are
made by the President. Your attention
is also invited to the executive order OF
December 80, 1911. copy of which also
is inclosed, showing the punishment to
be inflicted upon rural carriers who take
an active part in political management
or in political campaigns"
In conclusion, Gen. Black says: The
commission requests your cooperation in
bringing to its attention any cases known
to you of violations Of the civil service
act and rules respecting political activ-
ity political coercion, or political as
sessments or contributions over which

CHRISTIAN IS CHURCH
WITHOUT A PASTOR
Rev. A. l.. Grim Resigned to Take up
Evangelical Work Soon

The Christian church of this
city is now without a pastor and
the official board is casting about
for successor to Rev. a. l.. Grim
who has been pastor for the past
three years, and who is now shap
ing his ends to re-enter the evan
gelis,ic field, but the board finds
it next to an impossibiiity to agree
on man and the salary, and it is
just now finding out that for three
years it has had in Rev. Grim a
pastor that would be credit to a
city of much greater population.
He is a man of much more than
ordinary ability as a minister, a
man of deep sCriptural research, a
fine orator, an eloquent and force
full speaker, kind, consider&te and
very sympathetic, man whose
everyday life is in full accord with
his teachings, and while we have
not at all times agreed with some
of his positions, we have never
questioned his honesty of purpose,
or his integrity only his judg-
ment---a common thing among all
men. After having a good rich
