The organization claiming to be
the republican state committee,
met in Huron last week and pro-
posed a somewhat ridiculous
scheme which they hope will de-
lude the republicans and get them
in line for the support of the Bull
Moose candidates. They proposed
to have a small ballot bearing the
names of Taft and Roosevelt, and
let each voter express bis prefer
ence ut the polls. The inference
is that the presidential electors
would then cast their votes for the
one receiving the greatest number
Of votes. The fallacy of this pro-
position is in the presumption that
the friends of Taft and the friends
of Roosevelt are simply factions of
one party and that they are divia-
ed simply on y choice OF candl-
dates The Bull Moose party is as
distinct from the republican party
as is the democratic party, and
there is very little similarity in the
platforms they stand on. If there
is to be any double team work in
this state the elephant would pro-
badly hitch up with the mule as
readily as he would with the
moose.

The Sioux City Tribune refers to
the Canadian reciprocity treaty as
a betrayal of the farmers of this
country and the business men of
Canada" Yet when the recipro.
city treaty was being considered
by congress the Tribune was a firm
supporter of it. Why did the Tri
bune favor such a betrayal ?"
The Tribune also criticizes the
president for the character of the
judges placed upon the commerce
court Including the impeached
Judge Archibald" 1t is well to
remember that Judge Archibald
was commissioned as federal
Judge by President Roosevelt and

The provisional committee of the
new party settled all of the contests
from the south by ruling out all
negro delegates. They "compro-
missed" with the negroes by giving
them seats as Supplemental" dell :
gates, but without votes When
the decision was announced the
negro delegates took off their
Roosevelt badges and called an
Indignation meeting. The follow
ers of the new movement delight
in likening their movement to that
of Lincoln's. Lincoln's movement
had for it's purpose the emansipa-
tion of the negroes. This one
seems to be designed to place them
in subserviency. They are to be
compared by contrast rather than
similarity. The credentials com
mittee declared that the states
themselves should decide the
method by which delegates should
be elected. This old states rights
method is bonanza for the bosses
For instance, we notice that South
Dakota is represented by R. S.
Vessey of Philadelphia, and a few
others, but who elected them, or by
what authority they repres ent the
people OF this state no one seems
to know.

Really we are beginning to have
some hopes for Dean Sterling. He
usually changes his mind as often
as he does his shirt, but according
to statement sent to the Sioux
City Journal he has now remained
steadfast four weeks. He started
out as an independent republican
candidate for senator. Then he
declared for Mr.. La Toilette. A
few days later he was footing a
little horn on the band wagon of
Roosevelt. Three days before the
Huron convention he declared that
he would support Mr.. Taft, as he
was the regular nominee of the ma
tional convention. When he reach.
ed the Huron convention he pas.
sed under the big stick of Basford
and came out a full degree Nom.
Der of the bull moose party. In
his statement to the Journal last
week he says that he is in full
sympathy with the Roosevelt thiro
party movement. This indicates
that he has beaten his record by
remaining unterrifed for a month

|, The Nebraska republican plat
form takes very comprehensive
stand regarding what constitutes
republicanism. It reaffirms "al-
legiance to the fundamental prin
ciples enunciated by the founders
of the party. Individual liberty,
equality of opportunity and the
right of the whole people to dictate
the policies of the government.
Belief in and adherence to these
basic principles is the only badge
of membership in the republican
party"
Why did the trainers of the plat
from not say that fidelity to the
constitution of the United States
constitutes republicanism p That
would be shorter and would be just
as explicit. Republicans will all
agree that these are fundamental
principles of their party, but they
are also fundamental principles Of
every other political party in the
country. They are the end toward
which all parties are aiming. Diff
ferent parties have different ideas
regarding the best means of attain
ing these ends, and hence the vari.
GUS parties put forth platforms
from year to year, designed to
meet existing conditions and Sc
cure to the people the rights and
privileges portrayed in these fund
amental principles. The republic
ans set forth their plans at the
Chicago convention, and the demo-
Gratis gave US their plans at Balti-
more. Whether one is republic
an or a democrat does not depend
upon his allegiance to those funda-
mental principles, for all believe in
them, but it depends upon whether
one believes that the Chicago or
the Baltimore plan is the better
calculated to accomplish that end.
Those who do not have confidence
in either of these plans have the
privilege of accepting the Bull
Moose plan, and should get under
that banner. 1t is M disgrace to-
change party allegiance, but it is a
disgrace to try to procure the
spoils of Office by misrepresentation
of ones position to the voters.

The plan which Mr.. Roosevelt
proposes to give the "dear people"
greater voice in government is
unique to say the least. He would
have the nominees for president,
vice president, senators and repre-
sentatlves in congress assemble
and adopt the party platform.
These being the persons charged by
the voters with responsibility of
giving effect to party promises he
believes they should be the ones to
make those promises. Wouldn't
this be a glorious way of letting
the people rule? Instead of hav-
ing the people formulate the prin-
ciples that their officers are expect
ed to carry out, and the officers be-
ing simply agents of the people to
do their expressed will, he would
have the people simply elect the
officers, and those officers would
then tell the people what was good
for them and proceed to dish it up
to them without let or hindrance.
These officers being the ones
charged with the responsibility Of
carrying out the party pledges.
!they would very naturally make
pledges that would be most profit
able for them to carry out. How
Mr.. Roosevelt does trust the deal
people!
