WHERE HONESTY IS EASY.

1t was perfectly correct to seat the Hon. H. Olin
Young as Congressman from the upper Michigan
district, because ne had credentials that were per-
fectly regular.
But Mr. Young is not entitled to that seat, was
not elected to il, and got if only because trick a
technically, and an accident conspired to give Q
PARTISAN election board the chance to issue the
credentials.
This is point at which the Democratic House
can easily afford to be honest. Its majority is so
big that nothing could hurt it except itself; and be-
sides, doing the square thing here only that
Progressive will get seat improperly held by
Republican It's plain case of honesty made easy.

(Huntingburg Signal. Aug. ~

(Huntingburg Signal, Aug. ID
The New Albany Public Press is
boosting our mutual friend Editor Lew
M. O'Bannon OF the Corydon Demo
crat, for Congress In this district and
asks all Democratic papers to express
their opinion regarding his qualiflca
tions and chances OF success. There
is no man In the district better quail
fed for the place than Lew OBannon.
His ten years service as private sec
retary TO Congressman Zenor gives
him knowledge OF public affairs no
other person possesses. His large ac-
Quaintance with public men Is OF great
advantage. He Is honest, intelligent,
q good editor, well posted In the law,
a splendid speaker, and Democrat par
excellence. There are no flies on Mr..
O'Bannon so far as his qualifications
are concerned. We do not hesitate to
say that he would make as good a
Congressman as the Third Congress
sional district ever had. But az to his
chances OF success, oh, there's the rub
In brief. Congressman w. Z. Cox has
made good. He has stood by the peo-
pie. He has done things. He is a
fighter. from away back. He never lets
up until he gets what he goes after.
On the stump he Is "a power. On the
floor Of the House OF Representatives
he commands respect. Such a man
should be kept in Congress as long as
he remains on the side OF the people.
The Signal stood for this principle
when Zenor was In Congress, and we
see no reason why We should change
our attitude on that question now.
True, Cox has made some mistakes,
perchance he will make more Show
us the public man who has not made
mistakes Judge Zenor made them
when he was In Congress; Speaker
Clark has made them and he has been
in Congress longer than Mr.. Cox: VIM.
j. Bryan has made them since he be-
came Secretary OF State; President
Taft made them and so has President
Wilson. You'll all agree that the big
Stick" president made many mistakes
Therefore few little blunders in the
appointment of postmasters should not
be charged up against Congressman
and be made the only reason for his
defeat. and. as We see Ii now, will not
be in the case OF William Elijah Cox.
In our opinion Mr. Cox. will be re-
nominated and reelected by a hand
