THE LEOPARD'S SPOTS

From LaFollette's Magazine
The primary vote was small. The
Progressive Republicans divided a.
mong five candidates. This enabled
Standpat Republicans 10 nominate
Phillip with a minority of only a.
bout one-third Of the votes polled-
Under the old caucus and conven-
ton system, the skilled manipulation
could ALWAYS make the minority
win. The primary was adopted in the
hope Of securing an expression of
the majority by direct vote. II,

lar election it manifestly fails public

wolves a complete reversal Of the es-
tablfshed policy in state government,
which the people have confirmed at
every election for fourteen years by
votes nearly doubling the total vote
cast at this primary.
Let no man be misled by the
smooth catch phrases of platform or
campaign speeches. Remember how
Stalwart legislators violated the
strongest platform pledges in 1900,
1902 and 1904
E. L. Phillip has been for four

received here yesterday. and prices
were strong to 25 higher, butcher
grade and stockers and feeders show
ing most gain. Receipts today are
5000 head, and buyers realized
that there would be slim picking

at $50 to s9., and grassy natives
seldom brought as lows as $7.25.

week, bulk s5,25to 81. The strength
in butcher grades is the result OF
