The Star is published way out in
Callahan County and asks foolish
question like this. Why, of course
Senator Sheppard is drawing his
salary as an official of the W. o. W.
Why not? 1t was the vote of the
organization that put him where he
is, and why should he not draw his
salary? He is now getting only $11,'

Senator Sheppard may not be the
biggest man in the world, nor the
greatest statesman, but he is doing
his full duty by Texas. He is fast
gaining the reputation of being the
hardest worker in the Senate. He is
always at his post and never misses
a roll call. AS the Examiner says, his
connection with the w 0, w. is no
body's business so long as it does moi
interfere with his official duties.

The COlonel's Dilemma

Reports from Oyster Bay agree in
regarding the colonel as wholly dis
satisfied with the conduct of the cam
paign and frankly distressed over the
condition of the country. In spite of
his most valiant efforts he has not
been able to get on the front page, a
fact which he attributes to malefactors
of great wealth, who have entered in
to a conspiracy to ignore him.
The colonel recognizes that the ma
terial results of the canvass which
ended yesterday are of minor impor-
tance; in fact, almost negligible. He is
not himself a candidate for Office. But
he is much disturbed over the effect
his continued subordination to other
news may have on the grave issues to
be decided in 1916. That year he has
set aside for the redemption of the ma
ton, and if the present paucity Of pub
licity continues he may be unable to
carry out his plans. He admits that
the pursuit and exposure of the same
old Bill is yielding scarcely any nutri-
ment, and he questions seriously
whether the national conscience can be
awakened through such medium.
The colonel is undecided whether or

No Muzzling of the Press

One of the gratifying thing of the

the people expressed their opinion of

measure was condemned by the voters
by majority of at least to /.
There was absolutely no excuse for
such measure. 1t was an outcome
Of fight between newspapers and

have had only one effect, and that
would be to destroy the freedom of
the press in Colorado, or to destroy
the newspapers themselves, in event
that they refused to bow the knee to
a political commission.
The people are very sensitive upon
this subject and they showed that on
Tuesday. Newspapers may not be al
ways correct in their views and opin-
ions, but by far the great majority of
them are uninfuenced by any ul-
terror motives in expressing their
views.-Ex.

The ShOrt-Lived PrOgressives

The outstanding fact about Tues
days election is the swift decline of
the progressive party all over the
country and the splendid recovery
made by the republican party every
where.
In New York, in Pennsylvania, in
Massachusetts,, in Kansas, in Colo
RADIO, in fact, everywhere the pro-
gressive party, having been the sec
ond party in the race, is now a poor
third. The decline was very pro-
nounced in every state except Califor-
mia, where Governor Hiram johnson
has erected a political machine that
will rival that of Boss Tweed in his
earlier day.
It is also notable that these repub-
lican victories were accomplished evs
erywhere through the vote of the peo-
pie themselves. The progressives
have been crying aloud for direct
expression of the people at the polls,
particularly with respect to United
States senator's. And now, Pennsyl-
vania has reelected Senator Bois Pen
rose by a majority of 100000. The
protege of Roosevelt, Clifford Pinchot,
running as progressive, almost dis
appeared in the race. In New York
state, Charles s. Whitman is elected
governor by a tremendous plurality,
and the progressive candidate, per-
sonally indorsed and conducted by Mr..
Roosevelt, will scarcely receive 10
per cent Of the total vote. The same
thing is true in all sections Of the

country.

country.
From a national standpoint the DEM
ocratic party will lose heavily. Its
majority in the house of representa-
tives will be cut down from 141 to
25, this, despite the fact that the re-
publican national leaders were not
anxious to secure control Of the house
at this election. They believed that
it would be wiser policy for the DEM
ocratic party to still remain in power
until 1915, when it would be judged
by its record as whole when it was
in complete control Of the government
for a perod of four years.
Moreover, many persons, in voting
upon candidates for congress, con-
cluded that possibly an adverse cote
might be construed into lack of con-
fidence in President Wilson's course
with respect to the European war,
and therefore, they determined to sup
port the administration in this off
year for that reason alone. s'
Taken as a whole, however, viewing
the situation the country over. the re-
publican party has every reason for
abstraction over the issue and looks
confidently forward to the campaign
of 1916.--Colorado Springs Telegraph.

The Republican Victory

In national way, the returns from
the elections in the several states are
open to but one Interpretation. The
republican party has again come into
its own. Or to put it a trif1e more
explicitly, the people have tried the
democratic party in the balance and
found it wanting. AS matter of fact
though, it is probable that the demo-
cratic party would not have been CIV
en- trial had it not been for the divis-
ion in the republican party that be-
gan some five years ago with the cru
sade of the republican insurgents" in
congress. This was responsible for
placing the democrats in control of
the house of representatives during
the last half of the Taft administra-
ton. Then came the big fight in the
party for the control of the national
convention of 1912, that ended in the
withdrawal of Colonel Roosevelt from
the party and his organization of the
bull moose party. Under his stren-
uous leadership the new party waxed
Vigorous during the campaign of that
year, and developed sufficient strength
which it drew almost entirely from
the republican party, to cause the lat
ter's defeat and give victory to the
democrats. This victory was of the
minority variety and could not pos
sibly be construed as a general in
dorsement by the people of democrat
/ ic policies. But it put the democrats
in power at Washington, and gave
them their long-looked for chance.
And the voters yesterday said rather
Iemphatically that they are not salts
fed with the way the democrats have
taken advantage of their opoprtuni-
ties.
In SO saying, they also sounded the
death-knell of the progressive party.
As political wise-acres have been pre-
dieting, it was but flash in the po-
litical pan. It was a disastrous one
to the republican party while it en-
joyed the vigor of its youth. But the
bulk of the republicans who followed
it into the field of radicalism and also
because Of their personal admiration
and faith in Colonel Roosevelt, desert
ed it as enthusiastically yesterday as
they joined it two years ago. In most
Of the states, full progressive tickets
were in the field both for state and
congressional Offices. In several of
them, New York and Pennsylvania in

Frank Bryan, of Cambridge, as dlvi-

as an office deputy in Baltimore.
Mr.. Bryan is a brother Of William
H. Bryan, of Baltimore county, who
was strongly recommended for the
position which Mr.. Miles now fills,
and who was known as Congressman
Talbott's candidate for the place
In appointing Mr.. Bryan's brother to
a deputyship, Mr.. Miles seems to
have been DESTROYS Of showing con-
sideration for a defeated opponent.
The district over which Frank
Bryan will have charge is composed
of Dorchester, Caroline, Talbot, Kent.

Bryan will receive salary of S1,20O
a year, and $500 for travelling expen-
ses.
The selection of Mr.. Bryan came as
a matter of considerable surprise to
many of the local politicians, as the
organization in the beginning of the
contest supported Mr.. Daniel II.
Wright, but it is reported that during
the past few weeks, a number of
strong organization people, some OF
whom are leaders, minated to Mr..
Wright their desire for him to with
draw, and to Collector Miles their
willingness to see Mr.. Bryan appoint
ed. It is also rumored that Mr..
Wright was told that ne would be ia
ken care of with another appoint
ment later, if he would withdraw,but
that he refused to do so, stating that
he was a candidate for this position,
and for this one only, and that as he
had been the first applicant from this
county, and had been assured of the
organizations support, he did not
feel that he was being fairly treated
in being asked to withdraw. under
the existing circumstances.
