The Defeat of Bristow

What has happened Senator Bristow of Kan sas is precisely what The Republican predicted months ago would happen. He will not this year be a candidate to succeed himself. He has been defeated for the republican nomination by former Senator Curtis. Mir Brstow has been a pestiferous fellow almost since his the senate. His partisanship has peculiarly offensive. Any suggestion from the president and many of his sug- gestons have been good always countering the opposition of Bristow. He has been involved in acrimonious disputes with his col leagues than any other member of that body, and in most instances he has been on the wrong side of the controversy.
 Bristow at one time professed to be progress sive. but, failing accurately gauge the tenacity and strength of the progressive movement in Kan sas, and fearing the strength of Victor Murdock that party months ago Bristow announced that he would seek the republican nomination. It seemed then hopeless quest for little left of the republican party except reactionary element, to which he could not reasonably appeal for support.
 Not only had he bitterly opposed that element in the short period his progressivism, but he did dare to proclaim that he had recanted and become advocate of the things for which the republicans stood. There was every reason why they should support him and why they should support him.
 If he had succeeded in securing the nomination, he would undoubtedly have been defeated by Mur dock who will attract himself only the strong progressive party of that state but considerable element of the progressive republicans whose prin ciples are different those of Murdock and who would prefer of another party to who had switched back and forth from party to another.
 This view of the would have been taken by Brstow himself but for egregious vanity which impelled him believe that his personality would obliterate all party lines obscure all party prin- cples.
