Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1915-12-18

- was Tor many years a potent
force in Kansas politics. Dur
,ng his active career, which covered
something like a quarter of a century.
Republican gathering of Importance
and general interest was not complete
without the presence of Jim" Simp-
son, and few Kansans were more widely
known. good mixer, thoroughly posted
to all the angles of factional align
ment and local alliances, shrewd and
keen judge of men, Simpson was an
effective force in whatever camp the
fortunes of politics placed him. In eau
Gus and convention methods he was
adept, cautious, resourceful and quick
to take advantage of an opponents
weakness.
Several years ago-just how many
the subject of this story has ruled that
names and dates must be excluded
Simpson was partisan of a certain can
didate for a Republican caucus nomi-
nation for United States Senator. 1t
goes without saying that it was before
the days of direct primaries. There
were six or seven candidates, and as is
usual in such. contests one of the can
didates had developed so strong a fol-
lowing that the field had combined
against him. insofar as was necessary,
and possible, to prevent his complete
control of the caucus.
Simpson and his friends had been in
complete control of the convention in
Mcpherson county which had nominated
all the candidates for county Office, in
Guiding Representative. The Represen-
Iative elected had been nominated for
a second term, not because he was sat
tsfactory to Simpson and his friends but
because to use the power they had, and
deny him a second term would upset
a two term precedent which had been
established for many years, and might
lead to embarrassment in subsequent
conventions. Simpson knew that this
particular man was not friendly to the
senatorial candidate favored by a ma
jority of the delegates in the county con-
vention, but concluded to try to tie him
with instructions.
So before the county convention,
Simpson sought out the Representative,
who was naturally DESTROYS of a second
nomination. and inquired as to whether
he would respect the vote of a majority
of delegates in the convention as to
their senatorial choice as an instruction.
The Representative replied that he
would.
Before he was nominated by the con-
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1915-12-18

vention, vote was taken to determine
the choice of the delegates for United
States Senator. More delegates ex-
pressed themselves for the candidate
favored by Simpson than were for all
the other senatorial candidates. Be-
fore the Representative was renomi-
mated he stated to the convention that
while he personally favored another sem
atorial candidate-and by the way this
particular senatorial candidate was the
one VINO above all others Simpson did
not want-that he would regard the con-
vention's action as an instruction and
would abide by it.
He made his word good, until after
election. Then he became active in
support of his own choice, much to Simp-
sons disgust and indignation. Simp-
son knew his man too well though, to
attempt to persuade him to change his
course. He simply bided his time, took
the chatting imposed by his friends over
the detection of the instructed Repre-
sentative good naturally. and devoted
himself to perfecting the organization
behind the candidate he favored.
The afternoon before the senatorial
caucus, it became apparent that If an
adjournment could be prevented after
three or four ballots on which no choice
had been made, a stampede would ensue
and Simpsons choice would be named
that night. This feeling pervaded the
opposition too, and strenuous efforts
were made to line up every possible
member to vote for an adjournment af-
ter the third or fourth ballot. Mean
while, the supporters of the candidate
with whose fortunes Simpson had cast
his lot, were striving nightly to per-
feet an organization that would pre-
vent an adjournment. Noses had been
counted carefully and it was known that
the fight would be very close. so close
indeed that one or two votes either way
might change the result.
The Representative from Mcpherson
county was supporting a candidate who
was comparatively new to politics. The
Representative himself was not acute
enough to know, without being posted,
just what the significance of the vote
on adjournment might be, and he was
so enthusiastic for his candidate that
taken for granted and that he had not
been posted. He searched his Repre-
sentative out in the old Copeland lobby
and Unanswered him into a corner and
said:
81 want to ask you to do something
at the caucus tonight OF course, I
could have beaten you for renomina-
ton. and when you decided to go back
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1915-12-18

on your instructions 1 was so mad that
1 didn't want to talk to you at all. But
since 1 have thought it over, 1 feel bet
ter about it because I know that you
are following your conscientious con-
victions. and I'm not going to say any
thing more about it. / haven't asked
you to do anything this winter, and I'm
not going to, after tonight. But 1 am
going to lay down on you to vote for
an adjournment of that caucus tonight,
if we don't nominate after the third or
fourth ballot"
Now Simpson would have lost leg
rather than have the caucus adjourned,
but he made a desperate lay-down on
his Representative to vote for adjourn
ment just the same. And the more he
insisted, the sulkier and less communi-
cative became the Representative.
Finally, he left the lobby to get away
from Simpsons insistence and he did
not show up around any of the sena-
torial headquarters before the caucus.
He came into Representative Hall,
where the caucus was held, just before
the ba1loting began. Three ballots were
taken without a choice, but with the
candidate Simpson favored well in the
lead. Then came the anticipated mo-
ton to adjourn. A roll call was de-
manded, and it began amid scenes of
confusion. Everyone understood that
the final test of the strength of the lead
ing candidate was being taken, and it
was understood that every member who
voted against adjournment was really
in favor of the leading candidate, with
out regard to how his votes had been
cast previously.
The Representative from Mcpherson
sat silently in his seat, his eyes fixed
on Jim" Simpson. He had had expe-
rience with Simpson in many caucus
and convention fights, and he knew just
one thing for sure. That was, that what
Jim" Simpson wanted, he didn't want.
And when his name was called, he
voted mo" so loud as to make some
folks think he wanted to be heard in
Mcpherson.
His vote created a sensation, 1t was
so unexpected Members with whom he
had been voting were dumbfounded.
The candidate he had been supporting
rushed to him, but he was so excited
that he was speechless. Before he could
explain the situation, the roll call had
been completed and the result was an
nounced. The motion to adjourn had
been lost by one vote. Meanwhile, Sfmp-
son was enjoying much the same SEN
sations as did the cat that ate the ca
ing on the fact that there are more

to that effect. Simpsons candidate for
Senator was nominated on the next bal
lot.
Folks who have lived in Kansas as
much as ten years know all about the
friendship existing between ex-Govern-
or Stubs and w. s. Fitzpatrick of In
dependence, who became general attor
ney for the Prairie Oil and Gas Com
pany and retired from politics after
eight years experience as president pro
tenn of the state senate. During six of
those years, Stubs was member of
the lower House of the Legislature, and
he and Fitzpatrick were consistent en-
emies throughout the time. Fitzpatrick
probably made Stubs more trouble in
his early program than anyone else In
the state, and he was not always care
full to refrain from remarks that ranked
in the Stubs mind. The Ex-Governor
is an intense fighter, and has hardly
educated himself to '1ove thine enemy
as myself" A few days ago, ex-Gov-
ernor Stubs and Fitzpatrick happened
to meet in the lobby of a Kansas City
bank. The Ex-Governor greeted the for
mer Senator enthusiastically, and with
the usual Stubs boisterousness.
why Senator" he said, I'm glad to
see you. Haven't seen you in a coons
age. You're looking mighty WELL" and
then looking him over quizzica11y while
he continued to wiring his hand. IT be-
lieve you're looking a lot better since
you got out of politics"
"Ohi 1 don't know about that, Gov
ernor," responded Fitzpatrick. Maybe
just look better to you since got out
of politics." ~

President Wilson is asking the

for the purpose of framing laws
for the benefit of all. "
The quick way to do that, Mr..

present Underwood tariff and to
re-enact either the Dingley or the
Payne-Aldrich tariff. Both these
laws worked to the benefit OF

ONE MORE ALTERNATIVE.

The tariff is not nowadays

FAINT industry into a matured in
dustry. 1t is a constant equaliza-
ton of competitive conditions. 1t
is needed to make up for the dit
ferences in the cost OF production

either have a wall of protection
high enough for that purpose, or
elese we must not go into the
business of manufacturing, or
there is one more alternative, that
is to reduce our wages and hours
of work to the European or other

is impossible.-Cedar Rapids Ga,

THE PROPOSED PUBLICITY
CAMPAIGN.

There is a movement on foot
to inaugurate a campaign OF edu-
cation in politics, and to devote
the next year, or the period be-
tween the present time and the
meeting of the respective parties
to choose Presidential candidates,
to the task of informing the public
as to the record of the Democratic
party. This is a wise resolve,
and if carried out energetlcally
will aid materially in retiring to
private life at the end OF the pres
ent terms Mr.. Wilson and his col
leagues, who are playing at states
manship, and foisting upon the.
country laws based on theory,
without regard to the practical
tiles of business and national HE.
1t is remembered that the late
Marcus A. Hanna undertook
campaign of education in the great
fight over free silver and in be-
half of protective tariff, III 1870.
His example is a good one to toll
low. The memory of the voters
needs to be refreshed, and the
large army OF new voters which
graduate into the electorate every
four years should be instructed
in the principles OF the great po-
litical parties, in order that they
may make an intelligent choice
when they come to cast their first
ballot for President, and Tor
the members OF Congress who as
sumo office at the same time that
the Chief Executive takes the
oath.
The principles OF a tariff for the
protection OF American industry
need to be carefully eXpounded,
and the fallacies of free trade eX-
posed. The exposition of the doc
trine should be illustrated by the
depression in business which has
followed the enactment OF the I'm
derwood tariff law, and this will
be easily brought home to the in
dividual voters who have suffered
loss of employment or curtailed
opportunity to work for their
families.
By all means, let the limelight
of pitiless publicity be turned on
the Democratic party.-Pitts-
burgh Chronicle.

vailing business depression and
lack of remuneratiye employment.
This great, rich, new country
requires a protective tariff, a rea-
sonable one. something that will

age of the Mills bill would be

would have been worth twice

In the trenches like so many dead
animals. But when the army was
on the move, the dead were loft to
remain where they had fallen.
often the men were not even dead.
They were simply wounded and they
would live among the dead until the
angel OF death would come and re-
lease them, too.
Care OF the dead and wounded has
progressed Wonderfully since Ma
I5oleop's time. In the Crinean War
the International Red Cross did Its
first important work In caring for
sick and wounded. The dead. how
ever, were left for the soldiers to
dispose OF. When soldiers are be-
siegtd or when they are fighting
over practically the same ground it
is necessary for the dead to be
buried 50 they will not be a menace
to the living.
