Wrong Man

The |. W. W. agitators in Utah have
been raising cain for sometime, but
one of them made bad mistake last
Saturday. Any old timer in the Ar
kansas valley could have told them
that II. P. Myton, former town boomer
all along the valley and well known
Kansas politician, was a poor man to
fool with. One of them after making
numerous threats on his life picked
a quarrel with Myton on public
street. The l. W. w. man started to
draw his gun but was shot three times
before he could get action. He has
been buried since. Myton has a host
of friends all along the valley.

TUESDAYS ELECTIONS
Republicans Make Decided Gains and
the Progressive Party Disap-
pears

A number of eastern states held
elections of more or less Importance
on Tuesday of this week and the re-
turns show that the big drift lack to
the republican party is still in full
tide, while the progressive part as a
factor in national politics is dsindling
to the vanishing point. No third
party ever made such q startling
showing on its first appearance and
none that ever attained its propor-
lions ever disappeared so rapidly.
In Massachusetts, which was re-
garded as the state where national
issues entered most strongly into the
race, the republicans won everything.
For six years the democrats through
popular candidates have succeeded ia
holding the governorship and carry
ing most of the other state officers
with him. Gov. Walsh, their most pop
ular leader, made a desperate canvass
and the remnant Of the progressive
party assisted him in every wa pos
sible. The result was the election OF
Mccall, republican, by 1000 majority
and the balance of the republican
state ticket by $4,000. The repdjli-
cans were also forced to defend two
close congressional districts owing TO
vacancies caused by death and the
progressives made special effort on
these candidates but both won. The
progressives cast so few votes they
lost their standing as a state party.
In New York the political efforts
were conferred on three congressional
vacancies, two Of which were repub-
lican districts and one democratic.
All three were carried by the repub-
licans, and substantial gains made by
the party in the legislature. In Presi-
dent Wilson's home state of New
Jersey the republicans captured the
legislature on joint ballot for the
first time in six years, and will elect
the minor state officers in January.
In Kentucky where the progressives
have for several years been leading
the republicans, it also lost out as
votes. The republicans On the other
hand cut down the big democratic
majority to a point where the returns
are still in doubt, both sides clam
the election of the governor. In Mary
land also the republicans are regain
ing their former strength and the
progressives have almost vanished.
One of the features Of he o.cyticn
which attracted the most attention
was the vote on woman's suffrage in
three of the largest states of the
union, New York, Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts. 1t was defeated in
all three but made a remarkable show
ing in Pennsylvania. New York de
feated its new constitution and Ohio
again defeated prohibition, but also
defeated the proposition to postpone
another vote on the question for six
years.

WASHINGTON AT SAN FRANCISCO.

For the last four five months, ever since the

tcrs to misrcpresent the exhibits of the state of
Washington at the San Francisco exposition with

among people generally that the states displays
Were far better than these particular interests had
attempted to represent them, and because felt
confident that that general opinion would soon so
assert itself that the "antis'' would stop their
cheap little game of politics, we have refraned
from any comment whatever the exposition and
Washngtons part in it.
We noted with considerable pride of course as
Washingtonan probably did, that the state

Of one of the largest Republican newspapers of
the state being numbered among them. Then we
ran across the article in the Elma Chronicle one

with this opportunity of presenting at the

factions SPEAK LOUDER

We all remember that righteous occasion
during the recent session when both McArdle and
Zednick climbed up on their hind legs to deny
stories to the effect that they were framing up'
jobs for themselves, contrary to the express stip-
ulation of the state constitution, and we all re-
member how McArdle took unto himself an eight
dollar-a day job with the state bureau of inspec-
ton few days after the session. Now Zednick
comes along, few months later but only few
short weeks after the law he helped to pass be-
came effective, holding down ive-doar-a-day
state job the educational survey board, to-
gether with four five other members of the last
legislature. McArdle never worried about his
salary-he knew that was fixed-but Zednck did
for while, until State Auditor Clausen (who
would like to be governor) squirmed around the
constitutional provision by deciding that men,
bership on that commission was not civil Office
and advised Zednick and the other solons who
landed in these soft berths that he would honor
the vouchers for their five dollars day.
Having had such an experience with these par
ticular protestants and protestations, one is GER
tainly offered liberal excuse for wondering
whether other righteous remarks made by these
gentlemen and others Of their crowd during the
late-lamented session not open to like develop
ments. We can at least be satisfied on one point !:
a state officer who deliberately violates the plain
word and intent of the state constitution will do
most anything.

BRYAN'S WORD FOR IT.

Ever since the spectacular resignation OF Will
lam Jennings Bryan as secretary of state the Re-
publican newspapers of the country have delighted
in clubbing him Wilson 5 'Teddy Roosevelt and
in predicting big split i'll the Democratic party
and there have been few Democrats who have
also feared that the official difference between the
president and the Commoner might also extend to
their personal and political relations.
Realizing this state of mind 50 far as it has been
exhibited by the Republicans Mr.. Bryan contrib
utes an article his signature to the current
issue of the 'Commoner.' which is headed: Re
publican Solicitude Unnecessary" and which
says:
THE Republican press has seized upon Mr..
Bryan's resignation for giving eX-
preston to vast amount of unnecessary soci-
tude. The editors who have made it their business
for several decades to point out the menace in
volved in Democratic success are lying awake
nights worrying about the possibility of discord
in the Democratic household Insomnia is such
frghtful disease that the Democrats, out of human
sympathy if for no other reason, ought to exert
themselves to allay these fears. What is there in
Mr.. Bryan's resignation that can give hope or
enlargement to Republican? No personal ele-
ment enters into it; it simply irreconcilable
difference of opinion to the methods to be en-
ployed for settling dispute which had arisen be-
tween this country and Germany. Unless the
veracity of both the president and Mr.. Bryan is to
be mpeached, the sole cause of the resignation is
set forth in the letter of resignation and in the
letter accepting it.
'This is not like Republican quarrel over
offce--it is not a conflict between two ambitions.
In other words, it is not Chicago (Republcan)
contest with two splitting the party rather
than that either should surrender to the other the
prize which they both coveted. The fact that the
Republicans and Progressives are getting to-
gether without any change in principle policy
shows that it not principle or policy that
ruptured the party
'sThe president and his secretary Of state were
seeking to promote peace but they differed to
the methods most likely to result in peace. They
agreed to disagree-they separated, each respect
ing the others position. Their purposes have not
changed-their zeal for the partys welfare has
not abated-they are alike welded to the prin-
ciples and policies for which the Democratic party
stands.
''The Republicans are singularly dull of COM
prehenson if they think that the difference be-
tween the president and Mr. Bryan will rebound
to the benefit of the Republican party"
Bryan ought to know what he is talking about.

BACKING FOR CREDIT UNIONS.

Half an hour after leaving the ex-

The cost of shipping the gold to this
