The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1916-05-03

III looks like certainty that the
name Of Woodrow Wilson will
be the only one seriously put
forth as n candidate for presi-
dent when the Democrats meet in ma
tional convention in St Louis on
June IA.
Incorporated in the call for the con-
vention issued by William F. Nc
Combs, chairman Of the Democratic
national committee. is the plank in the
Democratic party's platform which
was adopted at Baltimore providing
for an expression of preference for
presidential candidates and the selec-
ton of all delegates and alternates at
primaries to be conducted by the party
In such states as do not provide for
these primaries by law.
Under this call there will be loss
delegates in the convention. Mr.. Nc
Combs is ex officio chairman of a COM
mittee on arrangements which is COM
posed of members of the national COM
mittee.
There will be very few federal Office
holders in the Democratic convention.
This departure from the established
practice of n president seeking a re-
nomination is in accordance with the
wishes of Mr.. Wilson himself.
In the coming convention there Will
be not half dozen men who hold fed
eral Offices. One of the considerations
that actuated the president in declar-
ing he would not seek a denomination
was his determination to keep mem
bers of his cabinet and men he had ap-
pointed to office from active participa-
ton in the nominating convention
The New York organization wanted
to send as a delegate at large Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo, who Is
also a son-tn-law of the president. The
president discouraged this proposition.
Speaker Clark has declined to be a
delegate at large from Missouri, as has
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Dockery. who halls from the same
state. Other federal ofIiceholders also
have declined the honor. The North
Carolina Democrats wanted to send
Secretary Daniels. but he has an
nounced he will not accept. Postmas-
fer General Bureson was also slated
ms a delegate from Texas. but he will
not go.
In furtherance of the presidents
wish. members of the Democratic ma
tional committee have conferred with
the leaders of their states, with the re-
suit that only men who do not hold
office under the administration will be
sent 10 St Louis. A number OF sena-
tors and representatives will, Of course,
figure prominently in the proceedings
at ST Louis. but they are not to be re-
parded as members of the administra-
tion as senators are elected directly
by the people.
!. with the denomination Of President
ySyuson assured 1t is agreed that the
convention will be Of short duration.
II is unlikely that there will be con-
tests of any kind. Harmony Will be
the keynote Of the convention

Combs has this to say:

One week from yesterday has
been designated as Thanksgiv-
ing and it will behoove every
body to get busy right away and
try to figure out what they have
to be thankful for. To be sure.
the farmer can give thanks that
he raised a bumper crop of
wheat and that it is now bring
ing the highest price within the
memory Of most men; the labor
ing man can be thankful that he
has employment at extra high
wages, and the merchant can re-
joice that his business never
was better and that collections
are coming in rapidly day by
day; the politician can be thank
full that the days of anxiety are
over, and we of Montana can
congratulate ourselves on the
fact that we have chosen the
first lady representative in con-
gress and that after two years
from the coming new year we
will have a state as dry as the
Utah desert. The printer is
truly thankful that the cost of
living is no higher and that the
price of printing is no less, and
that occasionally some millionaire
laborer, farmer or business man
drops in and pays a bill amount
ing to enough to buy a loaf of
bread or a small plain steak. We
have a lot to be thankful for,
but the main thing is that it is
no worse.

: Partisan Politics
From the Missoulian

4Olll Vic ANlooONu0u
The last election demonstrated con-
clusively that the line Of demarcation
between Republicans and Democrats
is rapidly being effaced and it would
seem that if this merging continues
the political campaigns Of the future
will be conducted more and more with
out regard to politics and with greater
consideration for the men themselves.
The independent voter has clearly
shown that he is the balance of power
and that his political affiliations are
such that they can easily be broken
Nowadays it causes hardly a feeling
of regret for a man to bre;.A away
from the party of his choice and vote
for the former opposition because he
believes in the man and is convinced
that the party is no longer bigger
than the man at the head of our gov
eminent.
This trend toward extreme loose
ness of political ties is much more
marked in the city, county and state
governments than it is nationally.
There still remain a very few funda-
mental differences of policies between
the two old line parties. From the
standpoint of administration for state,
county and city, however, politics can
and should be eliminated and the
question of the fitness of the men
should predominant.
The State of Washington is now
circulating petitions asking the next
legislature to take some action look
ing toward the abolition of party
labels in all elections except those
conducted nationally. Montana should
take some cognizance of the popular
sentiment in this regard. Partisan
appeals have no longer the force they
once had. The voter wants to cast
his ballot for men and he recognizes
the fact that politics merely clutter
up the scenery as far as election in
state county and city are concerned.
We all remember when candidate
for the state legislature from Mis-
soula county promised that he would
do his best, if elected, to see that the
reciprocity act was repealed. There
was a time when some Of the voters

no worse.

An advance of 20 per cent in
the price of tailored clothing is
said to be scheduled for Deem
Der LIST. Staple groceries are
also sliding up week by week
and among those slated to ad-
vance again on the first of the
month are corn, tomatoes, peas,
rice, dried and canned fruits,
salmon, lard, and many other
articles. In fact everything
that a household requires is
steadily advancing and many
The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1916-11-24
are wondering if the top price
will ever be reached.

The manufacturing and job
bling interests Of the country are
not overlooking the fact that
the farmers of the northwest
raised a bumper wheat crop this
year, nor have they lost sight of
the fact that wheat is selling at
around 50 per bushel. The pro-
fits are gradually drifting into
the pockets of the former.
The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1916-11-24

Isn't it queer that the persons
with the best jobs and the high
est. salaries always consider
themselves underpaid and over
worked? Can it be possible that
they overestimate themselves
and underestimate their less for
tunate co-workers?

The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1916-11-24

seemed to think state legislatures had
some intangible connection with ma
tional legislation and that it was
necessary to divide along party lines
as regards state government. Such
is not the case today, since the cleo
ton of United States senators by
