BOSTON. April 25.-Party leaders
generally were agreed in the eNpecta-

the presidential primaries in Massa-
chusetts today. Great efforts to bring
out the vote had been made. however,

sets of candidates for delegates to the
republican national convention. one of
which has declared for Theodore
Roosevelt while the other group is
unpIedged to any candidate.
There were no contests in the demo-

democratic candidates are unanimously
in favor of the denomination of Presl-

because of the small vote cast IN the
state election last fall, was not emitted

~vrc" MURDOCH IN TEARS

so spake the seraph Abdiel. faithful
found
Among the faithIess. faithful only he"
Fate dealt cruel blow to the hec-
tic champion of human liberties from
Kansas when he stood upon the stage
at the Progressive convention and
viewed the crumbling wreck of his
beloved organization and heard the
means of the 1nconsolable few who
were left to view the havoc wrought.
No wonder Victor Murdoch stretched
forth his hands TO his disappointed
associates with sstears streaming
down his face; crying at times so
hard he could hardly continue his
speech, and he practically read
George w. Perkins out of the party ;"
Murdoch doubtless felt that he had
been betrayed, outraged and aband-
oned by the leader whose allegiance
had seemed almost sanctified in its
devotion.
We are not vet quite certain what
Murdoch was crying about, but it
appears that he is more easily moved
to tears in these degenerate days
than when he headed the s'insurgent"
forces in congress few years ago
No doubt he felt like weeping on
many occasions when Speaker Can
mons ruthless gavel. cut short his
impassioned oratory. But Murdoch
was always a dissenter He never
cared to move with the crowd. That
did not make him sufficiently con-
spicuous- To attract attention one
must get away from distinguished
company into a minor group, where
there is room and opportunity for
resistance to authority and to the
rule of organization.
The real tragedy in Murdock,s
cause is that he cannot follow Colonel
Roosevelt, Mr.. Perkins and many of
the other Progressive leaders back
to the Republican party In the
excess of his zeal Victor has volun-
tarily cut himself off from the party
to which he himself owes all of the
official distinction that ever came his
way No wonder he sobbed out his
heart when he saw himself practical

son and few of the other irrecoucil-

ables left to gather up the husks of
shattered hopes and ambitions.
1t is not written that George w.
Perkins gave way to any lachrymose
emotions. Perkins really lost more
than Murdoch, for Perkins has been
the continuing meal ticket of the
whole Progressive movement. But
Perkins gathered up his check book
from which the leaves had fallen like
the foliage from the frosted vine and
began to take notice of evelopments
Not 50 with Murdoch. Standing by
the broken column of his party's
resting place, he delivered himself of
a mournful grafton upon the futility
of human purposes and sobbed until
his red orif1amme dropped to the an
gle of dispair. Victor says he never
can return to the Republican party;
he doesn't want to support Wilson
and the Wichita Eagle would go
broke supporting socialist nominee
for president. No wonder the politi-
cal orphan wept. It's a hard, cruel

Mr. Parker MS arrested and placed
under = bond of $1,000. which he
furnished, in fact, so complete was
the confidence in him by his friends
that he could easily have furnished a
much larger bond. A short time
after his arrest he left Ellsworth.
Before going he placed his affairs in
shape by assigning a building and
loan account of $1,000 TO the Central
National Bank, which held mortgage
on twenty head of horses, only six
of which have been found He also
made out statements for what was
owing him and these were found,
together with the building and loan

There were IA common school grad
