The republican candidate for United
States sena'toY jn' the recent Oregon
. election was a gentleman named Cako
' but his namo is Dough now. Cako
was too aristocratic to suit the corncake
voters.
' Governor Sheldon says ho longs to
return to his farm. Well, ho won't
have to wait long. The democrats will
x elect another fellow in the fall to suc
ceed him, and Ihen he will be at liberty
to go homo and husk his corn in his
. law office.
The republicans are trying to mako
political capital out of the fact that the
democratic national committee contrib
uted a few thousands to the democratic
campaign in this state in 1904. Shade

U. S. Senators Brown and Burkett
are scrapping over which shall bo called
to second Taft'a.ripminntion, on behalf
of Nebraska, at Chicago next week.
Whichever1 one secures the honor is
quitcTlikely to find himself ashamed of
it after the ides November.
Judge CoNNOH(xowncr of tho O'Keefe
ranch near Hemtagford, was defeated
for re-nomination to congress in the re
publican primary election in Iowa last
week. The judge may bo able to con
sole himself with the reflection that he
would not feel happy in a democratic
congress anyhow.
At a state meeting of the anti-ljquor
league held at Hastings last, week, Rev.
S. Z. Batten of Lincoln denounced the
, .SlocumU lawv.and declared that '''high
license "laws" are the most iniquitous
ever vomited from (he pit of hell.'1 Is
tho Rev. Batten trying to rival "Rev."
. Billy Sunday in the use of intemperate
language? Rev, Batten better stuff his
mouth with cotton batten, else his hear
ers will fill their cars with that article.
The prospects for democratic suc
cess aro brighter now than they have
been at any time since Grover Cleve
land attempted to assassinate the dem
ocratic party. The. times are ripe for
a change. Republican policies have
brought distress and ruin to thousands
of people. The workingman can not
he bambpozled, this year with fables
about tho full dinner pail. Tho square
deal no longer means a square meal for
everybody. Tho enemies of democracy
are divided and discouraged, while we
are tinited and confidcut. With proper
effort, success is sure. All that is nec
essary to achieve a brilliant victory is
good .organization',' intelligent leaders,
and work nvorkivork. The rank and
file of the party is lull of faith. But it
i3 well to remember that "faith without
works is dead." Wo once knew a pious
old darkey wlib prayed fervently for
several nights that the Lord would send
him a chicken for his Sunday dinner.
Sunday came, but no chicken. Sambo
then prayed that tho Lord would send
him after a chicken. He got it. He
also got thirty days. hut that's another
story.
Primary election Maws sometimes
bring unexpected -results. In Iowa
the "stand-pal republicans carried the
state for Senator Allison by 10,000 ma
jority and at the same time lost nearly
all their congressional nominees to the
"progressive" republicans. In Oregon
a still more peculiar anomaly was the
result of the primary held in that state
last weak. The republicans secured an
overwhelming majority in the legisla
ture, and yet, under the provisions of
the Oregon primary law, they lose a
United States senator because the dem
ocratic candidate received more votes
than his republican opponeut. This
result certainly proves that primary
laws promote independent voting, and
-it also seems to indicate that such laws
. , may eventually cause trua disintegration
of all political parties and the nomina
tion and election of men to office with
out any regard whatever being paid to
'- their partisan affiliations. Whether
eyuch a 'result is'esirable is as yet a de
batable question, but the tendency of
the state-wide qpeq primary is certainly
in that direction. "

FerlinpB It was because this haB
been n fighting and n singularly HI
tempered congress that It closed its
first session with a hurst of hilarity
and nonpartisan good fellowship such
as has never before been witnessed in
the house of representatives. There
were songs, processions, wild dances
on the part of distinguished Btatcsmcn,
general eulogy of Speaker Cannon
even from that side of the chamber
which has been denouncing him as nn
autocrnt as, of course, ho Is songs
by members of tho press gallery and
songs in return from the lloor directed
toward tho prcso gnllcry. One Incident
unparalleled In the history of congress
wob what might bo called n battlo of
tho pictures. A big photograph of tho
speaker attached to a broom was
horno Into tho hall at the head of a
procession of members of both politi
cal faiths, who joined in singing verses
In his eulogy. Thereupon a militant
Democrat, Ilollln of Alabama, looking
upon Uncle .Too as a receptive presi
dential candidate, discovered a por
trait of Mr. Bryan In the Democratic
cloakroom, attached it to a broom ami,
at the head of a procession of Demo
crats, brought It Into tho chamber. A
struggle ensued between the two fac
tions, each striving to hold tho por
trait of its champion the hlgLcr. It
wns settled finally by a Republican
tossing the Cannon picture Into tho
press gallery, whence it wns proudly
displayed. The Democrats tried to do
tho same thing with the Bryan picture,
hut missed their aim, and it fell to the
speaker's desk, nnrrowly missing his
head. As It was heavily framed it
might have led to a serious accident.
The scene must have been a curious
one to people not familiar with tho fa
cility with which nn American legisla
tive body can turn from serious busi
ness to horseplay and back again.
jsvery nvo or ten minutes a messenger
from the senate would nppear In the
center aisle to announce the passage of
a hill, and at the tap of the speaker's
gavel perfect order would bo restored,
only to have pandemonium break out
again tho moment tho business wob
ended. Tho speaker scorned 'to- enjoy
it as much as any. one, hut asked the
press associations to scud out little
concerning It, because, as he put it,
"tho boys on the floor and tho boys In
the press gallery understand this Bort
of thing, but there is the diplomatic
gallery crowded with representatives
of forelgu legations, and whut they
must thluk of this sort of frolic stumps
me."
The Last Hours of the Senate.
There was less good humor and more
dignity In the senate as Us session
drew to a close. Tho attempt of Sena
tor La Folletto to defeat the currency
bill by talklug It to death left 11 good
deal of bitterness at that end of tho
capltol. It waB a gallant Dght that the
Republican Insurgent uiiidc, and I urn
inclined to apprehend that some west
ern aud southwestern Democratic sen
ators are likely to suffer among their
constituents for leaving him to make
it almost unaided. Beginning at 12:30
p. in., ho talked continuously until uft
cr 7 o'clock tho next morning, breaking
thereby tho record for long distance
oratory. There havo been other fili
busters who occupied the floor for a
longer space of time, but that was by
aid of the device of sending loug docu
ments to the clerk's desk to be read,
during which time the speaker had nn
opportunity to rest It was In this
way that Senator Tom Carter tulked
the river and harbor bill out of exist
ence and Senator Cannack In a later
congress, slaughtered tho ship subsidy
bill. I Jut this year a rule was brought
In prohibiting this practice, and all quo
tations which La Follettc desired added
to his speech had to bo read by him.
The fact that he has been for nearly
two months a sick man made his per
formance all the more extraordinary.
Ills only nld came from Senator Stone
of Missouri and from Senator Gore of
Oklahoma. The latter's speech was In
no sense a filibustering device, though,
delivered at tho time It was, It aided
the effort to talk down the currency
bill. It was, In fact, one of the ablest
speeches delivered In the senate this
session, touching upon all present day
Issues of Democracy, and will make
one of the best campaign documents
the Democratic national committee can
circulate.
It Is not probablo that even had the
Democrats as n whole Joined La Toi
lette, Stone aud Gore the bill could
have been beaten. A filibuster can
only bo completely successful when the
day of adjournment Is arbitrarily fixed,
ns In the case of the short sessions of
congress. There was absolutely noth
ing to prevent this congress sitting
until next December unless it were
the anxiety of senators to get to tho
Chicago convention, But a hard fight
might have compelled the amendment
of a radically vicious bill and perhaps
the concession by tho Republicans of
the publicity bill, unoq" jv.blclj t,he
Democrats are a unit. ' ',
There wus a certain pathos In tho In
cident that terminated the filibuster.
Senator Gore Is blind. It had been ar
ranged that when he ended his speech
CONGRESS
Senator Stone should tako up the
flght-'once mora. Tho Missouri s'enajon
liad stepped out of the chariibci; for n
few inomoi&s, and Senator Gore, not
being warned and being, of course, un
able to detect his absence, brought his
iftmatks to nn end. Tho Instant ho
pat down Aldrlch sprang tp his feet,
secured the floor and demanded' that
voting begin.
Some Possible Political Effects.
The day nfter La Follette's defeat
in this fight Washington was buzzing
with speculation as to -whether the bit
terness which ho manifested would
not result in his openly abandoning tho
Republican party. This I do not be
lieve, although I agree wltli the very
generally expressed opinion that tho
treatment of the Wisconsin senator by
tho other Republicans In the sennto und
by tho vice president will go u long
way toward making Wisconsin n doubt
ful state this year. As 11 presiding
officer Mr. Fnirbanks adopted tactics
that w'ould make the late Tom Reed
and the present Joe Cannon wonder at
their own moderation. The only sen
ator on tho lloor whom he seemed able
to see was Aldrlch, and ho responded
to the arguments and even to tho ges
tures of that somewhat notorious legis
lative agent of the trusts, monopolies
and plutocratic forces with n docility
that was amazing. He Invented prec
edents nnd shattered old ones. Per
haps tho senate never saw one of its
members so thoroughly Incensed as
was Senator Ileyburn of Idaho at the
cavalier fashion In which ho was treat
ed. Tho remark was current that if
Falrbunks should bo renominated for
vice president he would need to look
out for tho Idaho vote.
Th Chicago Contests.
Secretary Dover of the Republican
national committee reports that there
are more than 1200 contested seats for
the Chlcugo convention. It Is 'o bo
kept in mind thut primarily these con
tests uro to be settled by the preseut
national committee, which Is notori
ously hostile to Tuft. This committee
will make up the preliminary roll of
the convention, and these "00 seats
may give the Uutl-Taft people control
of its organization. In pussing upon
credentials politicians are peculiarly
cold blooded. Questions of justice sel
dom enter into consideration. AH the
hopes of the anti-Tuft people center
upon these 200 Beuts. For my own
part, il do not believe that Taft cin
now be beaten, nnd I am decidedly in
clined to the opinion that the man
who should beat him would havo u
soiTowful time in the campaign unless
that man should be Roosevelt himself,
and through a specially favored White
IIouho correspondent the president has
put out another announcement of bis
purpose not to run.
Democratlo Progress. -,.
The result of tho Texns, New nabn
shire, West Virginia, New Mexico and
Arizona conventions added slty-twV'
instructed delegates to the Bryan col
umn and eight delegates from New
Hampshire who are not instructed, but
who arc all avowed advocates of tho
nomination of tho Nebraskan. The
name of no other candldute was men
tioned in auy of these conventions.
This gives Mr. Bryan C53 absolutely
Instructed votes. Furthermore, out of
the fourteen votes of Connecticut at
least six are for him. In Florida there
has been some misunderstanding not
readily explainable at this distance.
The vote in that state is by direct pri
maries and not by a convention, and
it wns supposed that the delegates. had
been chosen and all were for Bryan.
But It appears that owlug to some In
formality or Irregularity In the proce
dure new primaries must be held In
six districts. There Is no expectation,
however, that the reported result will
bo changed. Seven out of the eight
Rhode Island votes aro his and twelve
votes from Maine. In brief, the friends
of Mr. Bryan may rely today upon 590
votes to Denver, much more than a
majority, enabling, even should there
bo unexpected reverses later, the Bry
an men to organize the convention.
But there Is no reason to anticipate
reverses. Tho dally report of tho ac
tion of country conventions Indlcato
th-.it there will bo Uttlo serious hostili
ty to him In the convention of the Old
Dominion. For some time there was a
rather general opinion that Louisiana
might send an anti-Bryan delegation,
but Congressman Favrot, who returned
to that state recently, said that word
had come to him that not only" would
the delegation be favorable, but that
It would be easy to secure instructions.
Congressman Pujo, who has not been
favorable to Mr. Bryan, only the other
day gave up the fight nnd conceded his
stute. It has been an interesting fea
ture of the discussion, particularly hero
In Washington, that so many of tho
"leaders" have been somewhat op
posed to this nomination, but that all
coucede that It is demanded by their
constituents. ,
The Rival Candidates.
There has been no change in the ex
tent of the support of either Judge
Grny or Governor Johnson. Judgo
Gray's frleuds uro muklng n canvass
for him which somewhat re&emble3
his own character, calm, dignified nnd
honorable. Governor Johnson is iu
danger of suffering from the misdirect
ed zeal of his spokesmen. For exam
ple, the proclamation put forth from
his headquarters In Chicago that the
plan of the men who are leading Bry
au delegations to Denver wns to nomi
nate him there and defeat him at tho
polls in order to be permanently rid of
him does not come with good grace
from a supposedly Democratic source,
Every Democrat of lawful age has rr
right to aspire to a presidential nomi
nation, but It is one thing to make a
-cnnroBs for a candidate aud another to
devote all your political energies to
the effort to destroy another candi
date. ' ,

says it is to be platted and town lots put

that new railroads and business blocks will

The Republican National Convention
will bo held in Chicago next week. The
republican national executive committee
is already on the ground and is making
Taft delegates as fast as the contest
machine can be worked. There were
over a hundred contests from the south,
most of them brought by the opponents
of Taft, and up to tho present writing
all that have been disposed of haye been
decided in favor of the secretary. Mr.
Talt or rather,-Theodore Roosevelt,
the Prince Tallyrand of American poli
tics has a grapevine twist on the com
mittee, and every time Teddy swings
Jiis big stick," down goes a bunch of
anti-Taft coons. Consternation has
seized the allied opposition and they
are making all sorts of threats to bolt
the committee and take their grievances
on to the floor of the convention. But
they will do nothing of the kind, for
they would find less mercy there than
the committee has shown them. They
are whipped, and their howls are sim
ply an evidence that they realize it.
Though a democratic paper, The Her
ald cannot but express admiration for
Roosevelt's brave flight, in behalf of
his friend, against the most powerful
elements of his own party aud against
the majority of his party, who did not
want Taft forced upon them. As a
partisan 01 uryan s, we are ot course
pleased with the president's action, for
it makes Bryan's calling and election
sure.
