The Similarity in Washington
and Richardson County
Politics.
The struggle of the President
to get a railroad rate bill through
congress is a severe one. Every
body anticipated that the fight
would be bitter and the event
always in doubt. It was expect
ed that the mighty railroad lobby ,
mighty in a certain character of
ability , influence and wealth ,
would exhaust' every resource to
defeat the desire of President
Roosevelt and the demands of the
people. All expectations have
been realized. The railroad lobby
has combined its forces with the
mine owner's lobby from Arizona
that is determined to defeat the
joint statehood bill of Arizona and
New Mexico. In addition to this
strong organization the sugar
and tobacco trusts , that desired
the defeat of the Phillipine tariff
bill , have put in their oar. Alto
gether the President is in for the
fight of his life and the outcome
is anxiously awaited by those
who desire a government for the
people instead of a government
for special interests.
# *

It is said that Washington is
now the seat of the most power
ful lobbies in thcnation'shistory.
Lawyers , whose services demand
a thousand dollars a day , men
who are known to have influence
with senators and the thousand
and one retainers who can con
tribute to the success of the rail
road and mine owner's fight are
iiaking their homes in Washing
ton this winter. There is no
secret concerning it , these inter
ests are brazen and audacious ,
more so than ever before. The
Review of Reviews , one of the
most reliable and conservative
magazines published , in speaking
recently of the lobb } ' to defeat
the joint statehood bill said : "It
y be said with some caution ,
but with probable truth , that at
no time for twenty years past
liave lobb- interests been so pow
erful and at the same time so
insidious at Washington as in
the present legislative season.
The great corporations propose
to thwart the President's plans
for the more effective regulation
of railways. For various reasons ,
they propose to obstruct the
Government's policy in the matter
ol the Panama canal. They are
bent upon preventing the passage
of the statehood bill that would
unite New Mexico and Arizona
and admit them as a single state.
This latter opposition comes
from the mining and railroad
companies of Arizona. These
Arizona mining companies own
property worth hundreds of
millions of dollars upon which
they pay no taxes at all. They
seem to be able to control Arizona
for their own ends. But if Ariz
ona were united with New Mexico
they would be in danger of losing
control , and might be subjected
to something like reasonable tax
ation. They can array immense
influences in roundabout and un
suspected ways and the } ' can af
ford to spend a fabulous sum of
moncv to defeat the pending
statehood bill. It is to be feared
that there have been attempts to
influence members of congress in
this situation by the gifts of
mining stocks and like improper
methods. "
* *
With this condition so well
known , with congressmen the
constant familiars of men repres
enting these vast interests , being
dined by them , running down to
New York in their company , etc. ,
it was not surprising that when
the Phillipine tariff bill came up
insurgents in both parties were
developed. Congressman Babcock -
cock , who was the chairman of
the national republican congres-
sibnal committee and who , by
reason such position , had assisted
in the election of many membersi
' ! came out as the leader of the
'
| opposition to the Piesident , and I
the strength developed by him
was astounding. So strong was
the opposition that the statehood 1
bill has been kept in committee
for more than two weeks beyond
its time because the President
and Speaker Cannon were fearful
of defeat if it were reported now.
The Phillipine tariff bill passed
with the assistance of democratic
votes , without which it would
lave been defeated. Congrcss-
ncn Norris and Kinkaid of Neb
raska , voted against the adminis-
ration and with the lobby.
What the result of the statehood
)5ll will be will soon be detcr-
nined , possibly before this is in
mnt. But the fight is on and
he people are watching it care-
ully.

To those who have watched
events the present contest docs
lot corneas a surprise. But the
vriter has often wondered what
xcuse , or what reason if you
> refer that word , the recalitrant
ongressmen would give for their
jetrayal to the people. What
eason do you suppose they give ?
Nothing more nor less than tie }
vord we are so familiar with in
Richardson county , that is ,
JOSSISM. The President has
) ecome a political boss and is
isurping our rights and'preroga -
ives , they say. \Ve are free
ncn , we insist on our liberty , say
' and off hcad-
hcj' run to lobby -
juarters to be patted on the back.
LMie President called Reprcsenta-
ive Miner , of Wisconsin to the
white house to remonstrate with
lim upon his course. Miner im-
nediately gave out an interview
.n which he said that he did not
enow that Roosevelt had been
elected to congress from his dis
trict , that he as the congressman
was a free man and would not
stand for a political boss. Oh.
ibcrty , what crimes have been
committed in thy name ! The
President is not a boss , he bc-
ieves in his country and its people
ple , lie is struggling for legis-
ation in their interest and is
Ighting a powerful lobby. In
such a contest there must be
organization , a head , a leader.
The President has taken this
> lacc. Those whose conduct will
lot bear inspection nor investiga
tion ; those who arc contesting
in f.ivor of legislation adverse to
the people , try to explain their
conduct and to throw the blame
upon him who is today the pee
ple's champion , by calling him a
boss. The1 devil can quote scrip
ture to prove his ends and the
corrupt politician can succeed in
hiding his own shame with some
by tilking advantage of the pres
ent agitation against the boss
and saying his conduct is the '
result of his own purity and. his
abhorence of a boss.

The election held in Richard
son county last fall is probably
far enough removed to permit of
a proper perspective. Before the
convention at Stella there up-
peared as candidates some of f
the best men in the county.
The ticket nominated was as
strong , as clean , as able as any
ticket ever nominated in the
county. Those who attended
that coiiveiitian can vouch for
the statement lhaleveo delegate
cast his ballot without interfer
ence or pressure of any kind.
The ticket nominated represented I
the free and untratnmeled choice
of Richardson county republicans.
No sooner had the convention
adjourned than the old crowd of
bolters that had not voted a re
publican < iclet in four years , set
up a how. of bossism. At the
dictation of certain democrats
whom the- have served long and 1
faithfully , they began an organ
ized effort to defeat the ticket
They worked with the chairman
of the democratic committee dur
ing the entire campaign , and ,
some of them at least , received
the returns with Clay Davis , K < 1
Falloon and other prominent t
democrats at democratic head
quarters the night of election ,

the defeat of the republican tick t t
the extract being ajterwardspub
lished in the Falls City News
Then after the result was achiev
ed , because of their elTorts , they
attributed the defeat to bosses ,
thereby attempting to hide their
responsibility and la ) ' the blame
upon those who always support
their party , not alone by their
votes , but by their efforts in
season and out.
*
* *
The truth of the matter is that
Richardson county has no boss.
There arc men who would like to
lie bosses , but because of their
continued party treachery the
party will have none of them ,
consequently there is the usual
bolt. It is a rule or ruin policy.
The statement has been made by
one of them to the effect that
they will continue to defeat the
party until they arc permitted to
dictate its policy. There was no
bosses in the Stella convention ,
nor did an ) ' one attempt to dic
tate the nominations. The second
end ward of Kails City voted
unanimously for but one candi
date and that was Mr. Tanner ,
the reason for that being that
Mr. Tanner lived in that ward.
On every other office the ward
divided its vote. Yet the second
ward is the home of those men
whom the bolting element call
the bosses. If to be a boss means
to vote the republican ticket and
not the democratic ticket , then
there are bosses in Richardson
county. If to be a boss means to
contribute time and money to the
organization , then there are
bosses in Richardson county. If
to be a boss means to drive the
county by day and night , leaving
one's business and making a sac
rifice in money and comfort that
the party may succeed , then
there arc bossses in Richardson
county. If to be a boss means to
go to school houses and preach
the gospel of the party while
other men claiming to be republi
cans remain at home to criticise
and to lend aid and comfort to
the opposition , then there are
bosses in Richardson county. Tf
such be the conduct of a boss
there is at least one element in
Richardson county politics that
will never be accused of bossism.
* *
There were a few timid souls in
the county who we're deceived by
the cry of bossism. The News ,
j that at times has not a very
.strong . sense of humor , took up
the cry and wrote columns con-
'cerning ' it ; the democratic candidates -
, dates whose nominations were
'agreed ' upon by Miles , Morchcad
{ and Davis , long before the dcmo-
jcratic convention met , talked it
along the higliwavs and byways
of the county ; the bolting ele
ment of the republican party
added to the cry at any and all
times , and defeat was the portion
of men who were entitled to more
'consideration ' at the hands of the
'party. ' To those candidates who
were defeated before the Stella
I convention the opposition sung a
J siren's song to the effect that
thev could have been nominated
if the republican leaders would
done just a little dictating.
r'To ' the public at large the state
ment was made that the nomina
tions were dictated by bosses. So
it went , from one element they
sought support by'saying the
boss wouldn't boss , from another
clement they sought support .vith
the statement that the bosses
did boss. It was anything to
"beat Grant. "
