THURSDAY , NOVEMBER 7 , 1907.
THE
Politicians Rebuked. Party Preju =
dices Laid Aside and Men Vote for
Their Honest Convictions.
We are not celebrating a democratic victory , al
though Rosseter , the democratic candidate for sheriff ,
and Young , the democratic candidate for assessor , are
surely elected and , as we go to press , the vote for com
missioner is between Bowring , republican , and Mone ,
democrat. In this judicial district Judges Harrington
and Westover have been re-elected by larger majorities
than they ever received before. The vote in this county
is very gratifying to THE DEMOCRAT and to the democratic
committee. During the campaign we urged the voters
to disregard party affiliations and vote their choice be
tween man and man , and , as the votes were counted , it
was evident that a great many had done this. Never be
fore in the history of the county was there less regard
for party ties.
The vote has come in so slowly that there has been
no opportunity to analyze the vote , but it shows that the
day of the political boss has passed. It shows that the
people demand good service and when they come to vote
they are going to exercise their judgment and support
the man whom they know and the man they believe will
give the best service.
Of our ticket there only two men known to be defeat
ed. Dr. Compton has been defeated for coroner by Dr.
Lewis , but Dr. Compton ran far ahead of his party vote
in the village of Valentine and in the county at large ,
and he may well feel flattered by the vote he received.
Had he really cared for the office and put his friends to
work , lie could easily have been elected.
M. F. ( Jlynes has been defeated for county judge ,
but , like Dr. Compton , he ran far ahead of his party
ticket in his own precinct , River , and also in Valentine.
In his own precinct lie received a vote of more than three
to one , and in Valentine , the home of his opponent , he
received a handsome majority. This vote proves what
we said during the campaign to be true , viz : That where
he was known the public was for him , but lie lacked the
acquaintance in the precincts on the south and west sides
of the county and those precincts defeated him. How
ever , he may well feel complimented on the splendid vote
he received.
Perhaps the greatest victory the people scored was
f ; on district judge. Four years ago this county went
' against both Judge Harrington and Judge Westover.
\ This year they have both carried it , although a bitter
j personal fight was made upon them. The returns show
& that the people of this county are awake to their own
j | interests and they are not going to retire two able fear
less judges for new untried men.
During the last days of the campaign the republican
committee put out a letter saying that the letter publish
ed in THE DEMOCRAT last week and signed by twelve citi
zens of River precinct was the work of the chairman of
the democratic committee. We had no time to answer
this , and , as the campaign is closed , it is not now neces
sary to answer it , but we want to say for the benefit of
any interested parties , that the republican committee was
in error. That letter was not the work of the democratic
committee , but the work of the men whose names were
signed to it. It was not held back by THE DEMOCRAT or
by the democratic committee , but it was published in the
first issue of THE DEMOCRAT after it was received. The
republican committee jumped at conclusions in issuing
its letter and has since found that it was barking up the
Avrong tree.
But this is the time to return thanks and not to en
gage in recriminations , and we want to thank the public
generally , and especially our republican friends , for the
support they gave our ticket.
President Roosevelt has scolded Gov. Sheldon for not
indorsing national control of corporations and railroads
instead of our present state control and regulation. He
also ordered the pilot of a river boat suspended for nine
ty days for passing his boat while sailing down the Mis
sissippi , and has ordered a prosecution of the Appeal To
Reason for unfavorable comment on his utterances in the
Moycr-Haywood cases.
lie has condemned this and that with the impetuos
ity of a child , and has taken part in ridiculous quarrels
beneath the dignity of a great president of the 'United
.States , and he has been more than a servile t'ool of the
corporations. He has cb'aehed them while Ordering4
i prosecutions. lit has pardoned principal transgressors
for giving information of transgressions , and , finally ,
through his radical , spasmodical , dictatorial proclivities ,
is twice blamed fpr the loss of millions of dollars in the
Wall Street stock exchange by shrinkage in values , almost -
: most reaehing a panic , and , while sending Secretary of
the U. 8. Treasury Cortelyou with ten millions , and
twenty-five millions of government money to deposit in
the New York banks for assistance and to avoid a finan
cial panic , declares that if his policies and course will
I bring on a panic in Wall Street , yet he will not change
i his ways.
Is it a dream ? A wild , mad dream that Roosevelt is
playing president and that he is testing the power vested
in the chief executive ? Let us awaken from our slum
bers and begin now to controvert a calamity that will
check pur progress and fasten more securely about us
the chains of servitude to corporations.
Let us organize now for the campaign of 1908 and
elect "W. J. Bryan for president of our republic.
