VALENTINE . DEMOCRAT

THE PRIMARY ELECTION ,
The vote in Valentine was pretty
fair for the primary Tuesday. Many
republicans voted a straight demo
cratic ticket , perhaps the first time
in their lives , and may vote for a
few democrats at the general elec
tion they say. Party lines are not
so closely drawn now , we are glad !
to note , which shows that the peo ;
ple are beginning to think more of
men and less of party. It's the men
that make the party , and likewise ,
what we want of an officer is what
he will do when in office.
We note that some ballots show-
ed only the vote on governor and
representative , those offices being
the bone of con tention ,
Valentine gave Shallenberger 82 ,
Dahlman 79 , Carr 64 , Christensen
90.
Metcalfe : 30 , Hitchcock 60.
Burkett got only 6 while the big
vote of 27 went to Birmingham.
The republicans cast 42 votes and
the democrats 162.
The papers say that Dahlman is
5000 ahead in returns available
Tuesday afternoon. Carried Omaha
by 5000 and Lancaster Co. by 200. !
It is also stated he carried Fremont ,
Grand Island and Kearney and the
World-Herald predicts his provable
nomination , though Shnllenberger
may overcome the vast lead in the
remainder of the state which will
most likely be for him and will make
it close at the best. '
Hitchcock is safely nominated.
The republicans claim Aldrich and
Whedon nominated.
It looks like Carr will be the nom-
inee for representative if he runs at
all in his own county , Key a . Paha ,
as Christensen is running very lit-
tle ahead in Cherry. Dean and
Taylor seem to be the leading ones
for the 6th congressional district ;

We ' like the primary-law , though
we hear some complaint here and
there. There may be some changes
that will be beneficial and : Jilehce t
opposition but we hope they can
be made without "sprinkling ker-
osene on the cow to kill the mites ,
and setting fire to the kerosene to
keep the cow from freezing. " The.y
say Phi Young will use different
methods from that when he doctors
cows. We knew a man at Ran
dolph , Kas. , who sprinkle his
chicken : house with kerosene''to get
the mites and seeing the mites
still agoing he vowed he'd fix em ,
and he did - with a match. Thought
the fire would go out when the oil
burned off. They used to be able
to fix things in the old fashioned
conventions but the . present pri-
mary law fixes the fixers. OVTer in
Iowa their law needs a little kero-
sena and probably a match if
there's enough material left to
build another primary , but we
think our law is alright for the
people. It is one of our privileges
to have a voice in the selection of
our candidates and it woulol l have
taken a great deal of fixing to keep
the people from voting for Gov.
Shallenberger and GK M. Hitch-
cock. "

tOUR WASHINGTON LETTER
LA WAWAAw ( Special I Correspondent ) . _ .
Thousands of republicans thru-
out , the land , and in the insurgent
districts particularly , are becom-
ing impatient at Roosevelt's ap-
parent reluctance to state exactly
where he stands on the subject of
insurgency.
The result is that Theodore
Roosevelt is not quite as popular
an ex-president as he was imme-
diately following his return from
Africa.
This is an unbiased conviction
that has been forced upon me after
having travelled from Washington
to the Pacific coast and back. I
have talked with hundreds of per-
sons of all clashes ! , and have so-
journed especially in the insurgent
districts.
Roosevelt is not unpopular. I
do not wish to convey that im-
pression. He still has a large fol-
lowing.
But many of Roosevelt's admir-
ers seem to feel the ex-president
is waiting to see which faction of
his party is the strongest instead
of making a decision on the basis
of which faction is morally right.
If Roosevelt acts quickly and
with clear-cut candor he may pre-
sent further inroads on his popu-
, larity. If he does not so act , the
movement which he is given credit
for having started will march on
without him , with LaFollette or
some other genuine progressive at
the head
, Will T. R. Aid Lodge
. , .
Word has come into the West
via the Associated Press that
Roosevelt will campaign for the
re-election of Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge of Massachusetts , who de-
clares the ultimate consumer is a
myth.
Roosevelt's admirers are gulping
hard over this in formation. They
have been educated by LaFollette
and other genuine progressives to
know Lodge as a tool of Aldrich
and the special interests.
They also have the word of no
less authority than Representative
Butler Ames , a republican insuur i
gent of Lodge's own state of Mas I
sachusetts , that the political ma-
chine of Senator Lodge "is backed
by all the large corporations" and i
is used to "advance the selfish fin-
ancial schemes of the large rail-
roads , banking and manufacturing
interests he ( Lodge ) serves in the
halls ! of congress. "
Roosevelt's great popularity ] has
been Jargety ] due to the belief of

" " " j : ' . - : - c
,
the people that he was the enemy
of such corporation servers as
Lodge. . _
Therefore all over the land the
ex-president's friends are asking :
, 'How can Roosevelt cons ientious-
ly speak for a man like Lodge ,
when he does nothing for men like
LaFollette ? "
The mere asking of this question
has , the tendency of placing
Roosevelt on the defensive. : And
it is bad for any politician , great
or small , to be on the defensive.
Taft Won't Interfere
The new railroad rate law will
not be used to keep down railroad I
rates. .
Correspondents at the summer
, capital at Beverly , Mass. , recently
'
I got this news. It means that the
!
strongest feature of the new rail-
way law is to be a dead letter un-
der the Taft administration.
The section of the law referred
to is that giving power to the in- .
terstate commerce commission , on I
complaint against an increase , to :
suspend any freight rate for eleven ,
months . pending decision as to the
justice of the rate. This section
was forced into the law by the
democrats and insurgents and was
strongly opposed by President
Taft and t / Aldrich-Cannon reg-
ulars.
Being hostile to this feature of
the new law , President'Taft will
not ase it to prevent the railroads
from increasing their rates.
