"War may come; I think myself the day may not be
far distant; and when it comes we will fight it alone;
for there will be no other nation to lift a. hand to fight
for us. When that day comes, our course must be
eternally grounded on the right. War is a grim decis
ion, aiad when it comes it must come so that the people
of the world, whether they fight with us or not, can at
least respect our conduct and our position, and, above
all, it must come under circumstances which will make
us respect ourselves." SENATOR WOLCOTT.
THE PRIMARIES.
Tomorrow the republican pri
maries will be held. While the
contest of candidates for local of
j fices will not figure in the elec
I tion of delegates to as great an
I extent as formerly, the general
and deep interest in the impend
i iug struggle is certain to call out
! a full vote tomorrow.
To remind men of their duties
as citizens is a aeiimic tasin., iui
the monitor is ?.pt to be regarded
as a presuming and officious
meddler. Still" one can hardly
deny that the right to participate
ia the primaries implies a duty
to do so, and it is not improper
at this time to urge upon all
good citizens whose political be
lief will allow them to affiliate
with and support the republican
party, the importance of taking
part in the primaries. It is un
necessary to argue about this im
portance. No one will dispute it.
The republican convention, it
is expected, will be composed ol
men whose first thought is the
snreess, or the oartv. A large
vote tomorrow means the reali
zation of this expectation.
A POET CANDIDATE.
Will R- King, the fusion nom
inee for governor, and Robt. M.
Veatch, the candidate for con
gressman from this district, were
once agricultural college stu
dents. The fact that these two
men, who studied political econ
omy under President Arnold, are
now running: for office on a tree

lege in the early eighties. He
was a student of considerable
force and application, but then
had peculiar ideas regarding the
unlimited power of law to create.

public that the fusion' candidate
for governor once resorted to
rhyme writing,

is too strong to

Who sometimes told a lie."
The fact that such a discovery
seemed startling enough to Mr.
King to be commemorated in
verse, speaks volumes for his
earlv faith in the generel verac-
ity of mankind. His later polit-
cal experience has perhaps made
him more cynical.
Mr. King is not running for
governor upon his reputation as
a poet, and this gem from the
romantic period of his life may
be out of place at this time, but
