CAKE OR FULTON WHICH?
It will be well for Republicans
to study, carefully and well, the
peculiar situation now confront
ing them in the selection of a
candidate for United States Sen
ator at the April primary. The
candidacy of Gov. Chamberlain,
on the Cake platform, adds new
complications to the situation. If
the three were to race for the
June election it would certainly
add material strength to Mr. Ful
ton as both Mr. Cake and Mr.
Chamberlain are committed to
Statement No. 1, or election of a
Senator by direct vote of the peo
ple, while Mr. Fulton is on record
as opposing it. But, at the April
primary either Mr. Fulton or Mr.
Cake must step aside. We have
over into the green pastures but
were afraid to jump on account
of the barbed wire.
9th. With 30,000 Republican
majority behind Mr. Cake would
it be possible for Mr. Chamber
lain to jump sideways into the
the United States Senate by us
ing a little soft soap on weak
kneed Republicans? We think
not.
10th. Should Mr. Fulton be
nominated, the conditions would
be Entirely Reversed, thus
placing Fulton on the defensive
instead of Chamberlain which
would at least greatly reduce the
republican majority.
In view of these facts, as we
see them, we must say that, to
our minds, the safest, surest and
best thing for Republicans to do
is to vote for Mr. Cake for Uni
ted States Senator.

It should go without saying
that most of the ills from which

ourselves are chiefly responsible.
We are ignorant, careless, indif

should not be surprised when
brought to face the consequences
of our own folly.

IN PROPER RELATION.
Over a Question which should
be discussed calmly and dispass
ionately and kept within its own
limits, men will lose temper and
permit their zeal to lead them
into a maze of sophistry and
angry discussion amicu. wmcn
the real question is carried out of
its proper relation This is so
like the conduct of school boys
that we are ready to accept the
statement true, that, after all,
'man are but boys grown up. "
Why should men say that they
will not vote for nor support a
man for any office who does or
does not subscribe to a measure
which relates only to candidates
for the legislature ? Why should
candidates for county office, or
for any office whatever, other
than for the legislature, be de
nied support because they do or
do not accept statement No. 1?
Mr. Chamberlain to the con
trary notwithstanding this is not
"the paramount issue." There
are issues of greater moment and
insistency. It is time republi
cans ceased strife over this minor
question and solidify in support
of those principles and policies
which are distinctly republican.
