Senator Cummins takes oppo sition to the new party move and says that personal disappoint ment, however keen, and individual- dishonesty do not furnish a proper foundation for a new party. So he will stay with the republican party even though he did not approve of Presideut Taft's renomination. It is noteworthy that almost without exception the other men who were big progressive leaders at Chicago take the same view. La Follette does. So do Borah, Hadley, Osborn and Poindexter. Very likely this feeling by the progressive seuators and govern ors is due in part at least to the colonel's attitude of "Me or nothing." The republicnn con vention would have been glad to have named a progressive candi date if it could have secured anyone but the colonel. The nomination was ottiered to Had ley but he did not dare take it in view of the declaration from the Roosevelt headquarters that if the convention named a pro gressive he had to be from Oyster Bay and no other place. Roosevelt's attitude in thi'b connection was entirely differeut from that of Bryan at Baltimore. Bryan saw he could not be named himself and he did the next best thing by forcing the nomination of a thoroughgoing progressive, in the person of Governor Wilson. In Bryan we have the spectacle of a man who effaced himself to advance the progressive cause. In the colonel, if he persists in running on a third party ticket, we will have the spectacle of a man who in sists on getting into the race himself even if to do so he must divide the progressive vote in the general election. In the eyes of the progressives Bryan stands in far better light than Roosevelt. It is easy to see why he is more popular than Roosevelt with his generals. There are drawbacks to the game when one man must always be it. East Oregon ian. Seeking Office Comes High. It costs a pot of money to run for office now-a-days, with two campaigns to make. It is esti mated that no less than a million dollars was spent for Taft and Roosevelt together in the pri mary campaign. Vast sums were also spent in behalf of the demo cratic candidates. La Follette got off the cheapest of all, with an expense bill of only $60,000. A man must either be rich or have rich friends to run for president, and if he is elected it goes without saying that his rich friends will have some influence at the White House. Nor can a man be a piker and run for Congress, either. Senator Steph enson spent $100,000 in his Wis consin campaign; and was able to show the senate that he had spout it legitimately, too. A popular Maryland senator whom everybody wanted re-elected and who had practically no opposi tion spent $18,000, so expensive were the requirements of the nomination. Forty members of the lower house have declared that they will make no effort to return to Congress, so costly is the process of reaching its port als. All of this shows that the direct primary is not an unmixed blessing, although one that the modern voter will never consent to do without. One of its tend encies is to deprive the public of the able man of moderate means who finds that lie cannot afford to run for office on his own hook, and who hesitates to place himself under obligations to his wealthier friends Weston Leader. According to press reports many republican leaders, now that Woodrow Wilson has been nominated, do not favor a third party movement and are pre paring to support the democratic candidate. However, Ex-president Roosevelt is not one of that number. He wants another trial; his ambitiou has not yet' been satisfied. Perhaps he thinks that he has not killed President Taft sufficiently dead, politically. The way of political opponents is dubious. " ' . . ' Search lights are being used to discover the difference be tween a Republican and a Dem ocratic steam roller, and the answer is given that the latter had a reversible lever. How ever, we are inclined to think the answer incorrect as the only difference we can see is, the Democratic concern had a master in front of it. Bryan killed his chances for nomination in the Baltimore con vention by being a man who fearlessly denounced dishonesty when policy would have counseled silence; Roosevelt destroyed any chance he may have had for any election by pursuing a dishonest policy that had its beginning in the violation of the pledge he made to the people. Sheridan Sun. Votes for Women. In answer to the charge that women would be office seekers if they had the ballot, Mrs. Orlow Black, a prominent , woman of San Francisco, replied: "The women who are interest ed in civic and social work are not so much interested in politics and political leaders as they are in measures for the social, civic and moral betterment of the com munity. They are interested in things that work for the welfare of the race, for its protection and its conservation. The women do not indorse everything that is said at the lectures delivered be fore them. They think for them selves and have views of their own; they want to hear both sides of the case and that is the first and most important reason for their exhibition of interest. I think they will try to keep out of politics as much as possible at least that is the avowed inten tion of most of the women now. But there may be times when some reform they initiate or are interested in becomes a party measure. In such event they will support the measure or the men who champion it, regardless of their political party affiliations. WHAT FOR Do you Pay BIG PRICES!
