We are for the nominee of the Chicago Convention. The delegates there know better who to nominate than we do.

This is a time to teach contentment-, not discontent.

This is a good time for moderation and sincerity and unselfishness to control in politics.

Let everybody keep in mind that no man is greater than his party, and no party is as great as our government.

We can not imagine an organization without rules and regulations that are binding. Political parties must have rules or there would be no party. If there is nothing binding in a party, chaos and confusion will prevail.

We are for the constitution "established by our patriotic ancestors and defended by our forefathers. It is the grandest guarantee of liberty ever evolved from the brain of mortals.

In this day of wonderful and unexpected political "flip-flops'' public men will have to be guarded in their complimentary reference to each other. Taft, Root and Roosevelt are cited as examples. The nice things they have said of each, other rise up constantly in the present fight to reproach them.

The citizen who is dissatisfied with the beneficent conditions existing in the United States, should try living awhile under conditions of other countries. This country while not perfect, is as good as, its people make it, and for us and to us it is the best on earth. We have no desire to exchange our allegiance from this to any other coun7 try. It is a shame that American citizens, enjoying the great privileges guaranteed to them by the United States Government, are so. ready and free to complain of'her..

Every Republican who is proud of the record of his party will, regret to see the evidences of a split in the organization. These are peculiar 'political times. Party lines are not as strong as formerly. The masses of the people are more exacting now in their demands, and it is more difficult to please them than ever before. Great corporate interests never were more active in politics. Political leaders never more selfish. Demagogues never more demonstrative, and dishonest manipulators and bosses never more bold and persistent. That a crisis in the political history of the United States is imminent can not be doubted. A desire to throw off and discard the old and supplant it with the new prevails. What a revolution of our political system will produce is difficult to conjecture.

The chances of Democratic success increases with every mistake made by the Republicans in the national convention at Chicago, not that the Democrats are stronger before the people, but because of the conflict between selfish Republican leaders. Democratic mistakes have always led to subsequent victories in the past, but divided as the Republican party now is, and probably will be so long as present factional leaders control, it will no.t' be in position to take advantage of opportunities. It looks like a chance for many years of Democratic control. That party will have nothing new in its platform. Its main plea for success will be tariff for revenue only. Tariff for revenue will give business and financial depression in the future as in the past.
