PRICE, $1.00 PER YEAR QUIET MAN WITH A RECORD. The representative from Bates county, Hon. Lucien Baskerville, has departed for his home. He leaves behind him on the minutes of the House a splendid record. Mr. Bask- erville desired some new laws, but like other representatives, he found early | in the session that only general laws would be considered. Those local measures received short shift. Mr. Baskerville is a quiet young chap with a desire to do good. He was an effective force throughout the session and his votes were always on the side { of the people he represented. He} quits the city having a clear, clean _ conscience and his vote shows all the‘ progressive measures received sup- port. To Mt.

Their very political existence depends apparently not upon their devotion - toa cause, but upon their ability to win; whether right or wrong, it mat- ters not. Their action last week was but the preliminary step backward and the next election will probably find them humbly bowing their heads to the yoke of the Standpatter. Progressiveism in Bates county is another lost cause,—no not lost, but ignobly deserted. Too bad! had hoped its followers were made of stern stuff. Ohio Street M. E.

Unfortunately, no newspa- per men were permitted to be pres- ent at this caucus, and the speech made by Speaker Clark on behaif of party solidarity did not get into the newspapers to any appreciable ex- tent. I have the consent of the Speaker as well as the Democratic caucus to publish such parts of the speech as I desire. Space will not permit the printing of the complete remarks of the Speaker, which is to be regretted, because the speech is a complete refutation of the intimations which have appeared in the press re- cently to the effect that Mr. Clark is unfriendly to the new administra- tion. “Since the foundation of our gov- ernment,’’ declared Mr. Clark, ‘‘no party ever had a fairer prospect of a long lease of power ora better chance of promoting the welfare and pros- perity of the country than the Dem- ocratic party has. What will we do with our opportunity? The voters have only placed us on probation. | Can we make good? Can we vindi- |cate the vast army of voters who ‘gave us the power to conduct the | government? Undoubtedly we can. fol By keeping faith with the people. By religiously carrying out the promises by reason of which we won. By transmitting into law our pledges to improve the conditions cost of living is not worth the paper on which it is printed. “Following that we promised to strengthen the anti-trust law; to es- tablish an income tax; to revise the banking laws; to improve our water- ways, to provide for a reasonable conservation system; to create a de- partment of labor, which we have al- ready done, and to declare the na- tion’s purpose touching the Philip- pines. Itis an extensive program, but it is our duty to work it out. The only way to achieve it is for every | Democrat in official position to give the best there is in him to help re- deem our promises by subordinating individual ambition to the public weal. “That any man fit for official sta- tion will let his personal likes or dis- | likes interfere with his co-operating with any other Democrat in unifying | the party in its herculean and multi- farious tasks to redeem our pledges and thereby contributing, as I believe | to the increased prosperity and hap-' piness of the American people, is a thing incredible. ever seeing ghosts or from malignan hour Democrats are loud-mouthed in proclaiming trouble where none exists and in laying dawn a rule of conduct for real Democrats. . | - “Genuine Democrats, who have} try at heart would do well to give no heed to these self-styled Democrats who has under all circum- all places.
