Aside from Mr. t Slayton's explapatioen, which, roslly did not explain anythiplg, he showed poor Judgment when he cast his vote for a democrat. As President Taft said recently, our goV ernment is one of parties, and when a man elected as d straight relub lican feels at liberty to vote tor a democrat for United States senator he f is striking at tha foundation of thingp, i1 To make thu matter clear, take the' case of Mr. Asbridge. He waks *leed ap a. democrat. yet lW ,wauid sl e lust as much justified In votint for .CGetet c as alaytl i was, In votinl' for Norris. v Very likely Mr. Slayton disc not fully ii realise the, ~lp aragg.f 'his act at the time. Its w's really a violation of ,ohe of thep tundaanental prittciples ef. political ethics. In Itself it amounted a to nothing. but. Mr. Slaytoit. ha no mere freedom of sotion in gqing' out side of his party in such matters thin has every other wmember of the 'lgisla- t ture. If Mr. Slayton's idea is the cor rect one, .then it would be perfectly proper to elect Mr. Carter senator or for the republicans to step in and elect Mr Conrad or .Con ICelley or even W. A. Clark. The News does ;not btlieve in this sort of looseness, and in' thils ebmmeht I It has no feeling whatovei agasitht r Norris. It has frequenty ;pat*ed itmu and hopes and expects to Wave occa slon to do the same thing tgailp. , t Mr. Slayton, fortunately, is . man of the highest integrity and is In all things above suspicion, yet he evi dently has something to learn about party loyalty and the binding effect of an implied pledge. He has already been condemned, and by the demooratip press, in the sever est terms. The News does not think this is called for, but it does believe that Mr. Slaytoh made a grave mistake In taking the course last Friday that 1 he did.
