' Hliti cal ,.s ::re loeked , iupon by the at inorIIant a5s oi:tthing to bhe op - posed, on general Irincjil-les, but a boss is a necessity. The people without leaders occupy the positi(,on of an army without generals, pow- ( 'rfull if we-ll lead, impoltent if not. h: A well diicipline|d comfllany of n 1. soldiers or ,oliceeniel with a good 't Ilealer can scatter a mob,-) of a thous- 1l '1- liand or two unorganized nlen, hav- c I;- ing no recognized leader. i I \VWhen a pllitical I)s- is tol be ll n T ,l.wned, the first thing on the pro 'o gralrtu:ce of the downIers, is organi- ct n zation, anl, to organize, a leader is w ,c- necessary, an i it invarialylv fl.llow 6 p that the leader or h,,s who is =downed is replaced by another - boss, and the :patriots who as!isted =ee in downing loss the first, rest con tented!'-for awhile anyhow- undler the (ldominion of oss the :.: second. One loss succeeds anoth er, and that is all. A leader, is of necessity, a politician, and the popular movements, Ihaving for t their objects the downfall of sones one or more politicians generally, result in putting forward some in experienced man, whose adlminis tration of affairs, proves to be a, dismal failure, On such occasions, at the cry is for an honest man who is uncontaminatad by politics, and the fact that there are as niany dis ' honest men outside of polities as rt there are inside, is lost sight of. A Sman who is dishonest in politics, would Ie dishonest anyhow. ct. As long as there is such a thing as politics, there will be leaders or bosses, and the fact may as well nd he accepted. The man who can be led away by the cry of "bos" is weak and unstable, and shiows ec- by that very act, that he requires - a boss and a leader. The great majority of men need a leader. nd Only a comparatively few men are Žly fit for leadership, and in any un dertaking, no success is possible, a without a leader. The antagonism tea to politicians is foolish, and child iy, ish. Whenever a politician is fought a. some other politician leads the ,as fight against him, and whenever )n you join in a fight against a poli m- tician, be very sure that you are ice not putting a club into the hands of some one, with which to break hyour own head. get Unwarranted Assumptions. ere Madison parish was stronger for Wells than any other one man yet on the windup it instructed for King. At the Madison parish convention his held Welnesdlay week the vote stood: King, ti65, Wells, b6,. 8o lhe only lost by 'J in votes. This shows that Wells hIad a ed strong following, At the mass meeting in Madison on ng the third ballot, the vote stood: Wells his 45 King , Murd, lch 37. Now this ballot showed beyond a doubt that Capt. Wells was the choice ofa plurality of votes. It shows an all other thing, that notwitlhstanding the assertion of Gen. King and his friendes Sto thle contrary that the plurality of es candidates worked out in King's favor. Is not this charge sufficient to dlri\e i's the friends of thie other candidates from him? It is a well known fact that Capt. Wells was the first man out for Co:ngress and of course his candi dacv was not with a view to combiune to h at King. King, hiisrlf, had an never expressed a desire to go back pt. when Capt. Wells caume out. nt, The above paragraphs taken re- from the Richland Beacon, are mis ge- leading, and not in accordance with the facts. The first one is far from correct. The first ballot which ate was a fair test of the strength of nst each candidate was King 35, Mur. Sdoch 34, 1 ells 33, Lott 20, a total ing of 122. This shows King to have s- been the strongest man, and Wells is third in strength instead offrst, ei- as the Beacon claims. The second in hIallot stood Murdoch 35. Wells 35, ow King 34, Lott 10, a total of 120, on. two votes less than the first ballot nut Lott lost four votes. Of the four votes lost by Lot, \Wells got two and Murdoch one. King lost one, the but as there were two votes short, to one, of them was clearly a Kir g out vote, and the othlier may have been. ad, The third ballot showed a gain. of - ten for Wells, four for King and ras two for Murdoch, which shows that ad. the Lott vote went mostly to Wells, ,4 but when Murdloch was dropped rat end the final test came, MIr. Wells th- got only 56 out-of atotalof 121, ota which demonstrated that Madison it did not want Wells, and to em a phasize the rejection of Wells when o it came to a vote for second choice, I of the meeting voted 66 for Murdoch, we 30 for Wells. ut O no,.lr. leacon I Your figures. nd are all right but your deductions are all wrong.
