The state officers to be voted upon at the election include the following: Five congressmen at salary of !ji7,.")00 each, two at large in the state and one from each of the three districts. For two year terms. Three members of the state supreme court at salary of $6,000. These judges are for six year terms. Governor at salary of $6,000. Lieutenant governor at salary of $1,200. Secretary of state at $3,000. State auditor at $3,000. Attorney general at $2,000. State treasurer at $3,000. Land commissioner at $3,000. School superintendent at $3,000. These last named officers are for four year terms. There are also members of the state legislature to be elected. Roosevelt when in office for 7 years gave the people a thimblefull of reform. To get back again he is promising them that he will ac complish a mountain of reform. But he denies knowing anything about those oily dollars. Samuel G. Blythe, political writ er for the Saturday Evening Post, with a circulation of nearly two million, says in the issue of Sep tember 21: After visiting Washington, Ore gon, California, Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Kan sas, Colorado, Nebraska and lowa, some aspects of the situation are reasonably clea t t i me. These can be summed up as follows: First: Those persons in the east and elsewhere who think that The odore Roosevelt has lost any great portion of his popularity in this wide territory are misinformed. Second: Those persons who are expecting the progressive move ment to subside and the former republicans in it to stick to the old party and vote with it in No vember are in error, judging from conditions as I find them the clos ing days of August. Third: Those persons who think that the farmers, the work ingmen, the skilled shop-laborers, the factory men, the railroad men, the traveling men, the small busi ness men, the storekeepers and their clerks do not intend to vote for Roosevelt and Johnson in large numbers—in amazingly large num bers—have no knowledge of what the mass of the people have in mind. Fourth: Those Taft men who hope that any considerable number of conservative democrats will vote for Taft, and in a way offset the loss to the republican party through the defection to Roosevelt, have no substantial basis for that hope. Fifth: Those Wilson men who are convinced that a large number of the old-line republicans will vote for Wilson in order to make the protest against Roosevelt most effective are right. Sixth: Those people who con tend that this is a fight between Roosevelt and Wilson, with Tail hopelessly out of it, at this tirn<\ have an adequate conception of the circumstances. Seventh : Any person who, bas ing his conclusions on figures, tab ulations, comparisons, canvasses, straws or past performances, pre tends to be able to say with any degree of certainty what the out come of it all will be is pretending NOW FOR THE SIDESHOW. Everything Id the sideshow of Roosevelt and Perkins Is risible except the Harvester trust and the establishment at Auburn, N. V., where women HDd children work tinder conditions that would disgrace Russia. and nothing more. Superficially, as a mere matter of political mathematics, it would seem and does seem that Wilson is most likely to be elected. Senator LaFollette, one of the few men in public life worthy to the title of progressive republican, and who has spent thirty years in the forefront of battle against spe cial privileges, gives his opinion of Roosevelt as follows: "While Roosevelt was president he offered no encouragement to the progres sive republicans who were strug gling against the old boss con trolled machines in the various states. He gave; no aid in the fight for direct primaries or other pro gressive legislation. His ap pointees were the most active agents of the opposition, and his influence was all on the side of the reactionaries." When a Canadian farmer buys an American plow for $7.20 after a duty of 15 per cent has been paid on it, and an American farmer pays $9 for a plow just like it, where does the American farmer benefit by the protective tariff? Fargo Democrat: If Roosevelt had been nominated at Chicago he would now be defending the re publican party and attacking the democratic party. He would have claimed that the republican party is still the proper instrument to bring about all needed reforms. He would have been proud of its record on the whole, and would have taken the position that no man is a good republican or a really wise man who would desert his party. He wasn't nominated and now he finds the republican party has been horribly corrupt for many years. Queer isn't it? When the third tenner left office, after nearly eight years of opportunity to "help the con sumer," that consumer was pay ing 25 per cent more for woolen blankets than during the previous ten-year period ; 27 per cent more for cotton flannels; 40 per eeni more for women's dress goods; 67 to 104 per cent more for pre served meats; :i0 to 180 per cent more for steel products; 24 to % per cent more for lumber; 2!) to •'{6 per cent, more fur window glass, and from 38 to 46 per cent more for furniture. Thus it is ap parent that when the third termer —From New York World. was in power, and really had a chance to do something, he allowed the trusts to rob both the farmer and the consumer. Xow that lie is out of office, and wants to get back in, he blandly tells both the betrayed farmer and tin; betrayed consumer, that he is their friend, and anxious to help them. And Oeorge W. Perkins, who profited most by this betrayal of the farmer and the consumer, is backing the third tenner's ambitions with .■ash. The Bull Moose, (By George Ade.) Folks say I'm crazy, But I don't care, I don't care. I mouth and fume like a crazy man, I rant and roar like no one can. I hand out lots of foolish bluff, But since the people like my stuff— I don't care. I shout and cuss in swelling notes, But what care I if I get the votes? I've pulled my hat from out the ring, So I can talk through the darned old thing. Just make a note when I throw a fit, And see if the crowd doeHn't fall for it— So I don't care. I'm strong on personalities, I'm long on generalities; 111 talk for the people any day, And ax for the interests-they must pay. I may be crazy, but I'm not quite daft, With Perkins behind me-where is Taft? I don't care.
