Republicans of This County

Scheming of Gtllen

HO WORK FOR ANDREWS
BY NEW ORGANIZATION
Peanut County Politics and Fra
ming of Slate Keeps Would-be
Bosses Busy. Forget That
People Expect Them to
Get Out Andrews Vole.
Tha Republicans of Bernalillo coun
ty are becoming restless under the
inaction which has prevailed since
the new county committee was cre
ated.' There appears to be a well founded
rumor that two or three men, notably
W. H. Gillenwater, the county chair
man, and the men who control the
Journal-Democrat, ere figuring on a
elate for county offices and not figur
ing on much of anything else.
In fact it is Quite apparent that no
work U being done for the Republi
can delegate to Congress despite tne
fact that the new organization, when
Andrews signed the somewhat notori
ous letter endorsing their delegates t
the recent primaries, pledged itself to
support him loyally and honestly.
The Republicans of this county,
particularly those who are avowed
candidates for county office, are be
ooming restless and many inquiries
are being heard as to when the coun
ty chairman expects to call the pri
maries and Whether he Intends to see
that all are given a square deal or
wiiether he is seeking to frame up a
slate with himself as county boss.
' Tli? .fnnty chairman and several
of his associates have ben caucusing
for some days and it requires little
imagination to guess what they are
caucusing about, it is quite apparent
that if they taa form a ring and by
delaying the primaries until the last
minute, force their slate upon the
party, they intend to do it.
But the most significant part of the
present situation, is the apparent
readiness of a large majority of the
Republicans to rebel against any
euch star chamber sessions and it 1
quite apparent that it an attempt is
made by the county chairman and his
crowd to work an open and shut
game at the primaries, there will be
things doing in Bernalillo county poll,
tics.
The Republicans are well aware
that Andrews is being entirely neg
lected by the new county organiza
tion. Nothing whatever, has yet been
done towards assuring the big ma
jority which Is rightfully his in this
county and there are loud murmur
Ings heard at the way in which Gil
lenwater and his crowd are disregard
lag' their pledge to the Republican
candidate fur delegate to Congress.
The Democrats have perfected their
organization In the county and are
now sitting back, waiting patiently to
e how many different things Gillen
water intends to hand out to the Re
publican party.
It is quite apparent that if Glllen
water and his crowd do not get onto
tha Andrews band wagon pretty soon
and show that they are going to sup
port him sincerely and honestly, that
they will lind themselves In all kinds
of trouble
Incidentally, it la also plain that
if Gillenwater does not indicate pretty
soon that he is going to call the prl
marics early and give every one an
equal chance, there are going to be
a number of political brick bats cast

nothing else will go.
It is not yet forgotten that two
years ai;u some of the ame men who
are now trying to engineer the coun
ty slate, traded the Republican delegate-

enough Democratic votes to save

they are determined to have It
But no matter what may be done
mu city and county are In no mood
to have a second attempt made to

However, it is high time that Mr.
uiuenwaier awaaen to me iact tnai
ne is incidentally cnairman or a com
mittee pledged to get out the An
drews vote and from the talk which
eminates from the rank and file of
the party, it is time for that commit
tee to begin Its work.
The star chamber sessions, which
Gillenwater and his Journal-Democrat
friends, have been holding on
the matter of controlling the county
offices has amounted to nothing ex
cept to eaue a slump in Gillenwater
political stock, which has always
been quoted considerable below par.
Mr. Gillenwater should remember
that he Is on trial bofore the Repub
licans of this county at this time. His
only political appearance - was as
chairman of the city committee and
his record In that capacity can stand
considerable improvement.
The party now stands united and it
will remain so, If fair play Instead of
bigotry and bosslsm Is permitted to
nrxvnil. The sentiment amonar the
Republican voters of the county ap-
pears to be solidly for Andrews and vagu una morning wuuam j. uryan

Peoria, 111., Sept. . Leaving Chl-

Tho Journey from the station to the
hotel was a continuous ovation and
uryan was forced to make a brief
speech from the balcony. Later he
addressed a great meeting on "The
State and tno Nation." He said:
The success of our system ot gov
ernment rests upon the caretui ob
servance of the constitutional divis.un
of power between the state and tne
nation. A number of expressions have
been coined to descr.be the relatiooa
existing between the federal govern
ment and the several subdivisions, but
no one has been more felicitous In
definition than Jefferaon or more ac
curate in drawing lines of deui&rka
Uon. He presented the Historic PJ
slliou of the Democratic party whin
he declared himself in iavor of "the
support of the state governments la
All their rights as the moat competent
administrations tor our domestic con
cerns and the surest bulwarks agaiust
anti-republican tendencies," and "the
preservation of the general govern
ment In its whole constitutional vigor,
as the sheet anchor of our safety at
homo and peace abroad." The Dem
ocratic pialform, adopted at Denver,
quotes the language of Jefferson and
ueclares that it expresses the party a
position at this time.
it would be almost as difficult to
maintain a free, self-governing repub
lic over a large area and with a large
population without state governments
as it would be to maintain such a re
public without a general government.
The interests of the different parts of
the country are so varied, and the
matters requiring lcgis.at.ve atten

Impossible to have all of the work
done at the national capltol. One has
only to examine the bills Introduced
in each Congress, and then add to the
number the bills introduced at the
legislative sessions of each ot the
forty-six slates, to realize that It
would be beyond the power of any
body of men to legislate intelligently
on the mutlllude of questions that re
quire consideration.
Not only would national legislators
lack the time necessary for Inveatiga-
lion, and therefore lack the informa
tion necessary to wise decision, but
the Indifference of representatives In
one part of the country to local mat
ters in other parts of the country
would invite the abuse of powir.
Then, too, the seat of government
would be so far from the great ma
jority of the voters as to prevent that

There is no twilight gone between
the nation and the stats iu which the
exploiting interest, can lake refuge

ground where, beyond the Jurisdiction
of either sovereignly, the plunderers
oi the public can find a aafe retreat.
As long as a corporation confines Its

that our opponents may not be able

means and means only what It says,
A distinction Is drawn between the

iadrouU, belug a qa-s1-public corpora
Uon and, as such, being permitted U

the bauds of both the nation and the
state, but this regulation is intended,
nut to cripple the railroads hut to
increase their efficiency. The peop.e
at large are a, much Interested as the
stockholders are In the successful op
eration of the railroads. Their own
pecuniary Interests as well as their
sense of Justice would restrain them
from doing anything that wou'd im
pair the road or reduce its efficiency

Is in the hands of those who operate

The Democratic party wojld dis
tinguish between those la h ud own
ers, directors and managers who, rec
ognlz.ng their obligation to the public,
earn their salaries by const, lenliojs
devotion to the work entruited to
them, and those unscrupulous "Na
poleons of finance" who use railroads
aa mere pawns in a great gambling
game without regard to the rights of
employe, or to the interestj of 'ho
patrons. It is in the Interest of lion
est railroading and legitlr.iati Invent
ment that the Democratic party seeks
to ascertain the present value jf the
railroad properties and to pvvn' fcr
the future the watering of itte't and
the issue of fictitious capitalization;
and It la ill the Interest of both the
railroads and the public that it seeks
only such reductions in transporta
tion rates as can be" made without
wage reduction, without deteriora
tion In the service and without ,n
Justice to legitimate investments. T"0
Democratic parly insist, that in the
matter of regulation of raiiroaJd both
the state governments and the federal
government shall act up to, and yet
within, their powers; for nothing else
will restore the confidence and gO'l
will that oURht to exist between the
railroads and the people. In dealing
with manufacturing and trading cor
porations the Democratic party draws
a distinction between thane corpora
tions and they constitute the great
majority of ail the manufacturing and
trading corporations which are en
gaged in a legitimate effort to supply
what the consumers need, and the
very few corporations which are seek
ing by conscienceless methods to take
advantage of the public on the one
hand, while on the other hand th y
bankrupt competitors, oppress th"
producers of raw materials and deal
arbitrarily with their employes. it
endeavors to protect the Innocent cor
porations by vls'tlng punishment upon
those corporations which are guilty of
Infractions of the moral and the stat
ute law. Here, too, our platform Is

Duluth, Sept. . It was a night of
terror on the range and one of deep
anxiety for Duluth, which was threat
ened for a time with total destruc
tion by lire and saved only by the
wind dying down. The flamea raged
throughout the surrounding country
all night and the glare could be seen
for miles in every direction, while
thick clouds of black smoke overhung
the city. The flames last night threat
ened a half dozen of the larger towns
on tho range but ail were saved.
More than a thousand residents of
lilbbing fought thu flames all night
and this morning report, from that
town are that it is safe. A fire en
gine was held in readiness here, load
ed on a flat car, to be rushed to lilb
bing whenever called for, but it was
not needed. Keslduiita uf the town
fought back the flames from the edges
of the towasite aud saved It after an
all night vigil.
liovcy had as hard a fight as nib

Colerains, the two combined forces
triumphing over the fire. At Aurora,
Nashwauk, Bull, Wrenshall and in sev
eral smaller villages like conditions
obtained but the continual battle
agaiat fire waged by the resident of
those places all night gained the vlo
to.y and the towns were saved. This
morning the' wind is dying down- and
the fires appear to be gradually burn
ing themselves out.
The most dramatic incidents of the
entire fire promise to develop around
Grand Marais. The steamer Gopher
and a United stales gunboat, carrying
fifty naval milit.a, left last night for
Grand Marais to rescue settlers along
the north shore. The village is en
tirely cut off from means of commun
ication and it will be twenty-four
hours at least before anything is
heard from the rescuers. Passengers
