Essay On Bolting. !
Can any Democrat afford to
bolt the convention? No, they
cannot, and they surely will not.
The place to correct or regulate
is in the party. Because it is
reported that some of our pres
ent and would-be officers some
times drink is n« excuse for us
to violate our promise. Says
some, there was no obligation.
Well, let us see. What is a pri
mary for? All well know that
each and every one that goes in
to the primary agrees to abide
by the will of the majority. There
are two kinds of contracts in law
and both are binding -i. e. ex
pressed and implied. When a
man goes into the primary he
understands the whole of the
contract. The Democratic Com
mittee met and ruled, and the
rules were published. The judges
were instructed that any man
believing in the principles of the
Democrats party, and who would
support its nominees should be
allowed to vote, otherwise they
should not be allowed to vote. It
was a plain contract. Now can
we afford to violate our part of
the contract and vote the Social
ist ticket just because some find
fault with a few individuals in
thp nartv? It would be like a
man leaving his wife and child
ren because he found fault with
one of the children.
Do you think that the Socialist
party is a party of purified saints?
If you do, take up the individual
record of some of its members
and investigate, and you will find
it worse than drinking a little
whiskey or striking a fellow ovtf
the head. Now let us be honest
and reasonable and not jump at
conclusions. Don’t never do
things in haste, or we may have
to repent at leisure. Many times
we hear reports that upon inves
tigation we find they are quite
different, or not nearly so bad as
first reported. Now, as to the
whiskey drinking. We fear that
if we should kill every man that
takes a drink, or would take a
drink of whiskey, there would be
very few left to administer the
law. If we can’t afford to vote for
one man because he drinks a lit
tle whisKey, let’s not act the
hypocrit, but turn down all alike.
A justice of the peace, school
director, constable or road over
seer is just as important as a
representative, only their sphere
is not so large. So then, if we
aim to clean up, let us clean up
the whole thing. We should
make the rule work both ways.
Before we condemn a man for
doing a thing, let’s be sure we
are free from doing it ourselves.
We should get our bibles and
turn to where the woman was
taken in adultery and oonsider
Christ’s admonition. Then turn
to where the mote and beam is
spoken of, then examine our
selves. So far as drinking is con
cerned. the writer of this oppos
es drunkenness as much as any
man does, is one of the most
earnest advocates of law and or
der, believes in not just advocat
ing temperance, but has set an
example by not using coffee or
tobacco in any form, and using
whiskey only as a medicine,
never bought a dollar’s worth of
whiskey to use as beverage in his
life, and the nearest he was ever
drunk was when he drank by
mistake some “spiked” cider
bought at a strictly prohibition
town. Even if all the reports
are true we have no right to de
stroy the Democratic party be
cause of a few men. All parties
have primaries except the Social
ist and they represent by repre
sentation through the vote of
their locals. Our primary system
is much better than theirs. Ex
President Roosevelt is one of the
greatest exponent of the refer
ence primary. A primary is on
ly a party referendum. Some
go into the primary for the pur
pose of nominating men whom
they think the opposition can
beat at the general election
judging from the past. Is the
Democratic party the only party
that has men in it that drinks?
'
Why, bless your life my dear
would-be bolters, I have seen the
most uncompromising prohib
itionists about election time drink
the most whiskey between elec
tions. (Say, W.J. are you aludin’
to me?—editor.) We should nev
er howl about honest elections
unless we are strictly honest in
our dealings with our fellow
man. We should never blame an
officer for not executing the law
on the other fellow, then when
our folks or friends violate the
law keep it smuggled.
We are aware of the fact that
some have, from long practice,
acquired the habit of
scratching the ticket. Whatever
we may have been in the past,
the ticket we vote at the time is
beyond question the party we
belong to at the time of voting.
The Bible tells us, “No man
can serve two masters”. If you
have in the past voted the Repub
lican ticket and wish to vote for
our nominees, we will thank you
for it. Or if you have sometime
in the past scratched the ticket,
we will take you back now by
recantation, but we g ve fair
warning to all that our primaries
hence forth wiH be “straight
laced”. The worst enemy a man
can have is the man who pats
you on one shoulder with one
hand then stabs you in the back
with the other. The Democratic
party is not absolutely perfect.
No party is. but we do claim
that it is as free from political
short-comings as any party, and
has just as good men in it as in
any party. There are none per
fect, so let us lay aside all per
sonal differences and not allow
our enemy to accomplish our ruin:
and not violate our ebligations by
scratching after going into the
primary. Firmness is a part of
m> religion, and my word is my
bond.
With friendship for all,
W. J.
Say, W. J., climb some mount
ain peak where the wind will get
a sweep at you and cool off. Look
across the crags to the peaceful
valleys below. Contemplate the
grandure of nature about you
and the serenity of the blue vault
above you till you get your nerve
back. Don’t you know that the
men who are threatening to
scratch the ticket have not voted
for all the nominees since Heck
was a purp. There are not enough
of them to amount to a wart on
a pickle. We got fooled once and
we’ve been “foxy” ever since.
When a boy we pitched camp one
evening in the midst of the great
Colorado desert. As the stars
began to sprinkle the azure of
the unspotted heavens, the
glories of God’s handiwork was
vividly pictured in majestic
mountains, broad expanse of des
ert sand, wide valleys painted
green by the hand of Spring.
i he freshness and purity of the
air sent health and vigor through
the body, making you glad you
were alive; and the perfect peace
fulness of sublime nature made
you feel that God was near and
you feared not death. We felt a
sense of security that no other
time or plaae could give. Just at
this moment as unearthly racket
broke loose across a rise like all
the wolves in creation was hold
ing Anarchist convention there.
Our nerves weat to pieces nearly
or quite as bad as yours seem to
be now. We were sure a million
wolves would soon be knawingour
bones that’s all the weight we
carried. We siezed a Marlin and
all the amunition in camp and
stoled forth to sell our life for
all a doomed man was worth.
Think of our astonishment and
relief when we found just ONK
half starved, mangy coyote, that
looked like he needed to lie
dipped, sitting on haunches ser
enading his love across the val
ley. Since then we know the
breed and don’t get stirred up
like you, when you hear a bolter
raising h—1 in the valley below.
They will always be in the valley
of defeat below the hil} of suc
cess.
