Hon. W. S. West says that, Hon.
Bill Osborne is laboring under a
delusion of large proportions.
West says Osborne thinks he
(Osborne) is a candidate for I resi
dent of the Senate; whereas, the
real candidate for that exalted
position is W. S. West. This may
be true; and, yet, it is impossible
to figure out just how long Mr.
West will remain a candidate.
After Bill takes a few falls out of
him, doubtless he will be glad to
escape from the race via the route
taken by a more or less well known
gentleman named Steed.
Bob LaFollette, Governor of
Wisconsin ami United States Sen-
ator-elecl, of the some State, is a
man who has found that honesty
and decency in politics constitute
the best party policy. But, in or
der to. be ., successful, the honest
politician'must be a man of irre
proachable character, a man pos
sessing brains and ability of a
high order. The average politi
cian possesses no character that,
will bear investigation, no honesty
of purpose, no eapacitv for play
ing the man and doing things for
the common welfare of his con
stituency or country. The aver
age politician is a little, mean,
selfish, contemptible cur, who
resorts to lying, trickery and dirty
schemes because these are the only
weapons he knows how to wield.
Don’t expect the average politi
cian to be a man. He has none
of the elements of manliness in
his composition and, therefore,
cannot rise above himself.
