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.
