November 5.
The result of the election de

qualities of the dciuorral .s.
A .Missouri editor says that
Wilson is standing on his record,
Taft is silling on his, ami lloose

:o:
As the veil is being lifted if be
comes more and more a wonder
I. hat. the democratic parly has
survived I he crusade of corrup
tion which it has heen compelled
to meet, every four years.
:o:
What does Roosevelt think of
ioernor Jladley of Missouri now?
For lliplloppiiifx he is as well
versed as our little governor, and
one of the seven governors who
in.-iled on Teddy coming out for
president, at that,.

Senator Iturlon of Ohio is lu

Tail's parly of larilT oralors, and

There are no small men in the
democracy of Missouri. They
presented a strong front at Halli
moi'e, fought the best llghl I hey
knew, but when they lost, they
stepped Willi slaiwart stride into

I hem, each of w hom is an idol in
(lis particular sphere, is on the
llriiiK line, for Wilson and Mar
shall. -:o:-
If a gift of Mali was a recom
mendation to a man for an olllre
of trust, Aldrich would certainly
"lake the cake." It is related that
lie never opens his mouth hut that
lie has something mean to say
atbnut his opponent, lion. John II.
Morchead. Hut Mr. Mnrchead's
shoulders are broad
and
his
record so clean that Aldrich s
1
villitlcat ions do not amount In
anything to those who know Mr.
Morehead, and also those who
have had the pleasure of meeting
him,
1 : :o:
The democrat who lias partial
ly made up his mind that he will
not vole for Wnodrow Wilson,
should take Ihe mailer seriously
ami think think hard before he
takes such a step. If you are vex
ed at what some other democrat
has done, don't pick your spile
out on an innocent person. You
know the democratic candidate is
not responsible for Ihe acts of
some member of Ihe organi.al ion.
You should be brac and battle
for your rights in the parly,
where you have as good right to
Mvvrll as Ihe man whom you claim
lias done wrong. You cannot help
the matter by doing what be lias
done. That is not the way to gel,
even. Slay inside the parly, and
do your duly by helping to elect
one of the best men that ever
breathed the hrealb of life, presi
dent of (lie rniled Slates. After
Ihe battle is over, and Wood row
Wilson has been elected, you can
breathe easier, sleep and eat bet
ter and hurrah as loud as any ol
us. Throw aside your bitler nn.
nimosities, pull off your coals
roll up your sleeves and join the
victorious hosts in their ouvvan
inarch to that goal for which vou
have helped usValtle for so long
a triumphant democracy.

No man, who claims to' be a

Paul (Hark, who would like to
go to congress from the First
listricl, to best serve the gang he
has been serving for lo, these
many years, is traveling over the
district in a big red automobile
telling the people, what few of
I hem he can gel together, what be
will do for them in the event he is
elected. Paul is a smooth-bore
politician, and on llrsl sight tin
people readily perceive this. In
the appearance of John Maguire
they view a different personage
a gentleman, whose countenance
beams with intelligence, who has
done all that he has promised,
and the people know it. John
Maguire has been tried and not
found wanting in bis duties, and
the voters, we believe, are so well
salislled with bis stewardship in
congress that they will arise en
masses on the 5th day of Novem

creased majority.

There is 110 doubt that the
corporations and monied interests
of the country are trying to throw
lloosevelt overboard. Hut our
opinion is they will have a hard
lime doing it.
Taft promises to make another
revision of the tariff iu case he is
elected, For heaven's sake, don't,
elect him. Kverylhing is so high
now that a man lias to go hungry
half of the time.

The straw voles all over Ihe

don't count for much iu the esti

it makes a difference who's gel

Mux Hi Judge Cosgrove is a bull

will go tht supreme court.
It wilt lie well to do a little
prying into the campaign donors

Taft is equally as guilty as Teddy
in accepting large donations from
the trusts who bought bis election
four years ago.

The election this year is going
to demonstrate that the people

driven to ihe polls by threats of

:o: .
The democrats have the lies
show this year to elect a president
they have ever had, and it almost
unnerves one who has fought for
party success for II fly years to
hear men, who we have looked
upon as steadfast democrats, say
that they cannot, nor will not sup
port Wilson and Marshall. Several
of them say they will vote for
Tafl, while others say they will
not vole for president at all.
Shame I
When Parker accused Roosevelt
of accepting contributions from
the corporations to help elect him,
Teddy said il was a lie.. From the
investigation of the committee
selected for the purpose of in
vestigating such charges, it is
found that Teddy was the liar in
more instances than one.
F.x-dovcrnnr Shallenberger, in
a speech at Aurora, Neb., a few
evenings ago, tritely said: "The
complaint that Morehead was not
an orator would be good news to
many voters. What we want in
the governor's ollice is 'Morehead,'
and imt so much talk, and that is
why the democrats are offering
Morehead."
:o:
When election day rolls round
we want to see every voter who
believes in tariff reform and wants
to free themselves of till, clutches
of those who have made it so hard
for them to exist, get in line and
march lo the polls Willi tin.' ban
ner of Wilson and Marshall un
furled to the breeze.
Reports from over the slate
would indicate very conclusively
that Aldrich was a gone gosling.
Those who hear him are not taken
wilh his manner of speech to his
auditors. His .speeches constitute
principally of abuse of his oppon
ent, 1 1 ii. John II. Morehead. ilis
tirade of abuse is Ihe best evi
dence in the world that the cute
lillle fellow who occupies the
chair in llic executive ollice senii
occaional!y is staring defeat iu
the face.

R. V. Clark, democratic candid
ate for superintendent of public
instruction, is making a splendid
impression everywhere he goes.
He impresses those who meet him
with his earnestness and his love
for his chosen profession. Hav
ing secured his education by hard
work he knows the disadvantages
hat many seekers after knowledge
labor under, and fully realizes the
need of progressive reform in
educational mailers. He would
make the public schools of more
service to the average child in
stead of making them of peculiar
service lo the fortunate few.

The popular subscriptions for
democratic campaign funds is be
ing successfully carried out, and
money from every uuarter is
coming in. The usual contribu
tion through the bevvspapers is
from !?l to sM, but in isolated
cases there have been sometimes
as high as 100, and in one case
a contributor gave ")()(). However,
subscriptions as small as 25 cents
have been received. These are
not treated scornfully by the
democratic managers, who go on
the principle that when a man is
induced to contribute even a small
amount, he thereby not only be
comes a friend but nn earnest
worker for the cause.

The very word tariff is of un
savory origin. II came' from the
name of the town, Tarifa, on the
Strail of (iibrallar, a strategic
point where in ancient times the
predatory Moors held up incom
ing and outgoing ships and levied
tribute. In our day, the "tariff
wall" has been used by the pre
dator interests to hold up and
levy tribute on the American
people. The tariff has been built
up and prepctualed by the repub
lican party under the specious
guise of protection to American
industries. The robbery of the
ultimate consumer for years has
been carried on under the cloak of
protection.
