Howard County, July 26, 1914.

"Our tickle. for the Legislature is as unexcep.
tionable as any that could possibly have been
made. Pilot.
1t is composed of men who have con.
fessed that they voted for laws they did
not understand; men who have violated
their pledges; men who voted for the Tax
Law of the last session; men who have
assisted in running the State in debt; men
who are in favor of putting a man, woman
or child IN JAIL for passing or receiving
five or three dollar bill; men who are OPP
posed to equal representation; men whose
last public votes stand recorded against dis
tricting the State; men who have trampled
the constitution under foot; men who are
incapable of writing ten lines correctly; men
who do not understand plain English when
they read it; men who have been forced
on the stump to acknowledge their incapacity
to legislate! 1t is not saying very much
for the democratic party of Howard
county, to say such ticket as this is the
best that could possibly have been formed.

To all The World 0ho use Leather in any Form
OIL OF TANNIN,
Or, Leather RestOrcr.
A nc,D Chemical DiscOperU.

Most people know, that skins and hides are con-
verted into leather by the use Of Tanrin extracted
from certain barks DC.
When the force and strength Of the Tannin is
worn out, leather becomes dead, hard, dry, brittle,
cracked, corered Nth crust, dc. THIS ALL
KNOW To restore then life, sottness, moistneSS,
strength, Smoothness, and remove all crust, fly or
bhster-restore the tannin. This substance the
leather never can receive the second time; but the
whole virtues Of it in this article, the OIL OF
TANNIN-which penetrates the stiffest and hard
est leathor if it has been twenty years in use; and
if it tears easily with the fingers, it imparts at
once q strength that is utterly incredible until
seen. Hbecomes like leather, in all res 2ects,
with delightful softness and polish, and makes all
leather completely and perfectly imperrious to wa
ter--partcnlarly boots, shoes, carrage-tops, har-
ness, hose, trunks, and in fact all things made Of
leather, giving splendid polish, even higher than
new leather has, and al least doubling it's wear
and durability, in whatever manner the leather is
used.--THESE ARE FACTS.

DIED.-In Glasgow, on the 18th inst, in the
10Th year Of her age, Miss ELIZABETH DIGGES.
She died in the bloom of youth. She died, as she
had lived, in virtue and innocence She died in
calm resignation to the will of Heaven. She died
at peace with God and all mankind. Friendship
will long mourn her early death, and cherish her
remembrance. The touching story of her bright
but brief existence, need not be recorded but the
flowers that shall deck the turf where she sleeps,
may furnish faint yet beautiful emblem of the
frailty and purity that lie buried beneath.
Could the friends who now sprinkle her grave
with their tears, call her back to earth, what voice
could be heard to summon her again to the fleeing
scenes of mortality? In bright world beyond the
tomb, whose music no mortal ear NAV hear, whose
glOries no mortal eye may behold her spirit now
realizes that moment in Heaven is worth an age
of bliss on earth. Though the grave be dark and
dreary, it is The only passway to blissful immor
tality: and even affection may cease to mourn
when it knows that she whose life was so pure
and virtuous on earth, is now an angel in Heaven.

We have not heard loco loco say Texas since
they came home from Boonvlle All their en-
lhusiasm for Immediate annexation has vanished.
And why? Because Col. Benton told them such
talk was humbuggeryl They commended that
Mexico had no right to Texas at all; that Mexico
should not be consulted on the subject, but that
we should annex Texas nov. Col. Benton told
them this was worse than humbuggery: that it
was downright. roguery; that Mexico should and
must be consulted: that il was imnaterlal
whether Texas was annexed one, two or three
years hence! These are the reasons why their
tone Ia changed. The leaders Of this county
have been very unfortunate; they will wait next
time until Col. Benton tells them what to do.

To rin PEOPLE OF HOWARD.


One who wishes the citizens of old How

advocated by the two great contending
parties of the day, and examine them care
fully and impassionately, and then vote for
the man or men who will, in your opinion,
carry out those principles, now addresses
you. have reasons for making this re-
quest, and they are simply these. l have,
as il were, been rocked in a democratic
cradle, and taught democracy by those who
] believed were honest in their views
This, of course, placed me in the democrat
&c ranks, and have acted with the demo-
cratic party ever since, until the present
time. ] have been in favor of United
States Bank for years past, but have al
ways voted for ant-bank men. read
nothing but democratic papers, and until
within few years back, when times began
TO get so hard, did come to the conclusion
that there was something wrong, and re-
solved to read and examine for myself,
wing politics, and compare the two togeth-
or. This course convinced me that the
Wings were right, and in my humble opin-
ion, l think 1t the duty of every man who
wishes the United States to prosper, to lay
aside ali prejudice and 60 for the measures
advocated by the wings. 1t may be asked
what those measures are? understand
the great leading ones TO be United States
Bank, and Protective Tariff. These are
what conceive TO be Wing measures, and
these are the measures l call upon you TO
examine carefully before you vote. be-
lieve the. more they are examined the
brighter they will shine.
L am in favor Of National Bank, be-
cause it will furnish safe and sound cur
rency for the transaction of business--re-
store confidence in money matters-and
enable the farmer TO sell his produce at a
good price, for good money, and not sub
ject him TO the mercy Of brokers and money
shavers. The farmers are particularly in
terested in having good currency, for as
the good book says, tout of the sweat of
thy brow shalt thou earn thy bread" Give
them good currency, and you break up
money shavers and swindlers-and when.
ever the farmer prospers, every thing else
moves on well.
am in favor of Tariff TO defray the
expenses of the Government, and protect
the laborers of this country against the
pauper labor of Europe. Our Govern
ment must be supported, and a tariff is the
easiest way to support it. The present
tariff according to my understanding, is,
that we pay a tax just in proportion to
what we buy, so that it is left entirely to
your own choice, which makes it voun-
tary act. Direct taxation operates differ
emily. Holding these views, on these SUBJ
jects, l believe my friends, neighbors and
at me, were to vote in opposition to them;
80 / have resolved hereafter to vote my
own politics, and request my friends, as at
first, 10 examine and do the same. / am
Clay man to the core.
