Butnow 10 the characters employed in

evident that the mere pressure ofthe

municatiOn, slip ofpaper is made to
pass along from roller, under these

frequency of paucity Of the dots made
Thus, suppose The letter A to be repre-,

Ter dips The point Of wire in, and with
draws it as quick as possible, SO that
the points only strike the paper, and in.

experiments upon this new and wonder

clearer ilea of it than your readers prob

steel pen and forked lighting.
The manner Of writing is this. The
photographer takes hold Of the loose enc

ITOWN. O., TUESDAY JUNE IL, 1914.
SOME REASONS
Why Henry Clay should not be elected
President of the United States.


Because he abandoned theDemOcrati'
party and joined the Federslis's, in th'
hope Of more speedily reaching the tOI
round Of his ambition.
Because, in 1924, when a candidate
for the Presidency, he sold himself anc
his influence 10 ] Q Adams, ,in exchangs
Tor Secretary OF State, aBd by bargain and
sale, defeated the election Of Andrew
Jackson.
Because he has been the fast friend Oi
a United States Bank, and defended
its enOrmlties, whilst its cOTruPtiOns
sunk rank in the nOstrls Of all honest
men.
Because in his course upon the tarlti
question he has exhibited the time seTV"
ing dispOsitin Of q wealhercock-shift'
ing his position from North 10 South as
the fainlest breath of popular prejudice
might direct
Because in 1878, lie claimed TO be
the father of the American system, which
dictated and produced Tariff which he
has lately ackno Wlsdged lin his Georgia
