among other things: "When man is a
candidate of party he is the candidate OF
a portion of the people, but when he is
elected he becomes the representative OF
the whole people. / congratulate you on
your successes. The Congress district gave
to the labor candidate, Mr.. George, 8 ,OOo
votes. Mr.. George beat Mr.. Hewitt in tho
Congress district, but Mr.. Hewitt was elect

people set up the shout of Allah, il Allah
The Sultan is a great power, but there is
greater, and that is Allah. Although the
republican party is great, and the Demo-
cratic party greater, the people are greater
than both parties, and greater still than all
| these is the voice of God.
81 have been in the Democratic party for
two generations and capnot leave it now in
my old age The clouds over the party

fear no danger from the labor party II
there are grievances, the remedies should
be sought within the law, and if there are
any wrongs they shall be righted. Let
them be considered by the democratic par
ty with such aid as George and his party
can render. The people have voted for a
constitutional convention. The place for
George is in this convention. Let him 60

the grievances of labor be remedied there.

WHAT THE LOCAL PAPER DoEs.-Every
year the local paper gives from 500, to 5000
free lines for the sole benefit of the CON-
munity in which it is located. No other
agency can or will do this. The editor in
proportion to his means does more for his
town than any other ten men. In all fair
ness, man with man, he ought to be sup
ported, not because you may happen to
like him, or admire his writing, but be-
cause local paper is the best investment
community can make. 1t may not be bril-
liant or crowded with more thoughts, but
financially it is more of a benefit to COM
lnunity than the preacher or teacher. IN
derstand us now, we do not mean morally
t'r intellectually, but financially, and yet
on the moral question you will find the ma
iority of the local papers are on the right
