Editor ARGUS: Our local DemOc-
racy has aroused itself. It has not
only gotten, but has compelled all Its
members 70 surrender their manhood
by signing an oath binding them to
swallow Democracy straight. 1t is
understood that this brilliant organ
ization is due to the efforts of those
time Eonvred leaders, Professor Bill
Donovan and Captain Ed. Hickman,
under such leadership the Democra-
cy could hardly fail of being thor
oughly organized 1t seems they
took the oath precautlon III order to
hold into line such satellites as Joe
Kuhn and Loney Flowers. You
know Kuhn h25 been IL mugwump,
and was never elected to office eX-
cept by Republican votes. He nat
urally feels like kicking over the
traces occasionally and must be held
in line. Flowers was Republican,
a very ardent one, before he under
took the task of running a Demo
cratIc newspaper, and his overhowing
subsidized feelings might get the bet
ter of him, you know, unles ha were
restrained IN some way. His efforts
to earn his money render him su,
premely silly at times. OF course he
can't help showing his hulf-hearted'
ness and insincerity now and then
But Donovan and Hickman vii! hold
the rank and file level. Their states
manship is of the kind that accom-
plishes sesults. Republicans mus
look we'll to their laurels.

Landes is one of the people. The

has made him capable of aPpreaist-
ing the misfortunes of his fellow
man. No one has ever been known
to 90 to Col. Landes, deserving of
assistance, but what they have re-

Henry Landes has served his
country in her hour of trial, and did
all in his power to prevent the
friends of WIN. Payne, the d, mo-
cratic party,,in rending asund~r this
government. When the wild alarm
of war rang throughout this land,
Henry Landes, was a mere boy-he
had not reached the age OF eighteen,
but though youthful, his heart beat
for the cause of the Union and on the
morning of October 1st, 1861, he
ran away from school and enlisted as
a private soldier under the stars and
stripes He Was not soldier for a
day, but fought gallantly until he
was mustered out ot service on the
1st day of January, 1865.
In some of the fiercest and bloodi-
est battles of the Rebellion did be
take part. He was engaged in the
battle of Shilo, siege of Corinth
battle of Iuka, Stone River and the
Atlanta campaign. At the siege of
Corinth he was wounded Though
commissioned as a lieutenant, he WAS
never mustered into the service as
such, on account of his company b5-
ing decimated in numbers and event
ually mustered ont for that reason.
Henry Landes, at the time of his
discharge from the army of the
Union WAS a sergeant. There were
not many men in the Union army
from the state OF Kentucky and it
showed q great love of country N
Mr. Landes to leave his rebel sur-
roundings and enlist in support of
the Union. This one Incident in his
lite marks him a man to be admired
by all lovers OF good government.
1t shows him to be a man who can
not be influenced from the proper
course. This act of his life proves
him to be a man who is worthy the
support and commendation of all the
citizens. Of not only this county, but
of the counties composing the sena-
torial district.
Mr.. Landes is a G. A. Il. man,
and one of the charter members of
the post in this city. The defenders
of this Country are always entitled to
recognition and consideration at the
hands of the people and such con-
sideration is due to Henry Landes.
