THE DEMOCRATS.
They Hold a ROusing Meet
ing at the Court House.
the Democratic Drum Corps Make Their
Debut on the Streets and Enliven the
Town With Martial Music.

The Democratic drum corps got out
IN good shape last evening and
gathered large crowd to the Court
house, tllllng the courtroom.
Mr. A. ID. Cash called the meeting
TO order and called upon d. d. Houtz
TO speak for a few minutes. Mr.. Houts
dwelt upon the subject of centraliza-
ton OF power. He claimed that power
could not be centralized without vio-
latlng the constitution of the United
/ states, IN as much as there is no power
given to the general government EXCEPT
/ mat mentioned in the constitution, and
the states can legislate on every sub
yect not forbidden by that instrument.
we believe in interpreting the consti-
tuition strictly as it reads. There are
what are called implied powers, so that
whatever Is necessary to carry out the
provisions of the constitution are con-
ceded as proper by the Democrats.
II there Is any doubt as
to which way the constitution
should be construed. we claim that
the people, and not the government
should receive the benefit OF the doubt /
Whenever the doubt is given for the
benefit OF the government it ALWAYS has
sion OF the people. If the government
has power to take the property OF a
corporation, as the Republican judges
Of the Supreme Court of the United
states have said, it has power to take
the property of a private individual

Theodore NJ SamueIson said the
maxim: BE sure you're right, and
then 20 ahead applies to politics as
well as TO anything else. A young man :
should try TO see which of the parties =,
IS right, and then join that party in l
face OF all opposition. The protec- !
-ion offered by the Republican party !
10 the working men is not real.
Any one who relies on anv :
)ther protection than that of his God '

himself deceived. Democracy will not u
cad to anarchy, as opponents claim. o

A. L. Booth read some statistics in V
gard to education, re.uting the
,atements that the Republicans are
lore OF an educational party than the
democrats.
Judge w. n. Dusenbury said that
ne present political condition now in IN

lucational campaign. One gentleman -
al said he felt he was a political or "
