cal than no is Look at DEMoREsT OF New

Prohibition logic far longer than DIDwELL
has stuck to it, and is therefore better con-
flrmed In 1t; no has done moro to propagate
1t than BrDwEIL has. and no has spent
moro money for it than BIDwEL1 ever
did. II thore be degrees in logicality.
and II candidate should have reached
tho top degree. thcn DEMoREsT OF New York.

that tho supporters OF DEMonEsT. who made
an excellent show at the Cincinnati Conven-

Tho downright Socialists appear to have
somo horse sense. which Is kind OF sense
that 10 founded on natural logic They cannot
find truly logical candidate for their party
in the whole country. and 80 they are trying
to come to the conclusion that they will not
nominate any candidate at all. We must say
that there are brains In this conclusion.
We aro anxious that. In 80 far as 1t may be
possible. desirable and convenient, all things

Came from Cuba to vote.

The last vote deposited in Rhode Is
land at the recent election was the vote
of Eugene McAuliffe, Of Providence.
The gentleman was in Cuba when he re-
ceived cablegran telling him of the
urgent necessity for every vote, Con-
sulting the shipping register, he found
that by taking a steamer which sailed
that night he might with good weather
reach Boston the day before election.
Two hours later found him aboard the
ship. Adverse weather delayed the YES
sci, and at the dawn Of election day the
steamer was still out in the Atlantic.
Port was reached late in the afternoon,
and McAuliffe was just in time to take a
train to Providence due Just ten minutes
before the time for closing the polls.
The train was four minutes late.
Hurling himself into a hack he bribed
the driver to get to the wardroom in six
minutes or kill the horses. The clock
was about to strike the hour as Mr..
McAuliffe bounded into the booth. His
cross marks were made with lightning
rapidity, and he got in his ballot right
on the last stroke. He will return to
Cuba to complete the business he
dropped to come back to vote. And yet
there were some thousands of people in
Providence who, have no doubt, forgot
to go to the polls or were 'too busy to
give the time required for walking to
the wardroom. Cor. Boston Globe.
