EIGHTH DISTRICT.

10 the average man who watches
events and the turn of affairs, it seems
that politics are discussed more during
Democratic hard times like these than
they are under a prosperous admins
tration. 1t is true, that we all prefer q
good and clean adm nlstration of the
affairs of our Government, to the men.

indulging in the Kilkenny cat fight in
our Capital City; but aside from this,
it is III duty to study closely the quail.
fcations and capability of our candi-
dates for Congress. For more than two

of Mr.. Brownlow. His outlook for the
nomination and a sweeping victory is
more encouraging than could be ex-
pected so early in the contest. No man
can truthfully deny but that the Brown.
low star is rising brighter and brighter
" e the political horizon the more his
name is discussed for Congress. 1t has
arose this time to shine on in a steady
and luminous way until he is seated in
Congress by a majority of more than
10000 votes. The sentiment for him
grows stronger every day, and to any

low" every time. We are a unit, and
propose to push his claims with all the
energy we can, because we are desir-
Gus to honor a deserving and represen-
tative man. Who can successfully dis.
pute that Mr.. Brownlow is not by far
and decidedly the most representative
nan among all the candidates who are
asking the recognition of our peopleY
We know from our own observation,
that he positively has the inside track
and advantage over any of the promi-
nentmen in our Congressional District,
when it comes to being well on to the
ropes and details of whatever business
that may come before any of the de-
partments of our Government. During
the whole of his connection with tn
departments in our Capital City he has
shown his ability and work by serving
and aiding his people in the highest
functions. and that too without the
power and influence behind him as
Congressman. His popularity and rep,l-
tation in Washington as a typical Re-
publican and leader is undisputed, and
to elect him to the next Congress will
give the loyal old First District much
prominence before our party and the
council of Republican leaders through
out the nation. The prospects for his
success so early is gratifying to his
many friends who will keep up the fight
until he is seen in Congress. The SELL
timent of the people is ripe for him.
They investigate more than they used
to when a candidate offered himself for
their suffrage. They see that Mr..
Brownlow has the most solid claims.
This is his year. He deserves the honor
and is sure to win. 1t is not right to
work a good and faithful servant who
has helped us 80 materially without
giving him more influence and more
ability to assist those who may need
assistance in the future. No young
man can afford to waver nor falter in
pushing his claims, for he has always
shown himself our most solid friend.
He allows no opportunity to pass when
it comes to encouraging our boys. To
the boy who possesses ambition and an
aspiration to make a man, his support
is always forthcoming. Let us young
men rally our forces under the Brown,
low banner and help place him in a
position to render us more substantial
aid in the future than he has in the
past. Give us our choice and we will
roll up the heaviest majority any can
didate has had since the war. x.
