OF Mr. Clarkson, eft Is no summer ex.
cursion" to carry an election. even I'M
der favorable conditions. Only work,
labor. II you please, can bring victory.
The Lord helps those who help them
selves. Lot II be Understood that vote
for the Democratic legislative ticket ls
a vote for ]. n. Camden for United
States senator; that a vote for John
Howard IL q vote to "wipe out the last
yestage OF protection" and. as Mr.. Will
son told the London chamber OF com.
merce, 70 tear down the detenses'
which Republicans erected to keep the
products Of. foreign cheap labor from
competing with American products In
our home markets. Let 1t be under

The opportunity has come in this
state for the people to vindicate their
patriotism. The Democratic tickets
stand for all the disaster that has come,
for tho imbecllity OF Democratic rule.
quote from a contemporary who says,
speakiug Of the campaign in another
state: THE day of reckoning and OF
PREPARATION, the hour when the humb-
lest citizen exercises the right OF SOW
ereign, the time when the people,
clothed with supreme authority, render
their verdict in the nightiest OF human
tribunals, is at hand. Every Republic
can ballot is mandate for the restora-
ton OF protection and tho resumption
OF prosperity. The election OF n Repub'
lican TO Congress will notify even the
most reckless bourbons that the task OF
striking down northern industries can
not be carried on, that the interests
half destroyed will be preserved from
further assault, aud that the homes OF
the north can no longer BIO made the
victims OF southern hostility and Brit.
ish ayerice." And 1t may be added
that the election OF Republican mem-
bers OF tho legislature means the defeat
OF johnson n. Camden or E. Willis
Wilson to the United States senate.
The Democracy Of o. the Fourth dis
trict have at length succeeded in ind
ing a candidate for congress in tho per-
sou OF Judge Harvey. Judge Warren
Miller will defeat him. Judge Harvey
is a nice man, but the fatal blow was
struck Mt his prospects for cleo
ton in the very convention which
nominated him, when the dele.
yates voted down resolution endorsing
Capehart's course IN congress. The
small majority by which this was done
showed that nearly half the convention
was in sympathy with Capohart. That
party should thus deliberately slap in
the face the leader OF 80 large a minori-
ty and not suffer for the act ia not rea-
sonable. Will Mr.. Capehart kiss the
hand that smote him? Will his friends
suller tho indignity to 20 unrebuEed?
guess not. 1t is well enough to in.
duige in sickly sentiment about being
Democrats, and forsiving and forget
ting, but even my limited observation
has taught me that there is about as
much human nature In the makeup OF
the average Democrat as there is in the
average man with other affiliations.

They are very poInted, and quote

independent, ''that il John A. Howard

explain why We have never seen John

wool Is not in evidence; why, on the
contrary, every product on the iarm has
decreased in value; why you pay the
same price for most Of your goods for
