Speaking of the congressional cam
pagn in this district, and the nomination

Marion Standard of this week says:
Perry county is considered good fight
ing ground, from the fact that no con-
gressional primaries were held in this
county and hence no one is bound to sup
port Underwood thereby. Our county ex-
ecutiYe committee, as is its custom, took
the bit in its teeth and ran away from

made to regret it.
If the editor of the Standard wants to
vote for Lawson, the nominee of the bolt
ing democrats, he has the right to do
So but he has no right to make such am
unjust attack as this upon the regular
democratic executive committee of the
county, one of the members of which is
a highly respectable citizen of this COM
munity. The "irregularity of the bosses,'
referred to by the Standard, was we'll
understood by the people of this coun-
ty and up to this good hour no other
voice has been raised in denunciation.
When the committee met it was found
that the time was so limited that 1t was
almost impossible to arrange for pri-
mary; there was no other candidate in
the field but Underwood, and the COM
mittee, by unanimous vote, appointed
the delegates without the useless waste
of time and money in holding primary
and voting for one man. And further
more, whether the democrats of Perry
county feel bound or not to support I'm
derwood, the democratic nominee of the
Ninth district, they are going to do so all
the same, Lawson and his lighting
chance to the contrary. nOtWithStan0-

Under present conditions you national
bankers clear profit of perhaps $780,
100000 year because of the popular su-
perstitions lowering like angels around
legislative halls of the nation. And in
addition to this you have, according to
statute law, absolute power over the cur
rency of the country. These are consid-
erations which you might be justly
proud. Maintain this immense power at
all hazards, and while you are enabled
to eXtort every year so much Of the earn
ings of industry your influence will be in
calculable to our united interests. By a
wise distribution Of a small portion Of
this vast sum among newspapers, state
legislatures, congressman, senator's, great
political chiefs and leaders, you can
guarantee the permanency of your
power.
1t is only by this means we can main
tain present conditions. Come down
literally to the campaign fund. Be not
penny wise and pound foolish. The an
archist Bryan must be defeated or we
are all lost; our power Is gone and ma
