that any Democratic aSpirants for Office
have been frightened from the field by
the ticket nominated at WilIleSbarrc
on Tuesday. 1t is one Of the kind that
can't scare Democrats. Considering the
material the delegates had to choose
from, they formed about as weak a com
bination for their party as any set Of
men who have gathered at the county
seat in years. The Democrats have an
opportunity to make strong fight this
year.

The rate of our natural increase of
population is, according to the census,
1.3S per cont-in other words, about
1000, 600 year. Add thereto, if the
present rate of immigration is MAIN
tained, an annual increase from that
source of $50, 600, and we will have, with
a total annual increase of 1850, 900,
about 70, 900, 600 people at the time of
the next census and the end of the pres
ent century. AT this rate not less than
20 generations will have gone down into
their graves before this country will see
a population as dense as that of Belgium
is today.
Are we not capable of supporting as
large population relatively as the
countries of Europe, and, if not, why
not? =, =

desires to make Il contest in the district
his opponent must be Il man who will

WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Regular Correspondent.

From our Regular correspondent
There Is a great deal more
in the announcement t h a t
the republican members OF
the H ouse Committee on
Ways and Means have begun
work ON the tariff bill which
they are to attempt to pcss
at the extra session OF t b e
next Congress to be held ear
ly in the spring, and thatthe
committee are to grant hear
ings to manufacturers at
On"e than appears upon the
surface. There are reasons TO
believe that this announce
ment was hurried up as a
part of the plan to elect re-
publican Senator's enough
to make a majority for that
party. The republican Steer
ing Committee OF the Senate
succeeded ip getting Mr.. Han
ma to undertake this job OF
electing Senators in Ken

everybody knows that b e
only lever Mr.. Hanna relies
upon for success IS money.

the committee they can be
shown that they are to get

The same talk about a mod

the republicans would really
like to see the bill made mod.

that the men w1o made re-
publican success possible this
year are determined that the
