Mena is the place for the county seat, and If we move it there more capital will come to Polk county, and of course that means money to us farmers.

will not recount the painful
history, nor dwell upon the depIor-
able condition of our local Democ-
racy. 1t is but difficult to speak of
this branch of the party in the
language of polite correspondence.
Let it here suffice to say that our
local Democracy is under the do
minion of a man who has been pub
Hcly charged with having openly
and notoriously purchased votes on
last election day. This charge has
been strongly supported by the
sworn and recorded testimony of
several citizens; yet, although this
crime against the elective fran
chise is a blow at the very heart
of our liberty, a crime more dread
ful in its consequences than murder
or open treason, no citizen has yet
manifested sufficient confidence in
the Democratic officers who are
charged with conducting public
prosecutions to even file a COM
plaint against this alleged Of
fender.-James G. Mcguire.

VIM. n. Lamphrey is the regular Re
publican nominee for County Clerk.
Mr.. Lamphrey is an old line Republi-
can, one of the "old guard" who has
in and out of season battled for the
party, never wavering and never dis
couraged. He is a hard working man,
one who knows what early and late
labor and trying toll is. He is thor
oughly competent man for the office to
which he aspires, since he Is highly in
telligent, is keen observer, correct
and prompt in business methods, and
enjoys an enviable reputation for in
tegrity and strict business methods.
Mr.. Lamphrey filed his first official po-
sition as Assistant Sergeant alarms OF
the Assembly a few years ago, and won
universal commentator as the best
official ever filing the position. Mr..
Lamphrey has to- contest with the pres
ent incumbent Clerk, who IS conceded
to be a strong man. It behooves Re
publieans, therefore, to give more than
generous support to their nominee, and
to make his election sure.

National and State Issues.

From the Oakland Enquirer
Theodore Roosevelt, in accepting the
Republican nomination for Governor of
New York, makes the remark that ma
tlonal issues are paramount this year.
1t is not more possible" he says, ito
conduct a State election now without
regard to national issues than it was
possible SO to conduct one in 1861 or
1905. AS it then was, SO it now is
the interest of the nation as a whole
which is of vital and absorbing inter-
est TO every citizen. Then, as now,
the republican party was forced to
ma new issues, to confront new prob
lens. Then, as now. it was forced to
make precedents.'
While some will put it upon one
ground and some upon another. every
| voter fells the commence of the ma
tlonal issues to which Colonel Roosevelt
refers. 1t is recognized that the ques-
tons confronting the national govern
ment at this time, the problems to be
solved and the differences between sue
cess and failure are far greater than in
the case Of the State Government In
the East the State elections will turn
on national issues and if in California
the same thing does not occur, it is
pound to be misunderstood. Theoreti
cally State issues should be kept dis
tlnct from national issues, and State
oTncers should be elected on local, not
on national, issues; but the precedents
are the other way, and California can
| not afford to be the sole exception. If
Gage and the rest of the State ticket
should be beaten, it would be accepted
as declaration against the Mckinley
administration and the Republican
party's policy of sound finance.
We have had a foreign war, and with
it series of events which involved
the Government in most serious re-
sponslbilities, and the coming election
will be regarded as constituting the
| verdict Of the country upon McKinley's
policy. The question is, will the coun-
try approve or disapprove, and on
| which side shall California take her
place? Shall she be counted as ap-
| proving or disappearing the inter-
ference in Cuba in the interest of hu-
manity? Shall she go on record as
commencing or condemning the NTH
| cd of prosecuting the war? Is she to
| be considered as rejoicing in the new
luster which has been added to the
glory Of American arms through the
exertions Of the Mckinley adminis-
tration or is she Indifferent? Does
she think the Administration deserves
an Endorsement for what 1t has done
to make the United States a grander
nation than it was before?
These questions are to be answered
| at the election, and, if the answer is
to be in favor of the national Admin
istration 1t must be given by electing
the Republican ticket for State officers
| and for Congressman.

THE ADVOCATE VS.. THE CANDI-
DATE.

The Los Angeles Herald" says that
a concert Of European Powers to crush
or drive out the anarchists is probable.
There is but one State in Europe
where these people are harbored-
Switzerland If Europe prevails upon
that nation, or compels it to refuse ref
uge to the anarchists, then, says our
Los Angeles contemporary, there is no
country to which they can so well en-
igrate as the United States.
But experience Of three-quarters Of
a century with the doctrine that this
country is the asylum of the oppressed
of all nations, and the open door for all
manner of political refugees, has mod
flied American sentiment materially
regarding that policy, and now we
| legislate against the dangerous classes
coming in. Therefore the feeling has
become universal, adds our contenl-
porary, that especially the violent of
the Objectionable classes should be
| barred out
The class Europe proposes now to
forcibly expel is the most dangerous to
| peace and order and, will be more
dangerous to US than TO Europe, be-
cause we have not her we'll organized
and ubiquitous constabulary and gems
darmes, and our criminal laws are not
as energetically and vigorously en-
forced" The Herald therefore con-
cludes that our immigration laws must
be made more restrictive and be more
vigorously enforced.
The Herald" is the ablest, most en-
ergetic and influential of the California
press supporting James G. Mcguire
That candidate for the Governorship OF
California voted and spoke against a
bill in Congress intended to do precise
ly what the Herald" his partisan
champion, insists must be done. Mr.
Mcguire in that speech declared in sub
stance that it would be not only unwise
but unjust to include in the restrictive
| bill anarchists and nihilists. for while
| some of them We're violent, there are
many among them, he said, who are
finely educated men; besides, he de-
clared with emphasis. that these same
anarchists and nihilists are battling
| against tyranny and wrong and con-
| tending for God-given rights. Candi-
/ date Mcguire and the Mcguire Her
| ald' should have a seance and square
themselves with one another.

The true alignment Of the parties
in this campaign is this-for approval
and support Of the Administration in
the prosecution of the war and the
placement of the nation upon a higher
and nobler plane Of excellence; against
the Administration and its policy, and
rebuke Of the President for his wise,
safe and deliberate discharge of af-
fairs in a most critical and troublous
time. Looking at this alignment from
the vantage ground Of an independent
newspaper which seeks only the high
est, greatest good of the whole coun-
try In all things, regardless of partisan
predictions. the Record Union" holds
that there is but one choice for the
thoughtful voter, and that is to sup
port the Republican party now and in
November at the ballot box.

ty, an office he has twice ably filed

enthusiasm and energy Of a strong
manhood 1t is essential that in this ma
tional crisis. when the combined opposl-
ton is doing it's utmost to discredit
the Administration, that California
should send up to Washington a Re
publican delegation to give the Presi-
dent its support, and thus forward the
national policy that is placing the
United States in the front rank of ma
tions, and commanding for Americans
respect where before they received only
the cold and formal recognition en-
forced by treaty. The issues Of the
campaign are national issues, and every
effort to obscure and belittIe that fact
is intended 10 misIead and deceive the
voter. 1t being vital necessity that
the next Congress shall be strongly Re
publican, it is therefore the duty of the
voters of the Second District to stand
together for the Republican nominee,
whose record is clean, and whose abn-
tty is unquestioned.

THE SINGLE TAX AND THE
MINER.

Mr.. Gage, the Republican candidate
for Governor, in his speech in San
Francisco on Saturday night, turned
another leaf to view in the record of
his opponent, Mr.. Mcguire He read
from a speech made in Congress by
Mr.. Mcguire in 1894 wherein he urged
the single tax doctrine, and denied the
right of the miner to take ore from his
own mine or separate gold from the
gravel. Yet all Of Mr. Maguire's po-
sitions in Congress the Democratic
convention by express declaration has
adopted and commended. In the
speech referred to Mr.. Mcguire was
quoted by Mr.. Gage as saying:
"The margin of production, which is
now. the share of the non-producer,
would go to the entire community for
the general benefit of ALL This would

THE TRICKERY OF THE SPANISH
IN CUBA.

The latest advices from Cuba are to
the effect that the Spanish declare they
cannot evacuate the island at an early
day. Indeed, they do not know when
they can get out, and decline to even
begin to prepare for it.
This has amazed the American Com
missioners and they are making the
wires hot with dispatches on the sub
ject to the Federal Government On
the heels of this news is the advice
that General Blanco has rescinded the
order disbanding the auxiliary troops
in Cuba.
OF course as long as there IS a drop
of juice left, the Spanish will continue
to squeeze the Cuban orange. They
will never let go as long as we permit
them to collect the revenues, confiscate
property, levy extortionate taxes, and
exercise local governmental control
with military dictator in charge.
The protocol calls for immediate
evacuation. In Porto Rico that has be-
gun. Spanish troops are moving out
Of posts, and American troops are TAX

Precisely as we expected-since Cen
eral Joe Wheeler has testified before
the Investigation Committee and has
given the lie to the yellow ISLANDERS OF
the sensational press, the assault upon
the old veteran has commenced from
the opposition press. Here, for IN
stance, is the Stockton MAIL" which
out-herods Herod in its advocacy Oh
Mcguire and all he represents, includ-
ing excuses for his single tax record,
while admitting that General Wheeler
is the soul Of truth, declares that ne
is another Uncle Toby and has ultl-
mate hope Of the reformation of the
devil" And it adds, that clearly Gen
eral Wheeler is bound to make ugly
facts look as we'll as possible" But the
humor of this sort of criticism is in the
wind up, in which the Mail, with as
sumed gravity and with an attempt 10
appear sincere, declares that after all,
General Wheeler's testimony 'substan-
tiates all the charges of the Eastern
press" That caps the climax of par
tisan prejudice and warped judgment.

surdity
