DEMOCRACY a UNIT.
Everyone Is Working For the Sue
cess of the Ticket.

! AS the smoke of the recent battle
clears away, it becomes more and more
apparent to all that the entire Demo
cratic ticket will be elected this fall.
! Although the strife in the convention
was lively it was not of bitter nature,
and those who delude themselves with
the idea that Democracy is disrupted,
will find themselves mistaken when the
votes are counted. Republicans are
wont to go round stating that Roberts
| will not poll the strength of his party,
but Democrats are declaring loyalty to
the ticket.
| AS a matter of fact the Republican
party in this state has started out with
the intention of making a grand, big
bluff. With nothing on which to base
an argument in favor of any policy
adopted, the members are telling what
a weak ticket the Democracy has, CIV
| ing no consideration TO the candidates
nominated by their own state conven-
ton. Another point they make is eX-
pressed in the words of a member of
the state committee: You Democrats
do not give US credit for having any
strength at all, and that is where We
are going to fool you on election day.
Now, as a matter of fact, that is
where the state committeeman men
toned has been fOoling himself. The
! Democracy has been making the Re-

had no strength, but is going into this
campaign with a firm determination
to work as hard as it ever did to
achieve a victory. With all the pros
poets for victory sure, ii will labor as
increasingly for a triumph as though
there were overwhelming odds to con-
tend against.
There IS unity in the Democratic
party; as much as two years ago, when
this count. was wreSted from the
hands of it's des9oilers- and the state
was redeemed and placed in the Demo-
cratic column. The ticket which has
been nominated will receive as cordial
support as it did at that time, and the
ajority will be nearly as great. or
course there is not the interest felt in
this campaign as there was at that
time, for president was to be elected
then, and perhaps larger proportion
of the vote, all told. Democrats and
Republicans, was Dolled at that time.
Eut interest enough in the situation
confronting the voters is being aroused
to cause every Democrat to go to the
polls, and they are going to vote for
the nominees of the Democratic con-
ventions, both state, county and legis-
lative.
In every campaign which has been
engaged in since the division on party
lines, the Tribune has pursued policy
calculated to create an impression that
confusion prevails in the ranks of the
Democracy. 1t attempts to spread dis
sension by false reports, but has ever
signally failed. Having no arguments
to make against the principles of the
party. il tries a scheme which it has
attempted to work over and over again
without avail Personal abuse viii be
the next resort, and very soon the mud
batteries Of the organ of the united
opposition may be expected to open on
several OF the candidates with all the
venom and vehemence at its command.
1t has tried that game in the past, and
never yet won victory. The Tribune
ought in the opinion of all who have
watched it's course, try a new scheme.
This fashioned bunco, pea under the
shell. three monte plan has been
played to a finish. Every one is on.
