A Significant Election,

The congressional election, in BANDS
old district in Missouri, has been watch
ed with more than ordinary interest in
all parts of the country, and bimetallists
have reason to rejoice over the result.
Many feared that the democratic ma
jority in the district was largely due to
the brilliant and sincerely mourned con
gresham Bland, and that Judge Shack
leford, the democratic nominee, would
not be able to command the support and
hold the vote of the former party leader
And the populists made nomination
of their own, and claimed that they
would poll 1000 votes in the district
The republican papers of the district,
and the big republican dailies of st.
Louis, urged the republicans to make a
supreme effort to secure favorable re.
suit, because loss would be construed
as a censure or want of confidence in
the Presidents Philippine policy.
The returns indicate that the popu.
lists are willing to cast their votes fol
democratic candidates while Bryan re-
mains the acknowledged leader. The
populists polled only scant 500 votes
and instead of losing, the democrats
made gains in Jefferson City and in ev
cry county in the district. The admin.
istration's war of conquest in Asia, its
nagging at Germany and its entangling
agreements with Great Britain are not
more popular with the masses in this
country than its trust building and trust
protecting policies.

Help the Cause.

There has never been a political cam
paign that will equal in Importance
that of the one to be fought next year.
The republican party, backed by the
money power of this country and
Europe, is alert and aggressive. Flush.
ed with the victory Of three years ago
it will seek by every means in Its power
to maintain its supremacy.
Democrats must be up and doing.
They must wage an unceasing war up
on their enemies. In no better and
more effective way can this be done
than bv the circulation of. good, sound
democratic newspapers. The publisher
of the Chicago Dispatch, the great natl
onal democratic weekly, will send to
every new subscriber for three months
copy of the Chicago Dispatch for ten
cents. If you are not already taking
the great political weekly, send in ten
cents at once. You should not only do
this yourself, but you should induce all
your friends to join with you. By a
little effort you can easily raise club
of ten or twenty subscribers.
The Chicago Dispatch is Endorsed by
William Jennings Bryan and other
democratic leaders.
