One OF the boys VAS tellis' me that
there was goin' to be lots Of demo
Gratis IN this county vote the repub-
lican ticket this fall and he said the
way he knew It was By 90 many 81 'em
comm into the republican primaries
and votln' and ssignitiin,, their inten-
lions to stay by Metropolitan ecandi-
dates st the polls. Farmer Ben 10 al
ways glad to see recruits comm to
Join the ranks and he only hopes that
their conversion ID after the old fash

? Lots Of the school ,tr ustees in the.
county are kickin' st the scheme to
form . teachers trust to keep wages
up high and not let: anybody take q
school under q set hgeer and have 81
regular union. !. TEose that are adm
and abettin' this com bination scheme
ain't very popular or very gumption-:
Gus either. There is such q thing as

i I've been readin' the platforms Of
the republicans laid down at Philadel..
phia and St. Paul and Dodge Center
and 1 tell you they all have the same
ring. There ANITA bit Of gloom IL /
any Of them. ia hate to belong to q
party whose only capital was misfor-
tune and disaster and gloom, that
gets into q dark cave where the sun
don't shine and then sets up q eternal
howl and whine at everything, goin' to
the dogs and that is knocked out fat
when prosperity and good times and
Industries are plenty. The
Lord didn't make Farmer Ben that
way. ! like: to see folks have good
times and prosper and be happy and
have plenty to eat and wear and q
little extra for fancy things, and some
surplus to lay up ifor@A rainy day.
That's the way the repu blican plstt
forms size up the situation ,and they
make mighty cheerful readin'. I
NY paper says thst The rehel leaders'l
over ID the Filipines. are gettin' wheresI
Dld Lee was In '65 and IRE askin' for
terms. They'll get 'em too, Uncle
Sam never went in there to do injus-
tice and to rough ride over the rights
Of others. l notice that they are
arawin' up reconstruction articles for
both sides to approve and Uncle Sam
has promised the rebels in 20 many
words that "all personal rights under
the United States consti tuition, ex-
cepting trial by jury and the right to
bear arms, will be guaranteed to 'em."
That's the stuff. When they get the
Filipines fixed up, they ought to catch
all the ''anti" tomcats in this country
that has been yowlin' and scratchin'
and spittin' and standin' their hair
up and put 'em all In q sack and
drown 'em. A"z - IA 3: e. 5@s ass -
Amt it funny that off1ce holders
can't let 20 the public .teat when
they've got rich enough out Of it and
don't want it any longer without die
latin who shall have the next pull at
The teat? It looks like some folks
thought they owned the Offices and
they have the gall to order the people
10 vote for the feller they dictate for
the next one in succession. l don't
believe the people are goin' to stand
and have this thing punched down
their throats with q sausage filler
protestin'. The people own
The offices and when q feller gets
through with one, it goes back to the
people to say who the next one will
be. This dictatin', forcin', obstrep.
'rous, threatenin' and bossy attempt
1t doin' the voters don't go down in
his free country. Such need to be
on hard.
