Clerk of Court Purinton is un-
fortunately situated this fall with
sickness in the family and is
therefore unable to make u per
sonal canvass. The Courier be-
lieves that he will be reelected
just the same because the people
are satisfied with his record as
clerk of court. We hope that q
majority of the voters of Grigggs
county will give him their votes
on Novem Der 9th.

Bryan says that more trusts
have been formed under the
present than under all previous
administrations. If so. there
must have been u strong induce
ment,-a vast amount of busi-
ness for them to transact. We
never hear of trusts being ex-
tensively organized in bad times.
Then, too. the investment of
money always means more en-
ployment for wage workers and
a benefit to labor. Capital may
be utterly dissipated, but in the
course of the venture it must pay
wages. Trusts may go down tc
disaster. and fail to return any
profits to capital. but they must
pay wages and benefit labor as
long as they continue in busi
ness. The one class certain tc
gain is labor. Workingmen un
derstand all this a great deal bet
ter than Bryan does.

The state of Louisiana cot tire,

The state of Louisiana got tired
of shooting ''niggers" to prohibit
them from voting SO adopted an
educational qualitca ton" This
did some of the work, but for
fear the "niggers" would educate
themselves, so they could vote,
the school boards of the state
are now prohibiting any colored
person attending any department
of the public school above the
primary department. Think of
it, good people, how would you
like to have your child kicked out
of school when it had finished
the primary work. This may
make good democrats in Louisi-
ana, but will it make good citi-

Great is Tammany. and Crok
er is its prophet. Croker is all
right.
Thus Bryan who poses as a
great political reformer promises
and endorses one of the mostcor-
rupt political bosses the world
has ever known, and a political
gang whose very existence is
made possible by the sale Of
privileges to live in vice and
commit crimes. If Bryan is
sincere he is as corrupt as
Tammany If he ISM t sincere he
is political hypocrite.

say of County Judge Carleton S
predecessors, they cam say it of
him. For since he has been in
that office it has been run in good

fitted for the position and we
think the voters will so decide

In his Cooper Union speech in

could not complain if the Fill

that kind of language:
Heretofore Bryan charged all

that the country approves the
PHILIPPINE policy, he maligns the
nation itself.
