The democratic primary cleo. ton for choosing candidates for city offices takes place next Wed nesday. The question "who will be entitled to yote?" is frequently heard. The resolution adopted al, the mass meeting says Gall white democratic voters. This, of course, if strictly adhered to, bars all white persons who are not avowed democrats, and hence bars some fifteen or twenty white citi- zens. It is stated by Mr. Barker the author of the resolution, that this was not his intention, and,the matter having been quite thor oughIy discussed, it seems to be the concensus of opinion that these citizens should and will be allowed to participate. The resolution cannot be amended now, but the judges are the sole judges of the qualifications of electors, and it is quite probable they will permit all white electors to participate in this primary.

 Hon. Clay Sloan, who is now canvassing the First Congressional District as candidate for the dem- ocratic nomination for congress man, has sent out a circular letter defining his position upon public issues. A friend has kindly sent us one, and We briefly outline it below. He stands upon the demo- cratic platform of 1896 as to the is- sues passed upon at that time. Upon the new question of colonial possessions he is opposed to re- ,taining the Philippines, either as territory looking to statehood. or as colonies to be ruled by a gov ernor general and the Military and on this subject we wish to quote him verbatim because bis words voice our sentiments exact. ly on this question While feel that there is intelligence and honesty enough among the inhabi- tants of those islands 10 form and adrainister government that would insure to them a liberty and civilization 10 their satisfaction, l do not believe th ey will ever reach a point in patriotism where they would be qualified to participate Tn the government of people So exalted in their ideas of liberty and equal justice as are the peo pie of the United States. To con trol them as colonies, under mili tary rule, would be- for us, who cherish so much our own inde pendent government and the mem ory of the fathers who founded it to become in our turn oppressors by refusing 10 those people the right to establish a government which would fully meet their ideas of liberty, and in every way bs satisfactory to them. And anoth- CT, and more potent reason is that l am opposed to the burden some and pauperizing tax it would be necessary to place on our owr people 10 sustain the great militia " force requisite to the subIuga ton and control of those islands which, in its turn, would menace the bulwarks of our own liberty. Upon the money and bond ques' ton Mr. Sloan is enthusiastic, and advocates the democratic doctrine Closing he says: "Born and reared in Lawrence county, na, tive of this District, in buslness a farmer and stockman, 1 feel that have a knowledge of the interest and desires of my people, and promise to bring to their service in Congress, if elected. all the ear. nestness, industry and ability that I nossass

That's true. said the surgeon
gravely. "Iu be back before mid

awkwardly by the half open door.
