The campaign is rapidly drawing to a
close and the political situation shows
but little change. Efforts have been
made by the Republican press and
spell-binders to arouse the people by
the cry of national issues, but tie bait
is too stale and the people won t en-
thuse. On the other hand, Democracy
is making quiet campaign aud is get
ting the people enthused in matters
that are of far more import to them
chan some of the national issues"
There is no one, whether property own
er or renter who is not interested in
the amount of taxes paid. The Re
publican property owners of this coun-
ty know that the present condition of
affairs is not at all satisfactory and for
that reason they will not take up that
issue. Some of them, in a half-hearted
way, hint that the Democratic party is
not in earnest about the reform. Should
the nominees of that party be elected
they will see whether they are in ear
nest or not. The Republicans know
that they can expect no relief from
their own party, which is sold body AMI
soul to the trusts and corporations.
Tax reform is greater than any party
and is bound to win. The present sys-
TEN is virtually robbery on grand
scale. Giant corporations hold up
men of ordinary means and compel
them to pay tribute and the same cor
porations bride the men who are CHI
to safeguard the interests OF the m IS
of the people by presenting EN- "
a piece of pasteboard that will be an
open sesame on ali journeys. Then
when these officials meet to pass judg-
ment on this same hydra-headed mon
ster, they sell their birthright for a
mess of pottage and bottle of cham
payne In the excitement attending
these feasts the common people are for
gotten only to be remembered when
election time comes again. Every hon.
est voter should vote against the men
who have thus failed to perform their
plain duty in this matter.
