Vote It Straight.

Why should a Republican scratch
his ticket this fall? There is prin-
ciple involved in the ballot. Vote
for what you believe to be right and
what you believe to be the best
policies for this government.
The Republicans are in the
majority in this county. That be-
ing the case, we should elect every
man on our ticket. All that is nee
essary In voting is to make a cross
in the circle at the top of the
ticket, that is vote for the whole
Republican ticket. Why should a
Republican scratch a single name
on his ticket: The Republican
nominee is at least as good man
and as we'll qualified as his Dem
ocratic opponent, then why not
vote her straight and fully uphold
the principles you believe?
If a Republican nominee is beat
en- in this county this fall, he is
beaten by Republican votes. Sup
pose you have personal friend on
the other ticket. He may be a
good man and a good citizen, but
he is wrong politically. Give him
to understand that there is a prin-
ciple at stake. Already the Dem
ocratic candidates are around with
their blandest smiles looking for
Republican votes. They know they
can't be elected without them.
Some of the Democrats claim they
have majority in this county. Let
them use it then, but let us not er.
courage them by scratching. They
will vote straight ticket and then
hoodo as many Republicans as
possible.
Put a cross in the circle and be
sure and don't mark it anywhere
else and you make no mistake.

city have greatly increased and the
city run in debt, it strikes the aver
age voter that he might make as
signal failure in the manipulation
of the states finances.
Then that criticism of the Rep
ublican party for not enforcing the
prohibition law when the city OF
which he is mayor is full of joints
and open saloons, which he took an
oath to suppress. 1t always sounds
little fiat to hear a Democrat de-
Tending the old soldiers. And when
Mayor Craddock undertook to
criticise Governor Stanley for his
unfairness to the old soldiers, he
forgot that he removed the only old
soldier he had on his police force to
make room for an ex-convict.
The would.be Governor is very
fine looking speciman of manhood
and had he decided to keep his
mouth shut and saw wood during
the campaign might have received a
respectable minority vote. How
ever, if he keeps up this senseless
twaddle of his about what he will do
as governor, and attacking the Rep
ublican party on points on which he
is so weak, he will not be even able
to engage passage in that vessel
that takes its trip up the river after
each election.

The average yearly increase in
tonnage In American vessels under
the Mckinley tariff law was a2S
thousand, and under the Dingley
law for the first four years it was
annually s39 thousand while for
1000 it was 600 thousand making an
average of nearly 400 thousand tons
carrying capacity built each year
during the life of the Dingley law.
The ship building interests of this
country have doubled from 1890 to
1900. Mainly on account of the
increased commercial activity made
by the protective policy of the Rep
ublican party.

if he believe Bryan's prophecies
have come true, that McKinley's
election would mean two cent pork
and ten cent corn, and that there
would be no more Fourths of July;
if he believe times have grown worse
instead of better during the Repub.
lican administration, then his duty
is clear and he should not only vote
the Democratic ticket but should
work heart and soul for Its success.
But, on the other hand, if man
believe in the great principle of pro-
lection to American industries from
the evil of cheap labor in the old
world; if he believe it is better to
employ our workingmen and build
up thereby great home market for
our products; if he believe that the
great army of American laborers
should be employed at remunerative
wages and thereby enabled to Sc
cure homes for themselves and fam
lilies and educate their children; if
he believe in a sound currency that
is taken at its face value the world
over; if the fires of patriotism burn
in his breast and he believes our
army is the best and noblest body
of soldiery ever assembled; if he
believe in country of expansion
and progress and that the American
flag should protect and hallow every
foot of ground on which American
blood has been spilled; if he believe
that times are good and money
plentiful and that conditions are
and will be in much better shape
for all classes, and our nation more
prosperous and people more happy
under a continuation of Republican
policies; if he believe that Bryan
was mistaken and that prices have
ranged better since Republican pol
icies were adopted, and that the
Fourth of July will continue to be
celebrated by Americans the world
over; if he believe it better policy
to build up home enterprises and
home markets, and pay our money
to our own laborers instead of send
ing it abroad for foreign goods,
giving employment to foreign labor
instead of home; if he believe, in
other words, in the great American
policy of home enterprise and home
labor and home markets, he should
unhesitatingly vote the Republican
ticket.
The Republican party has always
faithfully clung to these principles,
fulfilled every promise and made
good its every prediction. The
confidence, business enterprise and
prosperity to all classes which we are
now enjoying are the results of Re-
publican policies. A continuation
of Republican power in all branch
es of the government means con-
tinuation of these prosperous condi-
tions. A change means depression,
panics and paupers.

what you want, and vote accord.

Americans, were instantly killed,
near Paris, one day last week. They
were riding in speedy automobile

wrong with the machine and it turn

Not Sincere.

The great reform candidate for
Governor seems a little unfortunate
in his criticisms and his pledges.
In the first place his promise to cut
taxes in two in the middle, should
he be elected governor, is an ab-
solute absurdity on its face and only
makes laughing stock of the great
reformer. Then when it is known
that he was elected mayor of Kan
sas City on the same pledges and
that the taxes remained practically
the same and the expenses of the

Moki Snake Dance to Take Place
on Aug. 20.
Festivities Begin on August IL
and Last 8 Days.
A TRIP TN WAGONS

Painted Desert
Gives Tourists a Few Days OF
Genuine Camp Life.

Announcements have Just been re-
ceiyed by the Santa Fe that the cele-
brated Moki snake dance Will probably
take place on August 20. Arrange
Inents are being made to accommodate
the usual rush of tourists to this pc
culiar pagan ceremony in which the
Pueblo Indians dance with live rattle
snakes in their hands.
The announcements say "prOba bly,
when giving the date for the dance.
That is one of the peculiar things about
the Moki dance. 1t is preserved with
nearly all of original sentiment. and
even the big railroad corporations can
not find out exactly when the event is
going to take place. Like Mrs c. Ma
ton, the programme presented Is likely
to be postponed or changed at the last
minute.
However, it is reasonably certain that
the Molxi dance will begin about August
IL and will continue till the goth, the
concluding day being the day of the
snake dance.
The province of Tusayan, or Moki
reservation, comprises 1000 square miles
and is inhabited by 1900 Indians, who
are grouped in seven villages on three
high neSaS near the southern border
Oraibi on the west mesa, where the
most interesting festivities are to take
place, is peopled by Indians who are
more conservative than those of the
other villages, but they are wholly
friendly to strangers. The dance there
Is said to be better than the ones to be
held at Shipaulovi and Sichomovi, or

This novel dance is an elaborate affair

quires that all visitors to the Mok
