to enter actively and aggressively
the field of politics in canvass

from GAINESVILLE will make the
race. Cook towers among these
like a giant oak in great forest.
In ability he reminds us of Thos. B.
Reed when that gentleman spoke
of his colleagues in Congress- Reed
said there was only one man there
worthy of his steel, and that was
George Crisp of Georgia. We
don't know which one of these gen
5lemen is the Crisp In this can

| Senator Harris says that it would
be better for the Democratic party
if they did not have majority in
the next House, as that would aff-
ford the Republicans an opportunity
to shift the responsibility for fail
ure to enact trust legislation. If
the Republicans have majority
they will be incapable of enacting
any measure which the tru its dis
approve, and there will be NO one
on which to place the responsible
ity for their failure to heed the
demands of the people. Senator
Harris is not the only politician
who takes this view of the situa
ton. Representative Joe Manley,
Republican, from Maine, says that
it will be better for his party to
lose the control of the next House.
He says that with Republican
Senate the Democrats will be I'M
able to accomplish anything and
the people will then turn again to
the Republicans in 1904, not taking
into consideration the real cause
for Democratic failure to pass
needed legislation. Senator Vest
expressed this opinion Immediate
y after the adjournment of Con
yress and frankly told your cor
that he hoped the
Democrats would not win this year.
