here are a few which will help a lit
tie.
Beginning the first week of the COM
mittees active work 16,976,975 'docu-
ard" pages, were handled, and the last
of the shipping was done in ample
time to get all the documents" ac-
tually in the hands of the voters.
There was no surplus of millions of
pages as there often has been: there
was no burning of them to get rid of
them, and no perfunctory and useless
eleventh hour distribution In the high
ways and byways where no one would
read them

Cuisines End" of Campaign work
Comparatively few readers probably
understand that the real business
ehd OF campaign committees work
is the printing and distribution of
campaign literature literature. but 80
It is, and In these days this has grown
TO such vast proportions that only an
expert can possibly carry il on with
economy and efficiency.
When Mr.. Hanna took charge of the
campaign in 1896 he determined to
put the printing and distributing bu-
reau OF the committee into expert
hands. Through his connection with
the Tarin League, Of which he was an
of1cer, he knew that Mr.. Wakeman
mad reduced the printing and distri-
button Of political literature to a
science. So he asked Wakeman to ex-
pand his force and take charge Of the
bureau for the committee. He con-
sented, and the result was that more
pieces" Of literature. by millions,
were distributed than ever before
Also the cost was less, and the distri-
button was almost infinitely better
the pieces" were actually placed in
the hands of voters; not simply scat
tered--and the voters who received
them, furthermore, were of the sort
likely to be Influenced.
A Judge of Campaign Literature.
Both Mr.. Hanna and Mr.. MCKINLEY
believed that the big Mckinley ma
Jorities were in great measure attribu-
table to Wakeman's skllful distribu-
ton. Coins Financial School," an
exceedingly clever argument for six
teen to one free coinage, had enjoyed
great vogue for several years. and,
undoubtedly had made many converts.
1t was believed that it's influence could
be overcome IL the right sort of single
standard literature could be got d.
rectly to the voters. and after the
votes were counted Mr.. Wakeman got
plenty Of praise. Four years later
and quite naturally, Wakeman was
asked to undertake the task a second
time. Again he carried II through
with great success.
His Tariff League Work.
This year there was some question
as to whether he should be asked to
be the committees executive head in
printing and distribution. but the I'M
certainty was short. Mr.. Cortelyou
made an arrangement with Mr.. Wake
man and the Tariff League, practically
similar to that made by Mr.. Hanna
four and eight years earlier, and Wake
man carried out his part of the con-
tract with the same efficiency and
economy as before.
To say this and nothing more can
mean but little to one not on the in
side. In fact. the magnitude OF the
work undertaken and carried through
by the Tariff League on behalf Of the
committee cannot be made completely
clear even with the aid of figures, but

Dear Sir: Devp is worth 81 or S.
a gallon, put on; how much is an
other paint worth?
Depends on how many gallons
you've got to put on, to be equal to
one of Devoe.
Mr. JJHall Sheffield, Pa, painted
two houses one coat, five years ago,
lead-and.oil, took 40 gallons.
Last summer bought 40 gallons
Deve for same houses; had 10 gal.
Ions left.
Mr. N Avery. Delhi, N. Y. owns 3
houses exactly alike; painted one
with Deve; took 6 gallons. The
other with some other; took IL gal

rs,onths ia pay all the outstanding war;
rants that exist today-that is, April,
May and June. July ought to see ey-
eryone of the present warrants paid
4The next 100000 of warrants will
probably be paid in August--that is
all issued in April-and all of Mays
warrants I'm September or October
Then all the warrants issued after May
will certainly be paid in November,
those from June on.
This refers to the whole thing, the
Governor said answering question as
to whether salary warrants were in
cluded. He proceeded to say:
aIt is easy for anyone to estimate
lust what the discount should be in
order to let the bankers net per
cent per annum. at which rate they
are probably prepared to discount war
rants to an unlimited extent, as their
correspondents abroad are perfectly
able to rediscount the paper Possibly
competition may stin further reduce
the discount-it may go from 81 L
to ss or even 90.
| "smau investors having money stor-
ed away In trunks are waking up 70
the fact that they may earn son'etnins
by taking up these warrants. for they
have a security which has the whole
Territory of Hawaii behind 1t, there
being no longer any doubt as TO tne
LEGALITY Of the warrants.

for $4,000 of warrants and has neariy

AS the situation now stands, the local
banks win not lend half million doi-
lars to the Government, under the
Depositary Act of the special session,
for the payment of outstanding war
rants. Should. however. this attitude
of the banks be maintained, the fact
does not mean that the Territory is
thrown back uron it's financial haunch-
es. This consolation is tangible one,
according to a full statement of the
case of the Treasury given to an Ad-
vertfser reporter by Governor Carter
yesterday afternoon A conference
held by the Governor with Treasurer
A. j. Campbell and Messrs. Cooke.
Damon. spalding and Cooper, repre-
senting the four American banks re-
spectively, had just been closed
.aThe bankers did not want to lend
afly money" the Governor said. When
asked whether they had thus finally
decided, he answered:
Practically they have. on the adj
vice of their attorneys that. under the
Organic Act. the Territory has not au-
thority to borrow money to meet a
casual deficit. I should like to meet
their attorneys. as think there is
another phase of the situation which
they have not considered.
..The bankers are, however. discount
ing warrants at only IL per cent
and are ready to discount at even less

nominate candidates for the several
county Offices and as the suggestion
of candidates is now in order | wish
to present the name of Maj. w. Hop

Body on It's Way to
Moniac Cemetery
For Burial.

Baxter, Fla, Sept. 17.-TWelve
of the men alleged to have been inn
plicated in the killing of Deputy
Sheriff Thrift came in town to-day
and surrendered to Sheriff Herndon.
They were quickly started for Jack
sonville ON a special train under
guard of the military. Those sur
rendering, in addition to the eight
men arrested yesterday, were Chas.
Altman and Hilary Altman, who
are charged with the murder OF
Jackson Duncan and the negro, Jim
Riley. Jesse Altman had been hid
ing since yesterday and came in by
himself. Hilary Altman has a bad
wound in the right shoulder. None
of the others was wounded. Sheriff
Herndon and his deputies have the
situation we'll in hand and no more
trouble is anticipated.
A sad and striking incident of the
whole affair accurred this morning.
Just as the party of men were COM
ing in to give themselves up, the
funeral cortege hearing the body of
Deputy Sheriff Thrift started to
leave the building where it had re-
manned since the killing.
AS the horsemen reached the rail
road track, coming from the south,
the funeral party reached the oppo-
site side of the track. The murder
ed mans body and the men charged
with his murder met directly on the
crossing. Each party continued its
way without paying any attention
to the other.
The body Of the dead deputy. was
taken to the cemetery near Moniac
and there buried.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.


Board and Asks for Their Re-
EIectiOn---Praise for all
Our County Officers.
To the Voters of Wayne County,
This writer has resided in Wayne
county for twenty-five years and has
n,Aver known the county roads to be
in as good condition, nor the Jail and
county poor-house to be more nicely
kept than at the present time.
The county finances, also, are in
fine shape and the treasurer is in a
position to pay dollar for dollar on
all outstanding Indebtedness as bills
become due and are presented.
The County Commissioners pre-
sent plan for working all the worst
places with convict labor on the
county roads shows that they are
thoroughly in sympathy with the
good roads movement, and are look
ing to the benefit of the farmers and
merchants as we'll.
The day is for advancing When
convict labor Will work the roads
throughout the entire county and
keep them in thorough repair, there
by taking a great burden off the
farmers in working the roads; and
thus facilitating aud making easier
the conveying OF their products to
the different towns.
And we desire to say in this con-
nection that the present mol BILE board
of county Commissioners deserve
high praise for their incessant and
untireing efforts in carrying out the
financial plans which they have
adopted to keep the roads and the
county affairs generally in proper
condition without increasing taxes;
and with their present plans carried
on they will soon be in condition
to even decrease the present tax
levy. The writer gives them this
endorsement, feeling that it will
meet with public approval; and he
hopes the present efficient board of
commissioners will be reelected for
another term. The county's affairs
are safe in their hands, and they
have shown by their works that they
are the right men in the right place.
Let's show them that we appreciate
their splendid record in Office by re-
electing them to a man.
The writer does not make special
mention of the efficiency of our
county Commissioners to the dis
paragement of any of our other
county officers, for never has Wayne
county boasted better or more COM
petent officers than the present en-
cumbents and the people would be
wise to re-elect them all.
