It IL Very Important that 1t Sho uld Be
Republican.
In the great political contest which
occurs in this country every four
years, and which is now on, the cleo
ton of President is apt to Overshadow
all other interests. This ought not to
be so. The President is the head of
the executive branch Of the govern
ment, but the legislative branch is
equally as important. Republicans
should remember that it is as import
ant to hold Congress as it is to elect
the President. The election Of Judge
Parker would mean much more than
the induction of his personality into
that high Office. His election would
mean the election of a Democratic
House Of Representatives, and this
would be most unfortunate, because:
First, the Democratic party, COM
posed as it is of all the distracted ele-
ments of the country, is not capable
of successfully administering the af-
fairs of this government. 1t has not
the capacity to deal with the great
problems that now confront u.s. Sec
Ond, Democratic House of RepreSen-
tatives would mean that the entire
legislative machinery of that body
would be placed in the control of the
South; the speaker, the committee on
rules, and all the important commit
tees, as we'll as the chairmanships Of
the same, would be subordinated to
southern policies. In answer to this it
may be said that Democra tic House
could do no harm, as the Senate would
still be Republican, and could prevent
any unwise or radical legislation. but
a Democratic House could prevent Re-
publican legislation, and great harm
might result from that The election Of
Republican Congress is scarcely Sec
ond in Importance to the elections of a
Republican President

UNDULY .PUFFED UP
The Get-Rich- Quick Democratic Bosses
Are Dragging Too Soon.

The et-Rich-Quick Democratic Bosses
Are Dragging Too Soon.
Certain Democrats with the exuber-
ance of the newly rich, are Boosting Of
the states they are going to carry by
means of their big campaign fund.
There is no telling what may happen,
even with money in the treasury. Only
a day or two ago, one politician from
West Virginia was bewailing certain
well-prOved facts in connection with
campaign money. They are thinking
a good deal of campaign money in
West Virginia just now. This particu-
lar individual Of the Democratic camp
said, in effect, that West Virginia is
likely to go Republican this fall. ''The
niggers will all vote the Republican
ticket" he declared, "those who are
allowed to vote. They'll take our
money and then go and vote the Re
publican ticket straight"
This is complication of great i'm
port to our erring brethren of the op-
posing camp. 1t was not always thus,
but now, with the Australian ballot,
in some form, in use in many states it
is a sad fact that the riff-raff who
sell their votes take the money and
then vote as they please.
The Oil trust can put it's money into
the Parker campaign fund, but it cam
not buy even one of it's own vast army
of employees, nor any of it's victims in
the world of business.
The Democrats are pulled up over
their fat pocketbooks, but it won't help
them in the coming election. The peo-
pie prefer to have money in their own
pockets, honest money which they
have been able to earn themselves, in
a time of prosperity and industrial ac-
tivity such as Republican administra-
ton gives them.

WATSON'S VIEWS
The Georgian's Opinion of Roosevelt
and Parker.

Ihe GeOrg1an's Opinion of KooseveiI
and Parker.
Thomas E. Watson the candidate OF
the Peoples party, is getting a great
deal of amusement out of what he
calls the independent side-show Of his
own, of which he is ''in full militant
aggressive control" He says he re-
spects Roosevelt and the Republicans
because they know what they want,
are candid in stating their position and
fearless in fighting for their principles.
He prefers Roosevelt to Parker, be-
cause the former sis not seeking the
support of Bryan Democrats upon
false pretensions. He is not playing
a confidence game on the negro ques-
ton. He is not attempting to win
Jeffersonians by sham adherence to
Jeffersonian principles He is not in
ambush; he is behind no blind he
stands out in the open and says to
his enemies: Here l am, a Repub-
lican who stands pat on all existing
conditions; if you want to fight come
on"
Mr.. Watson's letter is full of yitriolic
contempt for Judge Parker as a weak
ling and artful dodger. 1t ridicules his
position ON the pension question and
says his pledge to revoke Order No.
Is amounts to saying, Roosevelt did
the right thing but not in the right
way, and if you will elect me presi-
dent will do the same thing in the
proper way"
AS to the Democracy itself Mr..
Watson asks:
'sWho could put faith in the pledges
Of the party which has so little unity
OF conviction as the National Demo
cracy?"
"What party ever made and broke
so many pledges?"
"What party ever changed its
ground so often?"
'What other party ever unloaded all
of it's principles at one quick throw
down as they did at st. LouisY
Candor compels the answer s'None."
1t remains the party Of nothing but
big professions, unfulfilled promises
and pledges.

THEY ARE FOR ROOSEVELT
His Magnetism Proves Attractive to Men
of All Conditions.


There is a magnetism in open, fear
less manhood which attracts the souls
OF men. The wOrkingmen of the coun-
try recognize in President Roosevelt an
active worker, a sincere, democratic,
straightout brother man. There is no
dlscounting the unerring instinct by
which one sturdy man or class of men
reaches swift decision as to character.
Perhaps the rank and file of the work
ers OF the United States cannot give
out long speeches as to why they be-
lleye in Roosevelt, but the fact is they
know him. That is enough
Put Theodore Roosevelt in a group
OF railway engineers and firemen, or
on a ranch in Idaho; let him sit down
to dinner with a dozen farmers at
country tavern or ride in a car with
mining outfit, or a college football
team, or a delegation of stonemasons,
and instantly he would be sized up,
estimated and acknowledged by any
and all of these representatives of
American life as hearty, genial COM
panion, and as strong man and as
a strong leader of men.
Evidences multiply, day by day,
showing in what high esteem Presi-
dent Roosevelt is held by the men who
are doing the work of the country; the
work which keeps life going, and
makes ''the wheels go round" And
these intelligent, keen workers, look
ing with clear eyes upon the great
fabric of society that they are daily
building. know how to pick leader
for themselves and tn ir country.
Nothing can make the virile young
manhood of America turn it's eyes
away from Theodore Roosevelt. Moth
ing can destroy the confidence in him
of the steady, hopeful toilers of mid
die age. And to the old and ex-
perienced the vain appeals of ancient
party prejudices are but as ratings to
the deaf. Young, middle-aged and old
alike in the great world of industry
and traffic, have made up their minds
about the coming election; and when
it comes they are going to show the
faith that is in them.
The American wOrkingmen have no
doubts about Theodore Roosevelt.
They know just what to expect Of him
when he is president and they mean
to have it by electing him.

Senator Bacon has been reduced to
tears because the north continues to
present a practically solid front to the
solid south nearly forty years after
the closing of the bloody chasm. The
emotional senator should reserve his
tears for the solid south. When they
can dissolve that Bourbon combina-
ton of traditional mistrust and eX-
ploded dogmas the chief cause and
excuse of sectional politics will disap-
pear. Why doesn't Senator Bacon be-
gin a campaign for the secession OF
Georgia from the solid south? OF
course he will answer: ''The Negro"
But so far as national politics go,
the negro is the merest DOGGY ever
conjured out Of the brains of political
demagOgues.

In 1860 when the Republican party
first came into power this was almost
exclusively an agricultural country and
the policy of the Democratic party was
to keep it so. That party said the
United States is destined to be the
granary of the world, but manufact-
uring country, never. The Republican
policy was to make it a great manu-
featuring as we'll as agricultural
country, and it has done so. In the
year 1900 the United States produced
one-third of all the manufactured
products of the world and shipped
them broadcast to foreign markets.
This never could have been done I'M
der the Democratic policy of free
trade.

The Works of Democracy.

"By their works shall We know
them" By what single work are the
American people to know that the
Democratic party can be safely in
trusted with power? There is not a
single distinctive policy Of the party
that, put to the test, ever worked with
out creating damage. The Democratic
party has favored slavery, free silver
and free trade, but never single
principle has it ever favored that
meant greater happiness and prosper
ity for the American people. The Repub-
lican party freed the slaves, and it has
stood and still stands for sound money
and protection to American industries.
1t is the party of construction, not the
party of destruction.

Trouble in Red Lodge Mines.

Red Lodge, Jan. 21.-There seems
to be every prospect that from now
on the output of the Red Lodge coal
mine, owned by the Northwestern I'm
provement company, will be some
what limited. Last night orders were
given for a shutdown, which will last
until Monday, and it is stated that for
this week the mines will only work
about half the time. Reasons for this
are not hard to find. II Is said that
warm winter weather has relieved the
shortage of coal in various parts of
the state. At any rate the company
here is not primarily in the CONNER
cial coal b~u9iness, the mine being
owned by and operated for the sup
ply of the Northern Pacific. It is
claimed, however, that this decreased
output is due to the loss of standing
orders which the company has usual.
ly had all winter. This loss occurred
during the time the electric light
plant was out of order and when half
the mine was shut down. At that
time Superintendent Pettigrew asked
the miners to work Sunday to make
good the decreased output. In this
