The Farmer Vote.

AS the campaign progresses it be-
comes apparent that the effort Of the
two great political parties this year
will be to secure the vote Of the farm
er. Naturally the farmer is a Demo-
crat. Here and there he is not, since
those living along the Canadian bor-
der want protection against Canadian
eggs and the like and the Republican
party gives it to them. But where no
special benefits are given the farmers.
and where, in the North, they are re-
lieved Of either the original or Inherit
ed prejudice growing out Of the war,
they are inclined toward Democratic
ideas. And this year they are to be
appealed to by both parties in way
most complimentary to them.--Dallas

Win Illinois.

Ihe Democratic State ticket Is thor
oughiy Democratic More than that,
It's personnel is guarantee of ability,

administration based upon business
principles solely-the kind of govern
ment OF which Illinois unquestionably
stands in need. The timber is in the
candidates for the various offices,
from Larry" Stringer down, to make
good the promises Of reform. to enact
a civil service law, to establish a uni
form auditing system, to Danish the
evils wrought by the warning for
spoils at the State institutions and to
drive away the grafters who swarm
around the public trough.
1t is not hard for the people of I'LL
nOis to realize the excessive rate of
taxation under which they are stag
gering and to understand the financial
burden which extravaganza has loaded
upon them. The Governor, when elect
ed, will have nothing whatever to do
with the tariff, or any matter which

him should be cast on that basis. Do
the people want Illinois governed as
it has been governed these last four
years?
The cause is good, the way is clear,
the time is come. The Democrats Of
Illinois should get together, forget dis
graceful party fights, go out to win

Brief Comm ent.

President Roosevelt says ''the pur-
chasable power of the wage-earner's
dollar has grown faster than the cost
Of living" But how he figures it out
is beyond the mathematics Of the
wage Garner or anybody else.-Rich-
mond News.
The picture of Roosevelt as a silent,
retired, quiet citizen of Oyster Bay is
attractive enough to induce the Amer
lean people to keep him in that situa-
ton for the remainder of his life.-Ma-
con Telegraph.
The very thought of John Sharp
Williams being Speaker Of the next
House is giving the Republican cam
paign managers a lively case of 1.-The
ricketts,. Macon Telegraph.
The Republican party" in Missouri
is not making a campaign in the usual
sense. 1t is simply fighting with DEM
ocracy over the division of Republican
votes.-St. Louis Republican.

Inane Parker Alone.

Efforts are now being made to force
Judge Parker to adopt and father THIS
and that pet theory of some of his
supnorters. Particularly is this true
of some of the independent papers IN
New York and elsewhere. The mere
fact that they are cordially and ear
nestly supporting Judge Parker does
not give them the right to dictate TO
him He cannot hope to do all that Is
demanded of him. They should let
him alone. He has the ability ana tne
courage to meet every requirement OF

date. What q band of angels to pose
as the representatives Of the people
and throw their campaign mud at
Judge Parker, who, as the chief just
tice Of the highest court in the great
est State of the Union, has record
unsullied by a single act which bears
the faint of corporation control.
Theodore Roosevelt has been put to
the test and has fallen ANONYMOUSLY
into the embrace of the corporations.
For years Judge Parker has been put
to the test, and there is not so much
as the suggestion of undue influence
in any of his numerous decisions,
which, by their even-handed justice
and evidences of judicial ability, have
commanded the respect and admiral
ton of lawyers and laymen without
regard to party utilization. Under the
circumstances the Republican attack
uDon Judge Parker is base and unWor-
thy, and throws the lime light upon a
trait in RoOSevelts character which
ordinary discretion would have Kept
from public view. 1t has opened up
campaign of direct persona attack
which the Democratic candidates
well-known dignity and sense OF pro-
priety may resent, but from which mel
Their he nor the Democratic campaign
ers need shrink. 1t means that Ter
ribIe Teddy is out for broiling, and
he will get it to degree that will give
him a new and surprising view OF the
strenuous life.-New York News.

THE SANE" FELLOWS IN
CHARGE.

Those optimistic Democrats who
are trying TO keep up a bold front in
spite Of the Democratic psrty's de-
plorable condition, will have hard
time doing it. W. J. Bryan himself
may not take any part hereafter in
opposing Judge Parker. but good
many of his followers will. II Is an
nounced that a conference is 10 b.
held within thirty days TO decide on
course Of action, and meanwhile some
Of the holder of the Bryanites have
sufficiently recovered from their be.
wilderment to get mad and prepare for
an assault. Here is what Alexander
Troupe, former Democratic National
Committeeman Of Connecticut, and
Colonel Bryan's closest political friend
in the east, says:
81 am thoroughly Disguised with
the whole thing. l am neither liar
nor q hypoorite. don't believe that
Mr.. Bryan will take the stump, be-
cause I fail to see how he can consist
emily do IL. Possibly the men now in
control OF the Democratic organiza.
ton would not care to have him do it,
The party now being under the con
troll OF safe and sane men, the I'm
safe and insane men having beer
relocated to the rear, the opportunity
presents itself to see what can be &C
complished by the advocates Of ths
safe and sane policy"
The party is hopelessly split and
will be more so before the campo ign
is over.

SURRENDER OF BRYAN TO
WALL STREET.

Mr.. Bryan was never accused Of
consistency, but after weighing his
recent statement to the press, the I'M
biased thinker will be unwilling to
credit him with ordinary intelligence
or political honesty.
In the first place, he makes il plain
that he 10 going to vote for Parker
and Davis because OF "the party" He
does not profess to feel any enthu-
siasm for the candidates because Of
their intelligence or character, but
appears to lose sight Of these es-
sentials in contemplation of the plat
form, something he is unwilling, or
unable to do, in discussing the Re-
publican platform. His first reason
for voting for the Democratic ticket
is that it Stands for opposition to
imperialism. Mr.. Bryan knows he
attempted to raise this issue before,
and the Democratic party was unable
to make anything Of IL except silly
bugbear. The people Of the United
States refused four years ago to accept
the Democratic view of so-called i'm
perislism, or II they accepted it they
repudiated IL together with the Demo.
cratic party, and ratified the Repub-
lican party's Philippine policy.
Hisseoond reason has nothing to do
with the principles Of either party.
aud il that "Mr. Roosevelt 10 inject
ing the race issue into American
politics." which is as sbsurd IS the
imperialism tomfoolery. Mr.. Bryan
digresses, 1t is noticed, from R,publi-
can principles to Mr.. Roosevelt.
There is no race question in American
politics except that which the Demo
CRATIC party chooses to inject.
His third reason is "Mr. Roosevelt"
again. "Mr. Roosevelt, he declared,
Islands for the spirit Of war" Mr..
Roosevelt doesn't. but what If he did !?
The Republican party or platform
doesn't. Mr.. Bryan, himself, probably
does not stand for the spirit of war.
He enlisted during the Spanish
American war to make grand stand
play to the country ct large, and
when bis cheap politics finally threat
ensd to take him into some of the real
hardships Of army life he hastily re.
signed. No, Mr.. Bryan is not for the

Outward Signs of the Coming On of
Campaign.
Esopus, July 13.-Rosemount, the
home of Judge Alton B. Parker, for the
first time today began to show out
ward signs of the coming on of the
campaign. The lodge house at the
gate is being arranged for use as a
campaign office and linemen today put
up the special telegraph and telephone
lines which are to be in use from
now on One of the large rooms is
being fitted up for the newspaper cor

200 arrived in the first incoming mail,
and every mail since has shown
marked increase over the one before.
A force of stenographers under the
direction of the judges private secre-
tary, Arthur E. McCausland, will be
installed within day or two in the

of his willingness to participate to a
limited extent in the campaign.
Regarding the date for the formal
notification of the candidate, there Is

GOLDEN RULE" MAYOR DIES.
Samuel M. Jones, of Toledo, Ohio, Has
Passed Away.

Toledo, Ohio, July 13.-Samuel M.
Jones, the Golden Rule Mayor" died
at his home Tuesday evening, as the
result of complication OF diseases.
The immediate cause of his death
was an abscess on his lungs. The
mayor had suffered for years from
asthma and this was the primary cause
of his fatal illness.
The death of Mayor Jones has
caused the greatest sorrow all over
the city. Although many did not be,
lieve in his ideas on sociological prob
lens everyone loved and respected
him. His one great stronghold with
tn e people Of Toledo was his hon.
esty. He was four times elected may.
or of Toledo.
The mayor was taken i'll two weeks
ago last Thursday and for the last
48 hours previous to his death was in
comatOse condition.
