HOT AND RAPID EIRE
Republican Editorial Batteries Still
Shelling the Enemy.
FINE WORK FOR ROOSEVELT
The Democrats Are at a Loss For
Ammunition and Many Are Max
Ing Little Show Of Fighting.

Roosevelt and Fairbanks, and they are
not leaving the Democrats any ground
to stand upon in the contest in which
the minority party is so heavily han
dicapped. There has been a constant
and scathing fire from the Republican
batteries, and in many cases the Demo-
Gratis have not even dared to respond.
Here are few of the latest shots at
the opposition:
Vote For Republican Congressman.
Suppose that the present Republican
house of Representatives should give
place to a Democratic majority and
John Sharp Williams should become
speaker of the house, who would most
likely displace Mr.. Serene e. Payne
as chairman of the ways and means
committee? Possibly Bourke Cochran.
| Possibly Champ Clark. Possibly and
probably some southern Democrat
who has always been and always will
be free trader in spite of Mr.. Clarks
declaration that the Democratic party
never was and never will be a free
| trade party.
To prevent any such a possibility
vote for your Republican congress.

A Party Without Sense.
The Democratic party, as party,
has no sense. 1t never had. For eight
years it has put in its time predicting
things any sane man knows could
never come to pass. The Democratic
campaign keynote has become yawp
instead Of a promise. 1t is facing a
prosperous country once more with
all of its predictions discredited and
not a single principle on which to ap.
peal for votes. The reason the voters
are not interested in this campaign is
because the Democrats have nothing
of interest to offer.-Northeast Erie
Coz Breeze.
Democrats Are Unhappy.
The Democratic campaign Is not
many weeks old, but that it has been
unsatisfactory from the Parker point
! of view is evident. There have been
three changes in the important post
of commander-in-chief, Taggart was
elected to the Office of national chair
man; Belmont, with Parker's conni-
vance, took the power out of Tag
CARTS hands, and now he astute and

Tariff the Supreme Issue.
A good many important questions
are to be considered in the national
campaign, but protection to American
industry is still paramount When
the Democratic platform, adopted at
st. Louis, declared that protection is
robbery" il made the tariff the SUI
preme issue of the campaign.-Scran-

A Timely Warning.
Republican voters should remember,
in order to qualify for voting this fall
that the last day for payment of taxes
is Saturday October Sth. Don't for
get this important matter. See to it
at once and make sure of your vote
for Roosevelt and the whole Republi-
can ticket.-Warren Mail.
The Truth Tersely Told.
1t is better for this country to feed
house and clothe our own labor in this
country than to support foreign labor
in other countries with our money.
Under protection we take care of our
own, under free trade we give the
benefit to foreign nations.-Cameron
County Press.
Should Appeal to Business interests.
The strongest argument the Repub
licans have in the present campaign
is their appeal to the business inter
ests of the country. There is really
little, if any politics, which is funda
mental. left for Observation-Disclosures

No Danger of a Miracle.

short of miracle can defeat Roose.

any danger of that kind of miracle

Gave Tammany Shock.
When Parker wrote "Offlcial ex.
travagance is official crime" every
Tammany man shuddered. The cost
of running New York is one-fourth of
the total national expenses outside the

"Cold Gray Dawn" of November 9.
Henry Watterson's latest tribute to
Judge Parker is so beautiful as an
eulogy that in reading it one can al
most see the Democratic mourners re-

morning after the election.-Lafayette
