Gay Bachelors IS Jolly BenedIcls.

The game Of ball at Luoich's
Park Thursday, Aug. 18th, will be
a hummer and no mistake. The
revised line up presents the fol
lowing gallant bachelors: f..
Hartman, d. Mccormick, Law
son Smith, a. y. Graham, s.
COIN, w. ID. Davis, Chas. Cowan,
III. B. Cannon, Dick NaIty. The
festive Benedicts ready to do bat
tie with the above are G. r.
Younts, Connolly or Makenair,
q. Hamilton, NJ. ID. McGrath, III.
Sumrall, Frank Parsons, j a.
Holman, S. Abrams, G. Heuck, j.
Cope. Both sides are practicing
strcnuousIy for the battle royal.
So many bruised fingers and
bumps have resulted that the price
Of antiseptic has been raised sky
ward. Heuck, the slugger, has
smashed SO many dollar bats and
has driven out so many dangerous
liners that he has been barred
from field practice.
Other players who cannot get
out during the day are doing live
Iy stunts in indoor base ball and
practicing under the big electric
street lights. Manager Graham
is investigating the history Of the
Benedicts new man, Makenair.
He says he does not look like a
married man strange that a man
should look it, and insists that he
produce his certificate or be de-
barred from play. Hamilton in
turn, has spotted certain bachelor
who intends to get married quiet
~ today and honors are easy.
Taking it all in all the contest on
the 25th will be an enjoyable one.
Game starts at 5 p. no. sharp.
Admission Is cents; ladies and
children, 10 cents. Should rain
prevent the game on. the 25th it
will be played the following day.

Ex-prs.ident Cleveland. Failure.

Ex-President Cleveland Is an un-
imaginative man, and for this and
other good reasons his recent maya
kine article entitled why a Young
Man Should Vote the Democratic
Ticket" is short, pointIess and uncon-
vincing.
1t takes a good deal of fervid fancy,
and a knack for invention, to con-
struct an argument upon a theme like
that. Mr.. Cleveland was evidently i'll
at ease with his subject. Probably few
young men will read the article, any
way. and no n will be influenced by
1t.
The young men OF America live In
the present and hope for the future.
They do not care to be ever holding
post-mortems on dead issues, nor to
spend their days holding back the
wheels OF action and progress.
The young men Of the United States
are alive. And they will vote the Re-
publican ticket this fall.

CANDIDATES COMPARED.
why Theodore Roosevelt Is More Popu
lar than Alton Is. Parker.

why Theodore Roosevelt Is More Popu.
lar han Alton II. Parker.
The New York Sunday Democrat, a
newspaper that recently bolted Parker
and came out for Roosevelt. in giving
the reasons why tie Parker campaign
Is languishing and the Roosevelt cam
paign is booming. says:
Judge Parker has few Of the attri-
butes of popularity; Theodore Roose
welt has them all.
Parker is timid; Roosevelt is brave.
Parker is controlled by friends and
patrons; Roosevelt is independent.
Parker represents no policy and has
no political record; Roosevelt is one of
the acknowledged progressive states
men Of the century and his record Is
the record of the sunshine years Of
militant and advancing A~mericanism.
AS there is practically no one to
vigorously oppose there X no one to
actively defend Judge Parker as a poll
ical standard-bearer. Theodore Roose-
welt invites the fire Of partisan enemies
and attracts to his support thousands
of patriotic and earnest admirers.
Judge Parker is a weak candidate,
an unwise candidate, an unfortunate
candidate for the Presidency. A life
OF judicial monotony and exclusion
from political affairs does not appeal
to the allegiance of partisans. sIheo-
dore Roosevelt is a strong. a vigorous.
an invincible candidate for the Presi-
dency. He Is a man of action nomi-
mated for an electorate of Astounding
energy, force and progress. He is, es-
pecially, the idol of the young men of
the country.
1T is. therefore. not at all surp-is-
ing that as the voters contrast these
two candidates they should be ire
sistibly drawn d one-to Roosevelt
and should be repealed from or become
Indifferent to his antagonist. Parker.
Such Is the present trend Of the cam
paign and it is decidedly favorable TO
President Roosevelt. No reasonable
doubt for his election exists or is en-
tertained by anyone familiar with pol
tics, Democrat or Republican
Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1904-10-20

The republicans of this county
should remember that the future
of the party depends upon
keeping the organization intact and
keeping perfect harmony, There is
but one way to do this and that is
when a ticket is nominated 10 80 the
polls and vote it straight, Ne doubt
there are many republicans who
have friends on the other ticket, but
party loyalty demands of every
republican that he vote the ticket
straight. The proper way is a "X''
in the circle at the top.
Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1904-10-20

Mr.. Bryan was Its leader Mr.. Bryan
himself must have been the chief lu-
matte.
Candidate Parker is generally ad-
mitted to be a %nonentity In his party
q, tool of Hin, Sheehan and others
and what he says counts for little, but
IL is different when Mr.. Cleveland
talks. lie is the oracle of the Eastern
Democracy. ana If he says Bryan is in
sane II Is certain he voices the senti-
ments of sane Democracy.
How cln the Bryanites indorse such
a Islander on their leader by supporting
Parker? Mr.. Cleveland declined to
vote for Mr.. Bryan on the ground thai
the Nebraskan was insane. but he will
vote for Parker because he leads the
sane Democracy ticket.
An important point seems to have
been forgotten 10y Mr.. Cleveland. Par
kcr voted twice for the Nebraska Flu
matte and was therefore one of the
host OF madmen who composed Fin
sane" Democracy. Does Mr.. Cleveland
improve his position by now support
ing one OF the madmen who voted for
the leader of insane" Democracy?
Mr. Cleveland's thrust at Bryan was
uncalled for, and will, no doubt. be re-
sented at the polls, for the friends OF
Mr.. Bryan do not think he should be
put in the straitjacket class.

THE B OF THE FLAG

The old fiag's still wing. the stars
are clean and white,
The red and blue are cleaning, a Joy
to every sight.
With drum beat and with trumpet, with
musket and with sword
The old flag came TO being, each thread
with glory stored.
We held 1t high, triumphant. when 1t
was but a rag,
And still we stand beneath 1t, the party
of the flag!
The old flag and its story! The old flag
ard it's truth,
We wove it in the passions that marked
the nations youth:
We dyed 1t In the likelihood Of our heroic
sons;
1t wrapped the laureled caskets Of our
heroic ones.
1t waves today In honor from forepeak
and from crag,
And we stand proud beneath Ii, the
party OF the dag.
The old flag and its honor! The old
flag and Its pride,
1t shakes a silent challenge whenever
it's defed;
II whispers US a blessing all through
the starry night;
II sings a song of safety when blazing
In the hight.
1t bushes all contention. all buster and
all brag,
And we stand firm beneath IT. the party
OF the flag.
The old nag and Its meaning! the story
1t has madei
The story Of brave actions. Of soldiers.
unafraid-
The story Of stern duty: OF faith that
there should be
One land from south to northland. one
land from sea to sea.
We held It high. triumphant. shot-rid-
died and 4 rag;
And still we stand beneath II. the party
Of the flag!
