 Birmingham Man Speaks.
 N. F.. Thompson of Birmingham, Ala, the last speaker said In part:
 Politically you speak of the solid south but there is something solid in the south besides that It is the open shop That is because of labor; 1t asks nothing. There are cities in the south that have not single union shop in them. Chattan- ooga is one of them. We are prepared in the south to protect the open shop with the same strength that the pro- tect the sanctity of the home and we beg of you to do your duty as patriotic citizens and make the north and west and east just as solid against tradese un- ionism as we have made the south.'

SAY THEY KNOW THE MAN
edge of Who Wrecked McCoy's
Home with Dynamite.

Lafayette, Ind, Oct. 25.-John F..
McHugh and Messrs. Haywood & Hay
wood, of this city. attorneys for the
McCoys, assert that they know who
wrecked the Mccoy home at Rem
sselaer week ago last night, and they
say that the authorities of Jasper
county are equally as positive as to
the identity of the guilty person, and
that at the proper time he will be ar
rested. They also assert that the blood
hounds placed on the trail soon after
the explosion, followed the scent to the
hiding place of the culprit, and since
then testimony has developed, clearing
away all doubt.
The attorneys are preparing for the
forthcoming trial of the McCoys, and
they have mass of testimony that
will consume several weeks in it's in
PRODUCTION. The defense is that the
McCoys always felt that they were
solvent, and that the failure of the
bank was due to circumstances be-
yond their control. 1t is also pleaded
that if the McCoys had been permitted
to dispose of their property they
would have been able to satisfy all
claims.

An amusing story is told OF. an Ok
ford undergraduate who was so cock
sure that he had passed an examina-
ton he had recently been in for that
he did not trouble to go down to the
schools to get hts testama, but asked
4 friend to do 80 for him. When his
friend got there the cupboard was
bare. There was no testama for his
self confident friend. He therefore
brought word back to his friend that
he had not satisfied the examiners, as
there was no testama for him. His
friend, being very indignant, said that
he would certainly write to the exam
l>srs and inform them that they must
have plowed him by mistake. So he
wrote the following letter:
Dear SirsE1 fear that in my re-
cent examination you must have plow-
ed me by a mistake
After few days he received the
following reply:
- Dear Sfr-The examiners present
their compliments to Mr.. and beg
to state that he was plowed by a great
many mistakes. "-Tit-Bits.

"Our Democratic friends indulge in ex-
travagant and unfounded statements,
not only with respect to expenditures
in the United States but with respect
to expenditures in the Philippines The
foremost leaders of Democracy per-
sistently claim that we have expended
$670,00OOOO in the archipelago. Some
even assert that the amount will ap-
proximate $12,OOO,OOO. The records of
the war department show that bith
of these statements are grossly mac
curate. The total expenditures in the
archipelago are less than $2O0,0OO,0OO."

THEFIGHT ON BABCOCK.

The eyes of the whole country
are upon the Third Congressional
district. The bitter, malicious and
uncalled for attack made against
the reelection of Congressman J..
w. Babcock has, on1account Of his
National standing and prominence,
attracted the attention of the whole
country. The question as to whether
the (Pollocks of the newspaper
press) and the game wardens and
oil inspectors are to retire from
public life a man who has won for
himself a reputation for services
performed both for his party and
his country, is one of vital and
overreaching interest to the whole
country, and demands the attention
and thought of every Republican
in the Third Congressional sdistrict.
The spectacle Of men, who are run
ming upon>a Republican ticket as
candidates, urging and beseeching
life long Republicans to cast their
ballot for a Democratic candidate
for Congress-, IS one never before
witnessed in Wisconsin. The open
alliance and trade between IGrOtO-
phorst, Munson and the SO called
Republican opponents of Babcock,
whereby Grotophorst is to deliver
Democratic votes in return for Re-
publican votes for himself is one
of the most shameful and wantOn
ever known in American politics.
Grotophorst has sold his party sfor
a mess of pottage. His Republican
allies are trying to do the same
thing. The farmers of the Third
district, who have been en-
joying unexampled gprosperity
brought to them by the wise leg
islation enacted by Mr.. Bah
cock and his colleagues in Con-
gress are asked to vote it away
and place in his stead man1who
will vote all of the legislation to
which the Republican party is OPP
posed. Farmers of Grant County
Are you going to do this? Are you
going to stand by the party that
has always stood by you and by the
candidate for Congress who has al
ways attended to your everyrequest
promptly and faithfully, or do you
propose that at the dictation of am
bilious, INSCRIPTIONS and unprinci-
pied men to barter away the princi-
pies you have advocated and voted
for all your lives. 1t will be to the
everlasting disgrace of Grant coun-
ty if Babcock does not receive a
large and overwhelming majority.
If you are in favor of acontinuation
OF the present conditions you will
certainly cast yous ballot for him on
the 9Th of November
