The disposition made of this piece

We believe it to be TO the interest OF

Wilkes county contributes to the

government that gives us protection
in person and property, preserves our

fought through bloody years, trains
up our children in the schools and
prepares them for citizenship and use
fulness, protects our churches and en-
courages all material and moral pro-
gress. And what do we get from the
Federal Government? a number of
political postmasterS and enough rev.
enue officers to run Republican poll
ties. And still Republican speakers
go around and "cuss" the Aycock Ad-
ministration for spending money to
care for the poor and insane and to
give our children an education, when
their Roosevelt administration collects

The Republican, enthusiasm was lit

the honor of his party. he said: You
are all right yourself Madam, but the

COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR
SHADOWS BEFORE.

This paper said editorially yesterday
that it did not believe the people of
Mississippi would elect as Governor a
man who would write a vile and in
decent article about a lady. Govern
or Vardaman promptly denies having
written SUCH an article. 1t is now "up
to" the Postmaster General to bring
forward the editorial in question and
prove that Governors Vardaman wrote
it. or to make an apology and permit
Mississippi folks to have voice in their
own affairs. Commenting on the in
2ident, the New Orleans Picayune we'll
says:
1.-THE reported refusal of the postal
authorities at Washington to permit a
new post office in Mississippi to be
named Vardaman, after the Governor,
is the most contemplate piece of pet
ty sectional partisan hate ever per.
petrated by a Federal official. 1t ought
to cover the present administration
with ignominy, and it is a pressage of
the sort of sectional warfare to be
waged on the South if Mr.. Roosevelt
should be elected President"
In view of the Indianola postmas-
ter, Booker Washington dining, the
Vardaman post office. the Crum APP
pointment, the formal declaration to
rob the South of its present representa-
ton in Congress, Roosevelts unworthy
comment on jefferson Davis and other
like incidents, the Southern man who
votes for Roosevelt, votes to have his
section Inundated and wronged, and
to tear down the traditions and So
cial barriers essential to preserve
Southern civilization.
SO far Roosevelt has only shown
his hostile spirit in a few acts. Let
him be reelected and he would seek
vengeance upon the proud people who
will not bend the pregnant hinges of
the knee that thrift may follow fawn-
ing"

The campaign fires of 1904 will
wage hottest in the State of Indiana.
While New York is always doubtful
State. the best opinion is that Parker
and Davis will secure it's electoral vote
this year. The same conditions that
will make New York Democratic are
relied upon to put New Jersey and
Connecticut i'm the Democratic column.
But with these States safely Demo-
cratic, and a few more votes in the far
West, it will probably be necessary for
the Democrats to carry Indiana, 'llli-
nois or Wisconsin to win. In each
State the contest will be hot. If the
factional fights in Illinois are healed
the Democrats can carry Illinois II
they can secure big ma
jority in Chicago which is regarded as
probable this year. In Wis
consin the main reliance is upon
the bitter Republican feud, resulting
in two State tickets. In Indiana, the
reliance is upon the fact that the par
ties are very nearly evenly balanced
and that this is a Democratic year.
The Republicans made a bid for the
Hoosier State by naming Fairbanks for
Vice. President; the Democrats met
that move by making Taggart National
Chairman. The State pride element is
therefore neutralized
At the Democratic State Convention
this week a very strong ticket, headed
by Hon. John K. Kern for Governor
was put in the field. Upon the ticket
are representatives of all interests and
sections of the State, and the party
sharmonious and united. There were
something like $4,000 gold Demo
Gratis" in the State. They are all now
in line, active and enthusiastic. The
"Old Guard that never surrenders, is
hard at work, welcoming back the
men who left the party, and they are
pulling together to bring Indiana back
into the Democratic fold. 1t is a task,
calling for the highest effort and the
greatest self-sacrifice, but the outlook
row seems favorable to the Demo-
Gratis. In their heroic fight to redeem
the State, the Indiana Democracy will
have the support and encouragement
of the Democracy in every State in the
Union. If they win, it means a return
to constitutional government under
Parker and Davis.
