Prohibitionists are beginning to awak,
en- to the fact that fusion for Democratic
purposes is no good. They put up
strong argument to the effect that that
sort of thing loses the identity of their
party and fails to show their strength.
Locally the Democratic clique and those
in collision with it are begging hard for
the ProhibitiOnists to help them just
this once. Their plea gives color to the
suspicion thai the Prohibition party can

them. 1t is little wonder the Prohibit

to contemplate, and there were actually
Democrats who thought seriously Of sui

The same old cry of desertion of n

There was the same old wall again7t

were slaves and not free-born American
citizens And rs a climax to it all we
were about to come 10 the most terri

the good arising did not confnc itself
to that country alone, but it went across

the American people. and especially the

that way. Barbarism and Spanish OPP

IN y recent cam p9lIn. Wieu n telloW tfoni
Wi-onburg came bounding into our of
fee and telling us that one of the men
mentioning him by name, who is loud in
hiS public cries against such a practice
had directed him to come, but when we
made inquiry, he told us that it was
Democratic headquarters which he was
hunting and TO which he had been di
rected. The point here is that Demo
cratic headquarters was next door to US
and that i the place he had been direct
ed TO. This was the evening before the
county election. Again. in this connec.
ton, it is a pubic matter that Demo.
cratic candidates sat on beer barrels in
aleyways and dished the booze out. 1t
Is also matter of publicity that some
of them got on their horses and in their
buggies carly election day. loaded with
Doodle to buy votes for the Democratic
ticket. 1t is also known that any man
who was believed to be Democrat
could vote unchallenged by Democratic
election officers. although they were
there to protect the purity of the ballot
box and have ever been loud in their
| pretensions in that respect. 1t Is also
known that they have entered into con.
-piracy to use the courts for political
purposes, as recently shown by their
own sworn statements.
And yet, after all these inconsistencies
on their part are shown up, they continue
to put up pretensiOns that they are for
the people and pure politics. Their own
course is all the evidence necessary to
convict them before a well-thinking PEG.
