Tie present call did not broaden the
invitation of participation beyond reg
ular Democrats. The most significant
feature of the call. however. /, some
Democrats, was the para mount issue
of four years ago. The previous call
of Chairman Jones was directed 10 all
who favored the republic as against
the empire No such language ap.
pears in the call of today. Apparently
there is no issue between the republic
and the prospective empire to- engage
the attention of Democrats.
The opinion of the western Demo
crates was that the conservative char
acter Of the call for the coming con-
vention indicated the return to control
of the conservative eastern wing ef
the Democracy. 1t apparently is the
first gun in the campaign for turning
the patty organization into the hands
Of the faction who for the past eight
years have found thoir views a1u

MR.. FRAZIER RAISES An ISSUE

Although there has been some dis.
sension regarding the closing Of the
polls in the Third ward at the recent
lefty election, it is not probable that
Ethere will be a contest as none of the
Bdefeated candidates seem willing to
#take the matter up. The trouble arose
! over the fact that the central commit.
8tee ordered polls closed at ) O'Clock
Eand some of the men working at the
Cotton Belt shops did not get chance
ITO vote
4 The polls in the First, Second and
#ourth wards were closed promptly at
q o'clock. while according to the judges
|fhe polls in the Third ward were not
closed until 5:25 O'Clock.
Mr., J. A. Frazier, one of the Demo-
[tratic central committeeman, calls at
tention to the matter in the following
bard:
Efo the Democratic VC:ers OF the First
yard: In selfdefense I desire to
hake the following statement in refer.
fnce to the closing of the First ward
polls at o'clock on Tuesday. | voted
lgalnst closing the same at that hour.
Fheh the matter came up at the Cen
ral Committee meeting, and also took
ne matter up with Chairman w. B.
alexander on Monday preceding the
Election. He said he would have to
olde by the decision of the commit
ee simply make this statement to
Eonefate myself from all blame. 1t is
up TO you gentlemen to rectify
mistake, if any has been made.

The Quiet csmps;sn.

Along early in the game we hear a
good deal about the quiet campaign,
but the man who has had some ex-
perience will not waste any time sit
ting up to listen for 1t. .
1t has been the dream Of the poets
and reformers for some time to have
a campaign in which a number OF
nice boys with their hair neatly comb
ed shall sit around and in quiet, sub
dced tones discuss the issues Of the
campaign over lunch of crackers and
cheese.
That Is not the way political battles
are won, which is Of itself sufficient
reason why the quiet campaign should
be postponed until date always just
four years ahead.
A feast OF reason looks nice enough
on the menu card. but when 1t comes
to winning votes brass band and Z
torchlight parade are three blocks in
the lead and still gaining.
When AlphOnse and CASTOR head the
rival tickets we may have quiet
campaign. but for the present there
is no danger that 1t will be put up In
bottles and placed on the market az Z
sovereign remedy for insomnia.

wr,ter in Country Life In America.
Poison ivy has three leaflets and Wiz

An the drugs in the world are Of no
rso in preventing bad case of poison
;nc unless one begins to do something
ns soon as the telltale itching begins.
When the pustules break open. one is
almost sure to be. in for three days or
. week of suffering. 1t is well to have
little bottle Of the extract OF grin
delia in the house all the time. Ten
ceuts. worth Is enough. You can get II
Of ony drug store. Rub 1t on the Nf-
fected parts every five minutes until
tho trouble is averted, and be sure to
lose no time in beginning!
POISON ivy is often troublesome in
gardens and grounds, as well as on the
farm. where it infests fence rows. On
the farm it can be plOwed out, but
single blowing is not enough. Five or
six may be necessary before the frag-
ments cease to send up new leaves.
ANY plant can be smothered in this
way--even "quackgrass," which is
propa gated by being cut to pieces. The
one essential thing Is persistence. The
leaves of a plant are its lungs" and il
the leaves are cut off as soon as they
appear the plant will die. 1t is sure
way, but you must keep "everlastingly
at It,"
The same principle applies to the
garden, where poison ivy can be ex.
terminated by the frequent use Of the
hoe. Few people are SO sensitive that
they will be poisoned at the distance
Of the length Of hoe handle. Most
cases Of poisoning are supposed to
come from direct contact of the leaves
on cut fingers or other bruised sur
faces. A good way to get rid Of poison
ivy in garden ID to hire some one who
is immune to root it out and keep root
ing it out until 1t never shows a leaf
