He is the prototype of the Demo
cratic party in politics. 1t has been sc
for forty years, hand running, and now
is starting on new lap. The plat.
form OF the Democratic party, adopted
at ST. Louis, shows conclusively that
the party is not ready to do anything;
it is sitting on the storebox abusing
the other fellows and Dragging what
it would do if it had a chance.
The Republican party began 'doing
things" in 1861. Every step of pro-
gress this country has made since then
has been under Republican adminstra-
ton and Republican laws. The party
in 1897 had to go back and do them
over again, after a brief Democratic
administration had undone the labor
of years.
The Republican party in it's platform
tells in plain language WHAT it intends
to do. The Democratic party is not
specific, but intimates that it will
work wonders.
Now, if you had a job of important
work you wanted attended to, would
you give it to fellow who has been
sitting on a storebox for forty years,
whiting, Dragging and faultfinding,
or would you entrust it to the other
fellow who has been "doing things"
aud doing them right, Notwithstanding
the faultfinding and nagging of the
chap on the Storebox.
The American people demand results
not talk. They like the man who de-
Flyers the goods. The Republican
party is the party of action; it delivers
the goods.
The bill of-lading of the Republican
National convention specifies the kind
and quality of goods proposed to be de-
liyered. They will be delivered in
good order and without shortage or
breakage.
And the man on the storebox will
sit and whittle and scold and brag for
another SPELL

FAST FIRE RUN RECORD.
Chicago Firemen Astonished French
Visitors, But the Strategy
Was Costly.

A score of firemen were relating anec-
dotes Of the late Denis J. Swenie, for a
score OF years Chicago's fire marshal
One day. said a grizzled veteran. who, &C
cording to the Journal, for years worked
under the old fireman in the downtown
district 20 party Of French gentlemen
called on the mayor. They said they
were directors of the Paris fire de-
partment, and would like to inspect the
fire department The mayor called
Chief Swenie and turned the party over
to him. Sure! he would show them
everything. He sent out notice to
the fire department that he would pull
box "A. Hubbard court and Michigan
avenue, at four o'clock. He wanted
three engines and a truck to make a
record run to the box.
Among the companies to run in on
the box was engine 10 and truck COM
pany 1. both located next to the Har-
rison street police station. There was
a great deal Of pleasant rivalry between
these companies and another due on
the test run. Accordingly the captains
decided that 10 and / were going to
beat out all the others.
They arranged to get the apparatus
out in Harrison street. The operator
at the Harrison street police station
agreed to give them signal when the
box call came.
The scheme would have worked to
charm had the visitors been on time.
They were, however, about two min
utes late. Now, it just happened that
fire was discovered on the North side
at four o'clock to the second.
THE operators in the fire alarm Office
struck OF box 8-4-6. Before he counted
on the alarm, the operator waved to
the waiting companies, and away they
went. When he discovered the mistake
1t was too late. He had sent the COM
pan1es away to box Is, and the box had
not been pulled. The firemen rounded
the corner just as Chief Swenie was
walking up to the box
He was the most surprised man in
the crowd. The companies were on the
scene before he had touched the box.
Seems to me you had q wrong
hunch.' was all he said. He then pulled
the box. and brought out the other two
companies. At the next session of the
trial board two captains forfeited five
days pay for anticipating an alarm Of
fire.
Ever since that time, test runs or
no test runs, no horse has poked his nose
out OF a stall until at least one round of
the box has been received"

Why Davis Was Nominated

Democratic Voter.-How did the
convention come to nominate Davis, a
man more than so years old? Didn't
they know his age?

and the boys Immediately jumped to
the conclusion that he was worth
eighty millions. That settled it.

THE CHOICE OF FAME

Today the Kimball pianos are
purchased by the great musical
artists for their personal use,
while the annual output is con-
coded to be double that of any
other piano factory in the world.
Regarding the selection of
these pianos by great artists it
is interesting to know that
| Nine. Eames in a charming let
ter written to the firm of Kim
ball says: Kindly ship the
Kimball grand | selected at your
warerooms that it may reach
my home at Vallombrosa, Italy,
by the time of my return from
America, which will be about
May 1. The Kimball baby
grand which | purchased for the
music room in my Paris home in,
1895, has lost none gifts original
richness and brilliancy OF tone,
and ] am more than ever charmed
with it."
M. JEAN DE RESZKE writes
on the same subject: eve have
concluded to purchase Kimball
pianos for our personal USE"
Nj. EDOUARD DE RESZKE
thus expresses his opinion: 81
am absolutely satisfied with my
Kimball piano."
NINE. NORDICH mentions
her choice as follows: "The more
l use my Kimball piano the
better / like it."
NINE. PATTI, who took
Kimball upright with her to
Craig-y-nos. in 1881 and pur-
chased a grand piano of the same
make for her castle in 1897,
writes regarding her selections:
cit is a beautiful piano and has
an exquisite tone"

The Evident EVIL Animus.

The deep personal feeling that the
Anti-Saloon League expresses against
Governor Herrick needs to be taken
into account by every candid man in
considering the best question of value
of any assertion about him. Evl
speech against a public man, unless
well warranted by the undistorted
facts, properly disqualties its author
from being a credItable witness con-
cerning such a man.
This truth has a new and significant
application in recent Colum bus
newspaper communication from ~.
c. Jackson, Editor of American Is
sue" the official spokesman for the
inner circle of managers that has
manufactured the opposition to Her.
. rick, He speaks of Governor Her
rick, who is dominated by his personal
idea of what Is fair to saloons, and
who is apt TO get that idea of fair
ness either from his own personal
habits, convictions and friendships,
or to have it impressed upon him by
a firm of liquor attorneys" Put into
plain English, Rev. Jackson's words
mean that Governor Herrick is n
drunkard, an associate of drunkards,
