Folks Course No Comfort To
Democrats.

"The Republican party in the
western part of the state is in ex-
cellent shape, said r. W. Van
Trump, of Kansas City, in the
Globe Democrat, a presidential
ielector last year; who is at the
Laclede hotel. when / say the
party in the western part of the
state l mean all of the counties
outside of Kansas City. l have
paid some attention to the con
ditions existing there within the
last few weeks, and il looks 20
me as if the Republicans would
have a walkover in the next cam
paign. This is not a superficial
proposition. It's facts, based on
what 1 have heard democratic
leaders say. When a Democrat
is fair enough to admit that he
has only a fighting chance, that
is enough. Such men as Virgil
Conkling and others concede
that we viii eternally wipe out
the Democratic majority.
The fact of the matter is,
Missouri has been a Republican
state for a number of years. The
Democrats themselves know this
fun well. They have been able
to save the marty only through
the machine in St. Louis. With
the prospect of a breakup in the
voting machine here, the Repub-
licans will get their just dues,
which means a good healthy ma
for the state ticket when.
ever a fair election in St. Louis
is assured.

Powers case in Kentucky is a de-
cision in his favor by which the
case is transferred to the United
States court because of illegality
in the three trials ne has had in
the State courts. From this de
cision the state of Kentucky has
appealed to the Supreme court
of the United States. If the
Supreme court upholds the de
cision of the lower court Powers
will have his fourth trial in the

FIRST DISTRICT CONVENTIONS.

Two political conventions were held
on the Shore this week, one in Talbot
and the other in Kent The faction of
the Talbot Democracy headed by Joseph
B. Harrington, which supported Gener-
al Joseph b. Seth in his candidacy for
the Senatorial nomination was success
full at the primaries and dominated the
County Convention in Easton last Tues
day. The ticket nominated will have
the support of united and militant
Democracy, as all fractional bitterness
has disappeared and the Wrightson and
Harrington followers are all working
together for the success of the ticket.
On Tuesday the Democracy of Kent
held its County Convention and nomi-
mated ticket, which the daily papers
state will receive the support of all
Democrats. Quite contest was waged
at the primaries throughout the county
last Saturday between the Barroll fac
ton and the Smith Usilton faction. The
latter won surprising victory and con-
trolled the nominating convention. The
convention endorsed the Franchise
Amendment to the Constitution.

The Philadelphia Record.

A Philadelphia merchant who spends
hundreds of thousands of dollars every
year for advertising was asked the other
day what newspaper he considered the
best medium through which to reach the
public. His answer was unhesitatingly
THE Philadelphia Record
Then he went on to say: Il have
used The Record for years-in fact,
ever since have been advertising, and
find that it brings me the best results
1t isn't necessary to experiment with
The Record The experienced business
man realizes that the money he spends
to reach the readers of that paper is
money well invested The Record is
read thoroughly. A great many people,
men especially, make a pratice of buy
ing several newspapers during the course
of a day. They glance over the pages
casually to see if there is anything of
particular interest, and then throw them
aside. But have come to the conclu-
sion from long observance that The
Record is the paper that is read thor
oughly from beginning to end"
The Philadelphia merchant was I'M
doubtedly right There is no disputing
the fact that 1.-The Record is the most
popular paper in Philadelphia, and its
influence throughout the surrounding
country is evidenced by its claim to the
largest circulation of any newspaper
published in the State Of Pennsylvania,
a claim that is without doubt based
upon actual figures. Nor is this strange
considering its merits. 1t is in every
sense of the term family paper clean,
wholesome, bright, entertaining, a
welcome visitor to the home circle.
