CUMBERLAND
DEMOCRATS
MUCH AMUSED

The EFFORTS OF the Colt Perry organ to
create dissenslon in the Democratic
ranks by expressions OF sympathy and
advice 10 the voters who opposed the
nomination Of Senator McKenna last
week. are creating considerable amuse-
nent among the Democrats.
The election OF the Democratic renro-
sentative ticket is conceded by that na
per, but IL was predicted that Senator
Mckenna would be defeated on account
oI lne 1etecuon at the polls OF those who
opposed him In the caucus
The records OF the Democratic vote for
the last six years need only be looked I'm
TO see that although there have beei,
warm contests I'm the caucuses, vet when
election day came around the variation
In the number of votes cast for the as
sembly ticket has never exceeded 25
The small number OF Republicans present
az their caucus last week and the lack
sahna o1 ,hterest sh9wn own Is San an evidence of the
kenna will lead his ticket this year as
usual.
There is something significant in the
tact that Charles ONeal, the Republican
candidate, is trusted empoye OF the n.
Y, n. III. q II. railroad.
The interest of these large public service
corporations and the interests OF the peo.
pie are not always identical, and it Is IA
question where Mr.. ONeal would stano
~ he were elected in case he saw a di-
vided duty before him
Senator Mckenna, on the contrary has
SHOWN by his record that the interest OF
the people is always uppermost with him
and there is no question hut that he has
made many personal sacrifices I'm the past
I'm this respect
The fact that the Democratic candidates
II elected are pledged TO vote for r. II l.
Goddard for United States senator will
gain them many votes this year in Cum
berland.
In the congressional fight thse is no
question that Adm B. Capron is up
against the hardest proposition I'm ex-
GOV Garvn he has ever encountered.
His characteristic attitude OF tmidty
and evasion contrasted with the we'll
known feaiiessness OF the governor on all
public questions, will nave its effect when
the votes are counted on Nov. !. In 1904
Capron's majority over Franklin Z. Owen
votes. In 1892 Capron only beat owen 1853
votes In n total vote OF about 270o0.
The popularity OF Gov. Garvin among
the labor unions is we'll known and Cum
berland will this year give him a large
majority.
His election is in the minds OF many DO
litcal prophets only foregone conclu-
sion.
Democratic rallies will be held next
week I'm Ashton and Valley Falls. and the
only thing the Democratic voters I'm this
town now have 10 fear is too much over
confidence.
