A Losing Game.

The Standpatters are up against
it. They are comellped to reorga~
nize the fact that the Republican
party is far from being Committed
to the support Of high tariff views.
The Washington Post of July 28th,
ono of the most influential news
papers ut the capital, contains the
account of an interview with Mr..
Elmer Dover, secretary Of the Re-
publican National Committee, in
which at gentleman comes out fiat
footed against the idea that stand
pat is an issue in this campaign,
and must be upheld by all means.
lit 10 useless to close our eyes"
says Mr.. Dover, among other things
ITO the fact that there is a de-
mand for tariff revision in many
parts of the country, and there are
man Republican candidates for Con-
gress 20 whom it might prove dis
astrous to stand pat this fall"
: Mr.. Dover also adds this: II be-
lieve the question of revision will
be taken up by Congress before tho
next national campaign:
Mr.. Dover is certainly a higher
authority than Mr.. McCleary. He
was a friend Of the late Mark Han
ma, ard is in: a position to grasp
fully the tariff question and speak
of it from various standpoints,
while Mr.. cCleary can see but one
side of it seemingly that of the cor
porate interests Of the country.
Mr.. Dover is right when he says
of the tariff QUESTION: II believe,
also, that the republicans will hand
le it in a manner satisfactory to the
country" But this cannot be done
by mon Of Mr.. McCleary's make

The declaration in metropolitan
state platform in favor OF the tax
amendment tto the constitution in
dicaes a determination to do some-
thing effective along the line Of
reforming our tax laws. Under
our present system not only is the
burden Of taxation unfairly dis
tributed, but premium is put upon
dishonesty. ...'.
It is not in the nature Of things
for a system Of taxation to be pop
ular. People will awlays oavil at =
measure which requires them to pay
for the support Of the government.
But while such a system cannot be
popular, there is no reason in the
world why it should not be fair and
equitable. AS step in reforming
our laws the Republican platform
favors the passage Of the. tax amend
ment to be submitted at the coming
election. It would be we'll for vo-
ters to familiarize themselves with
it so that they can act intelligently
when the time comes.

As 4 candidate for the Office o.
State Senator, I make the follow
ing announcement.
stand for, and will uphold by
my vote if elected, the following
principles. believing them to be
not only right but good business.
stand -four square" for the
principles as set forth by our Pres
ident, Theodore Roosevelt.
stand squarely on the Republi'
can platform as adopted by the par
ty convention at Duluth.
I believe in q square deal for ev.
erybody; that it is not right for the
rich to Cypress the poor nor for the
great to crowd the small to the
wall.
I believe in the equal obedience
to la " by every one, be he rich or
poor, by he great corporations and
the small merchant, by the high
official and the private citizen, by
the saloon and the church, by the
man IN an automobile and the man
in the cart.
I believe that no public official
should ride on a pass or have free
service by any corporation.
I believe that the small dealer and
farmer should have an equal chance
with the large and great.
I believe in Civic righteousness
as opposed to all greed and graft
If elected, I pledge myself 20 vote

Who Will Be State Senator.

Who Will Be State Senator.
The announcement Of s. B. Bed
ford that he is q candidate for sena:
tor from this district came as = sur
prise to the writer, but surprises as
we all know, are nothing unusual
in these days. l was surprised sim.
ply because I had never heard the
slightest intimation Of anything Of
the kind, not surprised because
thought that MIR. Bedford was aspi-
ring to q position for which he pos
sessed- no fitness. On the contrary
I look upon Mr.. Bedford as one d
the very best men in the district to
represent US as senator.
In the first place, Mr.. Bedford
is man of good, hard, common
sense q man of sound judgment.
He is no impractical theorlst no ia.
uatic OF, wild enthusiast on any sub.
ject. He does not always come to
a decision at once, but when b g
does decide he usually decides WISE
~, and having made his decision
you may know just where to find
him. he il not a man to be turned
either by brides or tire ats from
what he honestly believes to be
right.
He ia q successful business man,
He commenced life, like the most
of US, with little or nothing, but by
good business management and I'M
firing industry he has built up a
aourishing business to-day he
stands in the front rank of the SELF
made men of Mobiles county. When
we need q man to do business for
the public give us the man that
knows how to do business for him
self.
But that above all other things
commends him to his fellow citi-
zens is his uprightness of character.
No man who knows S. b. Bedford
is afraid to trust him. As a man of
integrity and of the strictest honor,
no man in Nob::es county is his su-
perior. This may be regarded by
some as rather extravaganza lam
guage, but I have been intimately
acquainted with Mr.. Bedford for
more than twenty years, and that
is just the kind of a man I have
ever found him. I knew him when
he begun life in very small way
in the little hamlet Of Rushmore
knew him when he was at the head
of the only mercantile house in the
same town, and / have known him
of late years as banker, and in all
these several positions, he has ever
shown himself the same upright
man, and has retained the esteem
and confidence of all who have had
business relations with him.
What has been 9 aid has not been
