DEMOC RATS YOU HAVE
GOOD CANDIDATE FOR
CONGRESS!

The nomination of Mr.. Harvey r..
Spessard for Congress by the Sixth
District Democrats at Hagerstown last
week has been received with great salts
faction, as also the further fact that he
intends to make an aggressive cam
paign.
Mr.. Spessard is not what would he
termed a prominent politician but he
is an active Demscrat in the sense that
he is always ready to answer his partys'
call and the fact that he was nominal
ed two years ago on the delegate ticket
shows that he has the honor strap Il
Democracy on his brow. That is, of all
things a necessity, these days Of re-
formers and so-called independents,
aud a man that is afraid to march
under his party banner, can look else
where for support. Many have abused
Its sainted precepts and the mistakes Of
those in command have often brought
disaster, but the stirling worth of the
tenents of faith and the principles that
attract the allegiance of millions of
voters, cannot be destroyed by the acls
OF few dissenters here and there at
their pleasure
Mr.. Spessard will be better known TO
our people later, when he gets among
them and tells them what he proposes
to do. should he be elected. He is a
man of direct speech and few frills al d
shows determination and honesty in
his face.
Let the Democrats of old Frederick
county stand up and be counted. No
votes thrown away On Pearre this wear,
for it looks as if the efforts that will be
made against him are going to count
strong. Whilst you vote for principle
and platform you can also vote for a
good, clean, honest man-Haryey r.

REVILING THE DEMOCRATS

Mr. Taft is disputing with Mr..
Roosevelt the championship of the
noble profession of c-hidiug
the truth. In his speech to the negr, es
and F deral otiice-h nlders of North
Carolina, he declared that while the
Democratic leaders have heen for years
declaring against corporations, "they
have instituted no legislative steps in
all this time 10 restrain the abuses. "
Taft knew this TO be utterly f,lse He
knew, for instance, that the Tlllman-
Gillespie resolution under which the
Standard Oh Company aud the rail-
roads are now being Investigated was
of Democratic origin. He knew that
the Tillman bill to prohibit corpora
tions from contributing to parry cor
ruprion funds-a bill which passed the
Senate, tut which WAS opposed by
Root, Roosevelt, and TAFT, so that it
failed in the House-was of Democratic
origin. He knew that the Democrats
in Congress have introduced number
less measures designed to curb the
trusts by ABOLISH 6 the tariff duties
Oh trust made goods He knew that
nearly every democratic State had
established railroad commission
to prevent extortions and discrimina-
tions by the railroad companies. In

doing. Let him read what Roosevelt
has written about liars, and he will

Roosevelt has told him not to believe

WHAT Is BACK OF THE CUBAN
INTERVENTION STUNT.

The Baltimore San had leaiing
editorial in its issue Of Tuesday last,
in which it deprecates even the slight,
est idea on the part of anyone to annex
Cuba for the benefit of the trusts.
Under present conditions 1t looks as if
the Suns fears are not without sub
stantial grounds, aside from assuming
that the big combines will fasten upon
Cuba the letters and bonds that they
have upon the mo her country. AL
ready American capital has invested
largely in Cuban c,,ffee, sugar, cattle
and hard wood interests, and if the
barriers are thrown down, what enor-
nous advantages they Will derive from
the high prices here, with no duty to
come out, az is now the case.
Another point that the average per-
son has possibly not known, or if
known, readily forgotten, as things go
these days, is the presence on the island
of an accredited official of the govern
Der of banking firm in New York
City, which has always been motor
iously in the van Wien any big deals
were to be pulled off among the big
industrial aud railroad enterprises.
But We will let our correspondent take
this part of the story in his own words
and our readers can draw their own
conclusions:
The people generally of this coun-
try are just now wondering why the
trouble in Cuba arose and why The
President af the United States was SO
quick to rush in and again play the
mediator between peoples who were
at enmity. | believe | know he rta-
son why all this trouble came about
and why the President is now sending
ENJOYS of peace to the troubled island.
1t Will be noticed that one Robert
Bacon, Assistant Secretary of state is
one of the ENJOYS. DO you know who
this Robert Bacon is? He is Junior

Bacon out Of that office at the dictate
of Morgan and placed him in q posi-
ton where he could best suDserve the
interests ofhis banking house. Morgan
and his Interests knew that sooner or
later tn trouble must come in Cuba
because they were pressing the Presi-
dent OF that young republic for certain
concessions that he in his honesty re-
fused to concede to them They then
fomented this strife and now have
sent their own agent there to patch up
a peace which Will be at the EXPENSE
OF the people of Cuba or put President
Palma out of his office When Bacon
returns here he either will have in his
pocket the contestants that Morgan
demands or President Palma's scalp.
They then will put in office backed by
the soldiers and sailors of America
their own plant tool, or else take over
the island. That is the game that
Roosevelt is playing for the benefit of
the captains of finance while the
people look on aud applaud him as a
pacificator and pace loving Presi-
dent. The gullibility of the public
of this country is proverbial hut Oh
Heavens how it now is being fooled
