DR.. CHAS. U. GRAvATT F0a SENATE

There is a strong effort being made to
have DR.. Chss u. Gravatt,of Port Royal.
Caroline county, announce himself a
candidate for the Senate In opposition To
Hon. HIT Wickham. Should the Doctor
decide to do so he will no doubt via, as
his candidacy will appeal TO the people
of the District as that OF almost no other
man. and he will without doubt be-
warmly supported all over the District.
DR.. Grayatt is a retired officer OF the /.
s. Navy and has for several years de
voted bimseli to scientific aud practical
farming, and has been very successful
he Is In thorough accord with the senti-
ment of the farming classes, OF which the
District is almost wholly composed. He
is educated, honest and capable, man
of the highest principal, and has all the
requisites necessary TO make the people
an excellent representative.
During the month OF March, last
year. the Legislature being In SEES
sion, their House passed a reso-
luton, by more than a two-thlrds vote.
proposing an amendment to the consti-
tuition, making corporation attorneys
ineligible for membership to either branch
OF the Legislature.
This resolution was sent to the Senate
Tor concurrence; II was there referred 10
a committee, where 1t slept the sleep OF
death Now, my fellow readers, what
does this mean? 1t means that our law
makers, who are in position to know
even better than we, recognize the TACT
that IL il most inimical to the interest Of
the people that corporation attorneys
should he the lawmakers.
Hon. Henry T. Wickham has been
leading counsel for the c. < o. Railway
for years and at the same time has been
a very prominent member OF the State
Senate.
The C. x 0. Railway is said to be con
trolled by the Penna. Railway and the
n. &W. by the c. Il q. and il this Is true,
which it no doubt is, the c. & D. is the
GREATEST corporation in the State and
we are now represented by the chiei
counsel of the greatest corporation IN
the State. With the above facts
known to all intelligent men OF the Dis
trict, il has been great surprise 70
many that Mr.. Wickham should offer
himself again as q candidate.
That Mr.. Wickham has the boldness to
offer himself for reelection under the e1-
listing circumstances and conditions l.
truly remarkable and is OF itself proof
positive that we badly need a change.
1t behooves the Democratic party OF the
District, and it Is incumbent upon them,
to see that the party has a good, clean,
able candidate, one on whom there is no
faint, and their failure to do 40 will
greatly jeopardize the interest OF the
party. The times have changed, condi-
tions have changed, the electorate has
changed, the people are awake and they
will not longer stand for a continuance
OF Mr.. Wickhsm in the Senate. DR..
Grayatt will Hll the bill and he should let
the people hear from him at once.

For Presidential Nomination.
WANTS THE PEOPLE TO DECIDE

Suggests Primary Election to Choose
Candidate for Republican National
Ticket and United States sena.
tor.
Washington. March 27.-That Sena-
Tor Foraker does not concede that
Secretary Taft will be Ohio's choice
for the presidential nomination next
year is made plain by a statement Is
sued by the senator. Senator Foraker
saws that he does not want any po-
litical honors from the people OF Ohio
without their hearty approval AMI
he suggests that the proper way to
determine who is the choice of tho
people to head the Republican national
ticket and to represent the state tn
the United States senate Is for the
Republican state executive committee
to authorize a primary election to
choose delegates 10 the state conven-
ton. which will be called upon to de
termine these questions.
The announcement Of State Super
intendcnt Of Insurance Arthur |. Vorys
that he will support Secretary TAFT
for the presidential nomination led
Senator Foraker. 1t is believed. to Is
sue the statement outlining his posi-
ton. The senator declares that he Is
willing to go before the people on
his record, and that he has nothing
to conceal from his constituents. Mr..
Foraker does not say that he will be a
candidate to succeed President
Roosevelt. but ii is generally under
stood among his friends in Washing
ton that at a later date he will for
mally announce his candidacy and
that If the primary election is called
in Ohio he will enter into the fight to
secure the Endorsement OF his own

PROSPERITY AND HIGH PRICES

PROSPERITY AND HIGH PRICES
The continually increasing price
Of all kinds OF necessities, such AZ
food stuffs, clothing and household
goods of every description, serves but
to emphasize the outrageousness Of
our presnt tariff laws. How much
longer are the people OF this country
going to allow themselves to be fool
cd into believing that a high tariff
brings prosperity? The outcome o.
such a law al the Dingley law ID
naturally higher wages, but not be
cause OF any increased prosperity
As q natural result OF prices being
raised In exorbitant manner the lab
oring man receives sop in the way
OF more pay. Beguiled by this in
crease OF pay he fails to take into
consideration the fact that the en-
tire Increase and u good deal OF the
balance Is absorbed In paying for the
excess cost on tariff protected arti
cles. Ii is an absolute fact that the
increase OF wages won't come any
where near balancing with the In
creased cost OF living, but it is hard
to make the average man realize
this condition. Pass high tariff
Law, pay the average laboring man
81 per day instead OF $3.50 and he
thinks prosperity is upon him and
gives thanks to the Republican
party and high tariff, entirely for
getting that the extra 30 cents pei
day will be more than exhausted In
meeting the higher cost which results
from the same tariff law. 1t is a
bunco game which has been, to use
q slang expression, worked over
time In this country, thanks to the
credulity OF the people and the mis-
takes OF the Democratic party, but
there must be, as Abe Lincoln used
to say, q time when all the people
can't be fooled. Such a time is at
hand now il the Democrats only
seize the opportunity.
