OF ALLEGANY COUNTY.
THE VERDICT OF TUESDAY NEXT.
What we believe will be recorded as one
Of the most memorable political campaigns
In the history of the American Republic is
fast drawing to q close. Before another
issue OF the SENTINEL shall be sent out to
its readers one OF the most momentous YER.

ed by the greatest jury that ever decided an
ssue.
What shall the verdict be?
We feel assured 1t will be in favor Of the
election OF Bryan and Kern and Democratic
House of Representatives, not merely be-
cause we are allied with the Democratic
party, but because we know that truth and
right are mighty and must in the end pre-
vail because we believe that fraud and false
pretense must ultimately and inevitably fail.

times permits the devil to WELD temporarily
In this world Of ours, this man Roosevelt was
elected to the Presidency in 1904. Since his
election he has proven himself TO be the
most contemplate political fakir that ever
trod in shoe leather.
Shrewdly divining that the American
electorate would not tolerate him beyond
second term, he selected weak and fiabby
man named Taft-a chronic offlceholder-
to be his successor. He used his power
the power of the Government of the United
States-to force the nomination Of Taft by
the Republican party; he used that power,
through his servile offlceholders, to force
upon the Republican party platform that
means nothing in God Almighty's world but
hypocrisy, perfdy and dishonor. Since his
nomination Taft has demeaned himself as
Theodore Roosevelt's mental tool, even ask
ing his permission as to what he should say
in the campaign, and, when left to his own
resources, has pitiably posed in the presence
of expectant audiences, without word to
say, for fear he might say something that
would not meet the appreciation Of his wide.
mouthe6 master.
Taft Pitiabe Taill Generous souls, please
pity Taft
What about William Jennings Bryan, the
opponent OF Taft-no, not only the opponent
Of poor Tait-the opponent of the perverted
power Of the great Government Of these
United States as prostituted to base political
ends by the dangerous and interruptions
Rooseveltp
Who lie William Jennings Bryant He
never rode a patient horse forty miles
through the Philippines and Dragged about
1t in cablegram at Government expense.
He never shot Spaniard In the back.
Roosevelt, who did, may have all the glory
that belongs TO such performance, II that
brings any credit to his man Taft.
Bryan is one of the most marvellous men
that ever lived. For the past twelve years
he has been fighting for the welfare OF the
people OF this country. Since the opening
of this campaign he has not rested night nor
day; almost single handed he has combated
all the power (perverted and prostiluted
power) OF the Government of the United
States and he has gone forward In the fight,
with naught but the appreciation Of the hon
est and patriotic people OF the country be-
hind him, until We believe that Victory will
perch upon the Democratic banner on the
third day of November.
Every report points to triumph OF the
Democracy in this election; every indlca-
ton points to Bryan's election We realize,
however, that In the last hours Of the strug.
gle the Republicans are raising calamity
howl, and are seeking TO influence voters
with the prediction Of business depression
and hard times In the event OF the election
Of Mr.. Bryan. OF course, we all know that
this is untrue, and that 1t will affect only
timId and wavering ones.
Numerically the press OF the country is
against us, but loyal support has been given
by the Democratic and part Of the indie
pendent press, convinced that the election
Of Bryan and Democratic House of Rep
resentatives means the salvation Of decent
government and a return to prosperity and
business confidence in our ill-governed
country. AS the New York Herald so
iorcibly expressed 1t, mo one now fears that
Mr.. Bryan's election would provoke an in
dustrial, commercial and financial cata.
clysm." The very same people who are now
declaring that Democratic success would
produce hard times were the people who
four years ago declared that Republican
success was absolutely essential to pros
perity; but Republican success was schiev.
oil four years ago, and instead of pros
perity there came panic with failures greater
in number and in liabilities for the first nine
months Of this year than for any other pc
Rod in the history of the country, Do the
people want to continue this sort Of "pros
perity"2 We are certain they do not.
We believe that Bryan is going to lead
the Democracy to glorious victory on the
third OF November next, and we beseech ell
men who have at heart the best interest OF
their country TO go to the polls next Tues
day and have part in redeemiDg this coun-
lry from the hands of Its reckless despoilers.
