is prohibition. The second great
party of this state has declared for
prohibition and it is our belief, that
if the people who really want state
prohibition will vote for what they
want, we can get it.
2. Temperance sentiment in this
state has grown to be so strong that
no party declares for anything less
than local option. Therefore. the
liquor men must vote for that meas
ure if they vote at all. They cannot
vote the party prohibition platform,
for it aims directly at their business.
They will not vote the socialist
ticket, because socialism aims. at the
destruction of all needless product

needless and unproductive toll would

Editor Morning Herald: Your let
ter asking if / favor local option as
a political measure to be adopted by
the people of this state, is at hand.
i am compelled TO say no: but in do

in asking the question, and proper
regard for the opinions of those who
may not agree with me, demands that
I give You my reasons as follows:
1. That which the temperance
people of this state desire. the end
that many local option advocates
themselves have in view, is state pro-
hibition. Local option with them is

die a debt of about twenty-five or
thirty dollars on each polling district.
AS there are hundreds of them in the
state stupendous. amount will have
to be paid.
Again, no party or republic can
endure when 40 per cent or less of
it's voters can control the offices and
interests of the state.
The direct primary permits all the
officers to be elected from single
city or district, instead of an equita-
BILE distribution, as by the nominal
ing convention.
With tie present primary law in
full swing. if it has come to stay the
grand old republican party is making
its last campaign in the state. The
democratic party has nothing to lose
but es erything to gain.
Very respectfully,
J. H. THOMAS.

SAYS cURTIsSTo cLAREY

Frank Curtiss, the Sheffield millionaire candidate for representative, thinks himself better qualified, than John E. CIarey to represent the district in the legislature. Here is what he says to Clarey about 1t ill a letter printed in the Pittsfield Eagle,
 Are you the man to obtain what this district wants rather than l, or am l a better man than you to do the work? am confident enough .from what hayt accomplished ill life, ,b believe that I ain better equipped than }ou b.s experience, by knowledge of men and by knowing that men rely upon me. These qualifi- cations secure results.
 He declines MT. Clarey's challenge to public debate saying that MT. Clarey has already said all there is to be said i'll his paper and could say nothing new to those who might gather to hear the verbal contest But nobody must get the idea that he is afraid or couldn't de- bate if he wanted to. Along this line he says:
 'sI decline to meet you in public de- bate not through any timidity or feel ing of lack of ability, but do so as bus mess proposition.
 The letter rather borders on the sar- castle from start to finish.

STATESMAN, POLITICIAN

It is the belief of many people that the speeches by candidates for political of- flee make no votes. It all depends on the speech and on the candidate. We believe that every speech made by governor Hughes of New York strength ems his position and increases the pros pect of his election. There is person. ality about the man and an earnest traightforwardness about his utter ances that appeal to the people. He meets every issue squarely, defines his attitude clearly and convinces his hear CTS of his honesty of purpose and his de- sire to administer the affairs of state fairly, and impartially. Governor Hughes rises above the level of the poli- tician; he is statesman and we believe he will be elected by decisive majority.

DoMoNIE "sHooED" FEM AWAY

That Lepox domonie who told the newspaper men they mustn't come to his church any more because some of the elite objected to being written up tor be couse they were not written up enough) has furnished an excuse which many a newspaper man can give to his wife hereafter when he don't want to go to church, 1. G., that he fears the preacher will send him home. But with regard to the Lenox incident; the pencil pushers will probably get as much society news as of yore and if human natura up there is like it is i'll some other places, they Il have more to say about the moneyed set than they said before preacher Arrow smith was importuned to "shoo' them away.

SMALL WORDS OF GREAT MEN

The man who is prone to the use of "hifalutin," ;" words and extravagant ex pressions in his speaking or writing, should find an object lesson ill the pub lie utterances of President Theodore Roosevelt, William J. Bryan, William H. Taft and Governor Hughes, all highly educated men.
 It will be observed that when they make speeches or give out statements to the press, they clothe their ideas i'll plain, simple language, language quickly and easily understood by the nearer or the reader. The use of large words which the masses do not generally un- derstand does not denote education or superior qualities of mind-oft times the reversev-nor does it have as great effect as the plainly -worded statement. The average reader of to-day, with the mass of literature at h1s disposal, does not go about with a dictionary ill his pocket to aid him in fathoming the meaning of words not ill every day use When he finds an article in which such words abound, he does not take the trouble to wade through it and the high flown sentiments of the writer are lost. He turns to something he can under stand and reads it with satisfaction, therefore the man who uses the simple words is the man who most effectively places his views before the public.

THE WHY OF IT

Disgust because of the campaigning methods of both, or all, political parties this fall may have something to do with the seeming indifference as to the out come of election, particularly outside the cities. ...-
 Day in and day out the newspapers have told of charge and counter charge, of plot and counter plot, of accusation and denial of libel suits and the like that have resulted from the war of words which has been carried on by Bryan. Haskell, Hearst, Day and others of equal renown. And so far as concerns this verbal warfare, one party is as deep in the mud as the other Is Ill the m1re The few issues there are in the campaign are lost sight of in this mass of talk and villifcation which detracts from the degnity and careful consideration of facts, plans and platforms which should characterize an event of so great inn portance as campaign preceding the choosing of chief exectutive of the na- tion.
 Both democrats and republicans are heard to remark that they are so thoroughly tired of it all that they care little which party wins. And some have gone so far as to say that they do not propose to take the trouble to vote. Every American citizen is possessed of the right of franchise and he should exercise it but the feeling of apathy above re- ferred to is not to be wondered at in view of the 1908 campaigning methods.

QUITE TELLER"

To judge from the letter candidate Curtlss sent to candidate Clarey, candi. date Curtiss thinks himself "quite a feller.'' But whether he debates or whether he don't, he'll give Clarey a close rub. He didn't ask anyone to vote for him when he donated $5000 toward the construction of a new school build ing in Sheffield therefore it's likely to bring him moro votes than if he had asked for them.
