Not Due to Night Riders.

Harrodsburg, KY, March 23.-The re-
port sent out from Harrodsburg that
night riders last night whipped farm
er and burned his house in this coun-
ty is entirely without foundation, and
the residents of that section of the
county are indignant that such a re-
port should have been sent out.
A fmall tenement, house on the
farm of J. L. Tobin, and occupied by
a negro, was burned, having caught
from a defective flue, and there was
not the least intimation that night
riders had anything to do with the
burning. There has been practically
no trouble from the night riders in
Mercer county. A few farmers have
received notes warning them not to
raise a crop of tobacco this year. All
of those who had contemplated grow
ing a crop have abandoned the idea,
and 1t is not thought now there will
even be any more notes sent.

What will Ohio county Democrats
think of the following dig by their
organ, the Hartford Herald, at poor
old Senator McCreary whom the Beck
ham machine butted off the bridge?
There is this difference between
Ollie James and Senator McCreary-
the latter suffered himself to be re-
peatedly voted for in the race for the
us. Senatorship at Frankfort when he
must have known that il was merely
a play TO the galleries, and the for
mer put a stop to this sort of thing
on his own behalf and quickly sent
word that he wanted the regularly
nominated candidate-Mr. Beckham-
elected Quite a distinction and diff
ference" Senator McCreary, who
made speeches for Hager and Beck
ham, after his shameful treatment
was at Washington attending to his
official duties. The Herald, however,
thinks he should have gone down to
Frankfort and dashed those who vot-
ed for him into line. This is only
an evidence of the abject sevitude
to party machine, no matter how cor
rupt, to which years Of cringing have
brought the Herald.

LOUISVILLE HERALD UNFAIR.

The Louisville Herald seems inipu-
ed with a determination to do some
injury to the reputation of the Pres
ident of the American Society Of
Equity. Some time ago 1t published
an editorial, based on an interview
which never took place, severely CEN
surfing Mr.. Barnett. 1t refused to make
correction when politely requested
to do so in letter to Mr.. Newman,
its editor. Last Monday night the
paper sent reporter to the hotel in
Louisville at which he was stopping,
who said he had been sent to get a
statement from MIR. Barnett. The re-
porter was treated with respect and
his ques, ions answered. Tuesday ap-
peared an interview in which Mr.. Bar
nett was made to say things he new
er thought of saying, and, those he
did say in a number of instances, were
left out. Just 10 show how accurate
the Herald can be, he was reported
as being from oxford" and was made
bers of the Society of Equity in Ohio
county, when in fact he said nothing
about how many members are in Ohio
county. Wednesday it treats Mr.. Bar
nett to another editorial castigation
for talking. Mr.. Barnett sought no
talk with the Herald nor any other
paper in Louisville. Had he refused
20 talk the Herald would no doubt
have said he was acting suspiciously,
and that he was contemplating raid.
IN it's attempt to convict the Society
of Equity of connection with night
riders, it quotes from a Cincinnati
press dispatch, which confirmed sale
of all the hurley tobacco, the follow
ing:
"A prominent member of the socie-
~ in confirming the agreement to-day,
said: 1T is all settled. The cruel war
is over and We have won. There will
be no more night riding or violence,
but there will be no 1908 crop of to-
bacco.'
In the same issue in which this ed
itorial is printed, the Herald prints
denial of the whole story of the sale.
OF course the fact that the name of
the prominent member of the socie-
y" is left out makes no material diff
ference 10 the Herald. 1t can, con-
Wet people as well without names as
with them. Now, in order to get at
the bottom of this story, Mr.. Barnett
will give the Herald $50 for the name
of a prominent member of the society
who made the above statement. This
paper has been a very good friend to
the Louisville Herald under it's pres
ent management. 1t has even used
our editorials as advertisements for
the Herald. The fact that it would
seek Mr.. Barnett for an interview.
and then criticise him for talking, is
calculated to crate the suspicion that
it is not actuated by the best Of mo-
| tives to say the least of it.

The Hartford Herald in one breath
declares that this paper completely
"squelched" John Henry Thomas, and
in the next says it wonders if he
wasn't making it little warm" for
us. However, the Herald don't mind
a little Inconsistency like that. 1t has
served its party bosses unflinching-
ly, until it has no mind of its own.
We wonder if Mr.. Thomas did not
make it little warm for the Her
aid. 1t completely overlooked the
meat of his article in the last issue
of this paper, his reference to the
treatment accorded the supporters of
Judge owen by the Herald in 1908.

OF course no Republican in Ohio
county will pay any attention to the
false charge made by the Hartford
Herald, that we are attempting die
tatorship," in the matter of choice
for President. For more than TWEEN
ty years this paper has defended Re-
publicans of Ohio county from attacks
from this same sheet, and nothing
could please it more than to see us
discredited. However, We claim to be
in better position to know the weak
nesses of some OF our candidates than
the great majority of Ohio county
Republicans, and would be remiss in
our duty if We neglected to warn
them.

again placing before the public the
candidacy of Louis N. Chicquette
for Clerk of the Court. He has been
a resident of this corner of the
county since his birth and his
record is clean and open for inspec-
ton. A prominent school teacher
for a number of years, progressive
farmer since majority. An esteemed
leader in his locality for several
years, member of the county board
and now is considered by his many
friends and supporters to be deserv-
ing of higher place in the conf
dence of the people. There being no
question as TO his ability to perform
the work of Clerk of the Circuit
Court, we bespeak for him the loyal
support of all fair minded voters at

To THE VOTERS OF PIERCE COUNTY:
For the first time in the history of
the state of Wisconsin we have an
opportunity of voting for United
States senator. Shall we take adj
vantage of this opportunity with
profit to ourselves? Or shall we
stay at home and let the machine
politicians look after our interests?
That is a question we alone can
answer. If we take no active part
in choosing the men who make the
laws how can we expect much or
anything after the election?
Samuel A. Cook of Neenab, is a
candidate, is not a machine poll
tician and did not consent to go be-
fore the primaries until after he had
been petitioned by over $4,000 vot-
ers in tina. part of the state in
which he lives. He is not only an
able man, but while in congress &C.
tually did something for US. Mr..
Cook is young man, compare
lively speaking, and if elected will
reflect credit on the state. The
race probably lies between Mr..
Cook and Mr.. Stephenson. Mr..
Stephenson, no doubt, is an honor
able gentleman, but who among us
would think of sending man of so
years to look after our private af.
fairs? Why then send one on a
public mission?
The senate is the most important
branch of our national Legislature
and should be composed of ener-
getic representatives of the whole
people, not aged capitalists. Vote
for Samuel A. Cook and you will
make no mistake. T. M. MANIoN,

ROOSEVELT WANTS
JENKINS RETURNED.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Aug. IS.
Especial Perhaps the most in
teresting and important event in the
Eleventh congressional district pri-
mary camp align took place this aft
ernoon when message was receiv-
ed from President Roosevelt advo-
eating the denomination and re-
election of Congressman John j.
Jenkins.
l. L. Lenroot, Mr.. Jenkins OPP
ponent, is telling voters of the dis
trict that he is Roosevelt's man and
that Congressman Jenkins has bee
opposed to the Roosevelt policies,
while Mr.. Jenkins is maintaining it
is matter of record that he has ad
vocated and fought for all of the
Roosevelt measures that have come
before the house. President Roose-
welt deals Mr.. Lenroot's attack a
solar plexus blow by stating that
he hopes the people of this district
will return Mr.. Jenkins to congress
that the congressman may be en-
abled to continue the good work he
has been doing for his constituents
and the people of the country at
large.
Mr.. Lenroot practically calls at
tention to the fact that Mr.. Jenkins
voted for the ship subsidy bill and
that all of the other Wisconsin con-
gressmen voted against it. Mr..
Jenkins admits that he was in favor
Of the measure because President
Roosevelt strongly urged its pas
sage on this question, President
Roosevelt S letter states: Il earn
estly advocate the ship subsidy bill
for reasons set forth in my message
to congress and set forth much
more fully by Secretary of State
Root in his speech showing the ur-
gent need of knitting us in closer
relations with South America. Of
course, very heartily appreciate
the support given the administra-
tion by all congressman who voted
for this measure"

1t is somewhat significant that the
Baltimore Sun and the Cincinnati
Enquirer, leading Democratic jour
mails, favor the election of William
H. Taft to the Presidency. When
such partisan newspapers as the
two mentioned cannot stand for

how the Democracy can now hope
to win out with their twice. defeated
candidate.

The Democratic candidate for the
Presidency is placing special en-
phasis upon the proposition to elect
United States Senator'S by direct
vote of the people. His efforts to
galvanize this idea into a political
issue is far-fetched. The nomina-
ton of candidates at primary cleo
tons is long step in this direction,
and the Republicans have already
made considerable progress along
this line.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION.

The qualified electors of .Wiscon-
sin will next Tuesday, September /,
have an opportunity to exercise one
of the dearest rights and privileges
enjoyed by American freemen. They
may then express by their ballots a
preference for the aspirants for
official honors, for whom they wish
to vote at the general election to be
held in November next. 1t is duty
that every legal voter owes to HIM
self and the government under
which he lives, to exercise his right
of suffrage, both at the primary and
the general elections, that the per-
petuity of our free institutions may
be maintained. The less interest
manifested in governmental affairs
by the great mass of the common
people, the worse will it be for them,
as their lack of interest permits the
growth of abuses that they might
prevent. If you do not attend the
primary election, you will receive
little sympathy in your complaints
at the nominations made.
