Under cover of a cry for a square
dear and fair election" the men
who represent the Republican, party
machine in Cairo and Alexander
county have done some things which
fair minded public can not possibly
approve. In fact some of their acts
are quite extraordinary as examples
Of crooked" politics
As is known, under the law the
Chairmen of the county central com.
committees are authorized to name
the election judges and clerks. Wa
ten II. Wood. as chairman of the
Republican county central commit ae
named the judges and clerks for his
party some time ago Hon Mil s
| Frederick Gilbert, as chairman of the
Democratic county central committee
named the Democratic judges and
clerks. These nominations were sub
uittea to the BOARD of County Com,
missicners for approval. 1t is pre-
sCmed that in the naming of these
judges and clerks, all parties and fac
tions will have representation in OF.
der that the interests of all may be
locked after and protected according
to law
But it is stated that Mr. Wood, as
chairman of the Republican commit,
tea did not name a single man favor
able to Mr. Parsons-every one OF
them is said to be a partisan of Cart.
Tbistlewood and an uncompromising
opponent of Mayor Parsons. All OF
them are said to have been selected
with special reference to their enmity
toward Mr.. Parsons, and although Mr..
Persons may claim a very large pro
pcrtiCn of the Republican party il
this county as his following he has
not one man among the Republican
Judges aud clerks, in any Of the
twenty-five precincts in the county.
1t is not calling i'm question the
honorable purpose of any of the men
thus named to say that the known
fact that all Of them are friendly to
Capt. Thistlewood, and unfriendly to
Mr. Parsons-friendly to the ma
chine and untriendly to the people
is Justly a matter for severe criticism
and popular disapproyal.

call for and he felt comparatively

notice to him, for the purpose of re-
yising aud changing the list of Demo
cratic judges and clerks, removing
some and putting in their places men
who also would be favorable TO Capt
Tmstlewood, Democrats demonstrated
with them against this proceeding. on
the eve of the election. Hon Walter
Warder was notified and he hurried
to the court house aud insisted that
If any such action was to be taken

turity to be present and due notice
should be given. Upon these protests
and representations the meeting OF

Democratic Judges and clerks remain
as named by Mr. Gilbert.

There's another ugly circumstance
which is in line with the highfhanded-
assumption of authority by the ma
chine bosses and carries with It a
clear violation of the election law.
This law requires that the chairman
of the county central committee snail
call meeting Of the committee at a
given time before any election. and
the committee shall name chal-
leueers for all the polling places.
Such a meeting has not been called
anG and no challengers had been
named as the law requires up to last
|niLht. But they will be unlawfully
named today. probably by Chairman
Wood. and. as in the case of the
judges and clerks, every one of them
will be for Capt. Thistlewood and
against Mr. Parsons.
An this is what they call square
deal" "a fair election and govern
ment by the people.

SENATOR ALLISON.

1884, 1890 and 1902. His term would have expired March 4, 1909.
 While the immediate cause of Sen ator Allison's death was heart fail ure, the end came as result of serious sinking spell due to pros tatic enlargement, complicated with kidney disease and during period of unconsciousness which lasted since Saturday afternoon.
 Two weeks ago the senator left his home in this city to escape the heat. He went to the home of Mrs. Fannie Stout, friend of the family, living on the Asubry road few miles from town. For few days his condition seemed to improve, but he later began to grow worse. Medical advisers urg- ed that an operation be performed to relieve the prostatic enlargement, which was bringing his condition to crisis.
 Saturday morning the senator was brought back home. Soon afterward he relapsed into condition of semi consciousness. Except for brief peri ods of partial recovery, he remained in this condition until death came.
 In 1881 he was offered the position of secretary of the treasury of the United States by President Garfield, but declined to accept the office. In 1889 he again refused the office when rendered him by President Harrison. For the third time he refused the of flee when it was offered him by Pres ident Mckinley in 1897
 In 1892 he was chairman of the in- ternational monetary conference at Brussels.
 He was a candidate for the presi- dential nomination before the national Republican convention in 1888, and again in 1896
 Shortly after his first election to the house Mir. Allison's ability was recog- nized by his appointment to the ways and means committee. He immediate ly secured the confidence of the lead CTS of his party, and it was Senator Allison as much as any man then in the service of the people who planned and carried through all the great measures for the conduct of the civil war, the re-estoblishment of the na- tional credit and the development of the national resources.
 His aid in the nomination of Abra- ham Lincoln as Republican candidate for president in 1860 was perhaps Sen ator Allison's first great service for his country, being an Iowa delegate to the Republican convention at Chi cago that year.
 Tn the recent Republican primaries Senator Allison defeated Governor Cummins as the candidate of his party before the legislature for the term beginning March 4, 1909. He had served in the senate longer than any senator. AS chairman of the commit. teen on appropriations much of the fl. nancial legislation passed through his | hands.

Due to Defective Motor.

Friederichshafen, Aug. 6.-Thou sands of people who waited from day. break for the return of County Zelle- pins airship from it's record-breaking voyage was greatly disappointed when 1t became known shortly after ten o'clock Wednesday the airship had been compelled to go down at Echter. dingen. A special train took three carloads of gas to Echterdingen. Twenty carloads are required to fill the giant balloon.
 From a reliable source the informa- tion is obtained defective motor was really responsible for the landing.

Travels Throuuh oil.

Philadelphia, Aug. 6.-Captain Ol sen of the Norwegian steamship Cap tain Bennett, which arrived here from Jamaica. found big area of oil off the North Carolina coast, evidently the cargo of some petroleum carrier which may have foundered in the re- cent storm. He says that when off Cape Hatteras the vessel passed through oil floating on the surface of the water covering more than 100 miles, extending in all directions. Within the petroleum area the oil still. ed the sea and it was as calm as the Delaware river on 8 summer day.

pin is safe.
 The storm blew up unexpectedly. A fierce gust of wind tore the balloon from its anchorage and drove it in a southwesterly direction for some fifty yards. Here the rear end of the great fabric dropped and smoke and flames soon burst out from one end to the other Then in few seconds came the explosion, and a great column of flame shot upward. This was follow ed by a crashing down to earth of the motor and frames that had been at tached to the under side of the air ship. Several bystanders were knock ed down.
 Two causes conspired to make it necessary to land the airship at Ech- rdingen-overheating of piston box of forward motor and escape of con siderable gas, owing to the fact that the count took the airship to height of about 5000 feet.
