for cotton.

1t would be difficult to con-
ceive of anything concerning which
there is such difference of opin-
ion as to the condition of our
country at this time. There IS
evidently a serious lack of care
full discrimination or conscientious
estimation il the application of
measurements and standards by
which one or the other of the
two great political parties in this
country estimate its present out.
look.
The Republican platform. as ar
nounced few weeks ago, puts
the English language to the sever
est test to which it has purhaps
ever been subjected, by the use
of our strongest affections in the
superlative degree, in painting a
picture of the present state Of
prosperity that foams and spark
les and overruns all the edges
of our National domain, North,
East, South and West, and piled
to enormous nights in the middle.
1t is no wonder that Kings,
Princes and potentates of foreign
lands peer with anxious and long
ing eye through the bars of their
narrow and Impoverished confines
when there is spread before them
such a view of this land of the
free and the home of the brave,
flowing with the peace and plenty
of milk and money.
According to that document,
coming as some might suppose,
from the highest authority in the
nation, everything is just as it
should be and all that could
well be desired, and all that re-
mains to be done is to retain the
republicans in power to keep it
that way.
On the other hand the Demo-
cratic platform points out many
wrongs that need to be righted-
many defects, short comings and
abuses in the administration of
stfairs-abuses and defects which
if not speedily remidied will re-
suit in disaster. The court of
final appeal for the determination
of this question, as to whether
everything is as it should be or
not, is the people who will rem
der their verdict by the ballots
they cast this fall. The campaign
is likely to be one of the liveli-
est we have had in many years
and the present indications are
that it will be close race.
When any party in power be-
comes thoroughly satisfied with its
record, cannot see its defects or is
unwilling to acknowledge that it
has any, then it is time for the
people to try something else and
they will unusually do 1t.

This law simply puts the machinery
in your hands. You can use it If you

In his speech Saturday Mr.. watson
had the following to say regarding
county local option. Mr.. Watson did
not evade the issue, he did not equivo-
cate; he stood square1y on the platform
which the party gave him and this is
what. he said, in part:
This year, for the first time in its
history. the democratic party comes
over and indorses the theory of local
option by township and ward, which
the republican party has already pro-
vided for by remonstraDce. but the
democratic party asks that it be by
vote.
They want to hold an election and
vote upon the proposition by a secret
ballot instead of filing legal paper
But this year the republican party
comes along and demands county local
option. We said that the people in any
county in the state of Indiana ought
to be allowed to determine whether Oh
not they want saloons within theil
county.

| publican platform, the platform | &C
