Chas. G. Dawes Visits Wall Street ana

Under New York date line OF Sept.
~ III" daily papers of the country
publish a dispatch from which the fol-
lowing IS taken:
THE visit of Charles G.. Dawes, OF
Chicago formerly Comptroller Of the
Currency. had more influence than
ANYTHING else in arousing Wall street
uncaSincss Mr. Dawes came to New
York primarily to raise money for the
Republican congressional campaign
committee. and he gave the people he
called upon very clearly to under
stand that the Republican majority in
the house is in danger.
"Wall street has steeled itself
against the opportunities OF political
canvassors for funds. but Mr. Dawes
visit was unquestionably Impressive.
The people who saw and heard him
were convinced that he really meant
what he said when he announced that
unless means were taken TO arrest the
current and change the situation the
Democrats would swing into control
of the popular branch of congress and
probably elect a president. Mr. Dawes
did not cOnfne his visit alone to
bankers and fnancicrs He devoted a
good share of his attention to leading
representatives Of the manufacturing
interests. He carried away some
money but not nearly as much as he
had hoped for"

The Candidacy of

II you want the deposits in the state
banks guaranteed, vote for Mitchell
Stevnes for joint senator. His oppo-
nent as president of National Bank
and having large amount of the state
funds in his bank is strenuously opposed
to such law: and since the republicans
in their state platform declare for such
law, and the prohibitionst, socialists
and democrats all want it. There is
only one thing for the people to do and
that is to vote for Stevens.
If the people of the 18th Senatorial
district, democrats, republicans, pro-
hibitionists and socialists want an ef-
fective local option bill enacted into
law, vote for Mitchell Stevens. His
opponent, Jno. Fl. Smithson is support
ed by the Royal Arch League. a saloon
organization throughout the state who
are willing that an ineffective local OPP.

are determined to dictate to the voters

Now that the city of Ellens

be a good idea to build structure

and at the same time enable the de
partment to get to the scene of aC-

The quarters now used is di:-
grace to the city, being entirely in

crcases the chances of the boys

posed property. We believe this
matter is of sufficient interest to
warrant the council in taking steps
in tbs matter suggested, and we
trust at no distant day to be able
to announce that the city has let

can afford it. 1t is needed. Why

The enunciation of party principles

with frequent demonstrations of as

had been scheduled in advance, but
owing to the widespread Bryan sem

made and nearly every state voiced it's
approval of his candidacy.

were Clark Howell of Atlanta, whom
the Georgia men were pushing with
