Of the county committee and preliminary
steps rave already been taken for taking

Republican Clubs, Mr.. Payne said:
Primarily. the clubs are formed for the
benefit of the first voter and to aid him
in his study Of national affairs so he will
be able to vote intelllgently. Every man
should know why he is voting and what
are the principles for which he is casting
his ballot. No man should vote the re.
publican ticket simply because his father
before him did, neither should he vote the
democratic ticket for the reason tina pater

ton Is a paramount issue. II It be found
that the current revenues OF the govern
ment are insufficient for vigorously carry
ing out on a broad plan the development Of
our waterways, congress should procure
FUNDS for that purpose by providing a suf-
ficlent bond issue.
This convention declares that the OPEN
ing OF a deep water channel way connect
Ing the great lakes with the gulf OF Mexico
to be an imperative duty of the general
government and that this work should be
Immediately begun and completed as
speedily as possible.
Any plan for inland waterway develop
ment should comprise a main trunk in the
form Of a etrait connecting Lake Michigan
with the gulf Of Mexico by the Illinois and
Mississippi rivers. The improvement of the
branches OF this main line, such as the
upper Mississippi with its tributaries, the
Ohio with its tributaries. including the
Cumberland, the Missouri, the Arkansas,
the Red, the White, should proceed stimuli
taneously with the development OF the
Channel from Chicago.
The deep waterway is practically COM
plete from Chicago to Joliet and the con-
tinuation from Joliet to st. Louis will cost
only $3l, 100000. The state of Illinois, as
Stunning that the federal government will
take the responsibility of completing the
waterway TO the gulf, Is about to CO.
operate to the extent of $40, 100000.
A special board OF survey was created
by congress last year to report on the
feasibility Of a deep waterway route from
st. Louis TO the mouth of the Ohio. Dele
gates to this convention demand that when
that report is made congress shall at once
provide funds sufficient to begin operations
In a large and effective way.
This convention is in hearty accord will
the recent movement in the conservation
of natural resources of the country and
heartily approves the efforts of the ma
tional rivers and harbors congress In seek
ing TO develop the waterways OF the
nation.
We do hereby. demand that a definite
and vigorous policy of waterway improve

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. e.-Philadelphia's

kind ever attempted In any American city.

King and framed his remarks to
amu>e rather than Influence the
readers. The first statement that
meets our eye is as follows:
During his long residence
in the county Judge King mas
won respect for his sincerity.
for his honesty and i'r his
love OF Justice due from man
TO his brother man.
The above will appeal to an old
republican, an old soldier and a
respected citizen of this place
His mind will revert to a time
several years ago when he had
acted for a considerable time as
agent for a coterie of land robbers,
the active manager of whom was
would-be Judge King. The old
man was not wise TO the fact that
his work was anything but legit-
innate, and in fact so far as he was
concerned that was true. But his
principals knew that they were
violating the law and their work
was placed in the hands OF man
who is credited with being an
able lawyer. A. r. King. Event
ually the work of illegally Sc
curing title to several quarters of
valuable coal land was completed
and then in the course of events
a settlement with the men who
had done the work was in order.
This old man will remember with
what fine scorn his claim for re-
Enumeration was treated. How
they laughed in his face and told
him they were not compelled to
pay him anything, that they had
the title and he could whistle.
After having the amount of fun
at his expense that they desired
they finally gave him part of his
money-on the ground as they
said-that he was an old man and
they would be generous. He will

AhS 'NPoChNdu uIdudSCiS dc
out with an election circular
heaeed Read before votingi"
We sincerely hope the voters will
take their advice and also that
they will read understandingly.
While we have not enough space
at our command to treat all their
argument we want to point out
several matters that might be
misunderstood. They pay much
attention to the candidacy of
Chapman Gibbs. They seem to
think that because Chap is a
mighty fine fellow the people will
forget what she has inherited: {:
viz: all the odium that attaches
to purchased and bulldozed
nomination. On his own merits
he could run a mighty even race
with DIR. Whiting tor any Office in
the county. The men are equally
popular and deserve the high re-
gard they hold in the opinions of
the people. This year however.
Mr.. Gibbs is handicapped by
being the representative of men
who have no standing of politi
cal nature. who are under the
cloud OF having unfairly and dis
honestly butchered republican,
simply because Guggy told them
to. He is the substitute for Mil
ton Welch. who was pulled down
after even the gang had concluded
that he was useless any longer
Like squeezed lemon he was
tossed aside and Mr.. Gibbs in
herited the mussed.up cantaloupe
and is trying to eat It Gibbs
real friends are sorry for him. but
they know that he should not be
elected because of the use he has
been put TO. Much ado is made
abou, the facrthat Cnas Hughes is
the democratic nominee for the
senate and that DIR. Whiting will
be apt to vote for him We call
attention to the fact that Gibbs
election means a vote for Charley
Hamlin, Guggy's choice, and that
he is potent factor in the Mine
Owners Association. the smelter
trust and a corporationist that
puts Charley Hughes in the
shade. We could pick out several
men who sui. us better for U. S.
Senator than Hughes, but Ham,
lin would not be one of the first
ten thousand. On the question
OF senator we have the best OF
it if that is to be the issue, but in
our opinion there are other ques-
tions quite as important and more
to the point. On every one of
them Whiting is right and he
should be elected by heavy ma
jority.
The versatile gentleman who
wrote up the republican circular
got a funny streak when he
reached Judge King in the list of
lambs being led to the slaughter.
Possibly he recognized the joke
