Mr.. TAFT is to come to North
Carolina to speak, which means
that he has been persuaded that
there is a chance to carry the
state for the Republicans. Some
body has been fooling the Repub-
lican presidential candidate on a
mission that will prove fruitless.
OF course he will be welcomed
in any towns that he chooses to
visit, but that does not mean that
the state is going to go Republi-
can by a jug full.

am aware that in some Sec
tions of the county the Mormon
elders are confusing the people
with their pernicious doctrines.
Recently one of the elders spent
the night with a man, and told
his wife that it had been revealed
to him that if she did not marry
a Mormon elder that she could
not go to heaven when she died.
She became very mucn alarmed,
thinking that she would be lost
at death and informed her hus-
band what the elder had said to
her. A short time afterward the
elder returned and the husband
told him what he had said to his
wife, and remarked that it had
been revealed to him that he
should give the elder a good
whipping, which he proceeded to
do. He used a four-pronged lash
and the elder took to his heels,
the man pursuing and splitting
the elders coat with every lick.
A neighbor hearing of the incl
dent, remarked that he would
have split more than the elders
coat if he should come his way.

but if there is any class that
should be drummed out of a COM

ers. hope it will not be toe

renounce such doctrines.

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?

The last two days of the present
week have seen some very interesting
developmnts upon the republican side
of the political stage in Ohio, but II
doth not yet appear what they may
signify.
The meeting of the state COM
mittee in Columbus determined upon
"a primary to settle the question Of
whether Foraker or Taft shall re-
iceive the support of Ohio in the
coming National convention. This
will settle the question of which of
the two has the greater following in
his home state, and it may settle for
whom the Ohio delegation shall vote
in convention and again it may not.
Already, there is talk OF Foraker
going to the convention with n con-
testing delegation and relying upon
the organization of the convention
seating his delgates. If he is able to
pull through such deal, then the
Ohio primaries will be for naught.
The indications are that so far, the
laft men have been able to sweep the
Iplatter. They had everything their
own way in committee meeting, and
since then have been ignoring all re-
quests and protest from Foraker and
lDick, But no one who Is familiar
with Foraker and his methods of
fighting will consider that he is out
of tie fight. Foraker has the reputa-
ton of being a man who never
knows when he Is whipped. He hangs
on with bull dog tenacity and has
succeeded in raking many chestnuts
out of the fire.
Were it not for this disposition,
coupled with his ability to win over
hostile men when once he gets a
chance to talk to them, it would be
considered that Foraker was out Of
the race entirely, but as it is, Ohio
lans can expect to see a very pretty
flight with the outcome in doubt, de-
spite the fact that Taft controls
majoriy OF the men on the committee. =.
The great haste in holding the pri-
I)naries Is indicative of oIe thing
which must be taken into considera-
Ition. 1t is generally conceded that
the National administration is losing
ground each day. President Roose-
welt is not nearly so popular as ne
was three, six or twelve months ago.
His failure to accomplish anything
In his campaign against the trusts,
his record in the Brownsville affair
and the panic, the blame for which
| is laid at his door, have all served to
lessen his prestage. Secretary Taft,
being the man who bears the Roose-
welt seal, has lost ground along with
THE president. Senator Foraker made
the hit of his campaign when he
came out for the nomination for pres
| ident and threw the senatorship ov-
erboard, and since that time he has
been gaining ground as rapidly as
Taft has lost 1t. This explains the
early date set by the Taft men for
the primaries. What may develop
between now and February II, will
affect the result.
For democrats, the present fight,
(which is merely a skirmish, is both
interesting and entertaining. There
lis nothing to do but sit back and
watch he battle, knowing that it
matters not which side is victorious,
there will be sore spots which can

TURN THE RASCALS OUT

Z Don't get disheartened at this
Republican panic, but vote to
I. turn the rascals outn that is your
nnly political salvation. AS long
Is the tariff protects the trusts
md the United States treasury
protects, the banks, there will be
fictitious prosperity followed by
panics and business depression.
The Republican polices are those
Gf the gambler, they plunder the
4eople by high taxation and spend
he public money for subsidies to
3eir masters, the trusts and cor
4orations. What is needed is honest
laws and a faithful administration
1f the same. Less political fireworks
md a chance for honest men to get
their dues. With equal rights to
all and special privileges to none,
there would be no panics, for banks
and corporations would be reduced
to the needs of the government, in
stead of piling up millions in the
UHited States Treasury for the
banks and politicians to play with.
The whole country has been on
prolonged Republican debauch
and the people are now suffering
from 1t. Extravaganza has run riot
in Federal affairs with the trusts
and corporations at the head Of
the procession, and the Admins
tration and the Republican leaders
at the tail end. Like all spend
.thrifts they now are repenting with
empty pockets and headaches, and
are trying to find out where they
are at. They have forced us all to
participate in the common disaster,
and until a new crew is elected
in their places not much improve
ment can be expected in national
pfairs.
The law breaking TRUST magnates
are still at large; the railroad cor
poratons are continuing to charge
all the traffice will bear, as far as
Interstate commerce Is concerned,
while President Roosevelt offers
no remedy but joins with Speaker
Cannon in leaving bad enough alone
Business is depressed and wages
are falling, but the Republican
Congress stands pat, having rails
ed their own salaries so per cent
they can stand it. Thank God the
Republican party is far from being
ss omnipotent as It boasted it was !.
and the rain and sunshine are, there
fore. not mortgaged to the trusts
and the corporations have no mono
poly of the wealth of nature. The
American farmer will pull us all
out of the hole through the sweat
Of his brow, in spite OF the handi-
Sap OF Republican mismanagement
and folly. Let all who feel the
tpanclal distress that Republican
policies have produced. determine
during the New Year to cease be-
leving Republican boasts, but do
their best to turn the rascals out
