For Constable (
PERCY ELLIOTT,
JOSEPH GRIMES.

1t is now conceded by most Of the
great daily newspapers that Hon.
William Howard Taft will be the next
president af the United States. The
only obstacle in the way several
months ago was the unrest of bust
ness conditions. Now since this has
cleared up, there seems 10 be no
question about Mr.. Bryan's defeat.
The West points TO a great Taft vote,
as his following in that section OF the
country is constantly on the increase.
The people will not stand for Bryan's
radicalism. They are for the mar who
can deliver the things he promises to
deliver. This man is Mr.. Taft. His
policies are identical with the Roose-
welt policies, and that they will be
carried out, If he Is elected, every
sincere mar knows. 1t is extremely
doubtful if there was ever a presi-
deent who accomplished as mucn as
Mr.. Roosevelt. And the reason he did
so we'll was because he was always
found battling for right ana Justice,
The same can be expected of Mr..
Taft, for a better equipped man was
never nominated for president. He
stands is the idol Of republicanism.

STATE ELECTIONS THIS YEAR.

In two states-Louisiana and Ore
gon-elections for state officers have
already been held. In April Louisiana
elected a governor and other officers,
and in June Oregon did likewise, in
Guiding q procurement in favor Of
Mr.. Chamberlin, a democrat, fer Unit
ed States senator, although a repub-
lican legislalture was elected. This
anomalous condition in Oregon may
be attributed to the growing tenden-
cy toward independent voting. which
has been found to be a sure way OF
electing senators who are not affiliat-
ed with the trusts and tariff barons.
-Four other states will hold cleo
tons this year Tor state officers, all
before the general presidential cleo
ton in November. Maine votes on
September Ia. For many years the
state has gone republican with plu.
ralities ~'enerally exceeding 10000, al
though Roosevelt's plurality in 1904
was more than $4,000.
Maine is the only M OF these
| states whose election can be consider
ed as a pointer toward the result In
the presidential election. If the re
publican plurality should fall below
/ $4,000 it will be interpreted as a fore
runner of democratic gains in all the
doubtful and contested states.
Arkansas and Vermont will cleo
governors and other state officers OF
the same day Of the Maine election
while Georgia's election for governo
will be held on October T..
Alabama, Kentucky, Ohio, Okla
homa, Virginia, West Virginia an
Wyoming will elect governors at tn
general election, November 3, AM
California, MARI land, Mississippi, Ne
vada, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
will elect ct the same time state o
fcers, but no governors. Congressmel
will be chosen at the September eler
lions in Maine and Vermont, and Il
tie rest Of the states in November.

anything to compare with the n Of
1884. Then it la impossible for a
laboring man to secure work at any
price, and thousands lived uponthe

of their substance to support starving
humanity. While it Is true that this
disturbance of business conditions
came under a republican admins

under the same administration.

That Berkeley County has a nor
NAL republican majority of more than
100, nj we'll informed man will deny,
but of late democrats have been
This is due to several local condi-
tons. First of all, the party has not
been so we'll united as it should be,
and second: the democrats have put
up their most popular men. But
there Is no faction in the party at
present. The leaders are together as
they have not been for years. If
there is any trouble, 1t is on the ac-
count that certain people did not
get their men nominated at the coun-
ty convention. And this always hap
pens right after the nominations are
made. In the course of a few weeks,
there win be no serious objection to
the candidates, and work in their be-
half win commence in earnest. The
only thing that is necessary for re-
publican victory in this county this
fall, is for the republican voters to get
down to work and never cease until
the polls close. We have a good ticket
and it should appeal to those who de-
sire competent officials. Not a mar
has been named by the republicans
who will shirk any duty his office de-
wolves up on him. Therefore, let
every true and loyal republican help
to elect every man on the ticket. And
if tnis is done there will be no ques-
ton about the result.

II there is any one class OF men
who should stand firm by Mr.. Taft, il
is the laboring man. II is the laboring
nal who is compelled 10 depend en-
tirely upon his days a for a liv-
ing. When he as no work he is des-
perate. With a family depending upon
him for support, he is compelled to
contrive some way in which to provide
for them. Therefore, the laboring
man is directly interested in voting for
the party which i~nsures him that
prosperity will continue, AT present,
there is plenty of work for those who
are seeking employment, and wages
are good. To make a change In the
administration at this time would de-
stloy confidence in capital, and S
altogether likely That the same condi-
tons which confronted us under Mr..
Cleveland's last administration would
return. Then why should any labor
ing mar want a Change in the affairs
of this government when he is con-
tented and happy? For this reason
there is no danger that Mr.. Bryan
will be elected. The laboring man is
not going to jeopardize mis- interest
just because Mr.. Bryan holds out to
him promises which cannot be full
filled. He will rather rely upon exist
ing facts than false promises.

AA kinds of business is on the in
crease, and wages are as good as can
be expected. A few months ago the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad would
not purchase a single cross-tie; now
this company is sending out letters
all over the country offering fancy
prices for ties. This goes to prove
that conditions are getting better all
the time. More men are being con-
stanty employed, and consequently
there is more work to do. II is very
seldom that any kind of a failure is
reported, and new enterprises are con-
stantly employed, and consequently
prove that the recent panic was not
