The ELECTION is less than two weeks
of. and while there has been bat few
marked manifestations of party enthu-
siasm by democrats of Alexandria du'-
log the campaign, the determination to
stand by the nominees of the party has
been pronounced; hence, another large
majority for Mr.. Bryan is assured, 1t
is hoped that the presidential issue,
however, will MOI in any way cast Its
shadow over home interests, and thst
the present active and untriDg member of
Congress from this district. Hon. O..
O. Carlin, will poll equally>.ss many
votes ss Bryan and Kern. The repre-
sentative from the Alexandra district
became prominent as soon as he entered
Congress, and while he has concentrated
his exertions in the interests of his con-
stituents, his lsbOrs in behalf OF his state
and country are well'knOwD, and he
should receive large vote in spprecis-
ton of his services.

In PLACE of issues and arguments the
republicans are trying to scare the peo-
pie as to what will happen when Bryan
is elected. What they threaten when
Bryan is elected the people have been
enduring since last October under re-
publican administrations panic. What
will happen if Bryan is elected is that
every man will have an opportunity to
conduct his business free from the domi-
nation of trusts and corporations. 1t
will be 8 great day for the youth OF this
country.
