Whose Panic Is 1t?

Do you remember last fall and winter when all the factor
les shut down down half time when the coal mines
shut down, when only few railroad working,
when hundreds of men in this valley looking for any
odd job to make living when the big plant at Rachel
macher nailed its doors and quit when railroad engineers
banks would not cash check for anybody except their
customers. Do you remember all these things? Whose
panic it? Can't blame it onto Grover Cleveland this
time. Bradsreet says it the financial panic in the
history of the country The policy of the republican bosses
in full operation for II years What the matter
with it, Why, the high tariff policy has protected the mil
onale until he the country and he just squeezed
little that is all Why did not Roosevelt do like Lincoln
when they tried to squeeze hsse green backs that
good god that would stand for the payment of all debts
both public and private Why did not Mr.. Roosevelt do
that? Because he is owned by the Herrmans and Rookie
feers who working for the election of his herap
parent Taft The republican policy is not lasting and they
know it. That is the they promise to revise the tariff
after the election If it is good thing to revise the tariff a
ter the election why not done the last session of
gress Both houses of congress republican. Why did
they stop the panic if they had the power They had
protected the trusts andthen suffered their hands, The
republican bosses have tried II years and threw the
try into the panic the financial circles knew. Now
let the democratic party it IL years. We you it
cannot be worse and you that when the people
rule will be better.

STRAUS GIVES REASONS
The New York Merchant and Phi

Bryan Means Business
Pros

AToHPCEltNs
Nathan Straus, the great New York
merchant and philanthropist, in an
nouncing his reasons for supporting
Mr.. Bryan. said:
~ feel sure that he will be elected,
and say, as business man, one who
Is as much interested perhaps as any,
In the general prosperity of the coun-
try, as one who is bound to feel per.
sonaliy any lack of prosperity among
the masses, that believe his election
will be benefit to all the country
and to all Of the people. Those that
talk otherwise, those that predict panic
and disaster, as the result of the elec.
tion OF an honest man, chosen by an
honest majority Of the people, are mar.
row minded and short-sighted, or pre-
tend to believe that which they know
Is not true, or they are seeking to OBJ
scure the real and vital issues of the
campaign. Mr.. Bryan will make a
safe, reliable, conscientious president,
a president for all Of the people, the
rich ana the poor, the big man and
the little. He will represent the
American people, not any class, and
for that reason ! shall work for him
until election and vote for him on

REPUBLICANS HOWL CALAMITY
Seek to Destroy Public Confidence in
Futile Effort to Defeat
BRYAN,


Facing inevitable defeat and with a
full knowledge OF the fact that Bry-
ans election Is as certain as anything
reasonably can be In politics, the Re-
publicans have been forced to resort
to the last refuge of political towards
TO the calamity howl. They are now
engaged in telling the country that
panic and ruin will follow the election
OF Mr.. Bryan. Instead OF being patri-
otto citizens anxious to restore bust.
ness confidence confidence which
has been lost under Republican ad-
ministration-tc subserve their own
political selfish purposes they are vain
ly endeayoring to prolong the present
business depression. The question
naturally suggests itself: Why is 1t
necessary to restore confidence? Why
Is 1t necessary to bring back business
prosperity? What has become of conf
dence, what has become of prosperity?
Both. under Republican administra-
tion, have disappeared. Why is an
other Republican administration neces-
sary to insure a return OF confidence
and prosperity?
The very same men who. today, are
going about the country still further
destroying confidence by preaching
calamity, are the men. who, four years
ago said that the Republican party
must be succ cessful iB order that there
might be prosperity. The Republican
party was successful. but instead OF
bringing prosperity 1t brought panic,
business depression and commercial
stagnation, Whatever may be said of
the present panic. 1t cannot be denied
that 1t is q Republican panic. The
Republican party Is in full possession
OF the government and must accept
the responsibility. How, then, cah a
continuation of the Republican party In
power cure the evils from which the
business community and the laboring
man now suffer? Let the Republicans |
howl about their own panic, and not |
make false predictions about what will |
happen under a Democratic admins |
tration. They predicted prosperity |
four years ago, and proven false pro |
phets. Why. then, should any sane |
man accept their premonitions now
when they say that Bryhn's election

would bring business troubles. Busi.
ness troubles are already here. What
business men want Is cure for them,
not prolongation of the disease by
the same sort Of treatment which has
produced the ailment.
Because business men and laboring
men both know that Republican ad-
ministration has produced panic, they
Will not be deceived again by these
false cries of Republican calamity
howlers. They know that William
Jennings Bryan is an honest man; they
know that he will give the public an
honest administration. They know that
the calamity howl is for the sole pur-
pose of deception.

WILL NOT BE WHEEDLED.

We do not beive there is Democrat in this county
worthy to be called Democrat who will vote against Jud
Harmon and for Governor Harris because of the false
argument that Harris is a TEMPERANCE man and that
Harmon is not
Judge Harmon says if he is elected ALL THE
LAWS WILL BE ENFORCED while he is governor
Those WHO know Judge Harmon know that he will do it.
His past record is sufficient proof that he will keep his
promise
Governor Harris proposes new laws, and and has
utterly failed to enforce the laws already have besides
using his official power to shield much possible other
state officials whose offices under investigation.
In his manly statement declaring that he would
force ALL THE LAWS if elected, Jndge Harmon also
said:
"sTANDINe THUS, AS BELIEVE ! AM IN HONOR BOUND
TO DO, IN THE POSITION WHERE NY PARTY HAS PUT
THERE WILL BE NO DscRE DIT IN BEING DEFEATED BUT
CAN NOT BELIEVE ANY DE MocRAT is GOING TO WHEE-
DIED OR FOOLED INTO Vo TING AGAINST ME BY SUCH
TICS AS MY ANNIVERSARIES ARE EMPLoYiNG!"
Every Republican in this county who voted for Gov
Pason should vote for Judson Harmon if he would
have the laws enforced and have brought about needed
reforms in the satehouse which begun by Governor
Pattson and which Governor Harris allowed to lapse
from the day he succeeded to the Office.

Against Laboring Men.

While William H. Taft is travelling
about Ohio and elsewhere making fran
tic appeals for the support of laboring
men, his running mate on the Republi.
can ticket. James s. Sherman, is Civ.
ing his endorsement to the statement
that labor unions are composed large
ly )f anarchists, socialists and dema
gogues." Mr.. Sherman heard the or.
ganized wage worker of the country
thus denounced by a trust magnate
who presided at meeting where he
spoke, and gave approval Of the senti-
ment expressed. When Mr.. Sherman
appeared recently at Akron, Ohio, the
meeting which he addressed was pre-
sided over by o. G. Barber, president
OF the Diamond Match Company. Mr..
Barber introduced Mr.. Sherman to the
audience. In doing so he made use of
the following language. as stenograph-
ically reported:
'One OF the main reasons for the
success of the Diamond Match Com
pany is that its directors HAVE
NEVER to- .ERATED UNION LABOR
IN ITS SHOP THEY HAVE AL
WAYS BEEN OPEN. We have had
no one to dictate to us what wages we
shall pay, what men we shall hire, and
what hours our employees shall work.

POSED LARGELY OF ANARCHISTS,
SOCIALISTS AND DEMAGOGUES."

the recent conference of naval officers

the change are not radical, but in the

Upon completion of the plans they

HING IN HAZING

| AS the result of hazing at the ma
val training station at Yerba Buena
Island, Earl Trey, a 21-year old appren-
tice on the training ship Pensacola,
will probably lose his sight, and r.
Guy and j. Valerius, two shipmates OF
the injured boy, will face a general
court-martial on a charge of attempt
ed murder.
Trey was caught unawares by his
elder companions, two recruits, as he
was preparing to retire for the night
on the berth deck of the Pensacola: a
moose was fastened tightly around his
neck, the rope passed over a hook and
he was swung clear of the deck.
Trey was deserted by the two hazers
and was allowed to hang for five min
utes. When he was finally discovered
by Master-at-Arms Benton and Mas
ter-at-Arms Palmer his bloodshot
eyes were bullying out of his head his
face had turned horrible green color,
and his blackened and swollen tongue
was hanging from his mouth.
The boys neck had become so large
from the strain on his tonsils that it
was found impossible to cut off the
rope without inflicting further injury.
He was cut down by the officers and
in an unconscious condition was car
ried to the "sick bay"
