As the campaign progresses in this
county republican success seems more
assured. The candidates r doing
their best to be elected, ana there is
no reason why every true republican
should not walk up to the polls and
support the entire ticket. What can
be gained by placing democrats in
power? Every democrat elected to
office makes it that much easier to
elect a democrat at the next election,
for you have placed him in a position
to work for four years for the success
OF his party. If any republican has
pride in party success he will not
vote to elect democratic officials. If
there are men on the republican ticket
who are not worthy of support i
would be a different proposition, but
all the nominees are first class men /;
men who would be a credit to the
party to elect. Therefore, we know
of no reason why the entire ticket
should not receive the undivided sup
port of every republican in the coun-
ty.

Human Hair in Wedding Gowns.

Madge O'Rourke, the famous Irish
American dressmaker-all the famous
dressmakers are Irish-Americans-
was showing a customer an assert
ment of wedding gowns.
In every one of those gowns, were
you to rip them apart" she said.
you'd find a lock of hair hidden-red
hair, brown hair, golden hair, even
grey hair,
Sewing girls believe that she who
works on a wedding gown, if she sews
a lock of her own hair into it, will be
married herself within the year.
"Oh, yes. the belief is universal
Every wedding gown in the world is
apt to reveal, when cut up, a lock OF
hair-some red, some gold, some
black, and some, alas. gray"

things that it does not contain. DoeI
ne mean to say that he still advocates

Snip of railroads and free trade? 1t is
well for every voter to be posted on

We need a man who has no such pet

Judge Taft has declared himself on all

unwise for American people to elect
a man as president who could not

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.-The tar
in revision and the Presidents recent
special message to Congress were the
main topics OF discussion in the
House today. As has been the case
for nearly week, the Indian appro-
priat'on bill is ostensibly before the
House but in no quarter was any
word spoken in regard to II. The
House had apparently made up its
mind to discuss the issues OF the day
and no effort was made TO check the
flow OF general debate, which will be
continued tomorrow. The long speech
Of Payne, New York, majority leader,
IL considered important because Of his
assurances that tariff revision plank
would be incorporated into the Re-
publican national conventions plat
form this year He devoted some at
tent.on to Bryan whom he accused Of
going about the country crediting
Roosevelt with grand or petit larceny
in purloining his ideas In his
House today Payne paid tribute to
Theodore Roosevelt. He said that he
has warmer place in the hearts Of
the American people in the hearts OF
plain men, In the hearts Of intelligent
citizens, in the hearts Of the righteous
citizens OF this country than has ever
been occupied by any public man in
this country Here Payne received a
prolonged applause,
Discussing some OF tire President S
recommendations Payne said he
hoped before the close OF the session
bill would be passed modifying the
employers liability act, although he
said it was one of the most difficult
pieces OF legislation with which Con-
grcss had to deal a
Payne said undoubtedly that some
simple financial legislation was neces-
sary and he thought the Aldrich bill
with some few additions would meet
the emergency. Payne charged that
the Democratic party is a party of
ncgation. As for the Republicans he
said they would be at the polls next
November with platform that meant
something. They would declare on
the tariff question in no uncertain
manner, and that they will declare for
the tariff revision.
