The Republicans seem 10 have taken
these things for granted and already
the same tactics are being used con-
corning the Democratic candidate IN
particular and the party generally,
that all the country has seer in the
past.
The Republican ca~mpaigners Will
have 10 face a different lot OF voters
this fall than they have for a great
many years. And that includes the
rank and file of their own party Need
less to say there is a more i~ndepend-
ent army of voters in the country now
than ever and furthermore most of
them are of the "show me- kind.
Previously they have listened to the
talks that have been used TO belittle
w. j. Bryan. II has been a favorite
Weapon with the republicans. But the
malignant lance has bee dulled by all
this usage. in season and cut. so that
Mr.. Republican voter himself is not
going to be so readily persuaded that
the democratic head of the ticket is
all things he has been termed.
Voters are going to ask themselves
a few questions about William Jen-
nings Bryan this fall. They have
watched Roosevelt piroutte in all di-
rections, forward and backward, and
while these things were going on par
ty organs have been applying the lash
to the back of the great commoner,
with the evident purpose of distract
ing attention from their own irration-
al leader. In fact the very things
that Bryan would be supposedly gull
" of in the presidential chair have
been practiced by the present ncum
bent until the entire country has e
wearied and is walt.ng for relief. Now
they have seen the republican party
nominate a man pledged soul and
body to Roosevelt and any hoped for
relief has been absolutely destroyed.
The voters of the country have
been fooled and fooled badly, and all
kinds of Republican prosperity and
ful-ldinner-pail talk will not

They are going to ask themselves and
ach other why w. J. Bryan has kept
himself endeared to so many OF his
countrymen all these years; why he
has gained in popularity and has been
advanced by his constituents as their
chaice for the greatest office of all.
They will enquire why such a states
man, orator and student is not ably fit
to assume the duties of President
and serve his country as well as any
man. They will remind themselves
that those things most strongly adj
vocated by the democratic leader

GARDENS STATEMENT.
Chairman of Democratic Executive
 Committee Answers Inouiries.

Dallas. May 1.-Hon. George A. Car den, chairman of the state Democratic executive committee, Thursday night made public the following:
 In view of many inquiries which are reaching me, and which there Is no time to answer through the usual course of the mails,I respectfully re- quest space in the press to say that a man who votes the Republican or oth- CT national ticket, no matter how often he votes the state, count or city Dem ocratic ticket. Is not a Democrat, and Is not etitled to vote In the May 2 pri- mary.
 That one who votes in the May 2 primary must not only be Democrat, but by voting pledges himself to sup port all the state and county nomi. nees; and where there is a reasonable question as to the Democracy of a man who offers to vote, 1t Is proper that he be required by the election of. ficers to take the test under oath.
 Every reasonable facility for voting should be offered every Democrat, and 1t is earnestly hoped that every Dem. ocrat will avail himself thereof, but no one who Is not a Democrat should offer to vote in a Democratic primary or be permitted to vote should he of fer.
 A Democrat who is a minor. who will attain his majority on or before the date of the general election in No. vember, 1908, and who Is otherwise qualified, is entitled to vote in the pri. mary on May 2
