Hon, George 1. Neal, of Hunt
ington, lie candidate for delegate
at large from West Virginia, to the
Democratic National Convention,
which meets il. Denver next June.
Mr.. Neale through his ability, and
his long and faithful service of the
democratic party, is eminently
qualified for the position; and it
should come to him without oppo.
sition.
The Fifth Congressional District
has never had delegate at large
to democratic national oonven-
ton; yet the Democrats of the
Fifth district are aggressive. hard
lighting, and, largely through tho
the efforts OF Mr.. Neal, have made
excellent showings in recent cleo.
tlons, and are entitled to represen-
tation in the "big four"
Few men are 80 we'll qualified for
the honor of delegate at large as
Mr.. Neale. He has ever been an
earnest demooratio worker, his
ability for tn rough and effective
organization is recognized by pol
itioal friend and foe alike. as of the
highest order, and his political
sagaoity is attested by the success
of the recent campaigns in which
he has taken an active part.
Aside from his ability as po-
litioal organizer, he is representa-
tive of the tried and true demoora-
oy of Jefferson; he is in accord
with the majority of the rank and
file of tho party in his oonsistent
support of William Jennings Bry-
an, the leader of the American de.
mooraoy of today; he is not re
dictionary in any sense of the word,
and. in the national convention
can be relied upon to reflect credit
and honor upon the state which be
represents.
No democrat in West Virginia
has better claim to the support
of the party than Mr. Neal, and
there is every reason to believe
that this will be the unanimous
verdict of the convention which
names the delegates at large

Speaking of ambition and what
the young man of today desires to
make of himself there is nothing
in my mind, better than general
farming, says Henry Hatch, of
Gridley, Kansas It takes man,
through and through, to be a suo.
sessful farmer now, and if he's suo
oessful he has done something and
has something. It beats oIerking
in store or bank and gives one
much more freedom than doing
any GLASS of oity work. The farm
always has been my ambition, and,
looking back over short past, l
find nothing which causes me to
regret having stuck to the farm.
There is better opening for the
boy of today on the farm than any
where elae.

REPUBLICAN, HARD TIMES.
Fayette Free Press.

Fayette Free Press.
Have you asked your Republi-
eau neighbors how they like this
business depression and break
down of the guaranteed Republi-
oan prosperity If the protective
tariff lie such sure cure for hard
times.. and Republican financial
policies are necessary to prevent
panios, how can they explain pres.
emit oonditionsP 1t is nonsense to
say that this was a Wall Street
panic. brought on for political pur-
poses, for the 6nanoiers who run
Wall Street affairs are too smart
to ruin themselves and they have
suffered enormously. Panioy con-
ditions have reached the most sta
BILE and distant tields. Judge Sin.
clair, of Nebraska. whom in Wash
ington a week ago, declared that,
1.-THE West is we'll fixed financially.
None of the banks in his town was
pressed for cash during the recent
furry" but aided this Republican
authority: "They adopted limited
payments, but did not need to do
it" Now any bank that adopted
Limited payments." which is an
other way of saying it stopped cash
payments, was certainly helping
the panic, and making it more dis.
tressing and was more to blame
than the frenzied finanoiers of
Wall Street who were actually un-
able to meet the demands of their
depositors. 1t is almost certainty
that these banks at Kearney, Ne.
braska, for that is the home of the
Republican politician who favors
the country with this extraordinary
statement above quoted-are run
by Republicans We're those Ne
braeka bankers in league with New
York banks to produce and pro.
long the panioP If they refused
to pay their depositors when they
were not pressed for oash," they
committed. If not a crime against
the banking laws of the United
States, a most despioable outrage
against their depositors and the
people generally. AS the banks
generally refused to pay oash to
their depositors. were they also in
ooIlusion with the New York banks
to help indicate to the people that
certain policies of the Roosevelt
administration were panic breed
eEsP In any event there is no
escape for the Republican party,
whatever produced the panic. The
coming Republican National Don
vention will endorse Roosevelt and
all his doings; it will endorse Re-
publican policies and point With
pride to the prosperity of the trusts
and corporations as one of the most
conspicuous merits of Republican
asoendenoy. But still the glaring
fact will have to be explained by
our Republican friends, why the
panic occurred under Republican
policies, with all departments of
the government under their full
control for the past ten years
What assurance oan the Republi-
can party offer that further panioe
will not follow, if they are again
entrusted with powerP Aud With
what face oan they again declare
that Republican policies are panic

BELIEVES IN LIVING UP TO HIS
OBLIGATIONS AS Al UNION
MAN.

AS / have not seen anything from
our local, No. 729, / thought / would
write and let you all know that we
are not dead. We have about fifty
members in this local and twelve or
thirteen of them are ladies'. am sor-
ry to say we do not take the interest
we should take. / think the Farmers
Union is one of the best organizations
for the farmers that has ever been or
ganized, and it has certainly done a
great deal of good and will accomplish
a great deal more if we will only stick
to our leaders and live up to our obli-
cations. / am going to do my best to
live up to the obligations I took when
joined the union think that some
of our members are two easily led
away. Brethren, let us grow strong
er every time we meet and ask God to
help us to do the right thing, and be
true and firm, so that no false report
will lead us away Let no discord or
strife come among us. | hope my lo-
cal will sec this in print, and trust
that may say something that will prove
of benefit to some one. Dear breth-
rem, l think when we meet that every
member should be there and take part
in all the work. Now let us see if we
cannot get every member to attend
| the next meeting and take some active
part in the work. It would be a good
thing and nothing wrong to call on
some of the members to lead in pray
er, and we could sing a few good
hymns. and by SO doing, we will grow
stronger and take more interest in our
meetings. May God help us all to be
true union men at heart and let ouE
light shine and prove 1t by our works

FEW WORDS FROM ORANGE
HILL LOCAL, NO. 2s5.

Seeing so many good letters from
the brethren has made me want to
contribute my little mite, and hope
it will prove of benefit to some one.
The cotton crop in Tazoo county is
short fifty per cent, but as a general
thing there is plenty of corn and peas.
/ will say that the night riders need
not start any thing here, for we will
not take any foolishness from them.
We are building a warehouse in Yazoo
City, and expect to store our cotton in
it until it rots or beat Mr.. Speculator
I do not agree with Brother Day in the
the disposition Of the cotton raised by
the negro. The negro in this state
raises forty per cent of the cotton in
the state and in this county, Yazoo,
he will outnumber the white man ten
to one. His cotton is controlled by
the white man. Here the negro is
ruled by the money lender. They furn-
ish him what he needs in cash and
charge him twenty-five cents on the
dollar / think the negro should be
organized separately and independent
" of the white man for his own bene-
fit and protection, for he will do just
what you tell him in this matter They
are beginning to take notice. / have
had them to tell me ! hope you white
folks will do something, for we know
that if you get anything out OF 1t we
will also hope to see this in print

and / hope to be able to get more OF
our members to take The Advocate,
which / think every union man should
take and read, as it is great educa-
tor. To-day the trouble with the great
majority Of our members is that they
do not read good union literature, and
therefore are not educated up on the
works and principals OF that great and
noble order. The old county Of New
ton is pushing the work of the Farm
ers' Union and trying to make her the
banner county in the state. We have
today about twelve hundred male
members and three hundred females.
have organized two locals this past
week and will say to the boys, that II
we gain the victory, we must work
and have the stickability, for the fall
Of the year is the trying time to its
membership. But stand to the union
and it's principles like man.
