BAND OF MUSIC
GINGER In THE CAMPAIGN.

Those who complained of lack Of
warmth and activity in the national
campaign ought to be thoroughly salts
fed with present conditions. Mr..
Hearst exploded bomb this week
that was. intended to wreck both of
the old political parties. but when the
smoke had cleared away 1t was found
that the Republican party was the
principal sufferer. Mr. Hearst read
letters from Standard Oil officials to
Senator Foraker in which mention was
made of three checks, aggregating
$4,000, payable to he Ohio Senator.
Mr.. Foraker admits receiving these
checks, says $4,000 was returned to
the Standard Oil Magnates, and 100000
was retained as counsel fee, and was
not paid to him to influence legislation.
This disclosure has driven Foraker
out of the campaign. Mr. Taft refused
to speak from the same platform with
him. and all his speaking dates have
been Cancelled The fall of Senator
Foraker was SO menacing to Mr..
Taft's chances, in that it showed the
close relations existing between the
Republican leaders and large corpo-
rations, that President Roosevelt felt
it necessary to use the big stick on
the Ohio man, who was already down
and out and incidentally to rap Mr..
Bryan.
This, of course, brought a vigorous
rejoinder from the Democratic candi-
date, to which Mr.. Roosevelt replied
with many words, but with little argu-
ment and no evidence. Mr.. Bryan
will probably deliver an uppercut or
a solar plexus tomorrow, and while
thsi battle RACES between the giants
the heir to 'my policies" is lost sight
Of
Mr.. Hearst also exploded Standard
Oil can under Governor Haskell, of
Oklahoma, treasurer of the Democratic
National Committee, and close friend
of Mr.. Bryan. Governor Haskell de-
MES that there is any odor of oil about
his garments, and demands proof,
which has not yet been produced.
Theodore A. Bell, chairman of the
Democratic national convention at
Denver, asserts that Hearst's papers
are mortgaged for 100000 to E.
III, Hartman, the railroad king, who
raised 100000 four years ago, at the
request of President Roosevelt, to
secure the reelection of the latter
gentleman to the presidency. Mr.
Bell intimates that Mr.. Hearst's cam
paign is being financed by the afore-
said Hartman in the interest of the
Republican party, as was the case II
the Palmer-Buckner, Weaver and
Butler campaigns, and that in the event
of Mr.. Hearst being able to deliver
a Knockout blow to Mr.. Bryan, the
four-million mortgage will not be al
lowed to worry him.
The elimination of Foraker leaves
an open pathway to the United States
Senate for Bre'r Charlie, provided the
Ohio Legislature is Republican.
Let the band play.

THE DEMOCRATIC MEETING AT
ODD FELLOWS HALL.

The Democratic meeting at Odd
Fellows Hall on Saturday evening
last was one of the finest gatherings
of Democrats which has assembled in
our community for many day. The
hall was packed with persons who
were eager to hear the distinguished
speaker of that tvening, Hon. John w.
Kern, of Indiana, the Democratic can
didate for Vice President. 1t would
be difficult to assemble a more intelli-
gent and attentive audience than Mr..
| Kern had on that occasion.
And the speech itself was master
! full presentation of the Democratic
position in this campaign, clear, con-
else and logical The spirit and man
ner of the speaker were all that could
have been desired, and there was not
an intelligent Republican present who
could take exception to the way in
which he presented his cause. 1t was
dignified, good-tempered and convin-
cling.
Mr.. Kern in his visit here made a
most favorable impression upon all
Who met him and all who heard him
speak.
Mr.. Talbot, our candidate for Con-
gress, who came over that evening from
the great Mt. Carmel picnic, pretty
tired, was also presented to the audi
ence He was enthusiastically re-
caived, but did not attempt a formal
speech. He made some felicitous
remarks and was roundly applauded.
Mr.. Talbot is a faithful representative
of his constituents in congress, is
popular with our people and will re
|ceive the largest majority at the coming
election that he has ever had in our
county.
The prospects for the Democratic
party are Frightening every day, and
all present indications point to Mr..
Bryan's election. Mr.. Kern, who comes
from the middle west, the battle ground
of the present campaign, expressed in
private conversations, while here, the
greatest confidence IN the success of
the Democratic parry at the coming
election.

A stanch Republican correspondent
of ''The Record" resident in California
in late letter says: ''It Is my judg-
ment the Democrats will gain one or
two Congress districts in this State
this fall; but Taft will carry the State
against Bryan unless there proves to
be a deeper rooted dissatisfaction with
the Roosevelt Administration than is
now apparent" This opinion, coming
from an active supporter of Taft and
not intended for publication, is well
worth considering. It shows the in
side drift Of thought among active OBJ
servers.

"He is of Age; Let Him Speak for
Himself"

From New York Times.
Mr.. Roosevelt cannot help the Re
publican campaign by further efface-
ment of Mr.. Taft. Every one OF his
appeals has that effect, since with in
sistence and vociferation he contlnu-
ally exploits his own achievements.
Hr Roosevelt is not the candidate. II
the country goes Republican it VIII
be because it wants Mr.. Taft to be
President. 1t will hardly be conv1n-
ced of his eminent fitness for the office
by further reliance upon the lungs OF
his spokesman to proclaim qualif1ca-
tons of which he himself is permitted
by his managers to make so meagre
q display.

THE CHARM OF :
THOMAS JEFFERSON :

In December. 1900, a few days af-
ter Congress had for the first time
met in our new metropolis. was one
morning sitting alone in the parlor.
when the servant opened the door
and showed in gentleman who
wished 10 see my husband. The usual
frankness and care with which met
strangers were somewhat checked by
the dignihed and reserved air of the
present visitor, but the chilled feeling
was only momentary, for after TAX
ing the chair l offered him in a free
and easy manner, and carelessly
throwing his arm on the table near
which he sat, he turned towards me a
countenance beaming with an express
sion OF benevolence and with a man
ner and voice almost femininely soft
and gentle. entered into conversation
on the commonplace topics of the
day, from which, before l was con-
scious of il. he had drawn me into OBJ
servations of more personal and in
teresting nature. l know not how IL
was but there was something in his
manner, his countenance and voice
that at once unlocked my heart. and
in answer 10 his casual inquiries con-
cerning our situation in our new
home, as he called II. found myself
frankly telling him what | liked or
disliked In our present circumstances
and abode. l knew not who he was,
but the interest with which he list
ened to my artless details induced the
idea he was some intimate acquaint-
ance or friend of Mr.. Smiths and put
me perfectly at my ease: in truth so
kind and conciliating were his looks
and manners that forgot he was not
a friend of my own, until on tho
opening of the door Mr.. Smith en-
tered and introduced the stranger TO
me as Mr.. Jefferson
| felt my cheeks burn and my heart
throb, and not word more could
speak while he remained. Nay, such
was my embarrassment could scarce
ly listen TO the conversation carried
on between him and my husband.
For several years he had been to me
an object of peculiar interest. In
fact my destiny, for on his success in
the pending Presidential election. or
rather the success of the Democratic
party (their interests were identicaD Z.
