Ross ogden.s Piracy.

Boss Ogden says II 1t were not for
Swisher. Matthews, Denham and 9TH
ers like them there would have been
no occasion for any hearing before
the National Committee. This may
be true, but did it ever occur to this
party wrecker that these gentlemen
have been fighting the battles of the
Republican party for the last twenty
years and helped to wrest control OF
this state from the Democratic pacty
then under the leadership of Ogden
and his kind? He might have also
stated that had 1t not been for these
men and others the Democratic party
would still have been in control OF
the state and it.would not have been
necessary for ogden 10 change his
politics in order to he in position to
work his particular game of graft.
The men referred to were born Re
publicans and not one of them was
ever accused OF voting the Demo-
cratic ticket or of conspiring with the
Democrats to turn the state over t.

ing upon the same. takes the risk Of
the loan and issues currency there
for. AS the association takes the
risk Of the temporary loan, It Will
naturally require the best securities
the popular banks have. Thus Is
ready currency provided when funds
are low and 1t is difficult to convert
good securities into cash for present
needs. A national currency associa-
ton, representing the associated
banks, Is responsible for the pay
ment OF the advances made by the
associations. Ate, the financial de-
preston is over. the crops moved, or
money comes back into circulation
from its boarding places. the eollat-
eral securities are redeemed from the
associations, the latter are dissolved
and a financial panic is thus averted,
by this sensible, business-like method
of expanding currency.
Mr.. Gilman, in concluding his
article, points out that the first gen
eral banking law the world ever saw
was enacted by the New York legisla-
ture in 1898 when the Wing party, a
forerunner of the present Republican
party, was in control; that the first
national banking system the country
had was passed by Republican con.
gress in 1851 and that the same pa
ty has now exerted its best efforts in
trying to improve the same system
for the further benent of the whole
country.
In matters of regulating the ma.
tional currency and the national
banks, 1t must not be overlooked
while all this Bryan scheme uproa,
ls being mouthed about, that the Re.
publican party is the party of &C.
compllshment and not the party OF
single man dreams. And its accomp.
lishments are the results of years Of
experience and the best efforts of the
country's brainiest men and not q
fantasy of notorious political
dreamer.

As to Banks and Currency.

A good deal OF clap trap is being
INDUCED in by Democratic stump
speakers and Democratic newspapers
over Bryan's fairy dream of guaran-
teeing bank deposits and of his gen
eran Organization of the country's
currency system. Les. 1t be tenn

campaign clatter, what Republican
ism has done for the currency and
the banks of the country, it will not

ally In few reminders.
1t should not be forgotten that the
Republican party. after mature in
vestigation, consideration and de-
liberation on the part OF its members
in Congress, was instrumental in
having passed by the nations legisla-
ture, the Adrich-Vreeland elastic
currency bill, measure now upon
our statute books, having for its
'beneficent object the relief OF the
general money situation in times or

In an article in recent issue Of
the North American Review. Mr..
Gilman, prominent New York bank

bill, explains its purposes and meets
all the objections that haI been
made against 1t.
The bill provides for method OF
issuing bank currency through voiur-

the cost. Mr.. Bennett served
couple of terms as prosecuting attor-
tney. and he was openly charged at
that time with such very deep SYM
pathy with the liquor interests that
he failed to enforce the law. A GER
tain Indignation meeting held. reso-
lutlons passed denouncing him, news
paper articles charging collision,
court records showing probably the
second largest proportion of "nolles"

very recent utterances on that sub

no purpose to open up that question
against him. though several times
urged so to do both by local and other
Democratic opponents of his; but il
he permits or encourages the crazy
element OF his following to rush into
that subject, he will pardon us If We
fail to get excited and run under the
bed.
This paper has never regarded Mr.
SwIsher as quite the ideal candidate
for governor; but Mr.. Bennett is no
better on the questions in which tie
people are Interested. and we are
therefore for Swisher as between him
and any opponent yet named, and are
ready with the reasons.

That ..secret Circular"

An alleged secret circular Demo-
cratic headquarters at Parkersburg
are sending out to Democratic news
papers for publication, with the
statement that 1t had been issued
from Republican headquarters here,
and contemplated gigantic registra-
ton frauds, is not regarded OF suf-
ficient importance by the headquar-
ters here to demand denial. In
this connection, however, the Tele-
gram is assured that the only regis
tration information sent out from
headquarters here was the opinion OF
Attorney General W. C. Conley on
the registration law, which Repuh-
lican and Democratic papers alike
have published.
There is every reason to believe
that Democratic state headquarters
framed up the "secret circular" and
charged 1t up to the Republicans for
the express purpose of attempting to
cover up Democratic attempts to
commit registration frauds in Demo-
cratic counties.
1t is campaign lie started after
the usual manner of the Democratic
organization and like all others our
democratic brethren hatch will meet
a dismal failure.

tnem.
No man who was born a Democrat
and changed his politics for revenue
ever got alfof the original sin soaked
of him in two years time. We will
also venture the assertion that had
it not been for Ogden and few 9TH
er ex-Democrats, there would have
been no occasion for hearing be-
fore the National Committee. The
Republican party is not yet ready to
turn the affairs of this state over to
handful of pirates mutinied from
the Democratic ship in order that
they may gain control and capture
her cargo, and then go back to their
old party. The best brand of Repuh-
licanism is represented by those who
have fought all these years for the
success of the Republican party and
not by those recruited from or kicked
out of the Democratic party in the
last two years.

AS stated in the Daily News a few

The government thinks if there is any
question as TO the title that this must

lot to the government and guaranteed
it's title, and Mr.. McInnis. The fol-

HATTIEsBURG MAN
MIXED UP IN AFFAIR

Jackson, Misss., September 16.-
Mrs. Mary lila, mother of Martha
Ola, the Asyrian girl who on Sunday
was married to an Asyrian merchant
named Sam Sawayay, and who, ac-
cording to the story of her relatives,
was forced by her mother to enter
into the marriage denies absolutely
that there was any force used on her
part, or that she whipped the girl
on that account.
According to her story, however,
the girl wanted to marry George Mike,
young Asyrian, at Terry, who she
thought unable to support her and
she told her daughter that she had
better marry a man who could prop
erly support her and that if she did
not she need not expect any financial
assistance from her.
The mother as we'll as other Asy-
rians not interested in this particular
case, deny that she ever sold her
daughter, either to her present hus-
band or to another man, as reported
yesterday.
AS to the scene at the church on
Sunday, Gus Beattey, Hattiesburg
contractor, who was mentioned as
having raised a row in the church,
states that his connection with the
wedding consisted only in telling the
priest that the girl was being married
unwillingly, and that her mother had
beaten her with buggy whip in or
der to force her to consent to the
marriage. He had not seen the girl,
he said, until he saw her mother
whipping her Sunday morning when
he happened to be passing that way
in company with friend
1t is understood that the girl was
twice taken to the church Sunday
before the wedding was finally con-
summated. This morning she is said
to be somewhat reconciled to her
husband and surroundings, and it is
believed by some of the interested
parties that there will be nothing fur
ther of the legal proceedings began
yesterday.

STEPS ARE TAKEN TO
ANNUL The MARRIAGE
Remarkable Scene in Church, Where
the Ceremony Was Performed-Un-
Gle of Girl Will Move Heaven and
Earth in Her Behalf.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 16.-Forced
by her mother to marry Sam Saw
ayay, an Asyrian merchant doing bus
mess at the corner of Pascagoula
and Parish streets, when she herself
wanted to marry George Mike, another
Assyrian living at Terry, is the claim
on which relatives of Martha Ola are
trying annul a marriage performed
yesterday at the Catholic church by
Father c. A. Oliver.
Martha is said to be only 16 years
old and pretty. For the past two or
three days there has been a good deal
of commotion around the corner where
all the interested parties live, and the
neighbors say the girls mother has
repeatedly beaten her to force her to
submit to the marriage, which was con
sumated yesterday afternoon.
The wedding itself was attended by
a scene in which it is said that Bate,
a friend of the girl showed fight and
flourished a weapon, and the bride ran
from the church. pursued by her moth

her back and, relatives claim, forced

mis- to four feet of ground lying on
Forest street, between that street and
the government lot.
Mr.. Banks conferred at some length
with Mr.. McInnis, it is understood,
when the latter agreed for consider
alton of $500 to give a quit claim to
the four feet of ground.
The attorney feels that the govern
ment secured warranty deed from
the opera house company for lot ly-
ing on Forest street, and if there is
anything to the McInnis claim that it
is up to the local company.
Mr.. Banks therefore feels that there
is no danger ahead for the govern
ment Just what the outcome will be
remains to be seen.
