Virginia is the worst boss ridden
state A the Union. The tickets have
bc5n named by star chamber meth
DDS and the voters treated with that
ins)lenCe that the ring politician de-
manCs. What was the use of cal ing
a convention, anyway? The ring
sters lad decided that Swisher would
be the nominee. Swisher was so
unpopular that nearly thousand
men scratched his name in his home
county, even though he had no OPP
position, it having been agreed
among the candidates that they
woull not oppose one another in
the home county of the candidate.
The state committee was with
Swishor from start to finish. The
delegates were largely named by
Swisher himself, "A method which
was without precedent. There were
other candidates on the state tick

A STRONG TICKET.

The old Enquirer. OF Cincinnati
which hasn't had good word to say
OF Democracy or the party for years
seems to have gotten into the band
wagon. Listen to II:
THE Democratic party has donned
It's Fighting clothes. II scents vic
tory in the air OF 1908. II has
chosen two capable gladiators to
iead the fight. The thunderous
demonstrations at Denver differed
from those OF other years i'm that
they were inspired by harmony and
not by strife. The outbursts of en-
thusiasm were not of the sort man
fractured to stampede the delegates
to or from any man. They testified
rather to the revival OF hope. the dis
carding of differences that had rent
the party hopelessly asunder, and to
the deep-rootel virility of Democra-
cy.
Mr.. Bryan Is at the very noodtide
of physical strength and mental
vigor The immaturity that was
charged against him In other years
can be no longer urged. Never a
mean antagonist. he has developed
and grown through years OF travel
and study until he has become an
adversary worthy of the strongest
mans steed. In the present cam
paign he can not fail to take ad-
vantage OF a condition that mill
tated largely against his success in
1896. No candidate was ever more
prone TO put his finger on canker
spots than Mr.. Bryan. There was
much in the Denver convention to
indicate that he has back of him
this time an earnest, determined
united, fighting party.
John w. Kern. of Indiana, nomi-
nee for the vice presidency, has long
been cCnsplcuo Gus in public affairs
While known better in his own state
than elsewhere, his fame as n iurist
and advocate has spread far through
the land. Judge Kern is in the very
prime of life. Though defeated for
governor of Indiana on two occa-
sions he is very popular in his own
state, and is held in high esteem
even by his political opponents. In
diana is still regarded as a battle
ground in preside initial elections, and
no man is better fitted to win the
suffrages of this doubtful state than
Mr.. Kern.
The ticket nominated at Denver Is
a good one. 1t combines many ele-
ments of strength. Both of the can
didates are splendidly equipped
mentally and physically. Both are
excellent campaigners, with a broad
knowledge Of public affairs. Each
is OF unimpeachable character. They
go forth to battle as unsullied
knights. strong in the confidence of
those whose champions they are.
There is going to be a fight in this
year of grace 1908, and a good one. q"
