The Year 1908
WILL BE
Presidential Year

Every good citizen owes it to himself and to the
country to keep well informed on the political events
which will eliminate in the election of a president,
who will be charged with the administration of the
national government for four years.
Every good citizen owes it to himself and to
his country to post himself about the candidates
competing for high political p%referment and about
the issues on which the great parties will divide in
order to decide intelligently how to cast his vote,
The preliminary skirmishing for the great polit-
iCal battle of 1908 is already begun and the position
OF the principal participants is constantly changing
with new developments nearly every day.
The big nominating conventions in prospect,
particularly the republican national convention which
is to meet in Chicago in June, promises to be the
most stirring and interesting gatherings Of the kind
in the history of the country.
The moving panorama will be wildly and &C
curately pictured in The Bee from day to day the
candidates will be presented in their own pronounce
ments and speeches the issues will be discussed
and all the current political happenings will be
as they occur.

Democrats Minus Quantity.

WEBSTER CITY, Ia, June 1~3-(special)
Nothing is so apparent among the many
results Of the primary election last week
as the utter disintegratioR OF the demo-
cratic party in Hamilton county. The
Board Of Supervisors has just finished the
canvass Of the returns and it has been
found that. whereas there are 2,757 repub-
licsns in the county, there are but 1S2 demo-
Gratis, that being the vote received by
Claude Porter for governor. The number
OF democratic votes cast for congress is
even less. being but 100. The socialist vote
was even less, there being but eleven cast
in the county. Freedom and Scott town
ships claim especial honors. In neither one
of these precincts was a single democratic
vote cast. For the democratic nomination
for congressman Hakes beat Mention in
Hamilton county by thirty-two votes, he
having eighty-one to Mentions forty-nine.
Those persons best informed, however, are
OF the opinion that the November election
will disclose more democrats than did last
