TALKING THROUGH ITS BONNET

TheH aItfoTd Herald is still talking
through its old het about the dissatis-
faction in the Republican party in
Ohio County over the splendid County
ticket, which was nominated last De-
cember. It has claimed for weeks that
there We're many prominent Repub-
Leans in and around Hartford who
had announ ced Ii cir intention of bolt
iipg the Republican ticket this fall.
When called on by US for particulars,
It lodges behind the statement that
we only went 10 know the names in
order 10 abuse Z, EN-. Last week We
explicitly s2!d that We not onlywoud
not do this, but that We would also
refuse to publish tie uames Of such
persons, provided the Herald would
comply with our request to give them
in It's co-ums. Tie Herald is through
ly discredded on this question since
il has. utterly failed 10 mention q
single Republican wlo is refusing to
support the ticket. 1t misgepresents
the facts when it tries TO create the
impression that any Republicans are
dissatisfied with the ticket. We 10
not doubt but that some candidates
ard friends OF candidates were dfsap-
pointed because particular ores did
not win, but as the Herald knows and
everyone else knows, someone had TO
lose. Three Of those for whom the
writer voted, failed Of nomination, but
good men were nominated and We ex-
peot to vote and work for their cleo
tion just as those candidates and their
friends who were defeated would have
expected Republicans ii have voted and
worked for their election, had they
succeeded. 1t is perfectly apparent that
the Herald Editor is the boy who is
"whistling" to keep his courage up,end
is building a boggie men Of straw 10
which 1T hopes to attract attention and
to encourage the minority party in the
belief that they can elect ticket in
this county at the coming November
election.

The Democratic machine in Dexing-
its effort to construct a slate tick
ct. More than half OF the candidates
withdrew from the primary which
wes held last Tuesday, one of the
number including Circuit Judge Par
er, who hes for years been an
honoCed Circuit Judge at Lexington.
The primary was Therefore perfume
tory affair, and II the Republicans are
wise in the selection Of a city ticket
tire machine made ticket will have
uhotny road to travel in the Novem-
Der election. Lexington has been for
years one Of the worst machine ridden
towns IN adj TIE country. The cleo
tons have been were farces. Her mos
prominent citizens have been dubbed
and driven from TIE polls and out
RACES Of the most hignihanded characte
have gone UNPUBLISHED because the
city government was in the hands Of
an INSCRIPTIONS machine which has
stopped at nothing 10, carry out it's
ends. The Frances of the city have
gone from bad TO worse, until graft
and miss-appropIfuticn OF funds have
been Tire rule instead Of exception. 1t
is TO be hoped that out of the present
row in the DemocTetic camp, the city
of Lexington may emmerge with a
clean munioipal government.

The tobacco trust continues to secure
the publication from time to time, Ct
statements to the effect taat the Bur-
icy Association is going to pieces and
that the Planters Protestive Associa-
ton Is split in twain and ready TO
give up the fight. We have no doubt
that these stories are mere fabrication
and done for the purpose Of discou7-
aging tobacco growers in their fight
for fair prices and to maintain their
organization. However, these two as
sociations have made a serious mis-
take in not giving their full support
TO the American Society Of Equity.
Through II alone can a continuous Or
g3nization be maintained, which will
protect their interest. These two or
CARNATIONS have been almost criminal
ly negligent in their support Of the
parent organization, which first gave
life ana vitality TO the poohng plan.
1t has been a means of placing mil
lions of dollars in the pockets Of tine
members of the associations and yet
they have disowned the American So
ciety of Equity and have rot given a
penny in return TO help maintain and
extend the membership and influence
of this organization.

is that nobody viii be satisfied with

the business men oft he United States

than to have stood the loss which

In viewing this same situation from
Democratic standpoint it would seem
that resolutions against tariff duties
would strike many a member of that
party's conventions.
The majority of the gentlemen whp
aligned themselves to reduce tariff du-
ties, whether. calling themselves Demo
Gratis or Republicans, seem now to be
wasting their ammunition upon bell
ringing targets such as income and In
heritance taxes instead of paying close
attention 10 the schedules upon import
ed articles.

The democrats, therefore cannot ia

The Republicans are charged with
the responsibility OF raising the
revenue and spending it and they mat
uraliy favor producing the largest
amount possible through the Nevying
q the tariff.
There never was a tariff revision
since 1910 that showed such response
to local conditions and local sentiment
as is exhibited in both the Senate and
the House at this time.
The tariff seems to be out OF par-
tisan hines and the political feeders
cannot control the votes of their PARTY
associates soddday upon any importaut
article.
Good headway is being made in shak

It will be a long time in the future

To an outsider it looks like it would
