from this district, to make political
addresses in the interest Of their

Mr.. Alexander followed closely
the line Of his recently published
address. He discussed the national
Democratic platform, and argued
that its every plank involved deal
ing with corporations and corpor

had never been corporation attor-
ney, preferring independent prac-l
tice, and had turned down several
very tempting offers Of railroad at
torneyships. He criticized quite
severely ex-Gov. Vardaman's ac-
tions and attitude on the race ques-
tion and the little achieved by him
IN public life, but made no direct
reference to Senator Percy, his
other opponent in the senatorial
race.
Mr.. Alexander was introduced
by NJ. Mccullough. Representative

him in the late secret ballot caucus

Next, you will please consider
the easy money, which is nothing,
more than corporation money that
is placed in the hands Of some in

tage Of the corporation and to the
detriment of the working man.
Usually it is used to buy votes to-
elect men that will serve the inter-

The Soldier Ant,

The lion is the king of beasts. but
all of his magnificent strength and
ferocity would avail him nothing when
he faced a mere ant But this ant is
not the usual kind which peacefully
goes about its domestic duties day by
day. 1t is the terrible driver or soldier
ant said to be the most invincible
creature in the world. Against these
tiny enemies no man or band of men.
no lion or tiger, not even herd Of
elephants. can do anything but hur-
riedly get out of the way. Among the
Barotse natives favorite form of cap
ital punishment is to coat the victim
with grease and throw him before the
advancing army of soldier ants. The
quickness with which the poor wretch
is dispatched is marvellous when it is
considered that each ant can do moth
ing more than merely tear out a small
particle of flesh and carry it off. Yet
in a surprisingly short time the with
ing victim will have been changed into
a skeleton.
