OUR readers will remember that we
said at the beginning of the campaign
that the so,called stalwart faction was
headed by Kittredge and a few ex
office holders who wanted to again
get at the teed trough. And events
are fast justifying that statement.
Notwithsta nding the fact that ex Sen
ator Kittredge caused to be circulat
ed the report that he would have
nothing more to do with politics, be
has been out in the small towns Of
Turner county making speeches for
the so-called stalwarts, which is only
another way of saying that be is out
speaking in his own interests. This
whole factional scrap started by a
half dozen is in the interest Of
Kittredge. They care no more for
Sam Elrod than they do for a yellow
dog But they want Sam elected to
serve their own ends; they need the
appointive power to build up a ma.
chine to put Kit back in the Z. S,
senate where the people once said
they did not want him.

In his testimony before the con-
gressional investigating committee
Ballinger said he did nothing for the
Cunningham bunch that could pot
have been done by dentist or 'hoss"
doctor We believe it for he hasn't
done anything in his Office that could
not have been done by ten year old
boy. Anybody could follow instruc-
tions from gang of thieves if his
sense of morality and honesty was as
badly out of repair as Ballinger's
seems to be.

JUST now each faction Of the re-
publican party is engaged in making
extravagant claims as TO its strength
and what they expect the primary
election to show a little more than
two weeks ahead. The INDEPENDENT
might as we'll get into the game and
register a prediction, The situation,
as we see it, warrants us in saying
that Gov. Vessey will be the winner
in the three cornered gubernatorial
contest. We would place EIrod
second and Egan third, although
Elrod will not run as far ahead of
Egan as some of his friends profess
to believe. We look for Thos. Thor
son to beat Martin in the race for con-
gressman, and for a very close vote
between Schrader and Burke with the
odds slightly in favor of Schrader.
The reason we look for Burke to run
vi bLdI Vic
efforts Of the stalwarts seem to be
centered in Burke's campaign. They
are neglecting Martin for Burke. We
look to see the election Of both stalwart
congressman because the people of
this state are progressive. A. W..
Ewert, of Pierre, will win out over
Johnson the present state treasurer,
because Johnson did not keep his
promises regarding interest on state
deposits and living at the state
capital during his term in office. The
balance of the state ticket will go pro-
gressive on straight factional lines
because very little interest is taken
by either side.

A CANNED editorial appeared stimuli
taneously in a great number of stall
wart papers last week of which the
following was the first sentence:
"The fact might just as we'll be
realized now that the fight for govern
orship lies between Elrod and Egan." !"
The article then went on in further
attempt to throw scare into the peo-
pie by pretending that Egan might
be nominated. The object, of course,
is to line up for Elrod all those oppos-
ed TO Egan. But any man who hao
had sense enough of his own to break
away from the old machine and be-
come a progressive will not be fooled
by such ridiculous statements. And
again, there are great many who
would take very little interest in the
primary if they believed the issue was
really Elrod or Egan. There is no
great difference 10 the ability of two
men, except Egan has Elrod looking
like 30 cents when it comes to wind
jamming contest. But why don't they
go a step further and say positively
that Elrod will be nominateds BY a
simple turn of the pen they pretend to
have Gov. Vessey out of the race, but
they profess to not to be able to say
whether it will be Egan or Elrod.
The fact is the stalwarts have not
been able to stir up particle of
enthusiasm for Sam Elrod. Sam
made so many bad breaks they had
to pull him off from speech making
for long time. The last hope they
had of turning the voters to Elrod
was to try to scare them by holding
up Egan,

obtain railroad rate legislation in Con.
gress. When he got home be did not
dare to criticise the Progressives for
the measures that had become law in
spite of his determined oppositions,
but he also joined in an active cam
paign against them on the grounds of
extravagant appropriations, although
he himself had voted for all the APP
preparations. He was a candidate for
reelection in one of the strongest
Stalwart counties in the state and
was defeated by Democrat, a good
MIN, little known outside his own
predict. But the faithful shall have
their reward. He has now been Sc
lected by the Stalwart machine as
their candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, where he would on account of
his official position as president of
the Senate be real effective in shap-
ing legislation. His name is Joe
Parmley; his home is in Ipswich.
The Stalwart county has to their
credit defeaten the county boss at
the polls for his betrayal of their in
terests to the railroad corporations; +;
now the voters of the state are asked
to pay the debt of gratitude by max
ing Parmley Lieutenant Governor.
You may wonder where these men
get their inspiration in opposing so
boldly Legislation demanded by the
people. We refer you to the message
of the retiring Governor Elrod, de
livered to the 1907 Legislature, in
which he begs them to be good 10
the railroads.
See page 5, Official Message.

FROM a progressive standpoint the
most encouraging reading that can be
found is the political predictions the
Argus Leader in which claims of a
great victory for Elrod are continually
made. The fact is that in the last
two campaigns the Argus-Leader's
predictions have never come true
even in the least degree. But it
pleases the Argus Leader to make the
ridiculous predictions, and it pIeases
us to read them for we know that all
conditions point to the reverse as
being true.

That any man could have the nerve
to vote for an appropriation bill and
later come before the people and ask
for an election to office upon the
claim of extravaganza of the present
administration of which he is still a
part, is beyond understanding. And
yet there are two men posing as SO
called stalwarts who voted for the
appropriations, and who now tell us
their Appropriations were extravagant.
They are j. w. Parmley, who wants
to be lieutenant governor, and t. E.
Price, who wants to be attorney gen
eral. If that appropriation bill was
wrong, why did they vote for it' If
it was right when they voted for it,
why do they now condemu it, Any
man, in any party, who will be SO
two-faced as these men are in regard
to the matter of appropriations is not
worthy of the vote of any honest man.

So far none of the Brookings pa
pers have dared to tell us how the
appropriation for the state college in
that town was extravagant, OF how
the funds have been mismanaged
When they make the claim that the
republican administration has been
extravagant, and yet refuse our re,
quest for an explanation in regard tc
that part of the appropriations spen,
in their own town, it is fair to assume
they are lying about the whole matter
We will let it go at that until they
see fit to make an explanation per
tanning to their own locality,

'KICKERS OF THE PIG SKIN
GET READY FOR THE FRAY

The original schedule did not contain
a game between Auburn and the old
stars of Montgomery, but such a con-
test has been arranged, to be played
in Auburn on the campus October 1.
No settlement of the Auburn-Georgia
game location has been reached. Savan-
nah, Ca, and Columbus, Ca. are the two
towns most keenly anxious for the game;
Savannah, especially. bending every eff
fort Of the press and public officials to
secure the date. Montgomery, while be-
ing considered by the authorities, has
made no overtures as yet A conference
between Georgia and Auburn managers
will be held shortly it Is believed, at
which the question Will be settled.
Stiff scrimmages, lasting until dark
ness obscures the plays, have marked
the work of the football squad for the
last two days. A notable Improvement
in the work of varsity has been achieved
in even the two days. The first even
ing the scrappy scrubs held the regular
eleven for downs, and 1t was only after
20 minutes of play that the regulars got
away for a touchdown. This evening it
was easier for varsity and the sluggish
ness of the first practice was offset by a
ginger, hard pungng and fierce tackling.
The regular backfield, as in the line
ups of the past two days. consists OF
STREET, Coggdel, Stirling and Page, at
halves and full Shirling, Coggdell and
STREET. are heavy men, the heaviest three.
probably that ever played on a single
Auburn team. Page is lighter, but fast.

Auburn, September 24.-(Special. )-Au-
burns football schedule has undergone
a rather radical revision since it's first
drafting. The most important change
was the transfer of the Clemson-Au-
burn game from Clemson, S. c., to the
campus at Auburn. The transfer was eff
fected with the consent of the Clemson
authorities. 1t lightens Auburn's hard
schedule, which includes trips to Austin,
rex, New Orleans, Atlanta, and, origi-
nally. Clemson, following closely on the
heels of one another
The game will be played, then, between
Clemson and Auburn on the campus at
Auburn October o. The games with
Clemson and Tech will be the ones by
which Auburn's standing in the S. 1. A.
A. will be gauged for the season, and
the fact that the significant contest will
be played in Alabama, at spot within
easy access of all football centers, will
be popular.
Another change in the schedule is the
.transfer Of the Auburn Tulane game from
New Orleans, where It. was originally
slated to Gulfport Miss The transfer
was erected mainly because of the fact
that a state fair is being held at Gulf
kport on the day of the game, and the
|prospect of bullying gate receipts looked
good to the authorities.
