Democratic Duties

There are two duties for democrats
to perform that will not bear postpone
ment until the usual more conven-
lent season." In the cities and in the
county precincts where the law re-
Quires it, the registration days must be
remembered and the voter enroll him
self or he will lose his vote. Also re-
mind your more remiss democratic
neighbor to attend to the same import
ant duty; don't rely upon his memory
or promise, but urge him to accom-
pany you to the registration Office.
Another equally important duty is
to see that all democrats vote. At the
last state election a trifle over two per
cent more democrats voting would
have carried Massachusetts for govern
or. A little less than two per cent
more democrats voting would have
elected a democratic governor Of Mis-
souri,. Just over one per cent more
democrats voting would have elected
the democratic governor OF New
Jersey; the relative per centage OF
votes cast being republican 5055 and
democratic 1880. Less than four per
cent more democrats voting would
have elected the governor of New
Hampshire. Less than half of one per
cent more democrats voting would
have elected the delegate to Congress
from New Mexico. Less than three
per cent more democrats voting would
have defeated the republican governor
of Kentucky and a republican United
States Senator. Taft carried Indiana
by only one and one-half per cent more
than Bryan received. The democrats
carried Colorado for president by only
Iii per cent more votes than the re
publican candidate received
These figures show the Importance
of democrats registering and voting
Two more democrats voting in addition
to each 100 votes cast will change the
result in some states, and will Ger
tainly elect many candidates for Con
gress and Legislature who otherwise
will be defeated.
There are enough democrats in al
the close states and congressiona
districts TO elect the democratic can
didates if they will only register ant
vote. The lazy and the laggard voters
must be urged to do their duty II
themselves and to their country b!
their ardent democratic neighbors whit
bear the heat and the toll of the day.

SO splitting the anti-Roosevelt vote.
Mr.. Hearst, for obvious reasons. pre-
ferred the latter course, and so with
the open avowal that the purpose was
to aid Mr.. Roosevelt get control or the
New York state government the Hearst
people named their ticket: For gov
ernor. John ]. Hopper: for Lieutenant
governor, William Randolph Hearst.
Yes: this is the same Mr. Hearst
whom Mr.. Roosevelt denounced in his
first message to congress as among
those who had instigated the murder
of William McKinley-as among those
who by reckless utterance in the pub
lie press appeal to the dark and evil
spirits of malice and greed, envy and
sullen hatred"
And that there might be no doubt
whom he meant Mr. Roosevelt later
commissioned Elihu Root to say this:
'"I say, by the presidents authori-
ty, that in penning those words he
had Mr.. Hearst specifically in
mind l say by his authority, that
what he thought of Mr.. Hearst
then he thinks of Mr.. Hearst now"
However, that was In 1906, when Mr..
Roosevelt's solemn pledge not to seek
a third term was only two years old.
Now MT. Roosevelt welcomes the CO
operation of Mr.. Hearst.
The reconciliation is apparently com

'rAnd I've been Iniruding on your

morsefully. "rll run along down now

"You do not know my name" said
the girl suddenly. "It's not fair when

'HThank you" said Satterly gravely.
After awhile the greedy wind tore
the paper from his hands, and they
watched It sail down the mountain
side until it reached the lake, where
1t became white winged craft and
disappeared from view.
Then Billy showed Rose how TO find
pictures in the sailing clouds, and she
scoff1ngly taught him more about
cloud painting than he had ever dream
ed, for she was child Of prairie and

So they talked until the sun dipped

went regretfully down the narrow

Rose Benworth over the slippery pine

The republican party has been In
control of the government for prac-
tically fifty years. Just previous to
every election in that time a favorite
deception of the leaders was to inform
the public that in the event of demo
cratic success, securities of all kinds
would depreciate in the markets, &C.
comodations would be withdrawn from
the bankers of the country and disas-
ter would surely follow. This trick
has been worked for all that it is worth,
and it can not be denied that it had
influence upon the voters, and many
an election was carried thereby by
the republicans. Just after the
recent election in Maine, when the
democrats carried the state by an
overwhelming vote, all legitimate
stocks, bonds and other securities at
once rallied from sluggishness and de-
preston and gained notable appre-
citation. Not only the masses but the
business interests now distrust the re-
publican organization 1t has been
clearly proven the republican orGani-
zation has been worked for almost
half a century against the interests
of the people in behalf of the money
trust and big business. The demo-
cratic party is not an enemy of the
legitimate business interests, and the
public as never before now realizes 1t.

ALLEGED
Agent of Iron Company Said to
Have Given Highway Com
missioner Check.
TURNED OVER TO BURKE
Prosecutor Summons 9th
er Highway Officers to Testify
Along Same Line.

Springfield, ILL.,, Oct. 12.-Subpoenaes
were issued yesterday at the instance
of States Attorney Burke for highway
commissioners from several northern
illinois counties to appear in Spring
field at the investigation of the alleged
bribery charges against J. r. Finkel-
stein, president of the Greenburg Iron
company of Terre Haute. Ind Finkel-
stein is alleged to have offered bride
to w. r. Koch of Adams county in
consideration of contracts for iron
supplies to be furnished the county.
Koch, the main witness, failed to
appear to testify at the hearing. 1t is
believed he misunderstood the date on
which he was to present his evidence.
According 20 charges made by Koch,
he was given a check for $3.50 after
he had purchased $500 worth of iron
supplies from Finkelstein. Koch kept
the check two days and then turned it
over to States Attorney Burke.
Finkelstein had an office in this city
during fair week and it was at that
time that the transaction with Koch
is alleged to have taken place. When
the charge was first made against
Finkelstein. a warrant was sworn out
in Justice Connolly's court charging
bribery 1t was then thought that Fin
kelstein was still in the city. The au-
thorities here will not attempt to bring
Finkelstein to Springfield unless the
grand jury, which is now in session,
returns an indictment.
Work of Rivals, He Says.
Terre Haute, Ind, Oct. III. R.
Finkelstein, who faces prosecution for
alleged bribery in Illinois, accumulat-
ed fortune dealing in scrap iron and
is active in the republican party of the
state He says he is investigating the
Springfield report that he is to be
prosecuted for giving a check for
$3.50 to Highway Commissioner Koch.
Il think it is about time they let up
on me-" said Finkelstein. "All there
| is about it is that some Illinois manu-
facturers who sell road materials and
machinery didn't want me doing bust
ness over there. l am having newspa-
per reports investigated and if 1 find
out they did not come from Spring
| field, why, there will be trouble"

1t hopes to maintain it's defiant atti-
