Things That Joe King Thinks.
Durham Herald

we
but we have heard them talk that
way before.
| Mayor GaynOr will not be out Of
danger until he gets out OF the hands
OF the doctors.
That man Gallagher says he is not
insane and it would be just as we'll to
take him at his word.
1t can be seen that the Democrats
are gradually opening their eyes to
what they are up against.
The Republicans do not claim that
living does not come high, but say
| that this is as it should be.
All of which means that the cam
paign this fall will be warmer than
some OF us were expecting it to be.
The Democrats of Nebraska can
hardly do anything to Mr.. Bryan
that has not been done to him before.
When a party considers a thing to
to look to it to bring about a change.
If Mr.. Hicks was elected chief JUS
tice he would have scrap with some
body before he had held the job a
week
1t can be plainly seen that Re.
publicans intend to make capital out
OF prohibition from both sides of the
question.
The Republican politicians are al
ways willing to take off their hats to
| the man who can beat them manOeu-
vering.
Congressman Goodwin also acted
like a man who had discovered that
that was about the only thing he
| could do.
That man Gallagher may have
been crazy, hut it is noticed that he
had his grievance and got the man
he went after.
Mr. Duncan and his crowd under
rated Mr. Butler and the Democrats
want to be careful not to make the
same mistake.
Democratic votes elected Mr.. More
head and if Major Stedman is defeat
ed it will be his own party that ac-
cOmplishes it.
But il the morally stunted do not
like that plank in the Republican
| platform there is nowhere else for
them to turn.
II a congressional committee ever
found out the straight of anything
nobody else has been allowed to dis
cover the fact.
We may have to vote for Mr.. Taft
next time, but we will not do it with
the idea that we are voting for a
tariff refOrmer
| Some of them are mad about it,
but you cannot get them to admit
they are mad snough to vote the
Democratic ticket.
| Mr.. Duncan and few others may
| have known what was going to hap
pen but the others were no doubt
treated to a surprise.
The fight that the Democrats will
have to put up this fall will be as moth
ing to the fight they will have to put
up two years from now.
Neither party can do anything
with the prohibition matter and the
party that says anything about it is
simply playing for votes.
II the committee that was supposed
| to investigate the cost of living cost
the government anything it was
that much money wasted.
When a Democrat feels like saying
anything about Republican wran-
gle he should remember what hap
pened in the Sixth district.
AS Mr. Glenn has been mixing his
religion with his politics for some
time, what is the Use of calling him
down for it at this late day?
1t will be remembered that Gov
ernOr Patterson was standing pat
until he was shown what the people
of Tennessee thought about it.
Mr. Morehead will find it a hard
job to make the kind OF party he
says he wants and at the same time
take care of the Federal offices.
1t will have to be conceded that the
Democrats dropped the local self
government idea before the question
of State prohibition came up.
While Mr.. Taft has the matter
under advertisement he might also
remember that he made promises to
the country and failed to deliver the
goods.
Ii the self-gOvernment plank in the
Republican platform catches any
voters it will be because they do not
take the trouble to inform them
selves.
The tax books may not show it,
but it is nevertheless a fact that the
farms of North Carolina are worth
twice what they were twenty-five
years ago.
If Mr.. Morehead can get the benefit
OF what Mr. Butler knows without
having to take orders from him he
will be in position to make trouble
for somebody.
And right on top of it Mr.. Butler s
brother is nominated for Congress
by the Republicans of the Third dis

Buffers will get their share
The Republicans brought about
Judge Connor's appointment by
wrangling between themselves and it

or at least say no more about it.
That crowd of New York political
grafters have turned down Mr..
Roosevelt as they turned down Gov

opposition party built up in the
State, but the leaders and those who
