In the awarding of the 81 900 cup

ton. See that all the votes that you

Provision for Tie.
It is well perhaps now that the con
test is nearing the closing day and
that up to this time none has laid any
definite claims to the leadership, to
repeat our earlier provision In case
tie results between any two of the
candidates for either first or second
place. The provision is made in case
of tie for either first or second
place, the prizes or their equivalent
are to be equally divided between
the contestants so tying. We have
been surprised, and greatly, by the
close race that all of our contestants
have been making. II would not
be impossible for three or four con
testants to tie for first place, that is
II all keep up their remarkable work.

Gar wrong when they get on the other
side, and oppose those upheld by the
agents Of privilege
In an address about three years
ago, the late Justice Brewer Of the su.
preme court OF the United States
said: Many senators and representa-
tives owe their places to corporate in
nuence, and that influence is exerted
under an expectation. II not an un-
derstanding, that as lawmakers the
corporate interests shall be subseryed.
The danger lies in the fact that they
are SO powerful, and that the pressure
OF so much power on the individual
law-maker lempts him to forget the
nation and remember the corporation.
And the danger Is the greater because
Il IS SO insidIous."
There has been too much shouting
of party names and too little teaching
OF the principles that political parties
are supposed TO stand for. When a
man says what principles of govern
ment he believes In. il is not always
easy to tell from that what party he
belongs to, and when a man says what
party he belongs to It Is not always
easy to know what principles Of gov
ernment he believes In.

fairs Of the nation. Pick up paper

RELIGION or DEMOCRACY.

The leading article Of Bryan'a Com
moner recently was by Joseph W.,
Folk. Il Is entitled THE Religion Of
Democracy" The following extracts
are from Mr.. Folks article:
Democracy is more than a name.
It is a religion, the religion Of brother
hood among men. the religion Of equal
opportunity for all mankind. Il Is the
religion that demands more Of the
golden rule and less Of the rule Of
gold in government. This is the kind
OF democracy that should be fought for,
and the kind Of democracy that special
privilege does not desire. II Is an
open secret that the agents OF privi-
lege are now endeayoring to secure
control Of the democratic party AS
the chances for democratic success
have become brighter, their efforts to
dominate the party have proportions
ately increased They would use the
livery Of democracy for their pur-
poses and It Is the duty OF democrats
to see that these interests do not cap
ture the party name, thereby robbing
the people Of the benefits flowing from
a triumph OF democratic principles
THE record Of every candidate
should be carefully examined 20 see
whether he is SO situated without bias
in favor Of any interest antagonistic
to the public. No man can serve two
masters, and those whose environ
ments are such as not to leave them
free for the service Of the people
should not be supported but opposed
by the enemies Of the people. Thai
