poets are that he will not be able to
do ever this. The conservative and in
fluential business men of the county,
who in 1896 elected VIM Mckinley, are
now working with equal effect for MI
Taft. They know and fear the effect
which the election of Mr.. Roosevelt, with
his wild sociaHstic ideas, and his dis
regard for the constitution and the laws
or the election of Mr.. Wilson. who has
crude and immature ideas, and threat
ems radical tariff revision, will have
on the industries of the country. Bush
ness depression. and possible financial
distress, are just as certain to follow
the election of either of these men as
they followed the election of Mr.. Cleve-
land in 1892
The Slaughter List.
Following the names of the electors
in the Republican column are some
candidates who have no party claims
on Republicans for their support
These are w. r. Stubs for United
States senator, Arthur Capper for gov

The reelection of Congressman
Fred S. Jackson by 1000 majority is
claimed by George G. Wood, secretary
to the Fourth district congressman.
He does not believe that the stub
born fight being made against jack
son in his district will seriously re-
duce his majority and claims for Jack
son majority in every county in the
district.
jackson will win in the Novem-
Der election by 5000 majority said
Wood. Il am confident that he will
carry every county in the district and
that he is fully as strong if not strong
er than in the campaign two years
ago. In no campaign he has made
has he ever lost county in his dis
trict and [ do not concede his OPP
paign. I think Jackson will carry
Greenwood county by about 400"

of this number it. is our honest judgment !
that at least 70 per cent will on November |
