ment should run up the price of salt, by put
ting tariff-tax on it?
Don't you think that the great Government
at Washington might at Toast aUow the poor
1a6or1ng man to salt has food, acithout c7tas-
ing ee'e1y loaf Of bread, every meorsez Of meet,
and every ounce Of butter WITH 4 HEAVY
TAX?
That was one of the outrageous burdens
on the peasantry which provoked the French
Revolution.
Oscar Underwood thought the tax shame
full one, and he passed bill through Con
gress to kill it. But Count Fosco again rose
brauezy TO S1KZ7'E THE UNDER DOG.
He vetoed the bill, emitting loud, virtuous
noises as he did so.
And of course the Salt Trust ''has it in" for
Underwood.
(5) At present. the Federal Government
lives off the people who possess the least
wealth. Those who possess the most wealth,
get five times as much profit out of tariff
taxation, as the Federal Government does.
This, I. have explained fully in our Tariff
Primer"
Oscar Underwood believes that aoeo7th
sh0uzd be t0aed to support the Federal Gov
eminent. HE HAS INTRODUCED AN
INCOME TAX ron THAT PURPOSE.
He has passed it through the House.
It may pass the Senate. It will never pass
Count Fosco. He, the Rich-man' man, does
not want the rich men taxed.

nOnhere. WHOEVER BOSSES ST. LOUIS
AND KANSAS CITY, BOSSES TIE
STATE.
How is it done?
By the popular cote pzan ochicb ignores
the county units.
Where the elections are carried by mere
numbers without regard for the separate
territorial divisions, de13se|y populated city
can o0e1poecer thirty or forty country conn.,
ties. THUS, ONE COUNTY CAN RULE
TIE WHOLE STATE.
Is that right? Is it democratic? Should
St. Louis become the ruler of all Missouri?
No-but she does it.
Ed. Butler and Gumshoe Stone absolutely
dominate Missouri. How? BIZ using the
condemnation Of tho st. Louis and 4 0nsas City
6ag'-heepers and the Ronaaaeist priests.
In Georgia, the same situation is fore
Swallowed. An insolent Executive Committee
has arbitrarily set aside our county unit plan.
THE BOSSES WHO RULE THE BIG
CITIES WANT TO EXTEND THEIR
POWER OVER THE WHOLE STATE.
u TO accomplish this nefarious scheme, they
have SO muddled our registration laws, that
tLucifer himself could not untangle them.
20 make matters worse, they hare called the
primary for the first of May, IN 4 YEAR
WHEN THE FARMERS ARE TWO
MONTHS BEHIND WITH THEIR
WORK. This they have done, otter. the

And, of course, the rich men of Big Bust
ness are rabidly hating the Alabama states
man who means to compel them to pay taxes
on their net incomes.
(6) Underwood proposes that sugar shall
come into our ports, without having to pay
license-fee. This would mean cheaper
sugar. Taft-will save the Sugar Trust from
foreign competition, by vetoeing Under
woods bill; and the Sugar Trust becomes one
more implacable foe of the Alabama states
man.
Now, then:
Why are W. j. Bryan and Woodrow VIII
son uniting to destroy Underwood?
Wilson and Bryan have both been financed
by Wall Street Wilson and Bryan both
favored that infamous Sherwood bill Wilson
and Bryan have never made any fight on any
Trust domiciled in their own States
The beet-sugar men of Nebraska can always
count on W. J. B. qoh0 qcos a lobbyist Of
theirs 3ohen he 2o0S IN Congress.
Woodrow Wilson, Governor Of New Jer-
sey, makes no fight on the scores Of Trusts
domicAed in his State
The Steel Trust is domiciled in Oscar
Underwood's own State, and yet he had the
nerve to attack it.
Why then should Bryan and Wilson con-
tend that Underwood is the Trust candi-
date?
Are they IN the pay of The Amerjcop Pro-
tect50e ASS0ci0tjon9
APPARENTLY, THEY ARE. Why,
else, should they unite to ruin this trust bust
ing Albanian?

Who Is Financing the Campaign of SANDER Aga1r1e

THE man who is most feared by the mil
1 honalres of Big Business, is Oscar
Underwood. Please consider the unde-
niable facts:
% Underwood proposed to remove the
tariff taxes from nearly all the articles made
from steel and iron. The removal of these
duties would have opened our ports to all
sorts of foreign articles, made of iron and
steel Consequently, the Steel Trust acas Bit
ter1y offended By Underwoods free trade
measure. The Trust was saved by Count
Fosco, our double faced President, who vetoed
the Underwood bill
(2) Underwood proposed to put on the
free-llst almost every implement controlled
by the Harvester Trust-and sold abroad to
the competitors Of our farmers, At LOWER
Prices THAN OUR FARMERS CAN
GET. Again, Count Fosco saved the Trust,
by vetoing the Underwood bill. You may be
sure that the Harvester Trust hates and
fears the intrepid statesman of Alabama.
(3) Underwood proposed to put Sewing
machines on the free list. What q boom that
qo0atld h0re been to the ar0noen and girls qcho
haze to make their oU7e hv5pq Nth those
ust-c0ntro3JcW machines! Count Fosco
saved the Trust, HAVING NO SYMPATHY
ron WOMEN TOILERS, nor man toilers,
either! Mr.. TAFT is 4 RICH-N4N'S
MAN, FROM COVER TO COVER. And,
of course, the Sewing-machine Trust does not
love Oscar Underwood.

take the tariff-tax off SALT Don't YOU think it

THROUGHOUT the United States, thel
is a steady drift of population and {

THROUGHOUT the United States, there
is a steady drift of population and of
political power to the cities.
Within an hours run from New York,
there are deserted farms. Not far from Bos-
ten are abandoned farms. Throughout the
Southern land, there are cleared fields grow
ing up in scrub pines, and mansions falling
into dilapidation
Where the slave-owner used to live, shift
less negroes now live.
To the City! is the cry of the restless peo-
pie, allured by some unfathomable tempta-
ton, impelled by some inexplicable Influence.
AS q natural consequence, political power
takes the same direction. Some master of
chicane and mani pulation becomes the Boss
of the City; and, from the City, he stretches
his control over the State.
Thus in Rhode Island, the blind General
Brayton not only ruled the city of Providence,
but he controlled the country also, debating
to legislatures, selecting national Representa-
tives, and naming u S. Senators.
In New York, Charles Murphy controls
both the city and the State. To a very large
extent, he influences the nominations of the
National Democratic party-4changinga to- the
Republicans, when his interest lies that way
In Ohio, the Boss of Cincinnati largely
controls the State In California, we see the
same thing; the Boss of San Francisco rules
the roost.

A Suicide Mystery.

The sudden death of Mrs. Cora Nc
Adams, of the Teton, was reported to
the authorities late Tuesday evening,
word being brought to town by John
Neubert. The remains we're subse-
quently brought to town and a coron.
er's jury impaneled, but the jury de-
cided not to render q verdict until an
analyst of the contents of the stomach
had been made.
From the information given out it
appears that DR.. Jones, at whose
ranch Mrs. McAdams had been living,
returned to his home for supper Tues
day evening, and discovered the dead
body lying on some hay in q stable
that was fastened on the inside. The

Was 1t Accident, Suicide or Murder7
The Chou.eau county authorities are
confronted by a mystery in the death
OF Paul Hourk, a young mar employ.
ed by the Northwe.tern Livestock CON-
pany. whose dead body was found on
the prairie Thursday evening, about
a mile from the company's home
ranch. Death was due to a bullet
wound, but how i; was Inflicted is q
ma ter upon which the coroner's jury
was unable to agree, and an open
verdict was returned.
From testimony given at the coron-
er's inquest. it appears that the young
man was IN charge of q small bunch
Of ewes, and upon his failure to re-
turn to the ranch Thursday evening q
search was institu' ell, resulting in the
discovery OF the body. Near it lay
the hat and coat of the deceased, and
q 44-caliber Winchester, which be car.
ried to hunt for coyotes, was close by,
the butt near the elbow aud the muzzle
pointing toward the feet. There was
q bullet wound ia the right side, It's
course being stopped by a bone in the
left side.
The theory of suicide Is discredited
by the fact that there we're no powder
burns on the clothing, showing tina,
the muzzle of the weapon was not close
to the body when it was discharged
the cours OF the bullet being almost
straight through the body also refut@s
the theory that the wound was eelf-in-
aicted. If the shooting was accidental,
1t Is difficult to imagine how it could
have happened.
The only plausible explain alton, un-
der the circumstances, is murder by
some person unknown. but there is nc
knowledge OF any reason why such q
crime should have been committed
1t is stated that two shots were heard
10 that vicinity Thursday afternoon,
but no attention was paid to the mat
ter as 1t was supposed young HoucA
was shooting a. a target or a coyote.
The unfortuna ate young nan is q
brother of Chas. Houck. of this city,
and came here from Rockford, ILL.,,
about q year ago. He was abou,
twenty years of age, and a young
man of good habits.
