told that the merchants and bust

pledged the union advertising pa

A display editorial on the eighth
page OF the paper before us deals
with the question of whether union
labor is ungrateful for the efforts
made In its behalf aud the sympathy

clares that II is not true that union

to say:
" Many men in public life to-day
would fight your battles, but they
have been misled and frightened
away by this bugaboo of ingratitude.
There are men in public office In
this county to-day who would have

~ MEETING of Democrats will
~ be held at the Court House
ION Friday night, October I ,
tor the purpose of organizing a
working campaign club. Every
Democrat who can possibly attend
should be there. The signs are all
favorable for notable Democratic
victory throughout the country.
and we must put forth our best eff
forts to help win and share in the
victory. Both this county and
congressional district are classed
in the doubtful column and etfec.
tive work on the part of all Demo
Gratis is necessary to elect their
member oflCongress and the couu.
ty ticket. 1t will not do for any
Democrat, voter or candidate. TO
be Il laggard in this matter. We
have an exceptionally good county
ticket, andl. Congressman Hensley
has made a record that entities him
to re election and should enlist the
active support of every Democrat
and labOring man in the district.
We have no doubt of his election
and the election OF the county
ticket, but to win Democrats must
be impressed with the Importance
of not neglecting to vote, and there
must be no let up in work from
now until the polls are closed on
November 9Th. A victory appar-
emily achieved may be easily thrown
away by overconfidence and the
failure Of a few Democrats at each
precinct to vote. The work to be
done is to impress every Democrat
Of the Importance of HIS vote and
the danger that lies in neglect to
cast it on November 9th.

The Governor was scheduled as one

them if Taft would declare himself
for a presidential preference pri-

Governor Hadley declare himself

Up to n late hour that night no
answer was received from the Pres.

Hadley took the platform to make

was to snub the State Republican

meeting was being held, by saying
that he did not appear under the

that moves upon the face of the ma
tons is against every man that plots
the nations downfall or the people S

ment; aud that whether one genera

"Guu may remember that alleguri-

cavern after another, cutting holes
in the walls and going into the
