Republican spellbinders, telling only
a small part of the truth, are arguing
that the cost to the people per capita
under the present tariff is $3.46 a year.
figuring on basis of 100000. 600 re-
ceipts from tariff duties, per year, and
a population of 9O000,00O people.
But as. in most arguments on the
protective tariff. the important fea-
ture is suppressed in republic oratory
and republican newspaper advertising.
As matter of fact, the total tax paid
by the consumer because of the tariff
amounts annually to two and one-quar.
ter billion dollars of which 13 per cent
goes in the national treasury and the
balance goes to the manufacturers or
interests, as protection of profits"
This puts quite another aspect upon
the situation and affords abundant
reason why the people of the United
States should vote for Wilson and
Marshall who are pledged personally
and through the democratic party plat.

The republican organization in Craig
county is very earnest. and very pious
in its efforts to induce voters to vote
for the man regardless Of political
afiiliation. but in all its urgent button
holing no democrat has been sug-
gested as being a good man to vote
for. Democrats will not be fooled into
voting for republicans on the pretext
that the man should be voted for even
though he be republican. The re-
publican vote will go to republicans
as it always does regardless of the
fitness of the candidate. In the first

able ticket from top to bottom and

The presidential elector is a state
officer chosen for a definite purpose
and that purpose is to represent the
state in the electoral college in the
choice of a president and vice presi-
dent of the United States. For near
ly hundred years the people before
voting for presidential electors have
demanded to know for whom the cleo
toral candidates would vote in the
event of their election. so that we
have virtually had the popular choice
of president and vice president, though
technically these officers have been
elected by the electoral college.
