ait is TO L.AuGH!"

There are always some amusing
things in a political campaign, and
the one that is now drawing TO close
is no exception.
The one in this campaign that Is cal
culated to provoke laughter is the
vaudeville stunt being pulled of, or
put on, by Mr.. p. l.. wilkins. a candi-
date for probate Judge OF Knox county.
In a dramatic fashion hardly In har-
mony with his falsetto voice, Wilkins
makes announcement to a voter that
Crouch is a deputy!
Then he pauses to see tho effect of
the breaking Of the news!
II It doesn't seem to have a startling
effect, and 1t has never been known

That's where the laugh comes In.
HA! ha! and again ha! ha!
To make II the better understood. II
might be well to state that the Crouch
referred to by wilkins. is 8. NJ. Crouch,
fhe very efficient deputy clerk In tho
probate judges ofiice--not deputy pro-
bate Judge, as wilkins puts II, AZ there
is not such position as deputy probate
Judge.
No one has ever attempted tO deny
Crouchs position. He has been n
very valuable assistant to Probate
Judge Berry and has done great deal
TO make Berry's administration sue
cess. Crouch has mastered tho details
of the Office and possesses familiari-
~ with them not equalled by anyone
who was ever a candidate for tho Of
ace. wilkins will not deny this: ask
him, and see. Crouch's nomination was
fairly won by him over u popular man
and experienced campaigner In an Op-
on primary. His htness for tho Office
was recognized, else he would not
have been nominated by the votes Of
hundreds of Democrats scattered all
over Knox county.
by the way, Mr.. Wilkins has not yet
declared whether he is "A Republican
or Bull Mooser. Is a man who hasn't

DEMOCRATIC VICTORY SURE

Il
The election next Tuesday promises
to be q clean sweep for the Democrat
ic party. The only thing that can pre-
vent It is the failure Of Democrats to
vote, but It is not likely that any con-
siderable number will remain away
from the polls. II the Democratic vote
Is out on election day the greatest vic.
tory ever achieved by . party in the
United States will be the portion Of
the Democratic party on Tuesday.
That should be a sufficient incentive
for every Democrat to vote and bave
the satisfaction of knowing that he
contributed to the result.
II has been apparent for over two
years that a Democrat would be elect
cd to the presidency in 1912. This was
long before anybody dreamed Of split
in the Republican party. bat the split
that occurred last summer will only
add to the size of the Democratic VIC
tory.
The straw vote, In the taking Of
which several of the leading newspap.
ers of the country have been engaged
for several weeks. points unerringly
to a regular landslide to the Demo
cratic party. II shows that IS per
cent OF the vote will go to Wilson and
that % per. cent will 60 to Taft and q
like per cent to Roosevelt, with the
balance going to the other parties.
This means that Wilson will carry
practically every state in the union.
The above percentages applied to Ohio
on a basis Of million votes being
cast, means that Wilson will have the
enormous plurality In Ohio of 230, 900.
This seems incredible, but IL is what
the sentiment of the voters shows. II
u fell a hundred thousand short of
the figures mentioned Il would still be
enormous.
The situation In Knox county is no
different than elsewhere throughout
the country. People are the same the
country over-they reason along the
same lines and are influenced by the
same conditions. n the above per.
centages are applied to Knox county
on a basis of 5000 votes, which Is
about the voting strength Of the cOun-
ty, Il shows that Wilson will have a
plurality In Knox county Of over 1900
and this would mean the election Of ev.
cry candidate on the Democratic coun-
ty ticket by very large majorities.
There IL no person who has made q
careful study Of the political situation
In Knox county but sees the election
Of the entire Democratic county ticket.
| There IL no "hOt air" In the above.
IL IL simply an analysis OF known con-
ditiOns and their application. While
tho probability Is that the result will
vindicate the percentages mentioned
above and that there will be a great
Democratic sweep. yet there Ia moth
ing In the existing conditions to war
rant Democrats In laying down" The
only thing to prevent the attainment
OF the result AZ mentioned above Is
over-conhdence on the part Of Demo
Gratis. an over-confidence that may keep
some away from the polls on the theO-
ry that their vote IL not necessary. Dis
miss from mind any feeling of over
confidence. and help swell the Demo
cratic vote. A victory Is much more
enjoyable to u person when he knows
that he helped bring II about.

believes right has the respect of everybody no matter
what may be thought Of the principles which he ties

A man may be radical Republican, an uncomproiis-
ing Democrat unHnching Bull Mooser, or anything
else, and he will be respected for his attitude.
1t is the who tries to carry water on both shou
s that loses the confidence and respect of the people,
This is as true in politics as in anything else.
The game of carrying water on both shoulders that
has been played in Knox county during this campaign and
which still being played had an equal before and
its like will probably never be again.
The candidates on the Opposition county ticket
positively decline to commit themselves to which of the
two political parties Bull Moose or Republican they be-
long to.
They seek the support of Republicans but decline to
sav they will vote for Taft.
They aim to get the votes of Bull Moosers but refuse
to proclaim themselves for Roosevelt.
What sort of is he who has no convictions or if
he has them is afraid to announce theme
1t is this indecision, this 'afradofhs shadow this
praccng of deception the voters of Knox county that
has "queered these county ticket candidates.
This is why Republicans will support the
Democratic candidates for county Office because as they
argue they would rather vote for the other side
knowing where they stand than for the candidates who
are playing hdeand-seek They don't want any gold
bricks
And similar expression is heard among Bull Moos-
ers. They are not taken with the confidence" game
And this "now-you-see-it-a nd-now youdont' play of
these candidates does not appeal to Democrats They
know where their party candidates sandthere is no

Who's Your Doctor?

choice, say between Drs A and B, and
DR.. A comes to you with the recon
mendation that he has been practicing
his profession for fifty years, that dur
ing that length of time he had two
cases just like yours and that in each
case the patient died from the treat
ment. DR.. B. says that he has treated
ten or twelve cases just like yours and
that in each instance the patient has
recovered. Do you believe there
would be any doubt in your mind at
ter considering these recommendations
as to which doctor you would employs
During the last fifty years the dem
ocratic party has been in power twice.
Each time it has run the country into
bankruptcy. Durin g this time the
Republican party has been In power
for forty years out of the fifty. Six
teen of these years are just last past.
During these forty two years the coun,
try has been prosperous. In view Of
such recommendation should there be
any doubt on election day as to where
your cross should go on the ballotH
Vote for a continuation of prosper

Mr. Voter when you go to marking
that ballot be guided not by your pre-
JUDGES. but by your best Judgment as
to what is best for the people of the
Northwest. This.is the kind of voting
you will always be proud of.
Remember that government by
the people unless the people take live
interest and cast their votes honestly
and intelligently is farce. DO not
contribute to this result, but go on the

ty as an American citizen by casting

that of going to the polls and casting
