Fer President Of tEae United States:
OSCAR UNDERWOOD,
OF Alabama.
The Strongest Mann The Republic
cans Cam Name, Is Frank
Hitchcock.

RY all Odds the strongest Republican in
America IS the Postmaster General
In the first place, he is a polished gentle
man, whose record, public and private, is
without blemish.
In the second place, he wiped out the
chronic deficit, in the ?. O. Department.
In the third place, he favors progressive
legislation. In proof of this he can cite the
Postal Banks, already established; and the
which he advocated, IN defiance Of President
Toft's di8oppro0aZ. He could also cite his
position, as to the Parcels Post
Again, he has very greatly extended the
r. +. d. service; and he favored the increase
of the pay of the mail carriers. Therefore,
he has earned the gratitude of the country
people.
IL has nevev been majced ZIP in scandal.
BOTH ROOSEVELT AND TAFT HAVE
BEEN MIXED UP Nv ,SETERAL-and
very ugly ones at that.
# Hitchcoch has e0er told the public any
lees, the public has not fouqed it ont.
BOTH ROOSEVELT AND TAFT
HAVE TOLD TIE PUBLIC MANY
LIES, AND THE PUBLIC HAS FOUND
IT OUT. Nobody will believe the unsup-
pord word of either Roosevelt or Taft.
Everybody accepts the unsupported word of
Frank Hitchcock.
This competent and universally respected
Republican can poll more votes than any
other candidate his party could name.
He can beat Champ Clark he can beat
Harmon he can beat Woodrow Wilson: the
only Democrat that neither he, nor aray other
Republican, can defeat IS, OSCAR UNDER-
WOOD
And, if l were sport, I'd have one of my
favorite old mouse-colored mules brought in,
and / would bet her, against a handful of
chinquapins, that Hitchcock and Underwood
will be the nominees of their respective
parties.

Why is MIR. Bryan Working For
the Republican Party?
IF the Republicans of the South should
receive orders from Mr.. Taft to vote for
Woodrow Wilson, in the primaries, they
would do SO, and aoouzd thereby pledge thems-
sezves to cote for the Democratic nominee, IN
the regular election IN Novenaber That is so,
is it not? Just think it over, and tell me if

THAT He HAD SOLD OUT, TO THE

WOULDN'T YOU?
You would certainly have the right to
think So
Well, then, what about Bryan? lie Is maxi

CRATS TO ENTER THE REPUBLICAN

What has the Democratic party done to
Bryan, that he should deal it this Joab stab,
at the ve1y time thai the party has returned
to the principles Of Thomas Jefferson and
AndreaO Jackson?
What has the South done to Mr. Bryan
that he should dr+iUe q qUedge 6etqOevn her and
the agricultural Nest, at the very time when
THE VITAL INTERESTS OF THE TWO
ARE ABSOLUTELY IDENTICAL?
Did not the Democratic party throw down
the heroic Richard Bland of Missouri, and
make the young Illinoisan the official chief of
the Democratic hosts? Did he not leap into
tame and wealth, IN consequence of the politi-
cal skill of Charles F. Crisp. and the eloquence
of Henry G. Lewis-both Georgians?
Has he not led the South in the chains of
a willing servitude, ever since 1896? Has
he not compelled the South to pay him, IN
hard cash, for eNry speech that he. c0er'
delivered az Dirie?
And now, because Southern man aspires

What Is President Taft Writing
DO the Pope About?
IN the newspapers of last week there
appeared the following news-item, by
Associated Press
Rome, March 21.-The Pope received
to-day in private audience Mai. Archibald
Butt, personal aide to President Taft, who
presented to the Pontiff an autograph letter
from the President.
Ma or Butt is one of Mr.. Taft's confden-
tai men. When it was announced recently
that the Major was about to 90 to Europe,
some curiosity was aroused.
II an Army officer should be sent to the
Philippines, no one would think strange Of
it. IF an Army officer should be sent to
Panama, or to the Hawaiian Islands, or to
Alaska, our attention would not be drawn to
the fact with any particular interest
But aohem an A1my officer, on the payroll
Of the Government, IS sent TO EUROPE,
aoe are naturally surprised
We are represented in Europe by costly
diplomatic establishments. We have consuls,
ministers and ambassadors, at all the courts
We have official representatives in Italy and
in Rome itself
Why, then, does oar President detail an
Aamy officer to bear 4 SECRET MESSAGE
TO PAPA? What was in that private let
ter-an autograph letter which could not be
entrusted to the mails, and could not be
delivered by our minister, in Rome?
During that disgraceful episode, when the
y. 5. Government was knuckling to the
Romanist priesthood, in the matter of the
Philippine Islands, President Roosevelt conn.,
misss0ned Mr.. Taft, AS Special AMBAS-
SADOR TO THE POPE. The American
people were not allowed to know the truth
about it, any more than they were told the
truth about our connection with the Boer
war, or the present situation in Mexico.
But Roosevelt and Taft violated our Fed
eral Constitution by sending an ambassador
TO 4 CHURCH, just as thew violate # bv
receiving, in' Washington AN AMBASSI-
DOR FROM Il CHURCH.
And now we see that President Taft is I'M
to his old tricks, again. lie IS forueinq a
secret alliance acith q foreign church, which
church is moving heaven and earth to capture
our Government-after which our free insti-
buttons, freedom of conscience, and secular
education vo'll' 30 "emering.
If the Romanists of this country had
already established their threatened boycott
OF all newspapers which do not patronize
the Romanlst news-service, we would never
have learned that an officer of the u. S. Armv
was, sent as special envoy to the Pope to
deliver a personal and private letter.

Mr.. Mrs. and Miss Citizen:
Next Tuesday duty calls you to go to
the polls and express your desires as
to party and men. Duty calls upon
you to settle mighty questions that will
rule politically for the next four years.
The POWER of the BALLOT is in
your hands and it is well to weigh and
consider the party policies. The per-
sonar quarrels of Taft and Roosevelt
and Hodge and Hay have raised vast
quantity Of dust in the arena and some
say that the Democratic candidates,
Wilson in the nation and Lister in the
state, are going to run Off with the
plum trees during the excitement. Per-
haps they may, but. voters. it 10 not
the personal quarrel of this man or
that man that concerns you so much,
as Just whose man he is.
Who is putting up the tight, for
Taft, for Roosevelt and Wilson! Did
you directly help to pay the campaign
bills of either? II not. what right
have you to expect them to be your
servants? The same arguments hold

of either of the above mentioned par
ties? Not laboring man or woman
sat in either of the conventions.
At Indianapolis there met another
convention made up entirely of labor
ing men. 1t was possible for laboring
men and women to go all the way from
this state because a large number of
the laboring men had been paying dues
into fund for months in order that
the laboring class of this great coun-
try could hold q convention and NOM
mate men from their own class to run
for the Offices in the land. The great
capitalists of this country do not con-
tribute to the laboring class party.
They know that an intelligent working
class with a political party, whose cam
paign funds are put up by the laboring
class, is not for them. The capitalists
show considerably more sense than the
workers. for they boost their own
party. and as sure as you are alive. If
you men and women Of the laboring
class were as wide awake to your inter-
ests as are the big capitalists Of this
country. who are paying the bills for
the Republican, Democratic and Pro-
gressive campaigns are to their in

A Clever Ruse.

An inexperienced dry goods clerk
when showing some silks to a lady
was told that the price was too high.
The dissatisfaction of the customer
was noted by the owner of the store,
who Immediately came over to the
counter, and learning the fact thai
the lady was dissatisfied with the
price, he informed her that he had
just received telegram saying that
all the silk worms had died, and that
the price of silk was going up inn
mediately. This ruse effected a sale
and gave the new clerk an idea as
to the conduct of business in some
cases. Shortly afterward, he had a
similar experience with another lady,
who thought the price of tape too
high. He earnestly advised her to
purchase as he had just received a
telegram saying that all the tape
worms had suddenly died which
would result in a consequent raising
of the price of tape.

The Way They Live.

One of our good mothers went to
Minnesota to visit relatives. She
took with her her son Willie, in
whose breast the fear of the Lord
had been planted early in life. Willie
had tutor and never mingled with
the neighbours children. He did not
know a single cuss word. In the
evening of their arrival he held JOY
Gus conclave with the youngsters at
the home where they were visiting.
The next morning his mother saw
him over in the corner talking to
himself She listened and heard the
following: Hell, damn, gosh"-re-
peated several times with different
infections. Scandalized, she jerked
him forth by the ear and asked him
what he was doing. He said: RE
hearsing some damn good words,
which nobody ever heard of down
