REPUBLICAN STILL HUNT.
Effort to Catch Careless Dem
ocrats Mapping in this Con-
Rressional District.

From several parts of our district
comes the suggestion that the Re-
publicans will adopt again this year
their tactics of quietly stirring up
their voters with the argument that
the Democrats are over-conhdent
and will not 60 to the polls. As an
indication Of how this is done we
give the following circular which
was sent out by the thousands two
years ago, the committee being very
careful that not a single copy got
into the hands of the Democrats:

FREE FAIR NEXT WEEK.
Large Crowds and Good Exhibit
Expected.

All signs indicate that there will
be big times in Harrison next FRI
day and Saturday on the occasion
Of the Agricultural, Horticultural
and Stock Exhibit and the County
School Fair.
Our farmers, stock men and fruit
men all have products to be proud
of this year and very many have in
dicated their intention to be on
hand.
Lecturers and experts have been
promised by the state and govern
ment, who will add some features to
the event both interesting and valu-
able.
1t is the ambition of the commit
tee to have a creditablc fair, lacking
only in the racing, the fake attrac-
lions and the charges at the gate.
Everything will be free, and in the
h ands of the farmers, who should be
the most interested ones
Due to the fact that he wishes to
be an exhibitor, Dr. Carl Finch has
resigned as superintendent Of the
StocI; Department, and his place

LICAN VOTE.


Dear Sir;
"The above figures show that it is
not only possible but an absolute
cinch' to elect our nominee for Con-
gress by just a little effort on the
part of leading Republicans in each
township, and from the reports we
have received from the different
parts Of the district the victory is
assured if the Republican workers
continue TO use their efforts until the
polls close on the Sth but remember
there are 249 townships in the dis
trict, and therefore if there should
be an average Of ten Republicans
lay out in each township it means a
loss of ., 400 votes to our candidate.
Don't let the ten or any part thereof
lay but in your township,
"Pay no attention 70 the report in
the Democratic papers that Floyd
has no opposition, nor to any other
campaign lie Grangcr'S name is on
the ticket, The battle is won and

precinct and if he is the right kind of
a Republican he will 60 to the polls

THE GOVERNOR LAYS
DOWN HIS HAND

On Tuesday Commissioner Nor.
cross made q ibold intimation over
his Official signature that there
was a lot Of rottenness in the
offices Of democratic officials and
that they would get all the prob
ing they wanted.
The democrats were ready and
anxious to probe the expense &C.
cout of all public officials. irres
pective of their party utilization.
Senator Mack, who is very close
to the Governor, made a speech ir
he senate which showed that he
realized that the raw bluff made by
Nvrcross was about to be called
when he said that the time was toe
short to make any Investigations.
ETC., etc. The senate and the
lobby smiled, and any one with
half an eye could see that the
administration was paving the way
to fall in some easy place.
Well, yesterday morning the
administration laid down its weak
hand by sending message to the
legislature in answer to one cal.
ling on him to allrw complete
examinationsof the records of the
state. He merely stated in term.
that he had no more business fol
the legislature.
This leaves the republican party
in nice hole. Norcross, hi:
confidential advisor, with a big
blare of wind, informs the puklit
that the administration is ready t.
probe all kinds Of official extrava'
gance and intimated that the
democrats would get decidedly
the worst of it. The democratic
party promptly called the bluff by
resolution passed by the demo.
cratic senate. So. 49, ...
They threw the door wide open
for the investigation and the Gov

STORK BREAKS UP CARD CLUB

The stork has broken up the

nois, by depositing with seven Of
the members little houShold
articles called babies. The baby
is not novelty or 4 labor saving
device. On the contrary it il an
old and established institution. a
multiplier Of labor, q source of
considerable expense, and n it
Crews older. the melting cause of
numberless anxieties.
1t is curious paradox, however,
that notwithstanding all the draw
backs, it is generally welcomed
IN the home and comes to be re-
garded with even more affection
than anything else in the domestic
equipment. Indeed, were it not
for the sense Of joy and com fort
afforded families by the baby,
most of them would fall apart like
houses of cards. All Of which
makes it clear why the with
drawals from the Elgin Five hun
