like many another sincere Democrat he

WORD TO DEMOCRATS

Democrats of Mercer County, it is NJ
to you to stand by your colors. Yor
have been contending for progressive
principles in the national life, and while
the party has been out of power the just
ness of the Democratic position has been
so strong and tuned so true that its pro-
posals have been forced by public opinion
upon Republican administrations and al
most all of them made the law of the
land.
Mr.. Roosevelt has taken the Demo-
cratic ground, so long occupied by the
party led by Mr.. Bryan, and it is on his
pleas for genuine democracy and more
power for the people, such as has been
proclaimed by Mr.. Bryan for the past
sixteen years, that he has been able to
virtually unhorse President Taft and
turn the party of Mark Hanna into hos
tile groups, one standpat and one prog
ressive.
AS Mr.. Bryan has frequently asserted,
these proposals, long frowned upon,
have been made respectable by Repub-
lican adoption. Why repudiate them2
And with victory in plain sight, why
turn the party over to the Judases within
its ranks and to those who mistrust the
people and eternally proclaim, secretly if
not openly, that they need the strong
hand of a ruling class to keep them from
harming themselves, and so stop the
march toward further progress?
Those who plotted against the Demo
cratic party in 1896 and tried to turn it
over to the money changers are still on
the job Every recurring presidential
year the party is confronted with the
same selfish, grasping interests. And
it will continue beyond our time. As
long as special privilege exists, the peo-
pie must fight.
The special interests need the Demo
cratic party to make their privileges Sc
cure and get more. They don't want to
control the Republican party alone. They
fear the people may slip into power
through the Democratic party. There
are standpatters and progressive in the
Democratic ranks as we'll as in the Re-
publican party, and this is the reason for
THE DEMOCRAT appeal to you to stand
by your guns at the present time and all
the time.
You have the opportunity next Tues
day, because public sentiment demanded
it, of choosing between progress and
standpatism in national affair Two sets
of delegates, representing different and
views. One would give the
people more power to control their own
destinies the other would curtai1 them
with checks and balances and precedent.
1t is fortunate for the people of the
state and the nation that Ohio had con-
stitutional convention this year, result
ing as it did in a showing of hands of
men of national prominence hoping to
gain power in the government 1t was
by this means the real position of Cover
nor Harmon on popular government

COURT MATTERS

The grand Jury, in session last week, re-
ported to Judge Mathers last Friday after
noon. In their report they commended
the action Of the Commissioners In Offer
ing reward for the murderer or murder
ers Of David Beery. and approved the Of
forts OF the officers to hunt down the per-
petrators OF the crime, which, however,
remains as deep mystery as the night his
mutilated body was accidentally stumbled
upon In the station at the Nlckerson club
house.
Thirty-fve witnesses, covering thirteen
cases, were examined by the grand Jury.
Eight true bills were returned and three
| cases ignored.
The indictments returned are as follows:
Jacob A. Deitrick, OF Cellnn, unlawfully
living in state OF fornication with one
Mary Newman.
Henry Vogel. OF FIT. Recovery. assaultlng
Herman Gerdes.
Myrtle Tullls, of CelinA, assaulting Alice
Flanders.
Harry L. Means, of Oelina, assaultlng
Fred Harms.
clifford McKissick. Jesse Mowery and
Oscar Henkel, all OF Rockford. breaking
into n chicken coop and stealing chickens.
Albert j. Schanelt,.of Cincinnati, failure
to provide for minor children. This In
dictment came under rather peculiar cir
cumstances. Judge Matthias was hearing
the divorce case Of Catherine Scha1elt,
daughter OF Mayor Geo. Vandenbosch, OF
Burkettsviile, against her husband, Albert
j. Schaffelt, when the testimony brought
out the fact that the defendant had not
been providing for his minor children.
Judge Mathers at once brought the matter
to the attention Of the grand jury and the
witnesses I'm the divorce case were turned
over to the grand jury, resulting in the in
dictment being returned against Schaffelt.
