Political Disaster to Republicans
Likened to Wreck of the Titanic

of the great majority of persons familiar
with the situation there is but one result
to this presidential contest, and that is
the sweeping victory of the Democratic
party.
Its opponents have contributed more to
this result than its friends were able to
do.
All that many Republican leaders are
now seeking or hoping to accomplish is
to save enough of the old organization
machinery control to prevent the Nation
al Progressive party from absorbing in
future the remaining Republican
strength.
The situation in Ohio and Indiana in
this regard finds its counterpart in New
York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Vir-
ginia, in every state of all New England.
in Wisconsin and in every Western State
until the Pacific Coast line is reached.
1t is political disaster to the Republi
can party as complete as the wreck of the
Titanic was to the vessel, its officers, crew
and passengers.
Many people went to their fate with
the vessel knowing full well that their
only safety lay in the boats and the
life belts, and so now hundreds of thous-
ands of Republicans will go to the polls
on November to vote their old ticket
without a hope of success, without sim
gle chance to win, but will vote it to mark
their devotion to their party and its can
didates.

INSPIRATION FOR A LITTLE
J; ADDITIONAL HUSTLE

The Democratic County Executive
Committee will give the most energetic
and successful Central Committeeman of
the county, excluding the Celina pre-
cincts a reward for their labors that is
likely to stimulate the good work that
all are now doing so gratuitously, with
out the hope of reward more than to see
great Democratic victory all along the
line from Coroner to President.
There are three prizes for the three
committeeman showing the most success
full work in getting out the voters in their
respective precincts-a $40, $40 and IS
gold piece.
These prizes are offered to the, Central
Committeeman showing the largest net
gain in his precinct on the head of the
national, state and county tickets over
the respective offices at the last general
election when such. officers were chosen.

WILL HAVE TO
BUMP HIM AGAIN

Not satisfied with being repudiated by
the voters of Mercer County when he
was candidate for Probate Judge for a
second term, ex-Judge Younger thinks
he can worm himself into Office again
through the non-partisan judicial ballot,
that will allow him to pose as a Demo-
crat, Bull Mooser, standpat Republican
or any old thing, as the conditions of the
occasion, the time and the place demands.
Mr.. Younger is by all odds the smooth
est politician in the county, but like all
of his class they soon wear out and are
consigned to the rubbish pile with pol
iticians of less note. He will find next
Tuesday that the people of the county
have his measure-that Democrats have
had enough of him, that the Bull Moosers
look upon him with suspicion and the
remnants of the once glorious G. o. ?.
of which, to the casual observer he
seems to be the whole circus, regard him
as a chronic ailment that it would be
glad to get rid of.

OF REPUBLICANS
I'm Fight Against the Veteran Win
termute Is Only EquRIIed
by Their Hypocracy.

The Mercer County Observer, A. c. Z.
Gilberg chief cook and bottle washer, is
worrying about the old soldiers, as Il
does with regularity each year just be-
fore election, shedding copious tears for
fear the wicked Democrats will rob the
old civil war veterans of their pensions
and send them over the hills to the poor
house to spend their remaining days.
Just now il Is unable TO say a good
word for one of them-Dr. G.. ]. {. Win
termute, the Democratic candidate for
entative-though no man can say
that he Is not a good citizen and a square
man in every walk of life. To do so
would not serve its purpose.
The Doctor seen service with Uncle
Sam from 1862 TO 1865, going out with
Company {, 86th Regiment Owl, but
he is not out fighting the war over again,
because there is something more insid-
ious to combat these days, a foe that does
not fight fairly or in the open. The OBJ
server wall does not fool anybody, how
every, that knows its proclivities, unless
they are anxious TO be fooled.
The only thing the people are inter
ested in Just now between DR.. Winter

which is the freest 10 serve the people of
Mercer County in the Legislature. Dr.
Wintermute has been able to save some
thing from the long practice of his pro-
fession and is indebted to the people for
his success, although he has rendered
service in return. He is free to act for
the people. Unfortunate, Mr.. Harting
is not so situated. He has for several
years been employed by the Standard Oil
Company, serving it faithful and we'll,
for which no man can honestly find fault
with him. As a grateful man he cannot
but feel grateful to its management and
feel like promoting its enterprise. He
cannot serve it and the people to. The
Standard Oil Company is always at war
with the state government, seeking priv
ileges or trying 10 prevent some that it

Now, in all candor, Mr.. Voter, isn't
Mr.. Wintermute in the best position to

Seems Not to BE a Candidate
of a Party, but of a People
New York American

The West has take Woodrow Wilson tc
its heart. The scenes that have accom-
panied his recent progress-in Denver, in
Kansas City, in St. Louis, in Chicago
have hardly parallel inAmerican history.
He has seemed not to be the candidate OF
party, but of people.
In these great cities Mr.. Wilson has
been received in a spirit of holiday re-
ioicing-as if the electoral debate had
been closed. The throngs -unpreced-
ented in multitude-have not cared for
speechmaking, because they have needed
to be convinced.
Such signs of gathering social concord
suggest that the country is standing on
the threshold of a new area of good
feeling"
There has been more than enough of
rancor and bitterness i'll the convulsion
that has shattered the Republican party.
But the temper of the nation has recoil-
ed from all that The Democratic STAN
dard- bearer has gone abroad through the
land, without a word of malice on his
ongue-preaching gospel of polical re-
pentance and recovery of conciliation,
and construction, of contagious good hum
or and good cheer.
Woodow Wilson is bringing the nation
within sight of fair land of peace and
prosperity. With the passing of election
day we may expect to enter upon a new
and spacious time-a time in which we
shall be freer than this generation has ever
been from the waste and losses of party
strife and class struggle, and shall have
room and breadth to build the cities and
subdue the earth.
The fe1icitous period that is known i'll
history as the ERA of good feeling" was
ushered in by the electionof James Mon
roe to the Presidency in 1916. 1t was
preceded by the breakup of the FEEDER
alist party-even as the Republican has
now broken up.
Monroe had 1873 votes in the Electoral
College, while his Federalist opponent,
Rufus King, had only 34 -Four years
later Monroe was chosen again by nation
al acclamation in an Electoral College
that lacked only one vote of unanimity
The eight years of his administration
were all years of healing and mending-
party lines we're utterly effaced. The
people united in vast works of internal
improvement, i'll the state-making nigra-
tions into the new West, and in the lay
ing of the foundations of that stupendous
structure of industry and commerce
which was the world-wonder of the nine
teenth century,
We have come to the beginning of such
another time Not since the days OF
James Monroe has any man approached
a presidential election with such omens
of universal approval as those that now
attend the steps of Woodrow Wilson

Bryan's Panic Primer

Q.-"What did the Democrats have
to do with that panic?"
A.-"Nothing except that they suf-
fered from it in common with 9th
ers"
Q.-'Ts it possible that two of the
three panics came from Republican
presidents in control of both the SEN
ate and house?"
Ayes"
Q.-"Why do the Republican speak
ers ignore those two panics?"
A.-"Because it would destroy their
argument that Democrats are respon-
sible for panics."
Q-"Who was president when the
panic of 1898 came?"
A.-"Grover Cleveland"
Q-"To what party did he belong?"
A.-"He was elected by a Demo
cratic party in 1892, but helped to
elect a Republican to succeed him
self in 1896"
Q.-"How soon after his election
did the panic Gomez"
A.-"So soon that it came under
Republican laws, not single Repub-
lican tariff or monetary law having
been repealed before it came"
Q.-"Is it possible that only one of
the three panics came under Dem
ocratic PRESIDENT"
Ayes, only one Of the three"
Q.-"Why do the Republican speak
ers fail to tell us that the only panic
that came under a Democratic ad-
ministration came under Republican
laws?"
A.-"Because that would spoil their
argument; make their threat ridicu-
lous."
Q.-"Are the Republican leaders
ignorant or dishonest when they
threaten panics in case of Democratic
success?"
A.-"They are probably both"

1T is UP TO YOU

The fr9eborn citizen gets up when dew
Is on the grass
And sees himself reflected in a trust
made looking glass.
A trust controls the soap he finds at
length upon the stand.
And through the favor Of some trust he
takes his comb in hand,
His shoes, suapenders, shirt and socks.
the buttons on his coat,
RGis handkerchief his necktie and the col
lar round his throat
All came from factories that trusts per
NIT to operate;
A trust allows him to have coal to pile
upon the CRATE.
BY yielding to the sugar trust he makes
his coffee sweet;
By bowing to the beef trust he may have
a steak to eat;
The cracker trust, the -four trust the
coffee trust likewise,
Take tribute from the man who dwells
where freedoms banner flies.
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1912-11-01

He rises from the table which a trust
leaves in his care
And on the trust made hall tree finds
trust made hat to wear.
Now see the freeborn citizen upon the
trust owned car:
BY paying tribute he may ride to where
his duties are.
He sits before trust made desk-a trust
has said he may
And, being free and equal, he tolls for
the trust all day;
At night trust provides his light. and
when his prayers are said
The uncrowned king devoutly kneels be-
side a trust made bed.
Thus all his trusts bound up in trusts
that treat him as they please.
He lives through favor of the trusts; to
them he bends his knees
Ah let us trust that when he dies and
leaves this world of care
Some trust win watt him to the skies and
give hlru glory there

Open Your Minds to the Truth

while clothed with official power, nur-
tured privilege and fostered monopoly
and who now propose nothing better
than to legalize and regulate monopo-

of our lives?
Tho New Leader.
Or shall we call to leadership a new
man from the outside, from the ranks
Of the people, in sympathy with their
lives and their ideals, holding their
viewpoint, consecrated to their serv-
Ice? Such a man is Woodrow Wilson.
AS son Of the soldier who fought
to uphold the principles for which
Abraham Lincoln stood and as a son
of a Republican president, can see
only one duty for myself-to give
heartily my influence and my vote for
principle and not for the name of
party long since divorced from its SYM
pathy for the common man.
Verify, believe that the principles for
which Woodrow Wilson Is fighting arc
the principles for which my father
fought, and that no alone among the
presidential candidates measures up to
the standards of courage, conscience
and capacity of the leader whose hand
my father helped to uphold.
Old voters. as we'll as new. beg Of
you not to be deceived by names and
prejudices. Open your minds to tho
truth and vote In its light.
