The letter insists that gamblers are

Careful search by the police failed

Jefferson Not an Aristocrat.
MANY have assumed that only the
unutterably poor and those sinking
into that class were Democrats, and
that the UNNECESSARILY rich and the
climbers were Republicans. But these
divisions have not been logical. 1t
was not the outward and visible
which marked the inward and spirit
ual life of Thomas Jefferson. Born. of
the bluest blood in the Old Dominion
and accustomed as gentleman, schol-
ar, diplomat and statesman to all the
luxuries of his generation he was the
nan who declared that all men were
created equal and hat all were en-
dowed with certain ~inalienable rights
such as life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness. Even to his dying hour
this seeming aristocrat had not a
single heart throb which was not in
unison with the heart throbs of his
fellowmen.
Il now declare that so per cent. Of

son. This campaign is going to rid
the Democratic party of every man
who does not believe in it's princi-
pies and is going to add to the party's
ranks, I hope, every man who does
believe in them.
THE protest of every man who
voted for President Taft and who is
now dissatisfied with the Presidents
management of public affairs proves
that for four years a minority has
been the majority in America. AT

$15,OOO,O 900 BATTLESHIP
MAY BE IMPRACTICABLE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-Naval ex-
perts are of the opinion that with
the SIS, 900, 900 provided in the naval
appropriation bill for a monster bat
tleship for the navy, little a be
done in the present stage of the art
of naval construction beyond the pro-
duction of a vessel of the type of the
oklahoma, of $4,000 tons, now build
ing.
The limitations imposed by the
Panama canal prevent the increase
of the ships beam, and the depth of
water in American harbors limits the
ships draft to about the dimensions
of the Oklahoma. Perhaps a hundred
feet might be added to the length,
largely increasing the coal capacity
and making possible a great increase
in speed.
