The girls Of Chicago who organized
a club, whose members are pledged to
marry no man with an income of less
than $4,000 per year, evoked a retort
in kind from a subsequently formed
club of young men, pledged that In
cases where girl has been brought
up to need that income, the parents
responsible for that sort OF training
shall be called upon to furnish the
income, Sauce for the goose Is sauce
for the gander. But the probability Is
that when Cupid takes hand club

tricky pledges have In congress.

To All Who Vote This Year for the

You are about to choose sides. You
cannot choose upon the basis of what
parties have done in the past, be-
cause the present happens to be rad
ically unlike the past, particularly in
America. Conditinos have changed
SO fast within the last few years In
the United States that nothing re-
Imains the same that it was, either in
politics, in industry, or in trade.
Parties must deal with a new age
It is for that reason that parties
have of late seemed to he breaking
up and that their programs have be-
come confused Their old way of
looking at national questions does
not suit the matters they have to
deal with The Republican party is
going to pieces because it has used
| its power in the wrong way, and
those men who acknowledge the fact
have become insurgents The
Democratic party has seemed, once
land again, to break up into groups
because great varieties of opinion
We're to be found among those who
called themselves Democrats, and no
common responsibility for the present
conduct of the Federal government
has obliged them to draw together

the country. Your question, then,
comes to this: Which is freest to

classes of your fellow citizens?
First Take Care Of the Interests"
The Republican party has been in
practically complete control of the
Federal Government throughout the
greater part of the last fifty years,
and throughout that period 1.-The period
during which America was gaining
her growth and all her national
habits, it has followed one invaria-
BILE and consistent policy; it has fos-

labor of the country to build up
wealth. It's argument has been:

SIX COUNTIES GAVE HIM MORE
THAN ONE THIRD OF HIS
TOTAL VOTE.
ELECTION METHODS IN EACH OF
THESE COUNTIES HAVE
BEEN NOTORIOUS.
LITTLE IN PRIMARY RESULTS TO
MAKE HIM APPEAR PEo-
PIES CHOICE.

More than tWO-thirdS of the vote at
the primary election which resulted
in the nomination of the Republican
State ticket was cast in six counties,
while the remaining 40 counties cast
! less than a third of the vote. The
six counties in which the heavy vote
was cast are notorious for the cor
rupt methods employed at elections
and primaries, and in these counties
the largest majorities were given to
the Republican nominees.
Two things are apparent from the
results-first, that the nominees
were not named by the majority of
the Republicans in the State, but by
the comparatively few in the half
dozen counties mentioned; and sec
ondly that their nominations were
made by counties whose political
methods are known to be disreput-
able. 1t would seem that the candi-
dates have little claim on the voters
in the Republican party and none on
those of the Progressive or Demo-
cratic parties for support, in view
of the circumstances surrounding
their nomination.
The account of the primary, as
! given by the Huntington Advertiser
of June 10, last, is as follows:
The Vote by Counties.
In the Republican primary last
weeks the following total vote was
cast in the counties named:
Mercer ................ 4,014
Mcdowell -. :. -. -. 1884
Mingo ...7.....z.=...... 3,063
Fayette ............. 5,576
Kanawha ..........,.. 8,179
Cabell ..,............. 4,576
These six counties cost a total vote
of 1892 votes in the Republican
primary. There were less than
sixty thousand votes cast in the en-
tire state, SO that six counties, in
most of which election methods are
notorious, east more than one-half
the total vote. The remaining forty
nine counties cast but little more
than one-third of the total vote.
But there are other things that are
interesting in this connection.
The highest vote ever cast in any
of these counties for Republican
candidate for governor was in 1908.

gubernatorial candidate was as fol-

promoter. To sit at the ringside
and watch some husky rufian
hammering $4,000 worth Of your
property would be, to say the
least, narrowing.
Should Kilbane have fallen into
i'll health, broken an arm, or suf-
fered any other accident, or
should some reform stop boxing
in California, McCarey would
have had the distinction of burn
ing up $4,000 for nothing. But
this offer is in keeping with some
of the other gambling stunts of
McCarey.
1t wasn't so many years ago
that McCarey was driving a laun-
dry delivery wagon on the streets
of Los Angeles. He was doing
we'll. Then came the first nom
nation of Billy Bryan for the
presidency. tMcCarey thought
Bryan sure winner, but his sup
ply of cash was limited. After it
had been exhausted he went
around to his different customers
and bet them their laundry bills
for the next few months.
Barber shops, hotels and room
ing house proprietors took him
up on a proposition of either pay
ing double for their laundry in
case Bryan was elected or paying
nothing for it if he lost. Bryan
was licked and McCarey went
broke.

quite fat chunk from his fight
promoting.
McCarey will gamble on any
thing. He is equally willing to
flop the dice for $50 or $500 or
back long shot in a horse race.
Several years ago he thought he
knew something of horse racing.
He went into the bookmaking
business and inside of two weeks
he discovered that he knew moth
ing about it and was $4,000 to
the bad. Ehat cured him. He is
conservative gambler, but sal
ways willing to meet you half
way in any proposition in which
he may think he has chance.
That's Tom McCarey, the only
man to offer a worlds champion
a salary for his services. Person
ally McCarey is. a quiet individ-
ual, who never smokes or swears
and rarely takes a drink. He is
happier when home playing-with

The soil for cabbages should be as

Prof. Massey's Views

opinion is that on some strong soils
and in a late growing season top
ping may be useful, while in a diff
ferent season and a dry on there
be no benefit from it. And
there are. unfortunately, thousands
Of acres that never need topping,
but would be improved by growing
larger stalks through better farm
ing.
In a good rotation of crops corn
will usually follow cotton and
every effort should be made to
have the cotton land left with a
stand Of crimson clover on it. 1t
will be too early to SOW this at
laying-by the crop as a rule, but
there are seasons when it may be
sown that early and a stand Sc
cured, and if this sowing fails
there is still time to make another
about the first or second picking,
While if the early sowing succeeds
there will be a far better growth
than from the later sowing.
Years ago | saw a South Caro-
lima farmer hauling out manure in
August and spreading it between
the cotton rows, That manure
probably did not do a great
amount Of good to the cotton crop
but it made a wonderful stand Of
clover and was far better out on
the land than burning up in the
cattle-pen.
Keep the manure cleaned away
all summer and you will have
fewer flies around the house. and
after the crops are laid-by and be
fore contemplating comes on with
a rush, get all the embarrassing
needed done to your out-buildings.
If all Of ones out-bulldings shine
with whitewash. the whole place
will look more cheerful and the
buildings will last better.
