These men could not have been
nominated In the recent state pri-
maries, bad as these primaries
were, only that many OF the up
state Democratic organizations
have become completely subject to
the will Of Charles F. Murphy.
In Wilson's Name.
Proof of this statement by me
was broadly shown in the last Ma
tional Democratic Convention by
Mr.. Murphys opposition TO Mr..
Woodrow Wilson. His disgraceful
control of the New York State
delegation YVES there scathingly re-
buked by William J. Bryan. His
similar control of the New York
Legislature last year put n regular
~ elected Governor out of Office.
We now hear in every town and
hamlet Of the state how Mr.. Muir
phys candidates, from the Gov
ernor down, regard the national
Democratic administration as
glorious political asset. This is
hp-serviee. framed only to delude
those voters who ordinarily would
have nothing to do with Murphy
made ticket IL is an attempt TO
win success by getting within the
shadow OF great nRme.
In your case, and. indeed, in the
cases of other Republican candi-
dates, the effort by certain Demo
Gratis to have graft and decency
linked in a common purpose is
fairly sure to meet defeat. How
the fortunes of the national De-
mocracy are at all concerned with
the fate that may befall the Muir
phyized state organization l cannot
see, unless this new harmony doc
trine means that political oppor-
tuuity, in a party sense. must over
ride the moral obligation of the
eleetor to punish unfaithful public
servants.
The nomination of a Sohmer and
a Bensel, not to so any further,
proves that you cannot get de-
cency in the Democratic state or
ganizatiop until conscience Demo
Gratis have smashed it to the point
where the present leadership will
be destroyed. A vote for you is
vote TO take Mr.. Murphy's hold
from the threats Of New York Dem
ocrats.

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1914-10-02

Candidates for office are numer-
Gus these days and the campaign
in certain sections is becoming
strenuous. 1t is said that two we'll
known candidates were canvassing
the country few days ago. Both
happened on the same road a short
distance apart. The hindmost one
called at a certain house, when a
bright little girl came to the door.
Sissy, will you please bring me
drink of water?" which she did
quickly. Then he gave her some
candy and said, Did the man just
ahead of me give you candy?"
Yes sir" Then he gave her a
nickle and said, Did he give you
money!" Yves sir, he gave me
ten cents Then picking her up
he kissed her and said, Did he
kiss your" Yes sir, and he kiss
ed ma too"

and preacher that either was highly
respected and a sedate citizen of this
burgh.
Next somebody wanted to talk
to John Smith of Minneapolis.
He did not know the number of his
telephone or where he lived. The
only clew we had was a general
description of Smith including the
statement that he talked with lisp
and had a mole on his right knee.
In the first place we didn't know
how to call Minneapolis so we
jumped in on any line that was
convenient. Fargo seemed to be
talking to Des Moines. We tried
another and found Chicago squeal-
at St. Cloud.
Finally Minneapolis appeared i,
took the call, located the right
Smith and had 'em chattering away
pleasantly at the rate of ten cents
second or whereabouts.
Then an alarm of fire was tele-
phoned in. We didn't know the
number of the fire department, so
in our haste, notified the Methodist
church, two meat markets and the
police court of the fire before the
volunteer home defenders were
appraised of the confagration in
progress.
AS the evening drew on the
excitement waned, and little went
over the wires except circumspect
married men making dates and
discreet married ladies arranging
for accidental meetings.
We sat at the switch board all
night, saw the sun squint down
main street in the early morning,
heard the folks calling the depot to
see how late the trains were and if
they would stop at all going
through town, heard the sleepy
night operators in other towns
leaving for home. That was our
experience in the task of being

THE Prison Mirror, the best
paper published in any of the state
institutions in the u. S. has new
editor, the one holding the position
for the past year having been par
doned. 1t is commendable fact
that every man at the head of the
paper has been pardoned by the
board and the excellent paper is at
times hard put for ar editor.
Here's hoping that the new man
will not fall down on the precedent
established and that shortly he
will also get his. An EDITORS job
is combining at any old time and
especially when being editor of the
Mirror and he should not be
tied down to the desk in a stuffy
old Office especially during the
hunting season when partridge and
ducks are plump and the short
handled frying pan is rusting from
disuse.

HELLO CENTRAL! GIVE
ME H.

Naturally everybody at some time
or another becomes exasperated
with central and feels like tear
ing loose with wild and fervent
cussing. Sometimes it's the fault
of circumstances and often the
blame is really your own.
For many years we have tried to
be patient in the face of many tele-
phonic experiences for the simple
reason that we once had a little ex-
perience as central" and have
never forgotten it.
1t happened when the exchange
was small one. There was one
night operator, two day operators
and one manager. One evening
the whole outfit happened to be i'll
or out of town on a visit at the
same time. No one remained who
could act as operator that night
Of course we offered to help out.
1t was fool offer to make and a
ridiculous offer to accept but at six
O'Clock that night we were perched
on stool in front of a switch
board with steel bonnet on our
head, plug in each hand and our
eyes fixed expectently on the drops.
A preacher and a lawyer both
rang in at the same time. One of
them for one livery stable and one
wanted the other. By sad mis-
chance we connected up the
preacher and lawyer and handed
the two livery stables to one
another.
The rattle and snort of verbal
conflict could be plainly heard over
one line md we would never sus-
pect from the brands of converse
ton romping between the lawyer

LUKE MCLUKE SAYS

Maybe the reason why a woman
is never contented is because con-
tentment makes people fat.
Lots of married couples imagine
they are living together when they
are merely putting up with each
other.
The female whose family consists
of a poodle and fern never forgets
the date of Mothers Day. But
about the only date the mother OF
five or six children can remember is
Wash Day.
After a man takes a day off and
tries to follow his own advice he
isn't surprised that other people
never pay any attention to what
he says.
The sort of woman who has to
carry revolver to protect her
Personal Honor usually hash I
much to protect.
