FRIDAY JrLllu. 1914.

The political tight is on in old
Mcdowell county. The great
center around which the battle
Is being fought is for circuit
clerk. Mr.. Payne is the clerk To
day. while Mr.. Gray is asking
the voters to give him the posi-
ton. Gray has the compliment
OF being the first contestant for
this office against Mr.. Payne i'm
- years Tie has strong fol-
lowing. Political connitions are
not as they used 10 be. and the
outcome OF this fight will mean
much To the strength or weak
ness of the Grand Old Repub
iican party. Voters ought TO be
encouraged to return rather
than leave the party. And il by
putting new faces in some OF the
positions to be filed in this coun
W Will help, as our watchless
Governor has so wisely said
and as the voters so intelligent

put In new faces and save the
party. The party is bigger than
any one man and it's principles
are bigger than the party itself.
NO malice must CONTROL in this
family row and enmity must not

election. We are all good Re
puollcans. The fight is on. Those
that are young must govern man

worlds law givers and its dis
pensers Of justice. 1t is they
who are to meet the unseen ex
lgences of the great future. You

tency In these days of practical
usefulness and needs of strong
minded public service. Boys.

There isn't but one scrap in this
county and that is over the cir

Gray wins, so we'll and good. n

POLITICAL OUTLOOK

O6tstOtte OOs6OOh
These are the days in which
Democracy is making a despe-
rate assault upon the breast
works of fate. The beautiful
theories OfPresident Wilson have
thus far proven tibet they are
too sublime for this material age
We have not yet reached that ex
allied height of spiritual develop
ment whence we can look down
upon poverty and misery with
sovereign contempt. At stated
times we are fOrcibly reminded
that we have aching vOids in our
abdominal regions which cay,
food, and no magician 5 wand has
been furnished Us by our spirit
ualistic President by which the
necessaries of life can be pro-
yided by the mere touching of
the mystic piece. AS ali signs
fail in a drought, so have all the
splendid Democratic theories 81
far failed to bring the prosperity
so earnestly prayed for by u
all.
Now as the fall election ap
prOaches. the Democratic party
is feverlshly praying that strife
between the Progressives and
Republicans will save that party
OF lll-omen from the deseat i'm
the congressional contest which
1t knows is its due. The best
hope of the Democratic party
failed when the Underwood
Simmons tariff law failed TO do
aught out to make business de
preston and personal want stalk
more arrogantly through the
land. Neither the new currency
law nor the proposed trust meas
ures will do nothing but encum-
Der the statute books and count
as so many more grayestones in
the burial ground of Democratic
hopes and promises. Rut, enough
OF the dark and seamy side,
We are persuaded that the
Ratchet has been forever buried
between the voters of the Pro-
gressive and Republican parties.
and that the few flashes of un
pleasantness now appearing are
coming from selfish leaders
whose advice will not be follow
ed. The majority OF the electors
are going TO vote the Republican
ticket IN NOvemb Der and leave ali
self seeking leaders who advise
otherwise To share with Mr..
Wilson his psychological d reams
The desire Of tho people to
crush the Democratic party is So
strong that it will serve TO defeat
Democratic aspirations even in
the election Of county officials
The Democratic party will be
defeated in NOvem Der and there
by prevented from doing any
more damage land any more will
&c more than we can bear until
the next presidential election.
when the Republican party will
bring back the golden fleece"
OF prosperity from the grave of
the imps where it has been borne
not as the covering Of a golden
ram. but a. the hide Of the Dem
Ocratic donkey.

WHERE TO LOOK
FOR TROUBLE

representative Mann, Republican
leader of the huuse thinks he wants
to fight the canal tolls issue all
over sgain at the polls, but nc will
reconsider and repent. Although
there are some parts of the United
States where ship subsidies might
carry an election now and then they
are not to be found in that section
of the continent which is politically
responsible for James X. Mann.
When the Republican party was
Hannaized in 1896, some Of It's
leaders thought il would stand for
everything in the line of monopoly
privilege and hounties. but it would
not. 1t drew the line at ship sub
sides, largely through the votes of
western congressman. The fact
hat the subsidy idea appears this
time in the guisc Of treaty break
ing jinsoism will not give it in
creased popularity.
If MIR. Mann wants to know
where the next subsidy fights will
appear we will tell him. They will
break out in every Democratic con-
yenhon from now until 1916 in
which anybody ventures to defend
the men who by q trick at Balti-
more committed the party to a sub
sidy and who have since then had
the cheek to uphold il ms Demo-
cratic doctrine. That is where the
fur will fly New York World.
