same Old Story.

The disreputable Democratic gangs
mouthpiece vainly attempts to hold
out the idea that that discred-
tied bunch consists of men VINO
would give Clanksburg ideal govern
ment That ideal government" OF
course is measured by the gang
own selsh ideas.
1T is the same old siren song on
the part of that bunch. 1T Is sung
every city campaign. The stale song,
however, never carries any melody
for that gang on elecr.on day. Tne
people always repudiate the gang
sters at the polls, and there Will Do
no exception to the rule this year.
The Democratic ticket is of the
same type it has always been, one
that does not appeal to the people
of a live city such as Clarksburg IS.
1t e backed by the same gang of pol
iticians. Nothing new is offered IN
policy and there Is no change in the
line OF campaign, except that the
gang has made a change in its edl-
torial turnkey.
For many years the campaign cry
on the part of the Democratic gang
has been that those in power are
corrupt simply because they are IN
power, and that gang which Is out OF
power and not going to to get In has
ever set up the claim that It is per-
feet and really should be given
power. But it is fact that the peo-
pie have never had any condence IN
its pretense and it always meets de-
feat at the polls. At times 1t shows
such lack of confidence in itself that
it hides behind alleged citizens
movements and then tries to make
the public believe that all
men good and true are in the move
ment. Even then it fails.
This year the special reason ad-
vanced for support is that the gang
is Democratic, and the Tyler county
man has wrought his great men
tality' up to the point where there
can he no Righteousness. civic con-
science or patriotism outside of the
circle of Democratic gangsters and
Their henchmen. 1T is the same old
story and it is being listened to In
the same old way.

A controversy or discussion IS al
ways interesting. and when this dif-
Kefence Of opinion Is between strong
men & % doubIy interesting. te
seems from late reports that DR.. John
Lee Coulter OF the United States Cen
sus Bureau Washington y. c. and
Mr.. Harry Hodgson, Secretary and
Treasurer of4he Empire State ChemI-
sal Sorinzny Of. Athens. Ga, do not
agree as to what is best for the farm
Ier In cooperation. Last year at the
conference Of Farmers and Business
Mem at Richmond, Va. debate was
precipitated which was NOT on the
iprogram So much interest centered
around this debate that the officers vf
the conference. decided that II should
take n prominent place on tns pro
gram this year when the conference
meets at Louisville, KY, April q, 3,

prepared on the topic of cooperation
DIR. Coulter has lately returned from
q trip abroad as Secretary OF the
American Commission, which had for
its work q frst-hand study OF rural
credits and cooperation. DuTtng this
trip he had ample opportunity to see
what a great number of the most
modern European nations were doing
for the farmer. He has also been al
the head of the Agricultural Depart
ment and has written standard books
ion the subject of rural cooperation
Mr.. Hodgson is a very busy busl-
ness man and as Secretary of the
company which handles business Of
Eve hundred thousand dollars annual
", knows something of rurai credit.
That he is a student and a close ssu-
dent of rural life, is shown by the fact
that he has been a member OF this
Conference for Farmers and Business
Men for some time and also the sec
rotary of the Business Mems Section.
While quite young man, he gradual
ed from the University of Georgia,
and has since served on one of the
executive committees of that seat Of
learning.
With these two men and the farm
ers and business men in attendance
at the conference lined up behind
them, it seems certain that this sub
ject will receive thorough thresh-
ing out. 1t is the hope of the confer
ence that some very definite platform
can be outlined as the outcome of this
debate between strong men.

sbeet that the fifteen Democratic
com comm missioners. clerks and challengers
who Who viii assist in holding the cleo,
