q this district, is fully competent
to not only fill the position Of Unit

With distinction. as WELL, has BEN
pretty generally conceded by men CT
sil political faiths of the 7th District,

treely sought by the leaders OF botl
the House and Senate and has beel
accepted by them as authority il

complish far greater and better n
suits fog the people Of the state tina

tives in Illinois. A nephew, Adam
Ref and wife and two children. ac.
companied him home for a visit and
a good joke is told In connection
with the latter. When Jim reached
home he called his brother, Noah.
up ON the phone, and upon the lat
ters inquiry as to how he got out
nome replied, In an auto, of course.
You don't suppose | would let my
wife walk, do you?p And then was
when the guessing started. II was
nosed around the neighborhood that
Jim had brought a wife back with
him, and the neighbors proceeded
to get up charivari party in his
honor. Noah had been over to see
his brother, but he kept quiet and
let the fellows make their plans and
accompanied the crowd over to Jim p
one evening and assisted them in
their noise making. OF course they
We're invited into the house and az.
Ter they had gotten tired Of waiting
lof Jim to say something appropriate

was becoming somewhat strained On
account Of his failure to do so and
all Of them were too bashful to aO.
lproach the subject, Mr.. Ref cane in
TO the room and was introduced and
then the joke was told. On their
entrance into the house Jim had in
troduced the crowd to a young won.
an, but they were too nervous tc
remember what he had called her
and as there was two strange young
children in the house, they fe,i %
the conclusion that Jim had married
young widow. The crowd is keen.
ing mighty quiet about their mistake
but the story leaked out anyway.

NN'ANN AOiUIl'O W LHO hlHN VI PNN
pie who are sent to represent tn ir
constituents at Washington:
Next November the people will
elect new House of Represntativ--
es and one third Of the Senate, and
it is of the highest Importance that
tie Democrats should be successful
in this election. When the new con.
gress convenes the President will
have completed half Of his term and
it would be a severe disappointment
70 him to have to work with a Re
publican congress during the second
half. Defeat for the party would not
only prevent the enactment Of re
medal measures, but it would raise a
presumption against the administra-
ton and greatly weaken the party
for tile presidential campaign Of 1916.
It behooves every Democrat, ther :
fore, to bastr himself and contribute
his mite toward the winning of a vic.
tory.
How can it be done? First by the
selection of good Democrats as cam
didates. Records should be scruti.
nized, and the tendencies of aspir--
ants inquired into. A distinction
should be drawn between the man
who does right because he wants to
and the man who does right simply
because he thinks he has to. The
man who has to be coerced into the
doing of that which is right is an
uncertain quantity at best and sub
tracts from the energy Of the party,
because part of the energy Of
those who are reliable has to be
ell ployed in the persuasion of those
who would otherwise go as ray. No
man has any claim upon a public of-
flee except on the theory that he
can do better than anyone else the
work that the people want done and
something more than ability is re-.
Quiled to do the peoples work.
In this land, where we are ap.
proaching more and more toward un-
livers@ education, it is not likely that
a public man will lack intelligence
1t is much more difficult to deter
mine a mans fundamental bias than
it is to measure his intellectual abil.
Iity. "As a man thinketh in his
heart so is he'-the heart needs tC
be examined into as we'll as the head
Is the man in sympathy with tht
/ mass of the people who demand pro
lection of their rights? Or is he ID
: sympathy with the few who clamoi
: for privilege? And, If in sympath!
: with the people, is he lncorruptible'
D Is he proof against temptations tha
one has to resist when he deals witt
s large affairs? Has he the mora
y courage to stand alone, if need be
g in the defense Of the right, or 1
: he atraid?. The conscientious man
whose heart is on the peoples side
can be trusted to deal with ques
ticnF as they arise; no other MAJ
should be considered.
ii The Democrats are now in powe
not only in the nation but largel,
| throughout the states. This dom
| mating position can only be retaine,
lby the election of men who meaeur
up to- the responsibilities impose,
BY success. Let each Democrat d.
his duty and use his influence to
wards the selection of those VIII
can be trusted. The President ha
! done his part nobly, now let the pal
ty stand By him and uphold his hand
BY sending to the Senate and tn,
House of Representatives, those upul
whom he can rely for assistance i,
embodying Democratic principles int
legislation"
