PUBLIC OPINlON

To the Editor Of The Farmer:
 We freauently hear that the ordinary man has no concern in politics This. however. is absurd. because there is no man who should take a more ac- five interest in politics than the work l fngrnan. whose condition can only be improved by the honest operation Of politics and the equal aornln1sITaeion IS I1ie'll l Of the law. Therefore every ls-bpring man should arouse from his political i siumbers and exercise that imp peratiVe 1s7b1igat1on that he owes to himself and to his fellow men by electing to odice men whose propensfties and i sympathies are of an honest character and can always be found on the right side Of every legislative question.
 Now that the nonainations ara made for the various offices of city and slate and congress, one can readily see by scanning the tickets placed in nomination., who those are that VIII l 11e elected. We know that the app1t- l cation Of Democratic principles to the domestic affairs of this country will furnish all the ammunition nec- essary for honorable political war fare and we Will not need to avail ourselves of the Bushman's poasone ed arrow of the redskins anbuscade which has been indu1ged in by the I adversaries of that great and noble man. woodrow Wilson, the greatest president that ever reigned at the head of this great Republic.
 This, then, is in striking eontra-dis- ttinction to the attitude of the RepubH- trusted them election after election until two years ago, when they fully Irealized that the Republican party was Inc longer competent to manage the ladafrs of this country, neither by hon. lest conduct nor legislative ability, and
 
 iof the government
 Since that time islander and caiunnny have been heaped upon the president flor no other reason than to weaken lfhe confidence of the American people in his administration; thus hoping thai ithe holy apostles of the Republican creed would be returned to office. But alas, their race is run for there is written on the political horizon ir large letters words of unmistakable Ineanfng-Repub1ican Political Death from which there is no resurrection.
 Cur opponents realize that the presi- dent is rapidly embarking into the af. fections and confidence of the people and in their madness and deHrium are bombarding the president with destroy the Democratic party by con. stantly seeking some fuIcrum upor which to pofse their faI1aeious argu. snent for political expediency
 Our beloved President will trium rplaantIy emerge from the avalanch, Of svituperation which has so xnerci 1ess1y been hurled at him by the ho1. Republican apostles, who are so hllet with the inocu1ation virus of office holding and by ambitions that cal only be gratified by being elected t. of1ce, that they are carried beyond tn realms of sanity, and are preparin, themselves for place to which non but imbeciles are sent.
 The people Of this country have beel taking Republican medicine for tn past 62 years with a little infusion o MDugwumpism. One year age the peo pie changed doctors and since tha time these physical disturbances hay been abated and if the treatment i continued the people will be restore to that healthy, happy and prosperou lconditions which the resources of thi country assures to all men within it borders
 r. the voters want honest govern tment they can only get it by sendin Ito Congress representatives who wi stand behind the President in carry ling out the policies inaugurated b. Ehim in fuldlIment of the pre-electio promises and the platform pledge kmade to the people at thelast Demo Ecratic campaign.
 Now. coming down to the candidate. kthe voters should famfliarize them EseIves with the type and character C Lthe candidates who are to be vote flor at the coming election. am sur [fhe people will not send to congres Efrom this district a man who is mor lat variance with the basic principle Eof honest government than any man EtIis country This man as everyon knows is P. J. Hill, who fought agains Eevery good measure during his off1cis career in Washington.
 It will be remembered that this Ael akinetical expounder of happenings, de s1ivered a most eulogistic address 3 Bridgeport some time ago in whic he pictured New Haven managemer with it's notorious methods as the vic tin of a persecution. and earnestl asked the people not to aid the gov ernmenf in finding and punishing tn rascale who coId-bloodedly robbe
