result of the special congressional
election in the First West Virginia
district, and the vote elsewhere in
ether special elections a few months
since, proves it. After, this years
elections the vote of the Progressive
party will be shown to be so small
comparatively, that it will end this
attempt to foist a new party on the

They will detect its unsoundness
upon the cardinal American doc

management. On three great princi-
pies the party in power is unsound,
and when the country as a whole
awakens to this fact, it will turn to
the Republican party to restore

There are times when even the very greatest differences of opinion on po- htical issues must give away to the demands of personal friendship. When he was a youngster at Howard collegs Rnshton very greatly commended him. self to the friendship of the editor of tine Tuskegee News, and from that day to this there has never been time when we have had reason to regard him ether than true friend We have and do now differ somewhat on men and measures. but at the same time, we krow him well enough to believe that cn important measures looking to the upbuilding of his state and nation he will be true to the right as God gives

which have found favor with the Ameri- can people. In his own words he claims nothing more than high ideals of gov ernment and promises nothing but to serve with an honest heart and to the utmost of his ability Such promise coming from a man of the intellectual and moral caibre of MT. Rushton is as good as bond and will impress the voters of the state with his sincerity. Mobile Item.
 This distinguished citizen resides in Montgomery. and was born 20 miles from that city in 1868. He is a lawyer and ranks among Alabama's greatest barris- ters.
 Graduating at Howard college. hE taught school until a few pressing obliga- tions were met and then began the prac- tice of law in our Capital City. His success has been wonderful as we'll as marvellous.
 Tn personal appearance, MT. Rushton has striking resemblance to Abraham Lincoln and he reminds us of the great war President in many other respects in common sense, in astuteness in foren- sic power. in ability and in wit These characteristics in his life work, point him out as a leader of thought as well of men, Courteous. brainy and compan-
 ,lxAl. by his candor and honesty-by his suavity and eenteness; yea, by his politeness and kindness of heart, by his sympathetic na- ture and towering intellect.
 Ray Rushton, as he is familiarly called by those who know him best. is a candi- date for United States senator-for the short term made so by the death of sena- tor Johnston-and he appeals to the peo- pie to nominate him for the exalted place at the democratic primary on the 9th of April His platform of principles cov- CTS the field, but there is not an un- sound plank in it. It is built on the solid bed rock of democracy, and Rush. ton stands immovable upon the govern mental principles as handed down by our fathers--by Washington. Jefferson, Jack son and others who battered down inn perialism during the early period of our republic.
 Ray Rushton is giant physically. as we'll as intellectually, apd would re- fleet great credit on Alabama as one of graphy and platform. "-Nioulton Adver- tiser.
