The Polk County Republican. (Ducktown, Tenn.) 1914-191?, 1914-07-24

WYE are SO busy making treaties with foreign
w powers that we haven't time to think of
home people.
MR.. BRYAN'S espousal of the cause of wo-
lVl mans suffrage looks like he is in watch
full waiting" for 1916.
IF the "best men are elected at the August
election, each and every one will be Re
publican. All Republicans are good men,
THE time is coming when to be able to eat a
steak will be evidence that one is liable
for the income tax. Oh, you Democratic good
times!
A LBERT CRUMLY'S record is that his office
IA has been run on more economical basis
than has been the case for years. ALBERT is no
fee grabber.
uOW many bogus poll tax receipts will that
LII $4,000 campaign fund buy? At any rate,
it ought to be spent and the custodian OF 1t
should be made to dig it up.
livery fraudulent poll tax receipt that is issued
IL means that the school fund has been robbed
to that extent 1t is the duty of every citizen
to see that this fund is protected.
THERE has never been Democrat elected in
Republican county except by the aid of
renegade Republicans. Let us hope that there
none of this class in Polk county.
WITH the poor poor man carrying the burden
w of free trade and the poor rich man pay
ing all of the taxes on incomes, there seems to
be no middle ground. CoD help the rich the
poor can beg.
WE are informed that Attorney General PEACE
w has issued statement to the effect that
any person found with fraudulent poll tax re-
ceipt in his possession, or tries to vote on one,
will be sent to the penitentiary for forgery
THAT Democrat, who confded to JOE STUART,
under the impression that JOE was right,
that their ticket was beaten unless something
was done mighty quick, only told what most he
publicans have known all the time.
WE learn that prominent Democrat OF the
w Second district is responsible for the state
ment that thirty per cent of the voters OF his
district will have to be paid for voting. Well,
there is $4,000 campaign fund for that pur-
pose, isn't there!
A MOTHER bare-faced lie has been nailed to
n the cross. The charge that the County
Court did not fix the compensation OF the pike
road commission falls flat with the statement
that said compensation was liked at the july
1913, term, and is matter OF record.
The Polk County Republican. (Ducktown, Tenn.) 1914-191?, 1914-07-24

IF those who claim to be Republicans and mt to
L bear the name do their duty, on August o.
victory is ours.
THE words confirmed by the Senate " have no
L meaning, these days. See the President
about it., is the proper term
WooDRoW'S ability to contract Indigestion IN
w seems in no wise to impair his desire to
keep the wheels of business locked.
ONE Democratic candidate says that Ia ne
" will be elected by 90 majority. The re-
turns will probably cause him to revise these
figures.
IF the people elect grafters to office, they have
no one to blame but themselves. 'Once
CRATER, always grafter,' is an old saying, and
it is mighty true one.
THE New York World says that the WILSON
L administration needs new Attorney-Cen-
eral. What's the matter with a new administra-
tion-and that Republican one?
ISN'T our President the confdng kid when he
L says that the people are behind him in all
his fads and fancies. When they really do get
behind him, he won't be able to sit down tor
some time.
A LBERT CRUMLY is running on the record
n he has made as sheriff, and not on that
of his deputies. A mans Republcanism is OF
small calibre when it permits him to make use
of such subterfuge.
TT is claimed that campaign fund OF $1,000
was promised Polk County if RYE was NOM
mated If this be true, and the said fund is dis
pensed through certain channel, mighty little
of it will be used for the purpose intended
CECRETARY HOUSTON says he appointed
- committee, last December, to into the price
of meat AS this committee has no definite
time for reporting and the price of meat is still
soaring. relief seems long way off. But 1t was
in the platform and that ought to satisfy the
people.
A PRINCETON professor of Jurisprudence and
"a politics has been appointed deputy legal
adviser to the Chinese government. The brand
of politics that is taught at Princeton was seem
ingiy quite popular, two years ago. but it is safe
to say that the American people have had enough
of it to last life time.
IT o. PACKS faithful discharge of the duties
L. incumbent upon him as County Court Clerk
deserves the peoples hearty appreciation, re-
gardless of political lines. Only man of large
experience can successfully fill his place and the
time is not at hand for the filling OF this very
importantant office with an untried man.
