The Polk County Republican. (Ducktown, Tenn.) 1914-191?, 1915-11-12

WATCH the coming session of Congress and
w see if the same tactics are used as in the
last two or three
THE "fy in the Ointment" with Democracy is
that help from Progressives is thing OF
the past and it is bewildered
TT IS probably not true that the President will
have to consult that Philadel phia occulist IN
order to read the election returns.
oh, YES! WOODROW may be first in the
~ hearts of the people in 1916, but he will
be last when the votes are counted.
THE first guns have been fired and all along
the line the cheering news comes that the
C.. O. P. has "come back and to stay.
A BOUT the only comfort Democracy is getting
"A out of the recent elections is in contem
plating the fact that it might have been worse
IRON the way its citizens voted, New Jersey
L has had sufficiency of that New Free
dom " and doesn't banker after any more OF It,
DROBABLY the reason why Polk County's
L "soremost" Independent paper is support
LEA is because that individual was an lndepend-
ent in 1910.
VALE Progressivism! In the fight against
v the common enemy, former members OF
that party will line up with their first love and
sweep the country.
TT is likely untrue that the President said
L vd--n it" when he heard from New Jer-
sey. But there are many people who will be-
lieve he thought it.
COULD it be that the results in New Jersey,
- Massachusetts and elsewhere had anything
to do with VICTOR MURDoCK's decision to be-
come war correspondent?
THE popular wave for preparedness may have
L had something to do with the Presidents
change of front, but one, BRYAN, will knock
that plan into cooked hat"
OF COURSE, the recent elections do not mean
" that the present Administration is dis
credited. They only mean that the people want
statesmen instead of sandbaggers of business.
WITH a platform the keynote of which is
w prosperity for the people, candidate
unon which all elements of the 9. y. L. can
unite, we will be in fine trim to hand Democ-
racy large-sized package.
AND now for lolol With four-years record
n for as rank an exhibition of incompetency
as history has ever handed down, Democracy
faces the wrath of people betrayed, with no
hope of explaining it away.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS

MIR. BRYAN stumped Ohio and the results
lVI stumped him-if his egotism is suscePtl-
bic to such punctures.
TN TRYING to deal with England, does the
L President realize that he hasn't another
Mexican episode on hand?
WYE STILL pin our faith to the power of the
w organization, which is for LEA. Watch
'em when the party whip cracks
IFA Democratic majority in Kentucky can be
L reduced over 10000 in off year, what may
be expected in the vote for President!
WHILE the President is talking of prepared
w ness, the people are talking about dis
pensing with his services at the next election
WITH regard to that TRANSMISSION story, it IS
w said that LUKE was down at Nashville
trying to give the Legislature the infusion cure.
INTEREST centers around the question OF
L whether or or not the Judge of this Judicial
Circuit is going to permit the integrity OF his
Court to be questioned.
THE effects of that Indianapolis speech are
Just becoming apparent. Another speech
and few more letters would be great deal OF
help-to Republicans.
A SHIPMENT of 10000 dressed beeves was
IA dumped upon the New York market from
Argentine. recently, duty free, but the price OF
porterhouse steak is just as Prohibitive as
ever.
IF 1T necessary, now, to make huge prepara-
L tions for war, was it not doubly so when
Germany was killing American citizens without
restraint? 1t looks like somebody has been
asleep
WHAT has Democracy to say about the elec-
w ton of Republican Congressman in
New York from Democratic stronghold and
souarely upon the issues as defined by the UN-
DERwooD tariff?
CHAIRMAN PRINCE fell victim to an in
~ junction while endeavoring to keep some
Democratic shouts out of the public crib.
Every good citizen and taxpayer in Polk County
should rally to his support.
THE man who always wants to buy his stuff at
the lowest possible price and sell his pro-
ducts at the highest possible price, with no ac-
count taken of whether the other fellow lives or
not, always favors free trade.
WITH the first Republican Governor elected
w in Massachusetts since 1909, Democracy
claims that Republicans have nothing to brag
about But "every little added TO what you
already have, makes only little bit more"
