The men were painting poles when
Baldwin in reaching across the wires

contact of five seconds, fell back

horribly, and smoke could be seen ris-

a rope Summers let the body to the
ground where, after fifteen or twenty
minutes resuscitation work, Baldwin
began to show signs Of life. :
He was taken to the city hospital
and will recover, physicians say. The
burn will probably cause him to be a
cripple. The muscle il so badly burned
he is unable to lift hts arm more than
half way.
The excessive heat Of the afternoon
sun caused him to be wet with sweat
and when the damp clothing touched
the wires q short circuit was made. He

Democrat Party Wrong in Theory.
The history Of American politics
shows conclusively that the democratic
party is wrong in theory of govern
ment and incapable in ad1ninistra ton.
Its whole history demonstrates that it
has had no fixed principles in their re-
lation to issues which have confronted
the electorate during the past fifty
years. It's three victories during the
past half century have been the result
of accident and not an endorsement OF
democratic principles by the voters.
The American republic Is but lao
years, old, short period in the life OF a
nation. 1t is a source OF great
pride that practically all of the laws
on our statute books which have aided
our marvellous development have been
placed there by the republican party
and are a monument to its fidelity t.
its past task and opportunity. INDEX
