PRAY For Wisdom.

On the eve Of the Democratic state con
entien tomorrow, all wqH-wiehers Of tbs
Defnoeratic party, or all persons who wish
to see the nn-swailoyabIe Republican state
ticket properly defeated, should pray that
the Democratic gathering will act with care
and discretion and political wisdom In
choosing It's candidates, the men VINO are
to carry the standard against the Old Re
publiean+Ting, s~pecialfnterest, corporations
supported Observation-Disclosures who are
again preparing to make a supreme effort
to get hold of the state Offices.
1t Is. OF course, needless to remark on the
rare opportunity offered the Democrats. in
view Of the ticket nominated by the Old
Guard. with well selected candidates, a
vigorous. aggressive campaign waged by a
young. vigorous Aggressive chairman, with
the burying OF the tactional hatchets which
have always cropped up in times Of stress
among the Democrats; WIN a ticket which
will invite and receive the support OF the
independent vote, the Democrats should be
able to register q stinging defeat for the
Bursum-Hubbela ticket.
The fight is between the influences repre-
scented by the leaders OF the Republican
ticket and the people. The history OF the
regime with which these men have been at,
fijatsd ID a history Of successive attacks up
on the public interest and public welfare.
The Republicans bank upon their cynical
confidence that this election can be bought
and bulldozed through as Republican cleo
tons have been bought and buIldozed
through before. The Democrats must meet
this issue IN ! popular way; they must So
ilicit the support Of the independent voters,
they must recognize the need OF 1t n show
appreciation of 1t. The candidates must be
men who cannot be charged with being the
selection Of any coterie or any individuals
in the party. They must be men who can
appeal to the voters as men who will go in
to office with no idea but to give the state
economic and efficient administration, men
who can be trusted, men who are square.
men who viii stand for the things the In
dependent voter and the man on the street
wants and needs.
The Republican idea is simply and solely
to strengthen a politicateorporation ma
chine, to put men IA control, of the state
who will use that control purely for their
w selfish interests. who will use it as
they have always used 1t in this state, who
will use it as they did in the last Legislative
session, who will use it as Frank A. Hubbell
did when he was In power in BerhaiilIo
county, who win use it as H. o.. Bursum
has used it in pressing vicious Legislation,
who stand for such competency" in public
Office as Bursum showed as superintendent
OF the state penitentiary, as Hubbeu showed
as school superintendent and county treas
urer.
It Is much more than a political matter
to have those men defeated and defeated
overwhelmingly, 1t is a matter which comes
home to every ordinary voter and taxpayer;
and 1t ID the ordinary voter and taxpayer
who has no interest in political fortunes for
whom the Democrats must stand in this
campaign.

It was a fine and fitting thing to show to

actiop at Colu1nbus called for courage and
presence Of mind Of the very highest order.
1t required not only bravery but GOODNESS

To Mrs. Prince, WHO worked SO hard and
so unselfishly to see that proper expression
Of appreciation was made to Mrs. Parks, is
due highest praise. She ives the moving
