Injuring tho Democratic Party

Y publishing replies from the Republican
- candidates for State Offices with the COM
ments that they are satisfactory the officers
OF the Anti-Saloon League are PLAYING into
tho hands of the Virginia Republicans. It
happens that only few weeks ago this same
committee, or similar one, pronounced two
or three Of the Democratic candidates I'M
satisfactory. The implication is sure to he
made that the league is favoring the Re-
bublicans.
1t is idle for them to say the league as an
organization Is not In politics. If il con-
dennis part OF the Democratic ticket and de-
clares the whole Republican ticket satisfac-
tory, 1t is giving its best influence to the Re-
publican ticket.
1t is not likely that the people of virginia
Will permit this organization to maintain q
balance OF power and throw its influence first
to one party and then TO another. according
to which is most subservient to it's dictation
This little band of "wilful men" have but
one object-the promotion of their particu-
lar hobby The people OF Virginia who are
overwhelmingly Democratic, have many OBJ
jects in view when they go into State cleo
ton. They wish to select tried capable and
honest men to conduct their affairs in q
businesslke manner. They are not willing
that such men should be barred from holding
office because they do not agree to take or
ders from the Anti-Saloon League. There
arc vital questions of finance. of taxation. or
education, road building, agricultural de-
velopment, and many others. which are in
volved In State election. yet It is clear tina t
the league is willing to lend its aid to the
overturning Of Democratic government in tho
state and the placing in charge of the vast
interests OF our people lot Of unknown loca |
politicians. some Of whom have been de-
feated for local Offices In their own counties.
Yet 1t is through the Democrats Of the State
that the league has been able to accomplish
anything. 1t is shifting the hand that has
: iostered it, The time has come for il to
| choose whether it will help the Democratic
! party or hurt it. The Democrats can scarcely

The cnemy's bravest. truest best.
Twas this that made me know his

For he had been up before the sun,
Yet toll was turned to new delight
There were letters home he had to
write.
Letters to prove--as they only can
The tender side of martial man.
He would ease with jokes their anxious
He would dry with smiles their ready
tears;
He would make the old folks think
back home
That war WIS only n hippodrome
He would speak OF camp as a chummy
thing
Where comrades loiter and laugh and
sing.
He wrote and wrote-and his heart
grew glad!-
Well. after all. war wasn't so bad;
1t had brought to him good comrades
TO cherish with friends he was writ

SO no grinnod and pledged the nag now

And grinners ore hell when they start
