THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES
OF CARROLL COUNTY.

The spirit of unrest and dissatis-
faction sweeping over our land, part
1y owing to the decentralization ma
turally following the great war, must
not be avoided or catered to, but
firmly faced and conquered by ad-
herance to sane and sound doctrines
of government. lin the nation it has
been encouraged by the conduct Of
an inefficient and neglectful Republic
can Congress, and in the State by the
Republican bosses nominating for
Governor a man, whose chief, if not
only recommendation for this re
a well known mixer, able to be all
things to all men, and is generally a
jolly good fellow. His nomination
gives no earnest OF desire to cure
an evil, but shows willingness to
succeed, If possible by a spread of
the disease
This is no way to meet the serious
conditions bound to exist for the next
two years during which time, every
one holding responsible official
position will have thrust upon them
novel propositions, quack remedies
for imaginary ills by misguided fan
atics or socialist enthusiasts. The
peoples rights can be protected and
preserved only by strong and able
men clinging fast to the principles of
the Democratic party, which has al
ways represented our great middle
class, and sought, not to destroy, but
to preserve in their purity the in
situations OF our county. Its tradi-
tons show 1t would excite no preju-
dice against wealth, only deny it ex-
elusive privileges in business or
politics, that. it has never assailed
property, but merely denied it politi-
cal power; that it has claims no
equality of social conditions, but
only of political rights, and whose
motto has ever been equal rights to
all, special privileges to none"
These are not only principles of the
Democratic party but the sentiments
or the average man, and safety and
peace will be found only by adherilg
to them. Those who represent us in
the Legislature, in administering
our county affairs will be able to
successfully serve u only by adhering
to them; upon the character of these
candidates depends the amount Of trust
We can place in their fidelity to
these doctrines. The type of men
nominated for Office becomes then a
pertinent and vital question.
And this issue the Democratic
party in Carroll county can meet
without fear, and with pride and
confidence. Never has it presented
collective ticket OF the high grade Of
moral integrity, intelligence, wv indie
pendence and individual worth, than
it offers to our people this year
Outside of two, none have ever held
Office, and they have all come for
ward and rendered their services,
only because their party felt it was
their duty to serve the people in this
time OF need. $3.50.

the men on the ticket who has held

speaks for him.
"a well justified pride is taken in
the candidates for the House Of Dele

III. Shrfver, John r. Klee and George
E. Warner IR their respective

known, their ability and worth are
recognized. No one can say that
they will not stand and vote for
what they deem best for the people
