In order to successfully contend
against a political adversary, hav
ing at its command limitless funds
provided by participants in its poli
cies of public plunder, the Demo
cratic National Committee realizes
that it must rely upon the energetic,
organized effotts of the rank and
file of the party. A plan has been
devised, involving the selection of
an active, working Democrat, in ev
ery voting precinct in the United
States, appointed and commissioned
as the special representative of the
Democratic National Committee in
his precinct. This plan of organ
ization has been in successful oper
ation for several months, and at
this time the National Committee
has an accredited representative in
more than half of the voting pre
cincts of the United States.
Below will be found a list of pre
cincts in this county in which the
committee has no representatives
It is earnestly requested that some
loyal Democrat in each of these
precincts volunteer to act as such
representative, and address a letter
signifying his willingness to J. G.
Johnson, Chairman Democratic Na
tional Executive Committee, Chi
cago, Illinois. In volunteering
your services be careful to state ex
plicitly your postoffice address and
the official designation of your vot
ing precinct, as well as your county
and state.

McKiuley was the favorite in a few

The Paramount Issue
The burning issue of imperial

war, involves the very existence of

our free institutions e regard it
as the paramount issue of the cam

form. -
People tie Only Power.
It is easier to lose a reputation
than to establish one, and this na
tion would find it a long and labor
ious task to regain its proud posi
tion among the nations, if, under
the stress of temptation, it should
repudiate the se'f-cvident truths
proclaimed by our heroic ancestors
and sacredly treasured during a
career unparalleled in the annals of
time. When the doctrine that the
people are the only source of power
is made secure from turther attack
we can sa.ely proceed to the settle
ment of the numerous questions
which involve the domestic and
economic wetare ot our citizens.
From Bryan's Letter of Acceptance.
DEMOCRATS OF OObUMBIA UOUilTY
There have been seme complaints
of apathy among Democrats in this
county in the present political cam
paign. This probably arises from
the fact that there have been 110
torch-light parades and brass bauds.
Such demonstrations are expensive
and the bills usually have to be
paid by a few persons. When one
side indulges in such displays the ;
other side does the same, so that
one balances the other and no prac
tical benefit is gained by either.
It ought not to require torch lights
and brass bands to arouse the en
thusiasm of voters. livery Ameri
can citizen ought to be sufficiently
interested in the welfare of his
cjuntry to go to the polls and ex
ercise the right of suffrage, without
uch displays. There is no more
apparent apathy on our side than
on that of the Republicans. The
election of Bryan is not a mere pos
sibility, and it will surely happen if
Democrats do their duty on election
day. The Republicans are alarm
ed,, and this is apparent from the
fact that they are sending letters to
business men all over the country,
asking for contributions to the cam
paign fund, f hey admit that if the
Democrats retain the present num
b?r of Congressmen and gain seven
more, that we will rontrol the
House. The election of Hon. Rufus
K. Polk from this district is almost
a certainty, but strange things hap
pen in politics and it might be pos
sible for the stay-at-homes to cause
his defeat. We cannot hope to
carry the state, but we can help to
retain the present number of Con
gressraen from this state, and thus
aid in having a Congress that will
stand by Col. Bryan in case of his
election. The Democrat who fails
to vote on November 6tli is not
worthy of the name, for by his
negligence he is assisting the
enemy.
The Same Old Scare-Crow-
Bluffiing and bullying don't make
votes. When these have to be re
sorted to it only shows the desptra
tion of the cause they are expected
to assist.
It is to this extreme that the ad
vocates of imperialism and the sup
porters of trusts have gotten. They
have quit arguing. They have
ceased boasting, and now impti
dently and hrtitishly threaten the
business of the country with dire
disasters if the people see proper to
elect Mr. Bryan to the Presidency.
The first effort at this political bull
dozing came from a Baltimore Trust
company. Its president gave out,
,a few days ago,, that a business en
terprise, amounting to $11,000,000,
and which his company had agreed
to finance, would be abandoned if
Bryan is successful.
This threat ' fell flat, for the rea
son that the public understood why
it had been made. It was also un
derstood that the trust concern that
made it was on the verge of finan
cial failure, and that this pretense
of handling millions of dollars was
to leave people, who had business
with it, under the impression that
it controlled unlimited means.
Following this attempt to fright
en the public, a Republican syndi
cate in New Jersey was announced
as having contracted to build a num-

her of miles of railroad, but that
the persons for whom it was to i e
completed had made a proviso that
in case of McKinley's defeat the
contract should be void. A few
days later another case was given
the public of n party of capitalists
in northern New York who had
bargained for the erection of a large
paper mill, with the understanding
that the enterprise was to be aban
doned if Bryan was elected.
Such is the fool stuff that Mr.
Hanna and his gang of business ct t
throats have been forced to resort to.
It is not a new idea the same
scare-crow has been flopped in the
face of the people many times be
fore. In this county it was used four
years ago in connection with the
Valentine iron works. It was then
said that if Bryan was elected the
works would close down at once,
but if McKiuley was successful
they would be run to their full ca
pacity all the time. Notwithstand
ing the fact that McKiuley was suc
cessful they were closed down short
ly after the election and have re
mained closed most of the time
since. They are as silent to-day as
a grave-yard.
Idiots may be influenced by this
kind ot stuff but to sensible peo
ple it only shows the desperation
and hopelessness of the party that
resorts to it. Belhfonte Watchman.
Depew Reverses Himself.
Hjw Hit Views Have Changed in the Last
Two Tears.
Senator Chauncey M. Depew has
always been the humorist of any
movement with which he has been
in the least concerned, and i is
not spoiling his record in this cam
paign. As soon as he landed from
Lurope he said : "The American
eagle has no shell. The American
people will not stand lor our with
drawal from our rightful position in
the ICast."
Mr. Depew was interviewed by the
Chicago Times-Herald May, 1S9S
and talked to the extent ot about a
column. The interviewer was
George Grantham Bain. Among
other things Mr. Depew said :
"If we should keep the Philip
pine Islands we would reverse the
traditions of this government from
its foundation. We would open up
a new line of policy. It
would mean the establishment of a
military government over possibly
10,000,000 of people 6,000 miles
away trom us.
He also said : "With the increase
of our expenditures by 100 per
cent, the taxes to support the gov
ernment would be felt in our homes
and in our offices. We would feel
them in both the necessaries aud
luxuries of life."
When Mr. Bain asked Mr. Depew
if it was not possible to derive from
these proposed colonies a revenue
greater than the additional expend
itures which their possession would
involve, his reply was :
"How? By taxation? Every time
you attempt to collect a tax from
these people they would rise and
you would have to call on yournn!
itary force to suppress them. And
suppress them for what? For doing
what John Hancock did ? They
mi,jht quote against us our immortal
declaration 'that taxation without
representation is tyranny.' " Phil

Imp -rialisai, Militurism, aid Trusts-
At Nashville, Michigan, William
Jennings Bryan devoted his five
minutes' speech to asking questions.
He suggested that Republicans be
asked the iollowing :
If the trust is a good thing, why
did the Republican platform de
nounce trusts ?
If the trust is a bad thing, why
did the Republican administration
allow more trusts to be organized
than during all the previous history
of the country ?
If some trusts are good and some
are bad, can you tell the difference
between a good one and a bad one?
Do you know of any good mon
opoly in private hands ?
Do you know of any man gocd
enough to stand at the head of a
monopoly and determine the price
of that which others are to use?
Do you know of any good reason
why the army should be made
100,000 ?
Would you be willing to make
the army 200.000 if the Republican
leatlets said so, or half million if
thev wanted it ?
What is your title to the Filipino?
Did you buy him or did you get
him by force ?
Do you think you can. buy the
right to govern people ?
W hat are you going to do with
the Filipino when you get him?
Are you going to kill him i
Well, you cannot do that, because
you tiieu would lose your trade
argument. ou have got to let him
live if you trade with him. Dead
men don't buy things. If n lives,
is he to be a citizen or a subject ?
Are you going to have Congress
men from the Philippines, and Sen
ators and electors? If not, are you
going to have subjects ?
v hen di 1 you decide that it was
was wise for us to have half an em
pire and half republic ?
W nen did you decide that a
colonial policy was good?
Shall we force upon the Porto
Ricans, because we have the power,
that which we would not bear - our
selves?
What ate you going to do with
the Philippine question ?
