DEMOCRACY'S POWER,
During these skirmish days be
fore the battle, Democrats at times
may feel despondent because a
seeming quietude might indicate
apathy. The mere interchange of
jibes and jokes between the pickets
ends in nothing. The air of com
ing victory assumed by Republicans
deceives nobody. The silent cours
es of thought are running, and it
is believed the outcome will be a
splendid Democratic triumph.
The party needs no multiplicity
of declarations to entangle, or be
fuddle. No necessity demands pro
fession about every conceivable pro
ject that wild imagination might
conceive or every vagary that
dreamer might indulge. There is
today proceeding in the political
mind of this country a process of
straining the false from the true,
the lasting from the ephemeral, the
immediate good, from the delusive
vision. For months the attempt
has progressed to install a new cult
of government, to usurp unfamiliar
functions by officials not so empow
ered. The brazen program has been
conducted of diverting the people
from their proximate burdens by
undue preachment about lesser ills.
Let Democracy assert that it will
stand, as of old, against invalid en
croachment by the Federal Govern
ment upon the States, and that it
will stop the burdening of the mass
to enrich tue few. With plain and
firm front against centralized pow
er and bounty-fed wealth, Democ
racy can win. Pittsburg Post.

taking up all my tune, it will be impossible fur me to see all of the vot
ers personally, although I would like very much to do so. I am very
grateful for the support of the voters at mv first election, and if they
choose to support me again, I shall use my best efforts for the good of
tne county. Very Respectfully,
ABOUT THE APRIL PRIMARY.
A very general misunderstanding
exists as to the qualifications ot
voters at the spring primary to be
held on April nth. Many people
think that a Democrat can vote for
some Democrats and some Republi
cans, at that election, and nnny
also think that a Republican can
vote for any persons for nomina
tion on the Democratic ticket and
vice versa. The fact that the pri
mary election is held under the law
by the regular election board has
led to this conclusion.
The uniform primaries law, ap
proved February 17, 1906, provides
that theccuttty cominiisioners shall
prepare and furnish to the election
officers for use at the primaries, as
many official ballots of each party
as are equal to double the total
number of votes cast for any candi
date of said party within the elec
tion district at the last general elec
tion and the names of all the candi
dates for nomination by the Demo
cratic party will be printed on one
ballot and the names of all the
candidates for nomination by the
Republican party will be printed
on another ballot. When a voter
enters the polls he will be required
to announce which ballot he desires
to have aud the electiou officers will
furnish him with ballot of the party
for which he asks. It will thus be
seen that no voter can vote for
some Republicans and some Demo
crats because he can only receive
one ballot.
GUFFEY NOT COMMITTED.
Colonel James M. Guffey, leader
of the Pennsylvania Democracy,
has not declared in favor of the
nomination of William Jennings
Bryan for President, reports to the
contrary notwithstanding, says a
PittsDurg dispatch.
Colonel Guffey is in favor of an
uninstructed delegation from Penn
sylvania to the Denver convention
He has kept in close touch with his
Democratic friends all over the
State and is confident that the sen
timent of the Democrats of Penn
sylvania is in favor of an unin
structed delegation.
"Pennsylvania will send an un
instructed delegation to the Denver
convention," said Colonel Guffey
when questioned regarding the re
ports that he had agreed to join
the Bryan movement.
He does not believe that this
surely Republican State should dic
tate or help to dictate the choice of
the Denver convention, and while
he does not pretend to say that a
majority of the delegates from
Pennsylvania will not ultimately
support Bryan he is sure that the
best policy is to refrain from a de
cision until the delegates reach
Denver, where they may be guided
by the situation as it may appear at
that time. The Colonel thinks it
more important that the Democrats
win at the next November election
than that any particular man shall
be nominated.

CAUSES OF THE PANIC.
The labored efforts to deceive the
public into the belief that commer
cial pro-perity has been restored, is
not meeting with success. The
facts are too pilpable. Traveling
salesmen make a different report.
They find business growing worse
instead of better. Merchants in the
country are afraid to buy with their
customary freedom. They appre
hend that the day of reckoning
Inay find them with heavy stocks
hud low bank balances, and to em
ploy the language ot one of the
"commercial tourists," they "order
only - what they have to have."
Manufacturing establishments are
idle because there is no demand for
their products aud the railroads
have unemployed motive power be
cause merchants and manufacturers
are cautious.
In this respect this panic is as
unusual in its contiuuauce as in its
beginning. Previous panics have
had natural causes. Failure of
crops has hitherto been the influ
encing reason for panics. With
meagre reward for their labor farm
ers are unable to renew machinery
and implements and industrial par
alysis follows, for after all agricul
ture is the principal source of
wealth in this country. But this
panic came on the heels of a phe
nomenally abundant harvest. It
broke into the midst of an extraor
dinary period of industrial activity.
As Senator Bailey, of Texas, de
clared the other day in a speech, it
may have been in part the result of
over extension of bank credits or it
may have been the too free use of
the President's tongue. But it came
and still remains.
It is probably right to strengthen
credit by hoprful opinions but it is
not right to deceive the public by
misrepresenting the facts, and that
is what a good many newspapers
are doing. As a matter of fact the
industrial life of the country is at a
very low ebb and it maybe predict
ed that it will continue '.o suffer as
long as the people are burdened to
feed a profligate government. The
country is rich in products and al
most illimitable in resources. But
it is not rich enough to endure rob
bery of a billion dollars a year from
its earnings. That is what it has
been doing for nearly a dozen years
and the panic is simply the sign of
exhaustion. No matter what finan
cial system is in operation such
ecouomic folly will bring commer
cial distress and the remedy is in
change of policies. Watchman.
