"BUYING THE PRESIDENCY"
While the Democrats officially announced that the
keynote of their national campaign would be the
"League of Nations," meaning Wilson's, it was a safe
bet that neither League not the achievements of the
administration would be touched upon except in a few
soft spots. It ought to be plain by this time that both
subjects are pretty nearly taboo the country over. Hap-
pily Candidate Cox has found, or affects to believe he
has found, a live issue and he is kicking up a lot of dust
in the hope that it will obscure real live issues that the
Republicans would doubtless have brought up merely
incidentally in a long list of indictments.
Candidate Cox charges that a fund of anywhere
from $15,000,000 downward has been raised to "buy the
presidency" for the Republican candidate, and the in-
vestigation discloses that up to August 24th the contribu-
tions were $1,017,255.32, but the Republicans admit they
will need about three millions to cover their national and
state working expenses. Apparently the Democrats have
rustled up about the same amount to "put Cox over."
What so far does not seem to have been mentioned
is the immense sums which will be drawn from the
thousands of holders of jobs under the administration;
the printing and franking privilege which is being
worked to death by department heads in sending stuff
out to the voters; and the other thousands of appointees
who are working for Cox over the country when they
ought to be doing the work they are drawing pay for.
It has not been forgotten that Attorney General Palmer
and nearly all his big force were in San Francisco en
masse trying to force his nomination in the Democratic
convention. All these influences are still at work, but of
course, the Democratic national committee doesn't need
much money, because they are making all the people pay
tl/e bills.
There are some other avenues to secure a healthy
pot to "put Cox over," and one of them just exposed is
the "Association. of Liquor Interests," which promises
to "fight as it never fought before" for Cox in the hope
of reward. Then Wall Street and British influence will
pay well to "put the league over." ,
What% a few millions, more or less, to a Democrat
anyway. President Wilson's junket to Paree and the
pomp and feathers which surrounded it. onlv "stung"
'the American citizen about three millions, cA mere
bagatelle in the orgy of waste, incompetence, favoritism
and profligacy which ought to be the real issue of this
campmgn.
The fac had been almost forgotten that George
Adams, the Mason County Dem. push, is one of the Cox
presidental electors, but the chance of George's going
to Washington on such a mission is so remote he might
as well forget it.
After all Shelton has some good friends who have
made is possible for us to enjoy advantages that few
towns many times this size do not possess. Like the small
boy with a growing appetite the average citizen is prone
to forget that which is attained and recall that there
are a few more things really needful to complete his hap-
piness.
There is a wild rumor afloat that Attorney General
Palmer has succeeded in knocking out the high cost of
UdS, with some trifling aid by Messrs. Supply and
mand. Ditto Sugar.

in the Not'thetis border states except
m the production of slaves for the
market, as it cost no more to raise
a young slave than a horse and they
were worth 8 or 10 times as much.
Ilence they secretly began to pre-
pare for rebellion four years before
the war began. The war caused
another rcallignment of parties, many
Democrats joining the Republican
ranks and some Republicans going
to the Democrats.
One chief difference between Dem-
ocrats then and now, is that Dem-
ocrats (the majority of them) will
follow their leaders no matter wht
course they pursue or what principles
they espouse; while Republicans gen-
erally will not. This assertion will
perhaps be denied, but I aver that
t is a fact. I have not been blind
for 70 years and I know that it al-
ways has been the case. If ithad not
been so, there would not have been
any great rebellion. If it were not
so, Wilson at this time would have
but few supporters. A party that
would stick to a man that tells them
by his actions and even by words
that they know nothing and "I am
wtser and know more than all the
people of these U. S," would follow
tleir leaden" right down to perdition.
Our own Roosevelt was something
of an egotist but he was not over
amlYitious and would never have bar-
tered the liberty and independence of
his counery to gratify an inordinate
ambition. It therefore behooves the
people at this critical period, to con-
sider seriously which party it were
better to entrust with the interest
of the nation True Cox may be a man
of a different role, but having in-
dorsed the Wilson administration he
should not be elected.
It may be true that in state and
local affairs it s only a question of
personal honesty and efficiency, and
party politics do not amount to much.
ut in national affairs it is a mat-
ter of vital importance.
At the end of tne great rebell£on
a vast debt has been piled up. Nearly
two and half billions of dollars. But
within a year of the time after hos-
tilities ceased it began to go down
and steadily decreased under "extrav-
agant" Republican rule. With a debt
many fold greater--much ot which
cannot be accounted for, it is neces-
sary that there should be a change
of administration ff the Republic is
to live and prosper.
Another distinction between the
parties relates to the rigor in which
(Paid Advertisement) they punish persons for disloyal or
