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.

Roland H, Hartley went "over the top" with 426 votes more than Governor Hart and had a lead of 955 over George &mpinl: the next llearet compet tier.

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 SEAWI$ STRAW A C00GE seditious iatteranoes.
