There is interest ami iuthusi. j paigu republican leaders promise to
asm among Democrats in this couu
ty. Every man in a Democratic Con
vention has a fair chance.
With Republican editors and
spell binders lisiug prices are due
to the republican party; but when
prices decline they are due to some
other course.
There is no tight between the
outs and ins in Randolph. Some
of the present otlieials are candi
dates for renoininatbn and some
are not. The people will settle
these matters in the primaries and
will settle them light as they genei
allv do, and all will be satisfied.
l'olitics is beginning eaily this
year. The democratic state conven
tion will be held July 10. The coun
ties all round and about us have eith
er nominated or fixing to nominate
their tickets: candidates g are au
nounciug themselves, and the air is
getting warm.
If the proof was not overwhelm
ing we could not believe that the
beef packers take great masses of
tainted und putrying refuse from
dead hogs and cattle iu making
various kinds of potted meats,
chemicals being used to preserve de
caying and putrid meats.
Let the deiucorats confer together
but let there be no caucuses to se
lect tickets. Let republicans con
tinue to select their nominees in
that way. In democratic couveu
tious let the people rule. Let no
man or set of men control, domi
nate or select the ticket iu demo
cratic conventions.
Several weeks ago we published
in these columns that we had adopt
ed a rule requiring all comniuuica
tie is advocating any or.e for oflice to
be sigued. Our experitnre has
taught us that this plan is most
satisfactory. This course is taken
for good and sufficient reason?.
We shall be glad to publish UHob
jectional articles advocating nomi
nees when signed. In fact we
invite our friends to write such ar
ticles. It is said that when Upton
Sin- i
clair's book, The Jungle, was mib
lished, President Roosevelt sent for
tiic author, and the result of the
conference was the appointment by
the president of Messrs. Xeill and
jtteynokls to make an official investi
gation. Their report of conditions
are even worn than was outlined in
Mr. Sinclair's book. Mr. Sinclair's
book states that men with coiisum
tion are iu the habit of expectorating
upon the lloor, and occasionally up
on the meat which they handle in
the packing houses of the trust;
that ruts are frequently caught in
the machines and ground ui
tiat !
diseased cattle are slaughtered at
night. The repo.t makes matters
5 1
even worse.
We hear much about candidates
for some of the offices, and some
thing here aud there about this one
or that one for the general assembly,
but little or nothing is said as to
county commissioners. We would
like to hear of some good men who
would not only accept but run for
the office of county commissioner.
We do not know whether the com
missioners now holding these offices
are candidates for renomination and
have heard no one say as tc that. If
they are not can didates the people
should know it, so they can begin
to cast about for good men for their
successors. W e believe now as we
have alwavs believed that the demo
crats in the primaries should say
who they want to fill the various
offices. Let the democrats consider
well' their nominees ; for' the im
portant office of county commission
ers. If they wait until the day of
the convention to think about it a
mistake may be made.
! Settle iu the primaries who shall
i e tjig nou,iuees unj then work for
the whole ticket.
Oue of the plans this year is for
i republicans to try to induce deuio-
endorse the independents. Did you
ever see au independent atid do you
know what one is. He is always a
disappointed oflice seeker. It is
always sour grapes with him.
--
Iu writing of the recent rate bill
fight in the Senate Mr. Archibald
Johnson, editor of Charity and Chil
dren, Iiuj this to say of Senator
Overman, who has gone to the front
in the Senate:
Overman made a capital record,
and his ameudmeat was conceded
to be one of the most sensi
ble that was oft'eied. Indeed
in the wind-up of this titanic strug
g e few of the Stmtors fared better
diau Senator Overman.
There is a contest on iu this
county, and a friendly contest it is
for the county officers. The caiuli
dates who are in the race aie broad
gauged nieu who can stand defeat
or success. There can be but one
successful candidate for each office.
It is fortunate that we have only
those iu the race that are big enough
'ind broad enough to leadily and
cheerfully accept the verdict of the
people and join with good feeling in
the ratification of the nomination of
the successful aspirant. A little
man sulks and becomes sour: a big
man accepts without murmuring at
the adverse decrees of fate or fortune.
The honor and brutality of
scenes iu the Chicago stock yards
have as narrated by Upton Sinclair
in a recent book have started the
world.
We quote one paragraph:
'Worst of any, however, were the
fertilizer men, those who served in
the cooking rooms. These people
could not be shjwu to the visitor
for the odor of a fertilizer man
would scare au ordinary visitor at a
hundred yards, and as for the other
men, who worked in tank rooms
full of steam, and in some of which
there were open vats near the level
of the floor, their peculiar trouble
was that they fell into the vats;
and when they were fished out
there was never enough of them left
to be worth exhibiting sometimes
they would be overlooked for days
till all but the bones of them had
gone o"t to the world as Durham's
Pure Leaf Lard."
This is the trust, like Standard
Oil, which presses, drives and forces
ali competition out of the way.
Stock raisers are helpless and de-
pendent on its will.
Our good old friend, Col. Allen
Jordan, of Troy, is still a joker as
in the days of yore when he had
Seago Smith called so often one
cold wintry morning at Troy court.
He writes the Industrial News that
Montgomery county is natural
Democratic but has stilLred revers
es! by reason of indecent methods
of which decent Democratic are
heartily ashamed. Col. Jordan
continues to joe when he says there
is not only au opportunity to put
Montgomery in the Republican
column this fall, but a tine oppor
.
" iM by the selection of a
ITrovanasa candidate against R.
N. Cagle, Col. Jordan says: The
particular Trojan who can do the
job with neatness and dispatch is
G. D. B. Reynolds, at present chair
man of the county executive com
mittee, and a lawyer of fine ability.
The district will please take notice
that Montgomery has a candidate
and will press his claims. He is a
leader and will make a canvass to
be remembered.
