HOTTEST DEMOCRATIC PAPER IN ALL AMERICA un (d ip Vol. II, No.26. PRAISE All these 'long" days we have been making THE HORNET Lot as fire, to singe bristles . off old fogv fu'sty necktd Radioals and tanu'ThWn to their eternal fate ; we have bee r as suming THE HORNET o be a Na tional affair, exposing Republican wrongs and stinging the perpetrator?. We have been doing all these things and nothing, save the rattle of thou sands of quarters and 30c. 's have we received to tell us that our doctrine is meeting with approval anywhere. But it has come at last, and it has rolled in from the sweltering per fumes of the stinohingest Republican quarters in the whole political cow lot Pennsylvania. It is the best . pi.eoe of home-made praise' and poeti cal juice we have seen or heard of since we started our political. eat-Sght five years -ago. It is the honey; it certainly is funny; it's better than any money. A Pennsylvania poet is evidently the fellow to strow it, so everybody may know it. Here's the thingthat's made .us happy.uow we'll not be called "sappy"; its even bet ter than being called "pappy"; . HENRY D. Say, W. Henry IV, you're" just the stuff Your Hornet is' Wta!nIy a ringer, You tel) the truth aj never bluff Your pen's indeed stinger. " i'iie Rads Can 11 cuss," it ain't no use THE HOKXKT has double triggers You're never scared with cheap abuse Of Republicans and their " niggers." When Democracy again reigns, and the people get :". free, ;',';';.. ''''.'' And your life here below is ended A monument will be built for the world to see On which your life will be Commended. On there it will say " Here ties his clay His politics was big and strong, , lie done his damdest every day To help Democracy along." LORD'S PRAYER.- .'.' ' : (Repubjicanized.) Oet Teddy , who has been our boss in all njis meanness, hallowed be .thy name, thy wishes tell us and we will break our old necks to do them, in office as well as out ; give us this day our "'full .dinner pail' ' for that's all we Republicans ard illing for a poor man to have, and- vtt for giveness for the wrong we Radicals do; lead us not into the paths of righteousness!, for there we would not know ourselves, but deliver us from the wrath to come, for your will is Taft's alsp,and in thy power is the glory' of us all. Amen, v SPLENDID BIXBY, N. C, Sept. 30, 1908. 1 Vi. HENRY DAVIS Jl EDITOR Political Proverbs Republicanism is wrong, its princi ples are abominable and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise It is an honor for a man to cease affiliating with Republicanism, but every fool will vote that ticket. A Republican oannot be heard to place the blame of this panic upon his partybut it's upon it just the same. Better is the man who is "wishy washy" sometimes, than he that is a staid Republican and a fool. The heart of a poor Republican de sireth and has nothing, but the pock ets of his political boss-is filled. pemocrats withhold not good "from them to whom good is due, but Re publicans think too much of one or two. ' The fear of defeat it has come to the Republicans, anrt the laboring man's desire to "outst" them this fall shall, be granted. The desire for a change of adminis tration soundeth without; it. cryeth up from the bottom of a million emp tylinner pails. ' I . ; ' . VV'.'.;' .1 Tte fear of the wrt...gs 4t a .'high tariff, it shall oome upon us; but the desire to take a whack at It shall be granted. ' . , - It is as sport to a fool to vote against his own well-being, and plen ty there be who have been doing that very thing. Ho that h'deth the tiuth with ly ing lips, and he that tolleth untruths all the dnys f f his 1 i f is a Republi- cat politician. A protective tat iff law is an abom ination to. a Democrat, but a chance to make it higher is the .delight of a New England Republican. "Keep the balot -box pure and in the hands of the people," says a Republican editor; but he's forgotten how long dead Radicals vote in Penn sylvania. IS A SICK REPUBLIGHN SEES THINGS. Oh, why does our party Force us to stoop And take down our goozles That, awful soup? That weakens our muscles - In times that are hard,' And compels ns to steal Of our neighbor's lard? Oh, why did we Radicals Gover old Grover with blame, When now we must hollow His counterpart's name? Will God such hypocrisy Ever to us forgive, And take us Radicals above Where Democrats live? Oh, why are my slumbers Encumbered with sights Of poor starving workmen All through the datk nights? I hear them witli wailings Of misery and pain, Crying out to the world That we Radioals are to blame; t , Methinks I can see As God calls out to you, While crying for mountains To hide us from view, "Take your seat on the left,' , Midst the cursed and vile, You never shall the portals . ' Of Heaven beguile. ; ..r ' .'. .-.'' Oh, brother Republicans, can we Not foresee our fate? - We're simply dunces in our country And curses t tmr State. February In 190S. , 7htalendar of 1908 shows a pe culifrv.y in February not often to be : seen. The first day of February fell : upon aSaturday and ttob last of the , the month happens on the same day I of the week. In February Vof . 1908, therefore, -there are' fiveSatardays. Similar conditions onfy happen once in 28 years. Bi-Weekly, 35c. per year. CURE Nil! REPUILUISIl Take 12 ounces of the principles of "Equal rights to. all, one pound of dislike f ir the durri trusts, ' 8 r uuoes of the powder of ."political' purify," a handful tf hatred ior high tariff, a Epocnful of jalap juice of Jeffersonian prineiplrs and a large sprig of the present panic. Set these over the wild fire tf Republican wrongs, sweeten with the sugar of "Special privileges to none." Put it into the '"".empty.- cavity above your "Adam's apple," cork it up with the cork of common sense, and let it remain forever. This done, you will find instant re lief, and will never more be called the "moss-back" Radical that you are. : "' This is a copy of THE HORNET, the hottest- Dem cratic paper in America. It is small, but will get larger; it is hot; and will never get any cooler; it is a stunter as well as a stinger; it ib yet an infant, but bleeps hy ltself ; last, but by no wise least, it . is the only thing of all larger good things in the sea of Democratic jour nalism. It is our forte to sting, bite and fighfefor pnre Democrat ic principles,, the kind that Thomas Jefferson bariied in his breast seven days in a week. We are determined to distinguish THE HOR NET as t her hottest babe that was ever folded within Demooratic arms. Its tem perature is far beyond nor mal and still heating. It preaches Dmooratio gospel so plain that the wayfaring Republican, though a fool, need not continue in his course. Please look over this o ;y of THE HORNET. If it Is the thing you- want, take it. If you are a democrat, you will want it. At all times, and for most all purposes, address THE "HORNET, ' Bixby, N. O. crater X t I
