A YOUNG VOTER REPLIES TO THE BULLETIN The Republicans don't like to hear the truth, do they? In this week's issue of The Bulletin is an article replying to the article "Why My First Vote Will HQ a dem ocratic v ote. They did not deny that there were negro Registers of Deeds, negro members of School Boards, negro magistrates and many other negro officers under Republican rule and ruin. And I did not praise the Wilson ad ministration, did I? I took it for tranted that all sensible people know as much about the Democratic admin istration as I do, especially those that read. We have never had a nobler man in the Presidential chair since the days of Thomas Jefferson. The lead ing Republican papers admit that themselves. Your own Hon. Teddy Rosevelt is supporting a Democrat for Governor of the state of Pennsylvania. Y'ou Republicans are bushwhacking the county and trying to demoralize our present public school system. My young friend, do you think you should support a party that is doing all in their power to destroy our public school system ? Y'ou did not say if you had the pow er what you would do about putting the negro back in power, did you ? You would have negro magistrates, deputy sheirffs, school committeemen and any other offices they would ac cept. 'Not one word why a man should vote the Democratic ticket. rirst, for self-respect; for the protection of my sisters and mother against the outrageous acts of negro officers as in the days of fusion. No young man who has any self-re spect at all would vote to associate himself with a negro. You Republicans are not improvers of good roads, are you? Well, then. all our road building would stop. What shame and disgrace to andolph countv. "This boy'' ! a believer in the prin ces lh:;t Thomas Jefferson advo ted. and is therefore a Jefferson Democrat. My young friend, how many parties mve a natural death and been burie,' since the Democratic party was organised by the immortal Thomas Jefferson? The Republican party has Been tne last one. Get your history and you can soon find out. "Go vote silently." Y'ou can only vote the Democratic ticket in silence. A man who lives in a glass house mu.-t not throw stones. Verv trulv vours, A YOUNG VOTER. THE EUROPEAN WAR The battle for the Straits of Dover. one of the most sanguinary of the war, euimiiuiiig wnn unanatcd lury, but thus far without either side gaining decided advantage. The Germans, who at terrible cost in life, last Saturday crossed the Y'ser Canal between Nieuport and Dixmude ive not been able to make further progress, as the allies, acording to a report of German Genera! Headquar ters, issued Wednesday morning, are obstinately defending their positions. it is tne same farther south, around Armenticres, Lille, Labasse and Ar- Ihe opposing armies are deliv ering fierce attacks, gaining or losing a lew miles or less of ground with siurificrs in life that are appalling. e wnoie countryside is fairly reek- r with the blood of thousands of killpd or wounded. In the towns and villaces. with which the country is dotted and most of which have been laid in ruins by the artillery, most desperate fighting nas occurred when the cavalry and in fantry came into contact. Both sides speak of heavy losses they have ira posea on tneir adversaries, but say nothing of their own dead or wounded whose places are being filled with re- miorcements. The British fleet which did such ex ecution in bombarding the German flank, seems to have withdrawn. The Germans say this was because their artillery was beginning to reach the ships, llie belief is expressed, how. ever, that the fleet will be able to ren der untenable German occupation pf any part of the Belgian or French coast. The opinion also is expressed tnat the operations of the a! ted ves sels off the Belgian coast and in the vicinity of the Straits of Dover may cause the German fleet to come out and give battle.
