Let this be generally knojyn it will refute the Radical riiKfranrhispment lie. In a letter to the ninety wevefl Democratic county chairman, State Chairman Simmons, in discussing the Election Law; as it is appli cable to registration, refers also to the payment of poll tax, and says: Vlt.will annenr from an examination of the ;amend- mentandof the Election Law that the nonpayment of polNtax is not a disqualifica tion" for registration, but under both the amendment and the Ele-tion Law no one is entitled to vote unlesi he hall have paid his poll-tax on or before the first day ofjrepreflenting the facts. In May of the present year, un h-ss he has bpcome of age since the first day of Jims, 1901, (the. day for listing taxes, for thtfprevioua year), or. unless he was over fifty years of age oh the first day of ,lune, l"(iif or has under the law been relieved from the payment of poll tax by the coupty commissioners. In other words, when the elector offers himself for reg letration. it is not necessarv that he shall exhibit his poll tax receipt or show that he bus paid bis poll tax for the previous yeAr, but after be has registered and before he is allowed to cast his vote it is necessarj that he shall ex hibit to the Judges of election his Doll tax receipt, or show to the satisfaction of the judges of election that he has paid said. tax.' unless he ex hibits his rereipt or shows that his poll tax has been paid he cannot vote. This npplies to everybody except the persons mentioned above. to wit: those wro have been relieved by the commissions ers of ; poll tax or have bpcome of agesinco June 1, 1901, or had pnsspd the poll tax age at that time. This is a complete answer to.uli the talk of Republicans about the disfranchisement of white men for thp non pay ment of poll tax. The Legis lature of 1901 purposely pro vided for registration with out payment of poll tax. The object was to allow all uned ucated whites to register un der ' the grandfather clause THE WORST FORM. Mul tudes arc singing the praise of Kodol, the new discovery that is ma kin? so many sick people well and weak people strong by digesting what they eat, by cleansing and sweetening the 6torr.ach and by transforming their, food into ' the kind of pure, rich, red blood that makes you feel good ail over. Mrs. Cranfill, of Troy, I., T., writes: '! for a number of years was troubled with indigestion and dyspepsia that grew into the worst form. Finally I whs induced to try Kodol and after using four bottles I am entirely cur ed. I heartily recommend Kodol to all sufferers from indigestion or dvs pepMA.' Take a dose after each meal. It digests what you eat. T. J. Coffey and Bro. during the eight years that the books for registration up der this clause are open, so thathis right to vote; might be preserved during the 1 rest of hia life.;Thus the preserya tion o the franchise of the uneducated white man is not made', to depend, upon the payment of poll tax. lie may register at any time during these eight years, although he may not pay his poll tax and although he may n o t vote or qualfy himself to vote during the tiuip. When ever, at any time during thp balance of his life, he' wishes to qualify bimspH to vote by paving poll tax, he can do ro. He will be registered on the permanent roll and his ight of frnnchisp preserved. It will thus be seen that the right of iran-hise in N. 0. mder the law" does not dp pent! upon payment df poll tax. The. right to exercise the franchise does depend upon the payment of poll tax but the right of franchise it self does not, .Hence - the nb surdity of the Republican contention that the non pay tnent ol poll tax disfranchises a whie man. If Piitchard ft Co. desire to treat the people fairly, they will apologize for mis 1900 the told the people that if the amendment was adopted it would disfranchise forever all white men who are not educated. 1 his year they say that all white men who have not paid their poll tax are disfranchised. The let ter of Chairman Simmon shows that the last state ment is as false as the first, and there is not a scintilla of truth in either. A Typical South African Store. O. R.

Chairman Babeosk on the "Issues.'1 This paper has called atten tion oh several occasions to he amusing1 disparity be ween the political opinions of Congressman Babcock and the party views of Chairman Unbcock of the JJongression- al campaign CommKtee.TAs Representative of the third district of Wisconsin Mr. Bab cock delivered some very bold and 'sensible utterances on the question of cutting down the tariff and depriv- ng those industries that are no longer 'infant' of the pro tection they have enjoyed or sjo many years. This sentiment was regard ed as significant of the prob able atitude of the party of which Mr. Babcock is a mem beron the question of tariff revision. Congressman Bab ock was generally commend ed for his independence and courage, But now listen to Chair man Babcock. In an inter view in New York he is quo ted as saying th.it 'the spen kipg campaign will be a de fense of I he Republican poli cy of protection and the gen era I prosperity resulting from that policy.' Asked what position the party would take on the Trust question in the campaign hesaid: 'The Republican party has a rec ord on the Trust question that was made in Congress Here we have the official an nouncement of the Chairman of the Congressional Cam paign Committee that the Re publican speakers this fall will not waste theireloquence on the desert air, of Lew and liveissuss. They will defend the ancient principle of 'pro tection and prosperity,' Why should the spell-binders and catDDaicn literature of the party be devoted to a de fense of prosperity or protec tion? Protection, as a sound economic principle for new countries, where it is neces sary to develop domestic in dustry. is generally accepted. The question is, Should the protection be continued cn the "infant industries" that have grown into,great mo nopolies and that are selling in Europe cheaper than in America? We refer Chair man Babcock to Congress man Babcock for an answer to this question. As for prosperity the kind that reaches all the ppople it needs no defense. Ou the question of Trusts Chairman Babcock says his party made a "record ' in the jMltysixth Congress, although he con cedes the party in the ma ioritv was unable to effect any legislation. But there has bepn a new Congress in session since the Iifry-sixth. How far must we go back for the record of a party on a live isjue of to day? Iu the Fifty-sevputh Congress not a word was nt tpred on the subject of con trolling the Trusts, nnl no measure for their regulation was advocated or enat-ted into law. Isn't the Congres sional "lecord" of the party now in power on the subject of Trusts one of Silence and inaction? We appeal from Chairman Babcock of the campaign committee to Representative Brfbrork of the Third Wis cousin district. Chicago 1W oruUcru!d (R;i.; ", Pluck barn in Stanley .

He has no argument to offer, nor d(Ms he discuRS is- sues." He presumes upon the gnorance of his bearers and leads them to believe that a vote for the Republican tick et is equivalent to a vote for good crops and -high priced cotton. He told his hearers what American- citizenship means, and of what a great person Uncle Sam is abroad under a republican nd minis. (ration, but- how insignifi cant under a Democratic. His speech was noted for high sounding platit udes. At times his language was neither haste nor elegant despite the fact the ladies were pres ent. He. seemed to be proud of his fine appearance ns the peacock docs for its plumage and his every act and utter ance is pregnant with the suggestion that "I am Con pressman Blackburn, and you are a ''darn" fool if you don't vote for me." No one who heard him won dered why he did not meet Hon. Theo. F. Klnttz in a joint canyass. His empty ut terances would fall as fast under Mr. Kluttr's withering response as do the faded leaves under the blasts of autumn, rso, Mr. blackburn was afraid of his opponent and is simply too big n cow ard to face him. H knows that if the fallacious state ments contained in his speech are once exposed his chances would be small. His ability as a Congress man is measured by his abili tv at iDeech making.
