They are afraid they'll ret caught and they aren't disposed feeling o to atir up any more in on the part of the general public. They are aware of the fact laat the public's patience had been " attained juat about to tha breaking point, and they aren't taking any sere risks. Of course, aome ia com ing la at tha back door. It's fool ish talking about stopping campaign ' contributions from the corporations altogether. The 'vested Interests' have got too much at stake not to want to put the party under aome obllgationa so aa to prevent adverse legislation. And" then you know 5 there never waa a politician's heart ao bard that It didn't soften at the eight of a fat little dough bag. He Juat naturally can't resist It - "But though occasionally a little lamp cornea in that cheers our hearts, times aren't like they used to-be. The campaign managers for the Republican party are doing some . pretty close figuring on expennea, let me tell you. You'd be surprised If yoa knew some of the economies that have to be Inacted. "You aee this election 'depends on the vote of the up-State farmers. They are the deciding factors this time. New York city will be a cinch for Hearst Well, heretofore we have alwaya been paying the farmer voters' 'team hire'. The average up State farmer Is a shrewd old scala wag. He'd knock -ou down in a . second If you offered him 16 out right for his vote, but If you simply hand him a 'V for the time and trouble consumed In hitching up his horses to drive In to the polling place-, why he'll naturally vote the way you hint at lust because you have been ao thoughtful and friend ly. And thla year Willie Hearat la paying the 'team hire', aee?" HUGHES MEN CONFIDENT. However, the supporters of Hughes appear confident. They aav there's going to be some surprises yet. Down In broad street, where the curb brokers seethe and ahout, bet ting has been brisk for aome time, with the odds on the Republican candidate. Hughes Is being backed steadily at 3 to 1. Just last Monday a broker who Is said to be an agent for John W. dates, the Wall atreet plunger, put up 130.000 to 110,000 that Hughes would win. The campaign Is certainly warm ing up these last few days and the epithets that are flying about are calculated to Jar severely a man with a sensitive nervous system. Mr. Hearst la no mean adjective sllnger. .Here are a few examples. Hughes "The Ananias candi date; an animated feather-duster," Jerome "A crotnn bug." Judge Parker "A cockroach." Jenator McCarren "A reeking criminal." On the other hand Jerome calls "Willie "a political mountebank "; Senator Bailey duba him " a political lehmaellte; Mr. Hughes "a political assassin;'' and now Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler, the eminent divine, has come to the front -with a sermon- In which he declares that Hearat Is "a Self seeking, self -nominated and self. advertiad plutocrat" who would "de-gj Bla the White House with his eaoa." prje- Looking over these endearment! it would see that a good way to have and maintain a good reputation la to stay out of politics. TALKING MACHINE CAMPAIGN. A unique feature of Hearst's can didacy is his moving picture and talking machine campaign. Five crews, armed with olographs nd graphophones, left the city Monday te give residents of even the remotest rural sections an opportunity to hear Hearst by machine and ae him re produced aa In life upon canvas, the moving pictures portraying him In the act of making a campulgn ad dress. While he Is out of the city, the papers that oppose hi in are making a great deal out of the fact that Hearst, Individually and through his various corporate Idontltlea, Is the defendent In various libel and dam age suits aggregating; the enormous total of I7,600.0U0. They say this farnlsh a reason why he is so dn slrous of landing his friends and al lies on the Supreme Court bench. - IfM Developed Into an Able P,-ekr. . Wedesboro MesenKr-IntelllaW'er.

Ordinance a Sort Of Force UU1, and Worthy, of Jltuuia. To tho Editor f , Tha Observer. Knowing that your paper ia alwaya open to both arfdea of every question we make free to ask . apace In ' Its columns to defend ourselves against the aspersions and bitter attacks nade at a recent meeting ty some few eitlaens of Charlotte, It is not our purpose to take up the fight' for the other plumbing es tabllslunenta. Other firms . may pre sent their cases to . tho public, and protect their rights In whatever way they deem beat. Oolng Into tntslnesa leas than a year ago, K waa then, and ever since, haa been our highest ambition to win the respect and con- ndenoe of our fenow cltliens, by do ing business upon a high plane. At this meeting the contracting plumbers attended -ae Invited guests of the city council, and as auch felt secure againat vilification and unwar ranted attacks, but In this they were mistaken, as some of tha speakers were both violent and profane. Dr. I. W. Falcon, an uneurpaaaed enthusiast for the welfare of the people, opened the proceedings by hurling an explosive at the "robber plumbers." By hia own confession, the doctor had been a diligent search er after truth, keeping his oar steadily to the earth, and listening attentively to all complaints; hence, hia charges are based on hearsay. Ir. Fatson said ha "had heard com plaints on every corner." "I have heard that these plumbers refuse to hit a man ride to hla work they want hrfcm to walk, In order to kill time." Horrible! Our plea to thla Insinuation Is that our company twa been too poor to buy outfits for auch purposes. However, we fear that the poverty plea will come as a far cry to those who have had an Ink Una; aa to the gold mine we are developing on "plumbers row." From that reliable and exhauatless source of supply, the "corners." Dr. Falson draws the Inference that there are many things 'rotten In Den mark," which la. we suppose, another name for "plumbers row." Among other thing's the doctor said, "I understand," comer news of course, "that master plumbers have a meeting nearly every day.'' We must combat that assertion, even though the news was obtained at the "cor ners." Our custom era havs kept ua too busy to meet so often. Semi monthly Is Just aa often aa we can spare the tune to meet. Furthermore, the doctor said, that he "understood" from the usual souurce "that the plumbers kept within a few dollars uf each other on prices for con Can What advertisement occupied this space last Sunday! Don't you remember two animals and a vehicle? Then came a trade mark, consisting of the 25th and 2nd letters of the alphabet with an be tweei.

When this waa shown.' both DT. fataoa and Mr. W. F. Dowd .frankly admitted that tha prices for plumbing were not unreas onable. ; ; y i,.' ;j nv,: ':t;:'"';::':Vf.yf . ' Cot A.

Keealer entered tha arena In regular fighting trim and began to hurt hla fiery ahaafta right and left. Suddenly the air became sulphurous. His speclflo charge was that, "It la a derned hard matter to get any of these plumbers to do a small repair Job."
