DEMOCRATS WIN
HANDSOMELY
OFFICIAL VOTE GAVE
JOHNSON 1223, HICKS 293
Franklinton Township Only
One Giving Republican
Majority; Normal Repub
lican Vote in Others; Vot
ing Very Light
The results of Saturday's Spec
ial election gave evidence tlrtit
Franklin County Democrats are
still loyal to their party, even
though they have had no opposi
tion in twenty years or more, un
til on this occasion, when Jolyison,
Democrat, received 1223, and
Hicks, Republican, received 293.
The only township that gave a re
publican majority was Franklin
ton, which represents the first
time it has failed the Democrats
since 1896. when tihe whole Dem
ocratic ticket was defeated by the
fusion of the republicans and fus
ionists, with t'he single exception
of Sheriff Henry C. Kearney. The
action Saturday is attributed
largely to t'he lack of information
of the election, failure of the Dem
ocrats to realize the importance of
going out' find voting, and the loy
alty of the people to their town
ship candidate. All the rest of t/he
township cast about the usual re
publican vote. The official vote
by townships will be found in an
other column. "

In rpc?n? month* we have all
hen ril a meat, deal aliout the con
flict botween the Democratic anil
the Totalilariun [nrnis of govern
ments. We believe, and quite
right'ly. that our form of govern
ment in t-he United States is the
bent' on Qprtll. We believe in lite,
liberty and the right to develop
our personalities iu our own way.
We sometimes lose sight of t>h?
fact that Christianity and dejnoc
racy are synonymous; t-here can't
be oiie without the other. There
wert 110 democracies worthy of
the name before the Christian era.
The whole idea of the.Klngdom ot
Heaven is that of perfect <le
mocracy. In this counliugMhere
fore, we are building toward that
perfect State. It is well tt? re
member that our American De
mocracy is not perfect as yet> ?
buti because Democracy and Chris
tianity are synonymous It Ilea with
us, by the hettxTTST God, to make
our nation perfect. If we believe
this then we should remember
that the ChriaUan Church Is the
bulwark of democracy and that If
we neglect the church we lay our
selves open to any ism that comes
along. We believe In the demo-,
cratlc principles; then we must \
support the Christian Church.
