overflow of our prosperity has

Tiie next general assembly will
contain 85 Republicans and 51
Democrats and Progrogressives,
giving Judge LeBarren D. Colt,
Republican candidate for United
States senate, majority of 34 on
joi'^t ballot. The Republicans

Roosevelt Extends ^Congrfttolations
to Progresdve Party.
New York, Nov. 11. —Theodore
Roosevelt ^made a formal state
ment tonight bearing upon elec
tion and jthe ^future of the Pro
gressive party. In line with pre
vious expression of his own, and
of his colleagues, he reiterates
that “that Progressive party has
come to stay,” and ‘’so far from
being over, the ijbattle has just
beran.'
‘I congratulate the pro^es-
sive of the country—-that is, I
congratulate these good men and
women who, ^with sincerety of
purp»e for the common good,
had the vision to look into the
coming years and see what the
future demands from u?,
"What the Progressive party
has done since the theft of the
Republican organization by the
Republican bosses at Chicago
last June is literally unparalied
in the history of the free govern
ment, worked tinder representa
tives institutions.
“Three months have gone by
since the new Pro ?ressive party
was founded. Without much
money, without any organization
against the wealth of the coun
try against the entire organized
political ability of the country,
against ^.he bitter hostility of 90
per cent of the press of the
country against the fuidous op
position of every upholder of
special privileges, .whether in
politics or in business and with
the channels of information to
the public largely choked, the
Progressive party has polled be
tween 4,000,000 and 4,5000 votes
social and industriai justice. So
far from being over, the battle
has just begun.
‘ ‘We will not rest content until
every feature of the Progressive
program has been put into effect;
and |when this has Sbeen done,
unquestionably there will have
opened to us new avenues along
which it will still be a duty to
work for the moral and economic
betterment of our people.”

Foust Familj Reimion Iq
Old Home
A happy and genume suprise
was given Saturday to- Thomas
C. Foust, who lives one mile'
south of Graham, when all his
sons and daughters and their
families joined him in a celecra-
tion of his birthday. His children
had planned the reunion with
out informing, either Mr. Foust or
his wife and came with well filled
baskets. It was the first time
in many years the entire family
had'gathered in the old home.
Mr. Foust who is hearty and
strong and who enjoyes the
best of health, early Saturday
morning he left the dwelling for
a large corn pile, remarking that
he must get it shucked as soon
as possible. The shucks were
flying when a messenger from
the house told him some company-
had arrived.
'Oh, well’ said he I reckon
the company can get along with
out me’ and he pulled the shucks
from anotiier ear.
The eonipany continued to
has hopelessly beaten one of the j arrive, however, and in a few
old parties, both in the electorial! minutes as cue of his sons

PROaJUMHOLYWAR
IN TURKEY TO AID
DEFENSE OF CAPITAL
Constantinople, Nov. 8.—The
Slfelk-Ui-islarn, head Of the hie
rarchy in Turkey, to-day issued
the following ‘appeal for a holy
war in a manifests addressed to
the Ulemas and Hodlas:
“With a view to exciting and
encouraging the soldiers the
enemies who surround us; their
priests cross in hand are working
in the ranks of tihe army; It is
not fitting that our Ulemas should
neglect the accomplishment of a
similar duty.
“In order that the victory and
glory promised by the Almighty
may be granted without delay to
the Ottoman army it is necessary
that the venerable Ulemas organ
ize a Jihad.
‘ ‘Such a holy war has, more
over, become an obligation if the
condition of the Ottoman soldiers
whoali are heroes, is to be streng
thened.
“Ulemas who feel that the
posses the aptitude and strength
to participate in this importont
task are invited to present them
selves immediately at the Shelk-
Ui-Islamat, which will send those
selected to the army?”
There have been rumors for a
day or two that the ministry wa^'
unstable, owing to its request for
mediation by the European pow
ers, but the newspapers say this
situation has j^ven way '.before
the demand of the array and of
public eopinion that the war be
continued. '
Tiie common danger seems to
have iinited all parties. This is
shovv’n by the peri’erved. outburst
of thii ne';vspapers of all poiitical
siiadas! ur.g’ing a light to a finish.-
The exDianatioa of this new-'
Na27
obtain the adherence of the triple
alliance—Germny;Ai^t^a and
It^y—to a policy of
erestedhess” before undeirtaking
mediation; but theis succeisis is
doubtful. -
It appears that F^nce, Russia
and Great Britian sid^ viiith the
Balkan allies, while Geiinany*
Austria and Italy, lean toward
Turkey. The upshot of this
situation is awaited here with
some concern. ; V' .
; A diispatch from H^emkeui
states that the Ottoman troops
occupied Visa, south of .Tiraovo,
and have advanced as far as
Kavakly. The Bulgarians have
hot occupied ChoruL
naissances in that direction have
resulted in finding thousands of
Bulgarians dead;
Tcherke^keul is in wi^feless
communication with ’ Adrianople
where the situation is decided to
be favorable. It is aspert^ that
the city may hold out fOr several
months, ^
Fre^h troops are reaching
Chorlu from Makrikeui,* and
reinforcements landed at Midia,
on the Black sea, continue to join
the right wing of the Turkish
army. The reservists from Con-
stantinoplie have proved them
selves excellent soldiers and are
fighting' with great courage.
Abdullah Pasha is in command of
the Turkish forces at Tcherkes-
skeui and Mukhatar Pasha at
Visa.
'Yes’' he mused the thoughtful
thinker “it’s a sure sign. ”
“What’s a su,;e sign?” he was
asked.
“That when a young man begins
to know that he doesn’t know as
much as he thinks he knows, V
then he begins to know some
thing.” • , ’:

This Progressive party has come
to stay. If either of the old
parties will endeavor to put into
legislation any one of our planks
it can count upon our hearty
support in so doing; but we will
not rest contented until the entire
platform is enacted into law, and
becomes part of our political
system, national and state.
