An exchange says that a party can always get a candidate. Yes. but i l-y can't always get him elected. In New York beta are being made ; to 1 on Taft. Wonder If It will move up to 1 G to 1 before it is over. Wonder if Messrs. Glenn and Ay cock will make speeches this fall for Mr. Chafln, the Prohibition candi date for President? The Springfield Republican and the Cincinnati Enquirer, former Democratic papers, have come out for Taft for President. Mr. Bryan is not saying anything to Mr. Van Cleave Baltimore Sun. For the reason there was nothing he could say without further hurting his cau.se. Congressman Champ Clark says that Missouri will go Democratic by a large majority. We are not from Missouri but you will have a show us all the same. The Democratic papers in the South are not having anything to say about the Democratic plank for free lumber. That plank was intended for Western consumption alone. The chairman of the Democratic I National Executive Committee says - they will not Use any tainted money. all the tainted money before usine' it There is one job the Democrats I are not scrambling for,, and that is collector of campaign funds for their party. Those who are now engaged in this work find it a hard job with small pay. An exchange states that a child m a certain Northern, state uvea 4 0 hours without any brains. We have heard that some of the grown ups in that section have lived over 40 years under the same difficulty. What is Craig looking for?

Some weeks ago the Republican Congresional Committee offered a prize of $150 for the best article on "Why the Republican Party Should Be Successful Next Novem ber." There were many competitors for the prize but it was awarded to Frank Hendrick, of New York, who submitted the folowing as to why the party should be sucecssful in November: "The Republican party was found ed on the principle that this govern ment was established to protect for all times the rights and opportuni ties of every individual from abridg ment. That principle it has success fully maintained. Through the Civil War it consecrated a reunited country to free and equal citizenship. It has kept the channels of Inter state Commerce open for all and, through the National Banking Sys tem, the refunding of specie pay ments, the Gold Standard and the Emergency Currency law, has sus tained the life current of national integrity. As trustee of the national wealth has investigated mineral regions, surveyed soils, developed waterways, including the Panama Canal, con served watersheds, and ,husbanded the public lands. Protecting Ameri can labor by regulating immigra- ion and by taking at the Custom House, to pay American taxes, for eign capital's advantage from low wages, it has preserved to American industries the home market of eighty millions of the world's great est consumers and so laid the surest basis for American competition in ioreign markets, uniting capital ana )n VvAii V-i.-'t in n AAmm am nvnanAitUir 1 - and commons source of increased re- Ward. it has created onnortnnltfes.

In 1806 business was committed to fair methods; without compulsion violations large ly ceased. The Republican party, at each pe riod, sounded the public conscience, felt the National pulse, framed its policies in response and realized In law the dominant American idea. Its constructive past assures its con structive future. It Is today as it always has been, "The Party Fit to Govern." ' Th Party of Statesmen. The party of statesmanship, It ha3 been the training school of states men. Its policies have been forged in the heat of public discussion, tem pered in the deliberation and shaped in the conflict of many trained minds, and drawn and finally wrought for the country's welfare. Dominating its members through principles, it assures unity in Gov ernment; its stauHchest partisans have made the greatest contribu tions to National progress. The ros ter of its leaders is the national roll of honor of public service. Taft and Sherman Constructive Can didates A Constructive Platform. Republicanism stands today for progressive policies in safe hands. By solving the constructive prob lems of world power in the last two administrations, William IL Taft taught the world our capacity and us his own. In all constructive leg islation for twenty years James S. Sherman has been a leader. In the records of the Republican candi dates as well as In the platform are written the story of the nation's progress and the reliance of the future. A Democratic President or a Dem ocratic House would turn back those pages; thereafter Bryanism would re-cord "Destruction." This the Re publican Senate could not prevent. Under Taft and Sherman and a Re publican Congress the great progress of the past will be held and the greater progress of the future will be assured. FARMERS' PROTECTIVE ASS'N.

Washington, D. C. Aug. 23. A well-developed case of leprosy has been discovered in a lodging house on Pennsylvania Avenue, conducted as a mission by the Salvation Army, and withjn two squares of the Capi tol. The subject, John Early, came to Washington six days ago from Lynn, N. C, and had gone freely about the Capital, eating at various restaurants, mingling with various people and using the street cars. The case was discovered by a phy sician called to attend Early for some minor ailment. He observed three suspicious-looking white spots on the patient a forehead, and ques tioned him. Closer inspection con vinced the phys'cian, who promtly telephoned the health authoritie5"of the District of Columbia. An ambu lance responded and carried Early to an isolated quarter of the Dis trict, where closer inspection was made. The health department of Washington has. officially pronounc ed the case one of leprosy. Has Family at Lynn. The patient is about thirty-five years old, has a wife and child in Lynn, N. C, with whom he lived until he came to Washington nearly a week ago. He had no knowledge of the secrious character of the dis ease, until informed by the physi cian. He says the first symptoms appeared about eighteen months ago ne ueiieves ne couiracieu uie disease wmie serving as a soldier in the Philippines. Early asked the health depart- ment to keep from his wife informa- tion as to the character of his ill- ness. rms Deing impossiDie ne ex- pressed a desire to return to his wife and child to be permitted to die near them "If this is not possible then I am perfectly willing to . remain right . . . i here or anywhere else the author!- ea may say until the end comes, said he SAMPSON REPUBLICAN CONVEX- TION Was A Large and Representative Convention Sampson Will Go Re- tonvenuon Sampson viuit.uivt- onblican by One Thousand This I publican by One Thousand Tl Fall.

After dAculDg gearal U- ue, be saia: "Everyone having the interest of tbe country at heart would rejolc to have tbe solid South as a Demo cratic aet in every national cam paign broken up. It would b bel ter for tbe states tbemaelves; It would be belter for tbe country. be Republican party 1 not the. sec tional party, which tbe fact that tbe South always supports tbe Demo- ratic party would indicate. "The Republican party has im proved tbe waterways, la building the 1'anama Canal and bas started tbe movement for the redemption of swamp lands; tbe eutlra conserva tion of forests and water resources. nd is taking many other step that are for tbe development of the south. "The growth and success of tbe mining and Iron Industries of the south are directly due to laws enact ed by tbe Republican party. In our 1 dependencies, when offices were to be filled in the I'hllllppfnes. I'orto Rica and Cuba, no attention baa been paid to the partisan proclivities of the appointees, and there are today n the Philippines aa many Demo crats as Republicans among tne Americans serving the government there. "Leading Democrats of tbe South hare complained, and with much ground, that men of tbe South have but little Influence In tbe executive branch of the government at Waah- ngtou. The reason Is that the south has always been considered by he Democracy, and especially the Northern Democracy, as a part of the country certain to support the Democratic ticket. "Therefore, when the Republican party is in power, it la not either natural or to be expected that It should summon to lta executive of fices the leading men from the op posing party in the South. The only way by which the South can cure this" matter la by independence of action and the support of the Re publican ticket. 'I know the South la a conserva tive portion of the country. By tra dition, its attachment to the Demo cratic party la firm; but a party represents principles, and when the principles change, though the name of the party remains the same. It would seem that, after a while, tbe traditional attachment to the party would rest lightly on an intelligent community. Still, there Is a politi cal habit, a political association which a conservative people hesitate to throw off. "Many Independent Democrats in the South agree with the Republican party in all Its main economic doc trines. 8ince 1890, the manufact uring Interests of the South have ex ceeded her agricultural Interests, the industrial expansion of the South ex ceeds that of any other part of tbe country, and is really the marvel of the world. "Its cotton manufacture.1, Its Iron manufactures have grown enormous ly, and tbe South today. In lta cot ton factories, In. its Iron factories, and in the sugar culture or Louis iana, Is more dependent for its busi ness prosperity on the maintenance of a reasonable protective tariff than any other community In the country. It 4s vitally interested that tbe com ing revision of tbe tariff shall be made upon protective principles and not with a view to the adoption of a revenue tariff. '"The Spanish war led to "the en tering of the flower of the young men of the Southern States into the army of the United States In order to uphold the country's cause. This did much to remove sectional feel ing lingering after the Civil War, and served to unite In a common , brotherhood the blue and the gray." i H 4 : I t ?
