Now, that's goltix some, you'll have to ad mlt. Most ludicrous of all, after got linn away with this lightning-like change, the Colonel has tho nerve to chide liryan on dropping lfi-to-1. It seems to be art amazing thing to him that In face of tho changed conditions liryan should drop the policy which ho once advocated. And at the same lime the Colonel has rightabout-faced on his whole program! It 1b to laugh. "Confession of faith." Still in the religious atmosphere, keep that in mind. It Ib un Interesting document, well worth reading an a general treat i"o on eeimomli; social and political ti I 'cs.

When it com.-a to national Is-uies uion which the campaign Ih to bo fciighl. the Colonel has said Mttlo tint !s now or illuminating.

PoBing as wholly above partlsarmhip, Roosevelt shows In his references to the Baltimore convention that he Is still a rank partisan. In spite of the fact that ilryan cleaned up on the boB.'ios at Baltimore, in his effort to discredit the Democratic party and its nominees, tho Colonel asserts that the bouses and the Interests dominate the convention. No motive for such misrepresentation can bo found other than his desire to gain political ad vantage for himself and that doesn't look well In a warripr for the Lord. The battle of Armageddon is always on. Mr. Bryan has been foremost in it and Wood row Wilson Is a great cap tain In the fight now. All sincere re formers are soldiers in the ranks. The Bull Moose and hia followers cannot arrogate to themselves all the glory in the cause. A Bplendid opportunity to put one over the powers of darkness is before the country and a triumph can be won only iiy standing steadfast In the ranks of the captains named at Baltimore. PETTY THANKS FRIENDS, "I am ju..t as tiiale! uJ. to the friend who blood by nio as 1 would have bvcu if 1 had ibeeu elected," said George Petty today. "I am not a Bull Moose, by a long Bitot, and 1 am for the win ning ticket and can be depended upon to do my best to bring about success at the polls in November. The lK'oplo of tlrady county have been very kind to me and I want to thank them Unit." EXPRESS PACKAGETTES. BRADLEY I ' GRATEFUL. I wish, through tho Express, to ex press my sincere thanks to the voters of Crady county for the honor which they havo conferred upon me. No man appreciates more than I the loyal supiwt of his friends and all who stood by me have my warmest grati tude. It will be my purpose to serve the people of Grady county so well that I may deserve the confidence that the people have shown in me. Respectfully, F. P. BRADLKY. Tht trouble was that we didn't have enough offices to "go 'round." However, there Is one more good Job still open to patriots the poetofflce, The man worth the while is the man who can smile as he sails up Salt river. No fellow is quite so foolish as the one who falls out with his neighbor over iolit!cs. Coo. Petty says he Isn't a bit sor. only an attack of rheumatism that' making him limp about. The next batch of "returns" vhieh we await with some Interest will come from the corn and cotton crop. Lives there a man with soul so deal who never to himself hath said. "1 also ran?" Li Reno Democrat. I'ncle Si says he'd like to know what's become of the dad blame croak er who said it wouldn't ralu any more. And now for a short time the spell binder will give us a rest all ex cept the Socialists who, like the brook, "go on forever." Tom Taylor paid a visit to the cob bler yesterday, lie says he would have won all right If he had worn out one more pair of shoes. Possibly there , may bo a prouder one than Dr. Kiddle since it is over. but we doubt it. The doctor has prov ed his ability to "come back." Knowing that Teddy's mind waa al ready made up about accepting it, they didn't keep him in suspense by post poning his notification for a month. Sister Lillian Kussoll observes that beauty of face and form Is an expres sion of intelligence, meaning doubt less that it Implies genius in the gen tle art of "making up." PARRISH PROUD OF FRIENDS. "It is Impossible for me to tell how proud I am of my friends and what they have done for mo," said Kd Par ilKji, nominee for county commission er in the northern district, who was In town yesterday. "I had a hard race but they stood by me nobly, doing to much more than I could have asked. Men like Taft and Wilson don't look like l!0 cents to me, as compared with these friends of mine they got their nominations through politics, ibut this was friendship. I appreciate every thing that they did for me from tho bottom of my heert." FROM DR. RIDDLE. , To the Vetera of Grady County: It is with profound gratitude that 1 send you those greetings. Your confi dence In me expressed at the polls on August 6 places me under renewed obligations and Inspires me with greater determination to achieve for you that relief that you so much noe.l in the way of tax reduction and poll:! cal reform. I assure you that I shall be faithful to every trust and shall, il elected In November, give every ounce of energy and -ability that I possess to the cause of the people in their effort to be free and prosperous. 1 beg lo acknowledge myself your faith ful Bervant.

Haskell Issued the following state-: niont: "I do not believe 1 am defeated, "n my judgment the race Is very cIohc. If I am defeated at all it is by the conspiracy of the Ilepublieau machine of the state, and while they have vio lated the law of the state in voting in a Democratic primary, yet I can readily understand that there wort reasons why they should be anxious to defeat -me. I certainly have been one of the Democrats who stood In the way of tht success of the Republi can machine. Senator Owen will work Industriously to carry out the policies advocated in his campaign literature. Ho will certainly do the country a great service, but do not misunder stand me, it will take the full returns from the entire state to settle he ties tiou as to whom Hie Democrats have chooi-n for their senator.
