if every corporate influence in
the State were arrayed against him.
Many of the Republican tax dodgers'
votes will be offset by those of the
Democratic farmers. This is something
the Democratic politicians
have not been reckoning on, but they
will find that it is an important factor
they had overlooked. The farmers,
like all other people, have been
giving a good deal of their time to
the study of the new tax laws during
the past few weeks, and many Democrats
who see the benefits that are
to come from them have told us they
will support Mr. Dawson?that so far
as they can they will see that he does
not suffer at the hands of the taxdodging
corporations. Not a few
liave also said that they will not only
vote for Mr. Dawson but will vote
for the Republican legislative candidates,
in order that he may be surrounded
by his friends and the
friends of the tax measures.
"In a speech in the Flat Top region
1 was advocating a moderate tax upon
the production of coal An operator
took issue with me, claiming it was
not right. I told him that I could
prove to him that these laws passed
at the extra session would place a
more burdensome tax upon him than
the moderate tonnage tax suggested
by the tax commission. I asked him
what the Flat Top coal lands were
worth, and he said he would not take
$500 an acre for them. Now, there
are 9S.OOO acres of that land, and it
assessed at $25 an acre. At the pros
ent State tax rate of 35 cents that coal
land pays $S,000 to the State. Assess
it at $500 in 190G, the true and actu '
value, and though the rate is reduced
to 13 cents the taxes to the
State will amount to $00,000. -It is
confiscation."?John H. Holt in tin.

We know of no Marlon county Re
publicans who will vote for Corn-well,
but if there be any we want to tell
them that his election and the machinery
he would have by reason o**
his appointments would make it difficult.
to elect a Republican legislature
two years hence when a successor
is to be elected to Senator Elkins.
No friend of the latter can afford to
vote for Cornwell, for it die should receive
a* large vote and yet be defeated
it would be interpreted to mean
that the Republicans are wavering
and consequently there will be a
fighting chance for the Democrats at
the next election.
Let's .suppose for the moment that
Cornwell might be elected. Have Republicans
thought of what would follow?
Are they aware that Cornwell
would have from. 1,000 to 1,200 appointments
to make and that his appointees
would be politicians in every
instance? These follows would be
very much in the way of those Republicans
who are knocking against
Dawson when at a future time they
may have a candidate they would
like to see elected. Any Republicans
now aiding Cornwell are trying to
give him a club with which sooner
*-?t* 1 fot- tlioTt* mvn would
broken.
The Times says 'Republican odds
are getting very weak," and then proceeds
to give the news showing that
the odds are 5 to 1 on Roosevelt,
as to the general result; Roosevelt to
carry New York, 2 to 1; even money
that Roosevelt will have 300 electo
ral votes. Tn the name of high
Ifeaven, what does the Times call
strong odds, if it considers these
weak?
The State lost a good man. and the
Republican party a valued leader in
the death of Thos. E. Davis, of Graf
ton. In all respects he was a good
citizen and was respected by everyone
who knew him. His death .will
be universally regretted.
A man who is twenty-one years old
and of sound mind, certainly won't
believe the Democratic campaign lies
sprung at the last minute.
If the head of our ticket doesn't
have front 1.200 to 1,500 majority tomorrow
in this county we shall he
surprised and disappointed.
That "endless chain" which gives
the Times such a spell of the jimjams
will do a plenty to its defunct
old party lo-morrow.
Republicans do a good deal of talking
about scratching, but when i: '
comes to a show down they generallyvote
all right.

cry of "Stop, thief!" and adopted the
tactics of the gang by which- he Is

corrupt and corruptible politician in
the Nation? And then there is Sheehan,

McDonald of the Street Railroad

And yet are these not honorable

Polk did not do this, Pierce did not
do it, nor Buchanan, nor McCIellan,
nor Hancock, nor Tilden, nor Cleveland.

and right, on the one side, and

(New York World, March 1C, 1001.)
The anti-trust law was framed by a
Republican, was passed by a Republican
House and a Republican Senate,
was signed by a Republican President.
The law remained a dead letter on
the statute books during the entire
second term of Cirover Cleveland, a
Democratic President.
Through those four years of Democratic
administration all appearand
all efforts of the World to have
the law enforced were met with
sneers, jeers and open contempt frotn
a Democratic Attorney General, Richard
Olney, who pretended that tinlaw
was unconstitutional and who
would do nothing toward prosecuting
violators of if.
The first effort to enforce the law
was made by Theodore Roosevelt, a
Republican President.

prosecute offenders and re
test the law was a Republican attorney

The dissenting minority of the

Justice Fuller, of Illinois, Mr. Justice
White, of Louisiana, and Mr. Justice
Peck, of Mew York.
THE ONE ISSUE.
The Democrats having abandoned j
every vital issue of the campaign,
the only question to be decided at
the polls is whether we shall retain
Theodore Roosevelt and a Republican
administration, insuring peace,
prosperity and progress, or turn the
government over to IV! r. Parker, a
trust promoter, a trust-made candidate,
a free trader, a scuttler, a tool
of corrupt men and corrupt methods.
Make your decision, voters, and make
it emphatic.
Speaking of taxes, we may remark
that if the pompous owner of t
rimes should be taxed according to
the value he puts upon himself an I
his importance there would be enough
revenue to run the Stale government
from that source alone and we would
hear nothing more about either tax
payers or tax dodgers.
Republicans can vote to-morrow
with the consolation that their votes
will he counted as cast, and that tliey
will not suffer if a recount should lie
lemanded, the machinery, etc., bong
in their own hands. Alas, it was
lot always thus.

'man. mast cast aside all the specionp
arguments he has listened to in the
campaign, all the political flubdub he
has read-and form his own judgment.
He must come to a conclusion reach_
. * SrW
ed out of experience and observation.
What does the experience of the
past twelve years teach? Does it not
conclusively that the Democratic theories
of government have proven fallacious
"in practice, bringing disaster
to the country and to the individual?
Does it not, on the one hand, teach
that the operation of Republican politics
have resulted in a period o!
great prosperity and which give
promise, if continued, of bringing still
greater benefits?
If a man is fair and thoughtful and
logical; if he lets his mind run bach
just a few short years, he is bound
to come to that conclusion. Then
'the logical thing will be to vote with
the party whose policies have brought
good results, and vote against the pap
^ty whose theories when attempted tc
be put Into operation have brought ill
results.
It is a fact assured, just as sure
as death and taxes, that if the Demo
cratic party is put into power, it wil.
continue to try to enforce the theo
ries which have proven fallacious
The party has not changed, its lead

Congress will be controlled by the
Southern Bourbons and the Bryan
ites. That means free trade and ar
uncertain financial system. Thai
cannot be refuted. The Northern anc
Middle State Democrats will be in the
minority. They will not control the
committees and will not be able tc
swing the vote in the House.
If the conservative Democrats ol

lengths of the Southern Bourbons.
But they will not he permitted tc

The two Democrats at the head ol

ROOSEVELT VS. PARKER.
It was well, perhaps, that the Democratic
managers should in the early
part of the campaign make one of
the chief issues the personality of out
President, who is the Republican
candidate to succeed himself, and it
is also well, perhaps, that during the
closing days of this campaign Alton
P. Farker should make himself and.
his own personality an issue, to be
compared with the standing of liis
opponent, not only before the voters
of his own country, hut before the
people of the entire world. Theodore
Roosevelt during the past three
months has had every word he ha?
ever uttered and every act he has
ever done submitted to the* closest
scrutiny, and he has advanced most
wondrously in the esteem and respect
of his owa people and the people of
other nations. On the other hand.
Judge Parker. who started out as a
man or such high ideals?a man who
had been? honored as few other men
have been honored by the people of
his own State?has fallen perhaps
further and lower than any other
public man in the history of the
I'nited States.
The issne is certainly well defined,
and, laying aside all other public issues
and the principles put forth by
both parties, and laying aside every
possible issue concerning the welfare
of the country, we can well afford to
submit the personalities of our President
and the Democratic candidale
for President to the decision of the
American people to-morrow. The decision.
we beiieve. will lie most emphatic
and decisive, and will show to
the nations of the earth that die
American people believe in keeping
at the head of their national affairs
a man of the honor and integrity
and courage possessed by Theodore
Roosevelt, instead of turning it over
to a man with the characteristics dip
played by Alton B. Parker during
the closing days of our most interesting
campaign of 1904.

'l _e Republican State Committee
has discovered a desperate scheme
on. the .part of the?, Democrats to j
stuff the ballot box in Randolph I
county and has every reason to be- t
lieve that the same trick will be *
tried over the State. The Democtat
plan was to furnish Democratic elec- wn
tion officers with duplicate keys to At
the ballot boxes in Randolph so they
could stuff them with false ballots
and win out by grossest fraud. be
They also plotted to buy up Repub- th
lican election commissioners to In- 1,0
1 sure the success of this outrage on
| the.ballot. The scheme was exceed- by
ingly boldv and vicious in its concep ea
; tion and only goes to show to what J?
1 length the Democrats will go in their ^
effort to carry the State by foul rs
' frauds. Republicans everywhere to
should be on their guard on election ^
