the prlmnry-partlclpallon obligation by

before Woodward withdrew. The
tragic mystery of the three dally pa

souls with a single thought, four
hearts that beat s« one—pounding with
their rama at the door of Woodward'a

to overwhelm him with a feeling of
goneness and despnlr. He doubtless
felt deserted, and that he must oaplt

even hie aide arms. It was like eg

the possibility of riot and bloodified

What Interests at the North? Not
the capitalistic, for that stands behind
the Republican party. Not the llearst

Not th« Socialist Interests, for that
would be a frightful leap In the dark.
There ta nothing to be done but stick
to tho old Democratic ship, load up
with tho proper ammunition, and put
the right kind of a captain on tho

mere college professor or newspaper
editor whose expressions on this sub
ject they are wont to deride.
Mr. Carnegie, for example, effectu

Has Mr. Woodward considered the

Although the Republican campaign
fund by official showing was nearly
Ihrse times as large as tho Democratic,
we may safely conclude that the elec

country has seen In yenrs—(banks to
the Democratic demand for publicity,
llonest so far as actual bribery was
concerned, but not fair either on the
part of the partisan Roosevelt gov
ernment or the labor-employing back*
era,of the Republican party. Work
ingmen were coerced by the threat of
the rich everywhere to "draw In and
not Invest a oent” If Bryan should be
elected. There waa less actual bribery
than usual, but the people were not
left In real freedom to vote as they
chose.

Is merely a tax on the luxuries of the

Last week the Press addressed i

the Democratic party and seeking to

for democratic followers to pursue.
On Monday the Press printed an

ton. the editor of The Macon Tele

Free trade ts a cardinal demo
cratic principle. It should always
be pressed by genuine democrats.
Of course what Mr. Pendleton said
wss that freer trad# to a cardinal
democratic principle, and not "free
trade." No one wants free trade: that
ta, absolutely Impossible. A revenue
tariff eoaled to meet the expenses of
the government would afford a large
amount of protection. But protection
should be an Incident to the tariff,
