Bhe leq Qounty Journal ——————— 1. B. TISON, Editor and Publisher. ; PUBLISHED BEMRY FRIDRY, e ‘Officlal Organ of Lee County, RS T A RO R R 3775 The Republican party seems to have become at least partly reconcided to the fact that Georgia Went Democratic, r——p AP Ml s Mr. Watson has served notice on the country that he doesn’t expect any thing and will therefore be dissapoint ed. ¢ ss s A Ay -- -y & Grrrtmpa Somebody has dug up the unpleasant fact that Candidate Tibbles’ letter cf ac ceptance has not yet been made public, Will that one end it? g oieyl A -l st e ‘‘Secretary Taft'’ says an exchange, ‘‘has now got his estimate of the cost of the Phillaphines to the United States down tc $189,000.000,”" And it is still several weeks until the day of the elect ion, The Secretary may be ableto scale off that odd $89,000,000 before Novem ber comes in, : e S e - The Philadelphin Record (Dem.) says: ‘lt is somewhat creditable to the Republi can newspapers that not one of them has undertaken to defend or apoligise for the reckless libels of Roosevelt upon the mem ories of Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jack son and nearly all his predecessors in the presidential office But what wodul be much more creditable to these Republican newspapers would be the condign repud iation of the author of these libels upon the illustriousdead. Their silence, how ¢ ver, betu ke s their shame."” The Lowsville Courier Journal (Dem ) says: ‘‘The trusts continue to cut wages, notwithstanding the monopaly they enjoy in the market for their products, the steady rise in the price of the necessaries of life and the approach of winter, with its increased hardship, for the wage ear ner, At the Joliet plant of the Steel Cor porations there has been a reduction in some departments of from 2o to 40 per cent. If this is done before the election, it is easy to predict what would be the policy if the republican ticket should be elected.” The Montgomery Advertiser ,Dem) says: - ‘‘Bourke Cochran says, ‘Republi canism is an apetite,’ Mauy years ago a publi¢ speaker refer-ed to the opposite party as ‘an organized apetite,” which was a little more pointed than Cochran's way of putting it, Lut both expressions are good. . They reach out far the office ‘as if increase of appetite had grown by what itisfedon, Asa pariyiti never satisfied and as individuals the members of the party are never satisfied. Itis an excel lent time to choke the Party off the pub lic teat and give it a chance to learn a Lt tle moderation.” S e The New York World (Dem.) says: ‘Tue Spooner republicans, it is said, will ask the courts for permission to print the l names of the Republican electors at the head of their independant siate ticket on the ground that electors are federal offi cers and candidates tor such office do not come within the provisions of the anti fusion laws. 1n a Michigan case the courts held that candidates for Congress came within the provisions of the anti-fusion laws. The office of elector would seem to be as much a state office as that of Rep resentative, so it may be doubtful of Rep resentative, so it may be doubted if the courts will help the Stalwarts out of the /; predicament.” Elect the County Commis- l sioners By the People. Every time a grand jury of only 18 men elect a set of county Commissioners, by ‘abare majority, there is only ten men who tule for a whole county Since ten in such a time is enough. e Every time agrand jury is left with the selection of the most important officers in the county the balance of the county is totally disfranchised and has no say in the matter at all. Elect the county Commissioners by the people have a say so about. They have a right to doso, Any other way is an oli garchy Any other way is a ruling the County. Lets agitate for a change. Elect the County Commissioners by the people. If the people cant be trusted a few men from among the people are but a part of the people any way.
