mention martion tho the percentage which these liquors are nrc areto areto to return under Tho The reason for tor this Is that their constituents will not agree on this and for Cor that reason they may bo be considered beaten now It is i too bad that the th-o Democratic party who have stood b by the tho principles which e eventually brought ht about the elimination of or liquor from tho the country country coun cOUn- tl try should bo be forced to stand for tor such candidates Opposes I Militarism Tho The Republican party lart has so 50 far tar escaped such a n disgrace a. a an as none t O of f their candidates for tho tiro nomination have o as yet ct tried to stand on oa such a platform It was tho the Democratic party part who put over womans woman's suffrage and al although although al al- though there are a I number of oC Democratic Democratic Demo Demo- cratic states which have o not ratified this bill the tho real reason behind their rc refusal to ratify Is the race raco question and not the question of ot enfranchisement enfranchise enfranchise- ment of oC women omon Militarism is another great reat question which is facing the tho country countr today and If Ir we

power to hold the tho rest of or tho the world at lt peace and it would be he a no crime to squabble on the tho treaty question when the tho lives of ot men In Europe aro are at stake slAke Owen TeD

explained that the tho I government JO has loaned to tho tiro countries countries countries coun coun- tries of OC Europe over and the tho citizens pf pC the tho United States Slates have loaned J more individually Tho Protective Tariff league If IC it opens a fight In the tho coming campaign may bo well likened to an oJ old reprobate reprobate reprobate bate on account of or the enormous
