Uncle Joe Mc.S'eal seems to have
raised the dust among the demo-

the democratic newspapers.
The biggest campaign joke that
we heard coming from any of the
candidates for governor comes from
Alfalfa Bill. He says that he is
for prohibition. Now anybody that
knows Bill would never had charged
him with being a prohibitionist from
anything that he ever did along
that line. But then likely he has
reformed since being caught in the
basement of the lone hotel during
the session of the legislature with
the colored* porter.

The old expression that the "good
lord only knows" may apply to some
things but it never was intended to
have any application to the demo-
cratic party.
Jsst watch what the republicans
will do in Illinois to the bribe giver
and the bribe taker, whether In the i
republican party or out of It. If
upon investigation it should be found
that Lorlmer securd his election to
the senate through bribery, of a
democrat or anybody else, it will be
a republican administration that will
deprive him of that office secured as
the results of dishonsty in securing
It. If it Is true that Billy Lorimer
did secure democratic votes enough
to defeat Hopkins, the regular nom-
inee of the party, them he should
be invited to step down and out
and Hopkins appointed by the gov-
ernor of Illinois to fill the vacancy.
No party can stand responsible for
any such dishonsty within itself

mine owner of Colorado who died re-

friends throughout the country mourn
his death as he was one of the most

West. He startea in to build his
fortune as a mucker in a Colorado
mine.
