The first of a series of voyages which this craft is expected to make up this historic stream was successfully made to the | tune of a Democratic majority in the sixth district of 3,791, with uncle Joe | Cannon on the bridge and Senator Aldrich at the helm. Phil. S. Griffith made a very efficient pilot. The post: | masters of the district made the trip at the earnest solicitation of Postmast- | er General Hitchcock. All Republi-| can editors in the district were car- | ried as first class passengers with the exception of Mr. Funk of the Repub- | lican Press who at the last moment | hada hunch that there was to be a) landslide, and was too busy figuring out its direction. Great things were | expected of Dr. Bowden, of Appleton City but shortly before the trip he must have been pushed into the stream. Henceforth Doc. will not regard seven as an especially lucky number. Credit must of course be give the tariff for so beautiful a day as was Tuesday for the trip and all things were lovely as the good ship, gently wafted along by the spirit of militant Democracy, toward her des- tination, the head waters of Salt River. The journey will of course| be made in relays, and it is confident- | ly expected that the start on the next | leg of the journey will be_made in| 1910. .The good wishes of the “‘Ulti- mate Consumer”’ go with the “Tar-| iff’’ on her voyage up Salt River and | all join in the wish that “Uncle Joe”’ | muy finda nice quicksand bar upon | which to “stand pat.’’ HONOR TO WHOM HONOR TS BUE | EPRREED &Co ROCHESTER Ny.

Miss Pearl Kellar, the nurse of Col | President of Missouri University De-) (Cattle: 10 head of cattle, consist Swope was the sole witness of the! morning, But her story was one tha’| caused absorbing interest throughout every minute of the hearing. Ever) spectator, every juror, every attorne; end every stenographer waited for hei words, words that told a story o mystery. And in that story of Miss Kellar’: the nurse told of the death of Col| Swope, how the attack eame, and bov | it ended, how a capsule preceded t\e| convulsions tnat brought death, and c: Doctor Hyde's actions. She alsc brought out the fact that Col. Swop« kept his will in a pocket of a vest which he never allowed out of the! room and that there was an under) ng with the administrator of the that should death come sud | estate | denly to him, the will would be founc ” Since the smoke of battle has clear- | ed away and the results which elec- trified the nation have been explain- “ed from every viwe point, Demo- erats can check up and take stock. Unquestionably the issues of high protection tariff, anti-Cannonism and | Aldrichism, were the leading causes, | but without a thorough organization | that reached all the voters and mar- shaled them against the sophistries and falsehoods of republicanism as exemplified in the issues, the results could not have been obtained. Never before in the history of the Sixth dis- trict was the Democratic campaign manager in touch with the Democratic voters as was Peyton A. Parks .this time, and never were they organized into so compact a fighting machine. To his splendid executive abilities and indefatigable industry is due the victory. victory without able and efficient of- "ficers and Mr. Parks was very ‘fortu- nate in having the assistance of active _ and competent committeemen to look after the organization in the different inties, Never in its history was in that place. | She compared the death of Col! Swope and that of Col. Moss Hunter as to symptoms and actions. Sh old of a proposition that had beer made her by Dr. B. C. Hyde shortly after the death of Moss Hunton, where | by she was to go to Col. Swope and} suggest to him that Dr. Hyde be made| administrator of the estate in Col | Hunton’s place. She told of a searct | for the box from which the capsule! given Col. Swope was taken. She told! of a suggestion that came from Doctor Hyde to chargé $35 a week instead of $25_a week for her services; she told of giving three hypodermic injections of strychnine for the treatment of Col. Swope’s case, diagnosed as apo plexy, and then she was asked by Dr. B. F. Zwart, county coroner: “Do you know anything that might have caused’ Colonel Swope’s death other than that capsule?” —_ The jury leaned forward to catch the answer. And so did Miss Kellar lean forward as she said dramatically; “I do not.” j “And was the death of Colonel Hun- ton, who died of apoplexy, anything like that of Colonel Swope?” Doctor Zwart asked again. “It was not,” the “Colonel Hunton’s ai gradually and the sym tirely different.
