Now that the great National contest is on, the prognostiga tors are making their estimates of the strength of both parties, and the betting element is plac ing their money upon their fav orites. So far Roosevelt ap pears to be the favorite among the bettings, at large odds, but this is not always a sure sign, for we remember in the Cleve land campaign the betting was in favor of Harrison, and Cleve laad won in a landslide, and his tory may repeat itself. The election of this year will be decided by the doubtful States. It will take 239 votes to elect, of these Parker is sure of 162. and Roosevelt is equally certain of 207. Parker to win must get 77 votes from the doubtful States. Those States considered doubtful are Colo rado, Connecticut, Delaware, In diana, Montana, New York, New Jersey, West Virginia, Utah and Wisconsin; all of these States went Republican four years ago, and unless there is a landslide the probability is that all of them but New York and West Virginia. will give their electoral votes to the Republican candi date. It takes 239 votes to elect. Parker is sure of 162, and Roose velt is equally certain of 207. To win Parker must get 77 more, and Roosevelt needs 32. New York can give Parker its 39 votes and then he would have to get 36 more, but if New York gives Roosevelt its vote he is elect'd. It looks to us for Par ker to win he must carry all of the doubtful States, which can only come by a political revol-u tion. We have very little confi dence in the claim that Parker will carry Indiana and Wiscon son, true Indiana has gone Dem ocratic and so has Wisconsin, but both of these States are the beneficiaries of high price wheat and the farmers credit the ad ministration with bringing about * prosperity. Roosevelt's strength in New York outside of the city * i'conceded, but the hope of car ryving New York for the Democ racy is the tremendous majori ty~ in the city, but when we con sider the tremendous vote poll ed in that city by the business element, who are not anxious for changes in. the government while business affairs- are in a prosperous condition we cannot bank too heavily on New York casting its vote for Parker, al though Judge Parker is very popular. In our opinion the chances for a change of parties are not as bright as some of the enthusiastic newspapers try to make it appear. The South, of course will give its solid strength * to Parker, but to offset this comes the West and the Eastern States, many of which have large electoral votes, and it is also our opinion that the Popu list party led by Watson will take more votes away from Par ker than from Roosevelt. The only hope we can figure out lies in breaking the Republican strength in the West, ORGANIZE. The communication signed oc casional to which we referred last week was accidentially left out, and we did not know it un til after the paper was published. It appears this week, and we hope it will have effect of caus ing the farmers all over the county to take similar action. In a number of counties the or ganizations have been effected to the extent that a State conven tion is calledto meet in Columbia * during the fair. There can be no harm to anyone to have the farmers organized 'to advance their interests and we hope Clar endon will not lag behind in this movement. The only thing in the way of success in organizing the farmer, is the scurvey poli tician, who forces himself in, be comes the loudest-mouthed man of the concern, gets what he wants, and then leaves the farmer in the lurch. In our opin ion it would be wise to look out for such barnacles and as fast as they are discovered scrape them off as you would an ulcer. Farmers of Clarendon, you can help yourself much by sensible organization, not to make intoler ant demands, nor to expect some thing for nothing, but to market your crops in a sensible and businesslike manner. There is no need in a half dozen profits being made out of your cotton before it reaches the manufac turer. Organization will save this to you, the same as organi zation saves to- the merchant the profits formerly paid to middle men. The farmers of Summer ton have started out in the right direction: they put their cotton on the marketlon certain days. in certain quantities, all of you can do the same and be benefitted They also will buy their fertili zers in large quantities and save the same. It has been our desire I to see the fa-ners of this coun ty organized for years, and we have striven hard year after year < for this end, but as fast as there was a disposition on the part of farmers to act. obstacles would come in the way, from the ones who do not want the farmers organized, because they know if their is a collective action their day for bleeding and extortion and trickery is at an end, and to scatter the farmers, men in the pay of the opposition get in, and kick at every move made. Farm ers. organize, and keep your eye upon the kickers, if you watch them closely you will see they are the instruments of a class of men who take all kinds of ad vantage of the farmer. If you undertake to get a movement to buv a certain fertilizer, these men will have their clackers to run the goods down and make false statements to bring about doubt and dissatisfaction. What damage the paid clackers cannot do, the scurvey politician who is hunting an office will, so we say beware of them and go right along to effect organizations in every community for the pur pose of marketing your crops and purchasing your fertilizers. JOSEPH MONTGOMERY OF CLARENDON A REPUBLICAN LEADER. We take from the Birmingham News a speech delivered by Mr. J. H. Montgomery formerly of Clarendon, now a prominent Re publican leader in Alabama, in which he makes an appeal to re pudiate the ill tempered and damaging remarks of congress man Heflin, whose utterances have been taken all over the country as capital to the injury of the Democratic cause. Lineville, Ala.-To a crowded house of both ladies and gentlemen on Friday night, Judge J. H. Montgomery, of Birmingham, in a forceful and elo quent manner, turned the full force of invective against anarchy in Alabama. Among other things he said: "My friends, I read with astonishment and amazement the speech of your con gressman, Mr. Heflin, delivered at Tuskegee on the 5th of this month, in which he indulged in an assault on your president in language unworthy the dignity of the high office which he holds. It is attributed to this congressman that in the course of his philippic against your president for lunching with Booker Washington, and his fear that Booker Washington would in some way interfere to prevent him from be ing seated in congress, that he used this language: There they sat, Roose velt and Booker, and if some Czolgosz or one of his kind had thrown a bomb under the table no great harm would have been done the country. And if Booker inteferes in this thing t-herc is a way of stopping him. We have a way of influencing negroes down here if it becomes necessary." How unfortunate the language: The full force of this language falls upon the shoulders of every man, woman and child in this district, and not to shake it off and repudiate it at the polls,. is to adopt it as your own. To say that this language is in temperate is to excuse it. To say that it is incen diary and brutal is to confess the whole truth. When the American people executed Guiteau for the assassiaation of Gar field they thought that anarchy was destroyed in this country. When they executed Czolgosz for the assassination of McKinley they feared a'archism was yet in this country, but when Mfr. Heflin spoke they knew that this tribe of enemies to popular government was still here. Personally your president is above and beyond this language: he cares not for the vaporings of an unbalanced statsman. This language rests upon the con science and the manhood of the people of the fifth district Will you indorse it or will you repudiate it? If a con ressman can indorse assassination, does it not suggest performance? If a congressman counsels mob violence,1 should he be instrusted with law mnak ing power? You are solemnly advised that if for any reason Mir. Heflin should lose his seat on a contest violence to Booker Washington will follow. You are told that a loss of his seat because of opposition that mob violence may be expected in Tuskegee or the torch of arson inflame the city:1 Gentlemen, look at the contrast be tween the past and the present. The lamented dead and thei dreaded living: Your former congressman, Thompson, bad invited to your district eminent statesmen of all parties: invoked more< sunlight on the dark and vexed prob lems that confront the south than any] other man living. He made your dis trict known throughout America. Hei made this district in which Tuskegee< is located known as one where, under the aegis of the law, virtue and learn-] ing had found a peaceful home. - The germs planted by this lamented] and gifted statesman had taken root1 and were bearing abundant fruitage. The stream which had begun to run pure under his wisdom is polluted by his successor. Will you vote for MIr. Heflin and take the chances of this horrible crime being perpetrated in your district? It will discredit you abroad, humili ate vou at home and stain forever the fair name of Alabama. The virtue and manhood of the fifth district is on trial. You are watched from every quarter of the nation. By your vote your character will be meas ured. Rise like Alabamians! Eminate the achievements of your ancestors. Hurl back this foul imputation on your fair name, and say to an expectant na tion that "Not that we love party less, but we love honor more." Roberts of Utah, taught polygamy, and because of it congress denied him a seat. That district was without a representative in congress. Hefii taught mob violence and anarchy and because of it congress may deny him a seat, and this district may be without a representative in congress. POLITICIANS SHOULD ANTE FIRST. The leaders of the Democracy are asking for contributions to1 aid the party in its national cam paign, and that these contribu tions should be made is no more than right, but we venture to say that very few of the bene-1 ficiaries of politics will contrib ute. We have two United States< Senators, and seven congress man, each receiving $5000 a year fromi the positions they hold, then, we have State and County< officers all of whom get a sup-i prt from their positions; these should come down handsomely< before the general public is ask-i ed to cough up. We want the national party treasury put in a.] position to carry on its work,i and as a party man we are will ing to do our share, but we arei oposed to being fat-frierd while ,he politicians who reap the r ,vards, spoils and benefits, ai permitted to urge the- people >ontribute and do nothing ther elves. State Chairman Jones shou: publish in the daily papers h list of contributors to the natio: il 'campaign fund, so that t1 people who are asked to contri ate may know what the hiq nuck-a-mucks are giving- It not unusual for the fellow wi passes around the hat to rega his services worth as much the highest contribution.
