No Democrat heed be ashamed of the party platform1, ' adopted last : week at San- Frapciscp.-. It shines gffulgently when compared with the like document of |the /Republicans. It is a positive .statement. While criticising the Republican rhajority in the last congress for Its signal failure to enact any beneficial measures, its central theme is not hate of one man, ^ as is the Republican platform. Its terms are not evasiv^, but positive and clear out. It stands: for something and says ho in words that convey a single meaning. un Liiu issue ui me league or 11a... tlons the platform., says: "We endorse the president's view of our International obligations and his firm stand again&t reservations designed to cut to pieces the vital provisions of the I Versailles treaty." The Republican platform practically assures te country that in the ' event.of its success we may look for war. with Mexico, while the Democratic platform expresses (sympathy for thai benigted land and assures recognition of the present government as soon as it has ddhionstrated its capacity to keep peace. All in all the platform is a declaration of principles 'that should .appeal to the Country for its. MtSuightforward stand "hpftn'tVie vital topics oi the day. ATTEND THE MEETINGS. Candidates for the United State: senate and for state offices are proving poor drawing cards, the attendance at most of the meetings being from 50 to 100. vqters. In a fewi rare cases 150 t<^ 200 voters hav< been present. It is a source of gratification that this is not a campaign oi vituperation and abuse, but it woulf appear as if this is the only kind of ? campaign that the voters are gener.tj' .... - . any interested in. The purpose of the state cam pal gr to have the candidates meet the votert face to face is a good one and 11 should not be allowed to fall into disuse for lack of interest on the part ol the people. Folks should attend the meetings and get a line on the candidates whether the campaign it "hot" or not.1 It is , always of importance who is to N-be" elected to fill most, of the offices. That Democratic convention mus have been a hard-boiled bunch?MrBryan's tears even did not move them At that you have to acknowledge that old mnn Wv J. B. is still some little scrapper. We wish to enter our predictioi now that the next, presideht of the United States will be an Ohio editor It took the Democratic conventloi longer than the Republicans to choos< ? a nominee?but look'.how much bet ter they did. Get ybur name on the club roll arte vote in the primary. There are man; important county races in which ever; voter should participate. In sticking to McAdoo to the las the South Carolina delegation a San BVanciaco pretty generally repre sented their constituency. Having paid a visit to .the Isle o Palms, we are inclined td the belie that after ail there is some truth . li the story that Captain Kldd onoe ha< his headquarters thereabouts. His in fluence Is still evident. NEW TURNIP SEEDS. Wood's new crop ^Turnip Seeds, al varieties for early and late plnntlng ruta baga, radish and other seasonal^ # seed, fresh, true and reliable.
