STRAIGHT-OUTS ARE ANGRY Think fljej So Where the Oth er Wins" la Trying to J-Nme n Citizen .Ticket l'pu. ; I Them. 4 . v .-- -'' Civil war Is again brewing within ; th ranks ot the democracy; pt Clat- , sop county. Old-time democrat up, on their hind legs, while the "eitl enH wing of the party has also assum ed a defiant attitude. There are break era on the political sea and the party hip Is leaking fore and aft Indeed. It Is predicted that she will founder. The old-line democrats are angry because of the evident effort now being made to deliver the organisation Into the hands of the "ctttiens." When the county election was approaching ear lier In the year there came a persist ent demand that democrats should be known by their right name. This de mand was voiced by the majority of the real workers of the party the men who had rammed the charge, home and then stood beside the gun. The call for the county onventioa was issued by the ' citUen committee, which was the only ' working organization which the democracy could boast at that time, but when the .clans gathered at the court house the out-and-out dem ocrats took charge. It was a memorable convention. Men who had been active in support of the citizen movement renounced their al legiance to the organization and spoke up for a straight ticket Other "citi sens" insisted uoon the nomination of a ticket Things were designated by thf.lr right names during th discus sion, and when finally the proposal was voted upon the straight-outs were fcund to be In the majority. There upon they shook each other by the hand and congratulated themselves upon their deliverance from the name "citizen." Even that bulwark of cltl-l sen politics, Hon. A. M. Smith, voted with the straight-outs. The straight' outs solemnly averred they would con tinue to wear the name "democrat" re' garding the vote in the convention as a permanent return to the old-time standard. y And now they observe the unmistak able handwriting on the wall. It is the purpose of the devotees of the "citizen" pastime to nominate a citi zen ticket this fall for city offices, and there is wrath in consequence. Yes terday the call for the city convention was issued. It is signed by the "citl sen committee," but no meeting of the committee was held. A few of the citizen enthusiasts got together, fixed the date and issued the call. No ob lection is found with the irregularity, however, but the kick is registered be cause the democratic committee has not Issued the call for the democratic convention. The straight-outs want to do business under and in the name of the democracy, and the determination to force a citizen ticket upon them is openly denounced. Straight-out stal warts deplare they will support the re publican nominees in preference to voting for any more "citizens," and it is evident that there will be "somethln' doln'." Whether or not the straight- outs will manifest enough antagonistic interest to go to the convention and try to vote down the citizen movement remains to be seen. However, It was stated yesterday by the old-times that they would probably allow the citizen wing to proceed with nominations, and then let this wing rustle up the neces sary votes. When the county convention was held the assertion was nuule the de mocracy could not win Under Its right name. "The people of this county will support a citizen, but they will not sup port a democratic ticket," declared the citizen element The result ot the elec tion showed that it made absolutely no difference to 'voters whether the name "democrat" or the name "citizen" vn employed. The demox-rats elected two Ujgislutlve candidates and carried the city for all of their candidates except one which is more than can be wild of any citizen ticket ever nominated. The democrats are satisfied with this showing and want to nominate dem ocratic candidates for city offices. ' The local citizen movement has more significance than the ordinary Astorlan has any idea of. Western democrats are planning the organization of a new western party. They hope to launch the new organization within a few years, so that it will be In fighting trim by 1908. The new wsetern party will perhapi be known as the "citizen" par ty, although the name has not yet been determined upon. Mr. Bryan will, It Is said, lend his assistance to the movement which will be confined strictly to the western states. It will be a vigorous organization, advocating principles that would not "go" In the east and south, where the democratic party .will continue to do business at the old stand and under the old name. The new western party will strive to secure representation in congress and there work with the democrats from the south and those who manage to get to Washington from the northern states. To successfully launch this new party there must be local organizations sailing throughout the west under some other name than "democrat," and here in Astoria, so the narrative goes, it is hoped to have such an organization at the time of the launching. The citizen convention has been call ed for Saturday night at 8 o'clock, at the court house. Candidates for the council in the Second and Third wards will be named, as well as a candidate for city attorney. George W. Morton will be renominated for councilman in the Second ward, while H. M. Lorn sten is spoken of for the Third ward's representative. City Attorney Smith was unable to state last evening if he would seek renomination, but he prob ably will do so. The republicans will renominate John Nordstrom In the Third ward, but thus far no one has been mentioned publicly as a candi date for councilman in the Second ward. J. A. Eakin and C. H. Aber cromble are mentioned for city attor ney. MR. PALMER'S LAST SERMON Evangelist Finishes Series of Suc cessful Religious Meetings in Churches of Astoria.

OLOF ANDERSON, Auditor and Police Judge of Astoria, Oregon. Dated October 28, 1904. Dr. Ray Talnier delivered u farewell sermon last evening at the Methodist church to a very 'appreciative audi ence, closing the most successful se ries of revival meetings held In Astoria since Evangelist Holdredge was bore nine years ago. A large number have been converted, many backsliders re claimed, the churches have been re vived, and many who had no church habits have been attracted by Dr. Palmer's masterly sermons and have become Interested In his great subjects. The subject of last evenings ad dress was. "The Temple of Character." Shorn of its wealth of sparkling gems of wit . humor, pathos and anecdote used, in Illustration, the following Is a synopsis of the sermon: ' The four fundamental cornerstone of every great character are: , 1.'' Self-control. Not 'to be swayed by passion or caprice, to be led astray by false ambition, or destroyed by temper. Self-control Is a golden key to unlock the vaults of heaven and earth. 2. Self -appreciation. Not pride, but to appreciate the worth ami posalblll-1 ties and purpose of one's better self. "To thyself be true and you will be false to none." Every man Is a child of God, destined for Immortality. 4. High aim in life. Any work. however humble, may be done with a high and pure purpose and to the glory ot God. and Is honorable. A man who Is ashamed of honest toil Is a failure. The crime is not in making a failure of any work, but In having a low aim. Illustrative ot choosing a vocation, Dr. Palmer used the following: The father of a young hopeful left his son In a room with a bible, an apple and a dol lar. The article which most attract ed the lad'a attention should determine whether he should be made a preacher, a farmer or a financier. The father returned to find the boy sitting on the bible, eating the apple und handling the dollar. He decided: "Son, you are a regular hog; you want everything In sight you are cut out for a politician." 4. Appreciation for others. There can be no great character without due appreciation for others. Jealousy Is one of the most common sins of the race. To be great you must be gener ous, glad of success in others, big- hearted. Envy and Jealousy narrow the soul. : On this foundation we may erect the seven pillars of the temple of a great character. They are: 1. Strong personality, which de pends not upon beauty of face or form IIIXIIIIIXlIIIIIIIITZimTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTlIIIp n .

Some grocers tell Schilling's Best mfm flrarfeii mtracM mi money back; some don't. They have their reasons both ways. 2. Endurance. Fortitude, to bear cross patiently, to cheerfully bear and forbear, perseverance In well-doing are attributes of this pillar. S. Earnestness. No success without enthusiasm. No time for frivolity and useless pastime. It all Christians were In earnest the world would be won for Christ. 4. Temperance. Not only In the use of strong drink, but In all things, though the former Is the foe of all good. The saloon Is the mother of all evil and the child of the devil. In Texas, Kentucky, Kansas and Missouri there are hundreds of counties without a saloon, and many counties In Ore gon will soon be likewise. S. Responsibility. It Is hard to get people to feel responsibility for any good wrk. The life which shirks re sponsibility Is not worth living. Dan lei Webster said, "the greatest thought my mind ever entertained Is my per sonal responsibility to Ood." 6. Purity. Purity of heart, mind and body. There are people who are pure. Every man has not his price. Purity of life Is essential to good char acter. 7. Charity. Love for nil people, for the good In them and that may be done for them, regardless of their faults, Is a sterling virtue, of which Christ Is our great example. Crown these pillars with the golden dome of sunshine. Bring brightness cheerfulness, warmth and Joy Into home, church and the whole social realm. Long-faced Christians are not orthodox. Sunshine la natural, whole some and holy. Then hang high the bells of hope. Look on the bright side of life. Op timism, not pessimism, makes life bet ter and happier. Bring to the erring and to the sorrowful the knowledge that God la love and that He will for give. All is Joy in heaven. And thus is the temple of charac ter built.
