THE CHAMBERLAIN DEM
OCRATIC CLUB
The Chamberlain Democratic
Club 'seems to be. conducting
quite a picturesque campaign, .
-...1 : ....:.. . ,Mlir,H
UUU 13 IISIU sviiu. ...w..w
hitherto untried in Coos County
politics.
They started off with secret
circulars to the faithful, but some
wicked Republican got hold of
one and went and stuck it up on
the bulletin board in the post
office, which caused the Cham
berlain Democratic Club much
perturbation of spirit. A genu
ine indignation meeting was held,
but the miscreaut could not be
apprehended. No wonder they
weremad. They do hale to be
laughed at, and this circular
was certainly a pcabh as a provo
cation of laugbter. ,
A second circular lias been
issued since, and the Mail is
pleased to note that it occupies
considerable valuable space in
the sheet. The News of yester
day also has a department edited
by the Chamberlain Democratic
Club, which no one with a sense
of humor should miss reading.
It is said that the darkest cloud
that has arisen on the, horizon
of the club is the action of Gover
nor Chambcrlaiu in opposing the
endorsement of Willie Hearst, the
t 1 1-1 ..r. r
moi 01 me xioray Jiauacu ouua
toil who founded the club and
named it after the Governor.

BK A BOOSTER
It requireu- advertising to build a
town, it requlrtai newspaper to do the
advertising and' it requires nowa to
make tho newepaper. A town without
good newspaper is worth abouttaa
much as a clock withalace. Thorefofo
every person intereatetl'fc town should

itrWlmcto WrftH P towtythty should

per is llko tbo proverbial mare, l takes
n little money to make It go; hut it also
takes something betides tucnoy to shc

TER CONTRA
The Coast Mail is inclined to givo the
other fellow a say; hence tho communi
cation in another column from a Nhope-
less Democrat,1' who blames tho Repub
lican party for everything that goes
wrong, forgetting to givo tho tamo party
credit for everything that goes right It
is a poor rule that doesn't work both
ways.
If the-Republican parly is eolely re
sponsible fcr tho increase ol truBts since
McKinloy's inauguration, it is also
solely responsible for the prosperity
that has prevailed during tho tame
period, and which has enabled the
pcopte to not only stand trust extor
tions but to make moro moqey besides
than thoy over did before.
However, we fear that our Democratic
friend has not been reading his modern
history very faithfully, or he would
know that the anti-trust law, whic,h re
mained a dead letter when the Demo
crats had full swing, is now being on
forced by a Republican administration
in a way that is shaking up tho trusts
.worse than they ever dreamed of being
shaken,
Further, if the btuffed prophet of
Democracy, Grover Cleveland, bo noml-
'.natcd ibis year, or
tho ophinx-like
Parker, of Now York, the trust con
tributions will go mainly into the Demo
cratic not the Republican compaign
fund.
The trutta are a part ol tho evolution
of mankiud. They are hero to
stay until tho next forward etep is
taken, and' that Btep will never be taken
under the guidance of tho Democratic
party.
Rut all this is beside tho question

Remember you cannot voto this Kail

Register now and voto in your coming
stato county election to show tho unity
and strength ol tho Republican parly.
In our stato and county election wo havo
an opportunity to express what our
election will be in tho presidential elec

opposition that we aro not lukewarm 'in
our confidence of success. Lot our ma
jority be largo aud unllorm. Support
ovcry candidate on thi tickot so thera

tlou and fealty to your party. Every
sign ol weakness Is oncouragoment for

in tho fiuauclal world, It is absolutely
necessary lor tbo wclfaro ol tho nation
that tho Republican party shall remain
in power to givo who administration of

OREGON WILL LEAD OFF
(Oregonlan)
Oregon will lead off In Juno with tho
most splendid Republican majority over
thrown in tho history ol the state It
will bo, as it should be, big chough to
electrify tho country. Such maiorily
is duo to President Kosscvrit, as the
first voice of the campaign of 1004 to
President Roosevelt, tho man whoso
knowledge of the West, whoso sympathy
with tho West, and whotoiervico to tho
West, are unequaled. To Oregon It la a
epeclal appeal; for to him, moro than to
all others, Is duo the recognition ac
corded b.v tho United States to tho Ore
gon Exposition, upon which all eyes
here are now concentrated. Approva
the President in Juuo by twenty thou
sand! It is bis due.
THE DEMOCRATIC WAY
The Democrats seem to be
concentrating a great part of their
efforts on the head of the tick
et, and following the usual Dem
ocratic program, instead of boost
ing their own caudidate direct,
they spend their time knocking
the Republican caudidate.
Now, the Mail will suggest to
the Chamberlain Democratic club
that there is a nobler way of win
ning a race than by hanging onto
the other , fellow's coattails aud
trying to yank him back behind
you.
To Republicans, the Mail
will say that they have every
reason to congratulate themselves
on their candidate for joint sena
tor. There isn' t a cleaner young
man in the two counties than
John S. Coke, and those who
know him best hold him in the
highest esteem. His absolute
J integrity has, never been ques-
- -
I tinned, and his ability fits In in to
1 , - . . .
; nrponi1 ll,j.lntllr, W:M, hminr
to his constituents, as well as
h.nuclf. ,
Any attempt on the part of his
opponents to belittle Mr. Coke in
any way ought to react 011 the
hearts pf the kuockers, for there
are men all over the county who
kuow him and can vouch for
him, and these men are in a pos
ition toTefute the iuuendos 'and
misripreseji'tatibhs of the mis-
gim
vo
sition.

A COMPARISON
There is a noticeable difterenco bo
tweeu tho comluct ol n great man and
ono of small caliber; tho foreman is
chamctcriztsi by a doflnito and consistent
lino of work whllo tho latter ilounddrfl
around aud kicks about whatomo other
pcrton is doing, and never has anything
worth BpeukluR about to off or from his
own brain. Tho foiWr is n bnlldar.nud
ho works along tho side of othura in a
peaceful and honorable manner, desiring
to tee tho beat pleco ol work honored
with tho wreath, tho latter seldom has
anything orlgiuol but is always brlng
Ingjon tho IruilH of honest industry
and alms to foment discord and clofalo
himeolf by destructive methods.
There- aro seventeen clauses in the
Democratic national platform of 1000,
and tun of thojo cl&uses were protect
abonl what tho Republican party had
dono or was about to do. Hero wo see
tho email man standing out beefing
fbout what tho Republican party Is
doing, Jn ploco ot presenting tho public
with a manly platform of his own

Thore were aUo seventeen clauses in
tho Republican national piriform ol
1000. The first thrco causes nre tho
only ones which make any montlon of
the Domocratlc parly, and those re
marks aro on historical lines and aro
freofrom bitter denunciations.
Notlcotho great dlfleronco betwocn
tho two politbalparties. Tho Ropubli.
can party conscious ol tho Banity ol Its
own doctrines and patiently relying on
tho intolllgonco of tho American peophi
for support, proionts its platform in a
manly manner.
Tho Democratic party wants to sco
what tho Republican party Ib going to
do so thoy can havo tho opportunity to
denounce, condemn etc.
