PLATFORM
Of *he Indep^dent Party 0f Cam-
eron County.
We the undersigned candidates
of the Independent party of Cameron
county nominated at the county
convention of this county at the
time and in the manner prescribed
by law believing in a government
“of the people for the people and
by the people” free from the eon.rol
or domination of political bosses or

ment of our county when the intelli-

speedy administration of justice to
all classes.
4— We believe that our local
peace officers should be sufficient to

ty without the interference or as-
sistance of state rangers and believe
that the appointment by our sheriff
of fewer and more responsible and
reputable deputies would bring
about that end.
5— We favor a regular auditing of
the books and accounts of the var*'
lous officials of this county and the
demanding of a strict accounting of

are best served by frequent changes j
in public officials.

ted to see that those county officials
whose duty it is to do so shall en- j
deavor to bring justice to murderers
and other criminals and not en-
deavor to protect 'them for political
reasons.

of an oath of office and thaT every
official of the county is rightfully a
servant of the whole people not a
partisan of any faction clique or
political party.

CONSULS IN THE MAKING.
How Applications Ara Mads and tha
Examinations That Follow.
Consuls are appointed by the presi-
dent with the advice and consent of
the senate. A candidate desiring ap-
pointment to the consular service
makes application for such appoint-
ment through the secretary of state oq
a form furnished by the state depart-
ment From among these applicants
the president designates to take an ex-
amination those candidates who seem
properly qualified for the service and
who are not from states which already
have more than their share of appoint-
ments in the service each state so far
as possible being allowed appoint-
ments proportioned on the basis of
population.
Naturally if the service needs men
and but few candidates present them-
selves from states that are underrep-
resented some candidates from states
overrepresented must also be designat-
ed for the examination. In making
these designations politics is given no
consideration the service being now
upon a strictly nonpartisan basis.
Then when the set time arrives the
candidate presents himself at Wash-
ington and takes a written examina-
tion in international maritime and
i commercial law. political and commer-
cial geography arithmetic modern
languages French. German or Span
ish; the natural Industrial and com-
mercial resources and commerce of the
United States political economy Amer-
ican history government and institu-
tions and the modern history (since
1850) of Europe South America and
the far east
To determine a candidate’s business
ability alertness general contempora-
ry information and natural fitness for
the service. Including moral mental
and physical qualifications character
address and general education and
good command of English he then
takes an oral examination. All those
candidates who receive a total mark
of 80 per cent are then pronounced
qualified for appointment and their
names go on the list of ellgibles from
which future appointments are made.

Ignoring Noise.
Our suggestion that the senses be
trained to ignore noise recalls Lord
Lyndhurst’s heroism. He found edu-
cation in distraction. HI recollect
many years ago” he wrote “when I
was studying in chambers having a
neighbor who was learning to scrape
ou the violin. I was at first disposed
to complain of my neighbor’s Innocent
pastime as an annoyance but on a lit-
tle reflection I said to myself ‘Is it
wise In me to object? Let me see
whether I cannot stand it without dis-
traction. If I can what an admirable
discipline it will be to me in pursuing
my mathematical studies 1’ After a
time I ceased to hear the nuisance as
It was called; it made no impression
on me." Even an amateur violinist
has his apostolic mission I—London
Chronicle.
The Camel’s Peculiarity.
The camel alone among animals does
not perspire with Its entire skin. It
perspires only In the back of the neck
and so when traveling in extreme beat
does not require a continual supply of
water in order to replace the moisture
evaporated through the pores. A curi-
ous consequence of this singularity Is
the fluctuation within 4 degrees of the
blood temperature of a healthy camel—
that is a rise of temperature of 4 de-
grees which in a human being and in
other mammals would be a sign of fe-

Newton’s Perseverance.
Many interesting storied are related
of Newton’s great perseverance. Not
infrequently upon arising In the morn-
ing he would sit down on his bedside
and remain there for hours without
dressing himself occupied with some
Interesting Investigation which had
fixed his attention.
On a tablet in the room tn which
Newton was born at Woolstborpe
manor house is inscribed the celebrated
epitaph written by Pope:
Nature and nature’s lawa lay hid tn night.
God said ’’Let Newton be” and all was
light.
Sir Isaac told Bishop Pearce that he
had spent thirty years at intervals in
reading over all the authors or parts of
authors which could furnish him with
materials for his “Chronology of An-
cient Kingdoms” and that he had writ-
ten that work sixteen times with his
own hand.
Why They Go Mad.
Harry Macdona once made a whim-
sical remark after his return from
one of his many “polar expeditious.”
“I didn’t mind the cold so much."
he said “and the hardships were to
be looked for as a part of the game.
But what proved to be almost Insup-
portable was the constant association
day and night with the same men.
They were all good fellows too. and 11
liked them but I got to know them j
too well. A man la like a music box.
He can only play just ao many tunes
and after you have heard them all
over again and again you get deadly
tired of them. I think that is why so '
many go mad on such trios."
“Jcftjth. too never oaten x> nan tne
things I say to yon.” she complained.
“Well dear" he replied. “I have to :
work part of tha time.”—Chicago Rec-
ord Herald.

Wilson Stands For a Principle—
3 Will You Stand By Him?
Woodrow Wilson is a vastly different order of man than you find among the ranks of many good men in
practical political life.
Woodrow Wilson is not among the great majority of politicians and business men otherwise estimable
characters who believe that the end justifies the means who are honest in a commercial or political sense.
The candidate of the progressive voters of the country not only docs not believe in the doctrine of
anything to win” but he insists on plain old fashioned honesty in every detail of his campaign.
Woodrow Wilson proposes to win on the merits of his candidacy and platform or not at all.
Clean hands or no fight” is Wilson’s ultimatum to his supporters throughout the country. •
No Tainted Money For Wilson
Not a dollar of questionable money will be spent to elect Woodrow Wilson.
The Democratic National Committee is heart and soul in accord with the candidate’s views.
And the corrupting influences with no political faith casting about to win a foothold in the new govern-
ment with bribes of ill-gotten gains have despaired of reaching Wilson or his campaigners.
^They have gone to the enemy whoever that enemy may be. It is a matter of common knowledge that
the ‘Interests” are using all their political funds to defeat Wilson.
This makes it your fight.
* What the American People Need to Know
The people have constantly rr.ade the mistake of believing that this is a money-ridden nation
Such is only the case insofar as the People fail to get together and so permit the few to control the dishonest
representatives they by mistake elect to office.
The actual money power of the People is still greater than that of the Interests.
The Progressive People of the country if they get together can buy and sell the Corrupting Influences
and destroy their financial power.
So Woodrow Wilson and his managers believe that not only is it the only clean method but the most
practical method for the Progressive People of the country to supply *he Woodrow Wilson Campaign Fund.
The People to Fight With THEIR Dollars
This year a popular president is to be elected with the People’s money.
The Woodrow Wilson Campaign Fund is to be collected from the rank and file of the Progressive Voter*
of the country.
The bills of the Democratic National Committee are to be paid nos with the thousands of the Interests
but with the individual dollars of the earnest eager voters who desire clea.n efficient government and who arc
willing to help Wilson as he wants to be helped.
Money tnua needed is not spent in improper ways or in any manner similar to the way in which the fends cl the
Interests are disbursed*
But we have to tell the voters of the country about Woodrow Wilson. We have to tell them what he has done.
We have to tell them what he stands for. We have to point out to them the important planks in his platform All this
means that to hold up our end we will be obliged to spend as much more/ as those who oppose us
This means that every man or woman who believes in Wilson should be willing to contribute to his canae.
Let the supporters of Wilson help us to spread the Wilson gospel to the four winds.
Let the Progressive Voters battle this year with their pocketbook* as well aj their ballots. *
We Solicit Popular Subscriptions-Can You Give From $1 to $20?
Of course you can—and you are glad to support the cause in this way.
Practically every voter can afford to give $1 to aid the Wilson Campaign. A great many can give $3 A great
many can give $5. And there are lots and lots of progreaaive voters who will be eager to donate from $10 to WO.
These are the kind of contribution! we want.
And we will be proud to receive fiotn thousands who can only afford $1 their $1 contributions. We want to hooff
from every roan who has a dollar to give.
This ye*r the man with the dollar must defeat the government traducer who spends his thousands.
Get Club Subscriptions
If you know many Wilaon men if you work among many Wilson men bead a Hat with your name and mooty mi
get the others to join you with their subscriptions. '
Then send your list with the money to C. R. Crane Vice Chairman Finance Committee Democratic National
Committee 900 Michigan Avenue Chicago Illinois.
No loyal Wilson man can do more than this to assure Wilson’s victory at the polla in November.
