Boss Murphy, democratic chairman of the tenth congressional district, was opposed for re-election as chairman by practically every democratic. paper in the district and by all the anti-machine, far-seeing democrats, because, for one reason, that .tie had been appointed as a member of the public service commission and drew a salary of $6,000 per year, SSOO per month, and his time and -services belonged to the state rather than to any political party. But he 'was forced- and forced himself dn the democrats despite the wishes of 95 per cent of the party, and for the past two months. almost continuously, the business of the office for which he draws a large salary, has been neglected while Murphy has been working at polities. This should nos be, with any party, and The Democrat does not think it is any less ’loyal to democratic ideas and principles by condemning such action. In fact, it is only by frowning upon such things as this that, strengthens a party. If they are condoned it w’ould not be long until the democrats would find themselves in the same condition the republican party was in two years ago.

Here’s what Sherman really did say about war: “1 confess without shame that 1 am tired and sick of war: its glory is all moonshine. Even success the most brilliant is over dead and mangled bodies, the anguish and lamentations of distant families, appealing to me for missing sons, husbands and fathers. It is only those who have not. heard a shot nor heard the shrieks, and groans of the. wounded and lacerated, that cry aloud for more blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell."
