FOR NATIONAL JUNIOR VICE PRESIDENT
Mrs. L. A. oldroyd Presented.

The Department Of Potomac, Woman's
Relief Corps, has issued circular letter
in behalf of the candidacy of Mrs. Ida
A. OldrOyd, who was unanimously in
dorsed by the recent Department Conven-
ton for the office Of National Junior Vice
President, and will press Mrs. Oldroyd for
the Office at the National Convention in
Boston.
The circular letter recites, among other
things, that Mrs. Oldroyd is the wife OF
Capt. 0. III. Oldroyd, who served his coun.
try faithfully for four years of terrible
war to preserve the Union, in the Goth
Ohio, and who has long been identified
with his Lincoln Memorial Colectior.
in the Lincoln Homestead, Springfield. J;
and in the house in which President ~
coin died, in this city. She Joined the Won
ans Relief Corps in November, 1884, at
Springfield, ILL.,, and has been an active,
energetic, faithful worker for many years
AFTER having filled all the offices in her
Corps, as well as that of Instituting and
Installing Officer of the Department of
Illinois, and having served as an Aid upon
the staff of six National Presidents, Mrs.
OldrOyd was prevailed upon to accept the
position of Department President, and
having served SO acceptably, we now feel
that in larger and higher sphere she will
serve as faithfully and meet the higher
qualities required in National Officer of
the Woman's Relief Corps"
The circular then declares that the De-
partment of Potomac, while one Of the
smallest in the National organization, has
great deal Of relief work to do of a mis-
cellaneous character. and it's Memorial
Day and patriotic work here in the Capital
OF the Nation are extremely arduous. This
Department, they say, has never had but
one National Officer, and they are conf
dent that Mrs. Oldroyd will serve the
Woman's Relief Corps with credit to her
self and satisfaction to the National or
ganization, and ask the aid of delegates
and other voters in the National COnven-
tion in bringing about this much desired
result.
The letter is signed by Helen E. Stone,
Chairman of COMMITTEES; Agnes L. Keller,
Secretary.

When attempting to discuss the tax

the democrats cite totals only, hoping.

up those totals Let us investigate

Under Thornton and the democrats,
the average total levy was 9.275 mills
each year OF this total there were
used 7.l25 mills to pay salaries, etc,
leaving only 215 mills for all educa-
tional purposes, charities, sinking
funds and similar necessities. Under
Otero the average total levy has been
1892 mills per annum. of which total
only six mills are required for all
salaries, interest, the penitentiary and
miscellaneous funds. The entire bal
anee, amounting TO 1872 mills levied
under Otero is used to pay for educa-
tion, charities, public improvements
and deficit bonds left by the demo-
Gratis.
Let the taxpayer contrast these fie-
ures, and consider what sort OF Il.

the taxpayers could well afford to
have Thornton leave deficit, ms he
spent less than Otero is doing. Four
years OF Thornton and democratic

easier to pay $349,s32.54 in 1907 than

points of the Russian case, evidently
from an inspired source, are as fol-
