HOW IT LOOKS TO THE CANDI
DATES.

Ask any one Of the numerous
candidates who are in the field for
nominations at the present time,
what the outlook is in his opinion
with respect to his own chances
and he will invariably reply: 'Finel
Everything appears favorable, and
| am dead certain to win-if all the
people who have promised me their
support stick to their word"
This is one Of the odd phases of
politics. A candidate or a political
worker goes out among the voters
seeking to gain their support for
certain aspirant, and as a rule he
never hears anything but what is
il favor Of the man for whom lac Is
working Nearly everyone with
whom he talks is ready to agree
that his" man is just the man for
the place and that all the voters in
that section are more than anxious
to help him get the nomination and
the Office. The average voter will
solemnly promise his support to
every candidate that comes along.
and no sooner is one out of the way
than he is ready to give the same
assurances to the next worker. to-
gether with revised opinion as to
the prevailing sentiment. Thus
each candidate is always buoyed up
with the hope-if not the actual
conviction-that everything is rosy
with respect to his own chances.
and he continues to repeat to his
friends that he has a cinch
OF course it is palpable that
where a number of aspirants are
after the same nomination or the
same Office, and each is certain
that he is the particular one who is
going to get the necessary plurality
OF the votes, some of them must be
mistaken IN their estimates. Only
one can win in & contest, and al

MEMORABLE PATRIOTIC DEMON
STRATION.

The fortieth national encampment
Of the Grand Army Of the Republic
has completed its work, and the 49,
900 soldiers who attended the great
rennion, together with the 100, 600
friends who went with them, have
dispersed and are returning to their
homes. In many respects it was the
most notable gathering ever wit
messed on the occasion of national
encampment. In past years not so
many civilians have attended the
encampments; now, three civilians
to one soldier appear. It is true
that large numbers of these are
made up of the families of veterans,
but aside from these there are tens
Of thousands who come from all
parts of the country to be present
at the gathering, anxious to mani
fest their good will and show their
appreciation for past services, and
enjoy new baptism of patriotism.
Never before in the history of the
order have SO many people from all
walks OF life, given half a day along
the line OF march to watching Of the
veterans whose marches are fast
drawing to a close. The patriotic
outbursts, the songs, the cheers, the
remem brances and kindly acts told
of the interest they had in the
event and Of their desire to convey
to the veterans how keenly their
efforts Of long ago were appreciated,
and how high an estimate is placed
upon the patriotic demonstration.

but this is a detail open to adjust
ment. Twenty six thought social
advantages on the farms are not
equal to those in cities, which is
also a matter Of opinion, Sixteen
said they had a natural bent for
something else, which is a point
that deserves consideration ALWAYS.
Others objected to farm monotony.
and fifteen said they would return
to farming as soon as they made a
pile Of money at something else.
Many Of these young men are the
victims of illusions, and, unfortu-
nately of kind seldom cured ex-
cept by experience. Probably they
are not aware that 90 per cent of
those who branch out into general
business fail to accumulate any con-
siderable wealth, while the positive
wreckage in means, health and
comfort is large. A farm is never
mOnOtOnOus to good farmer. 1t is
rather a book OF fresh interest each
succeeding day. A surplus at the
end Of year is the rule on a farm;
in the city a surplus is an exception,
and the style OF family living, on
the whole is in favor Of the country.
But statistics show that plenty of
boys remain on the farms. The
farming population of the United
States in 1900 was four times as
large as in 1850, and the value of
their property increased fvefold, or
from 81, 900, 000,O0O to $4,000, 600,
900.

A PRETTY GOOD REASON.

A good deal has been said about
some Of the Stalwarts being for
Davidson and against" Lenroot in
the contest now being waged for
The gubernatorial nomination, but
# this is 50 there is, Of course. a
good reason for it. And nothing.
possibly, could give better explana-
ton Of this reason than q state
ment contained in The Whitewater
Register, which says: Governor
Davidson says he wants to see a
legislature elected which will do its
own thinking and Fass bills that
will represent the wishes of the
public. Lenroot says that if elected
he shall consider 1t his duty to push
such legislation as he considers
right and for the general welfare.
In other words Davidson would be
such a governor as the founders of
the government contemplated, aud
Lenroot would seek to be the hull
sing himself For our part we
like the Davidson idea the best"
This is the whole thing in nut
shell, as viewed by at least a good
many of the so called Stalwarts,
who have evidently decided that in
2 choice between Governor David
son and Mr. Lenroot the former is
entitled to first consideration. In
other words Governor Davidson,
while a man Of independent ideas,
staunch honesty and firm convic-
tiOns in what he believes Is right, is
nevertheless willing to concede that
others may have, and are entitled
TO have, opinions and convictions of
their own, and that the only way
to arrive at ultimate good is to place
the responsibility on all-the peo-
p'e-instead of trying to do the
peoples thinking for them. There
fore he plainly says that he wants
TO see a legislature elected which
will do it's own thinking and pass
bills that will represent the wishes

of the public Mr.. Lenroot, on the
other hand, taking his cue from the
dictatOrial policy Of La Toilette, in
sists that if he is elected he will con
slder it his duty to push such legisla-
ton as he considers right and for
the general welfare, which means
that he would set himself above the
people and their official represent
atives, and try to tell the latter VIVA
to do.
AS between these two policies it
is only natural that a great many
probably majority of the~oters
belonging to the Republican state
party honestly believe it is better
and safer to trust the man who says
he has confidence in the ability,
intelligence and integrity of the
people to select their own repre-
sentatives, and confidence in these
chosen representative to carry out
the wishes Of the people who select
them. It is the real reason, in fact,
why not only SO many Of the
Stalwarts, but so many of the Half
Breeds also, are in favor of David
son and against Lenroot for the
next party nominee. Both may be
good in their way, but Governor
Davidson's way is regarded as so
much superior that it gives him a
long lead in popular esteem and
favor His announced policy is one
OF martial fairness and reasonable
consideration for others, while as
The Register suggests, the Lenroot
policy is one that would make him

though each may fancy he is going
to be the lucky one, all must be dis
appointed in the end but the" one
who manages to pull out at the head
of the list. Nevertheless it seems
to be part of the game to invari-
ably insist ''our" man simply has a
walk-away, and that all the others
are practically out of the game.
And meanwhile all of the contest
ants keep up their frantic search
for support, impressed by the ever
lingering fear that after all some of
the voters who have been giving
them such favorable assurances are
either mistaken or wilfully mislead-
ing them.
It's funny game isn't it?

NOT ALL BOYS LEAVE FARM.

The question of why boys leaye
the farm is one much asked Of late
and variously answered. An official
connected with an eastern agri-
cultural college has made a sum
mary Of the reasons given by $50
sons of farmers for abandoning the
pursuit Of their fathers. Sixty-two
of this number said that farming
does not pay. A strong argument
can be made on the idea that it pays
better than other forms Of business.
The secretary of agriculture has
stated that the products of the soil
IN this country in 1905 reached a
value of $4,000, 900, 900, which is a
good deal Of wealth to divide up as
reward in one industry. Seventeen
of the young men said the hours of
labor on the farm are too long. No
doubt they meant acerta1n seasons,

Why Budworth Should be Nominated
For Sheriff

The Office Of Sheriff Of county
is a very responsible Office and the
qualifications aud moral character
of a candidate for that Office should
be carefully considered. We have
seen men elected to that office who
have served the county faithfully
and retired with the complete res
pect Of the community, to others
the Office has been a curse. Ia re
cent years the people have demand
ed clean officers.
1t is more or less a lottery in
voting for new man to fill that
Office; he may bring credit to ycu
or he may disgrace you. There ale
many temptations to 60 to the
devil when you are hunting for
criminals, as they are usually found
and traced in criminal resorts, fnd
the officer who traces them, il he
hasn't got backbone, may fall down
himself. We have seen it happen.
We have a number of candidates
for the office of Sheriff this fall,
some Of whom are good men. None
however, except Albert Budworth
have had the opportunity to show
the stuff that's in him.
He was village marshal of Bloom
ingtOn for years; he left Blooming
ton with q MAGNIFICENT record as an
officer; he then moved to Lancaster,
and was for years chief of police Of
that city, and he can have no great
er recommendation than the fact
that every CRIMINAL and law breaker
hates him. If however a stronger
endorsement is needed, all you have
to do is to refer to the statement of
DR.. S. E Hassell in the last issue Of
