Conception of womens power in the
field of politics can probably be traced
to the achievements of the Ladies'

Davitt in 1881 as an auxiliary to the
Irish Land League.

WOMEN IN
POLITICS
THEY PLAY A VERY IMPORTANT
PART IN GREAT eRl-
TAIN.

More than one member of the new
British parliament must acknowledge
IL truth that much of the credit for
his success at the polls is due to the
energetic Campaigning of women ad-
herents.
In no country in the world do prom
1nent wOmen-wOmen of proud titles
and aristocratic position--take such i
pronounced part in political cam
paigns, SO energetically engage in the
active work Of vote getting, as in
England, says the Detroit News-Trib-
une.
Since the days of George ILL.,, when
the beautiful Duchess of Devonshire
won hundreds of labor votes for Char
les James Fox by kissing butcher,
English women have maintained a de-
cided interest in public affairs and
have exerted their utmost influence in
behalf of favored candidates; but this
winters campaign has witnessed
greater exertions on their part than ev-
er before. In rain or shine they have
toured political divisions in motor
cars; have addressed meetings; sought
out and pleaded with voters in shop,
factory and counting room; have d.
rected organized movements, raised
campaign funds and in other ways
made themselves not only interesting
but exceedingly important and influ-
entail factors in the contest.
Plucty Mrs. West.
"All Saturday." stated a press dis
patch during the height of the heated
conflict, ut rained cats and dogs in
Manchester, but Mrs. Cornwallis-west
never faltered in her activity.
"She was here, there and every
where, speaking, persuading and car
rying voters to the polls in her auto.
When it was all over, her son, Win
ston Churchill, mad carried the day
with a majority of 1,241 votes"
This is specimen Of the work done
all over England by enthusiastic wom-
en-.
There was no novelty in it to Mrs.
COrnwallis-West Years ago, as Lady
Randolph Churchill, she labored con-
stantly and effectively by her hus-
bands side in nearly all his enliven-
ing political battles.
In all the contests in which her son
has been engaged this remarkable
woman has come valiantly to the front
with the fighting blood of the Jeromes
aroused-for she is of the New York
family of that name, and is imbued
with the same bustling vigor that has
made District Attorney William T. Je.
rome such an interesting personality
In New York politics.
This winters contest in England
brought to the front several other
American women, and they are &C
credited with having made decided
ly marked impression.
One of these, Mrs. Almeric Paget
daughter of the late William C. Whit
pey of New York, probably inherited
her political sagacity and enterprise
from her distinguished and successful
father.

Everything on County Ticket Elected
But Sheriff.

: The election in Ford county on Tues
day resulted in the election of the Repub.
lican ticket, with the exception of sheriff.
The result of the election, however, Will
show that great deal Of scratching was
lgdulged In by the Republicans, and the

most of the candidates.
The state ticket shows up about the
same in Ford county as the county
ticket. Harris has carried the county by
small majority. and the remainder of
the Republican ticket was elected. The
official count will be made tomorrow, so
that the exact figures can be given in the

NOT so BAD, EITHER.
Ten-Year-Old School Boy Writes of
Evil Effects of Drink.

Ten-Year-OI School Boy Writes of
Evil Effects of Drink.
The following interesting and at the
same time instructive paper on drinks is
not taken from "Medical Talk" or any
Of the scientific publications, but 1t is
straight to the point and cllnches the nail
on the head. 1t was written by Harlow
Baker Pond. l0. year.old school boy, as
part Of bis school work:
WHAT COFFEE, TEA AND ALCOHOL DO TO
THE BODY.
After people taste coffee, tea or alco-
hol they like it and want more and more,
so when they try to quit 1t 10 not easy.
Coffee has good taste to some people
and bad taste to other people. Coffee
harms the body in many ways, 1t stunts
your growth, makes you nervous, and
when YOU are sick it makes you feel bet
ter, and after while you feel drowsy
and you do not feel Bit good.
Tea is bad drink; 1t is a poison like
drink; it has these things In it: tannln
and thiene in it, and this stuff is said to
be poison like matter. 1t stunts ones
growth, makes them light. headed, and If
you drink it before gong TO bed it will
make you have bad dreams. 1t makes
you nervous at night. Sometimes it will
make you feel good, just like the coffee
will, but you soon get drowsy.
Alcohol is another had drink; it stunts
the growth, weakens the body and makes
you mean 1t will make you dream of
snakes and other things bad, and 1t will
not make you feel any better, only that
1t will bring the blood 10 the surface of
the skin and it will soon cool off, and
when you get cooled off you are as cold
as ever and you cant see nothing, and
everything you do see looks double. The
men who practice to be IN show do not
drink alcohol, coffee or tea, because If
they did it would make them stiff and
drowsy, and they wound not feel like 60
ing to work and exercising, because they
are too weak and TOO sick to do anything
but lay down.

UNOFFICIAL RETURNS SHOW A few THOUSAND PLUR-
ALlTY FOR THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE.
THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET HAS WON
Ford County Loses Sheriff But Elects the Other Republican
Candidates. It was Land Slide in Majores
All Over Kansas.

Governor Hoch has been re elected 10
Kansas by q lead Of about 1000, unless
some wide mistake has been made In the
figures shown In the returns shown in an
unofficial way from nearly all OF the
Kansas counties. At noon today the word
came from Topeka that the returns from
all except nine small counties give Hoch
a majority Of over 1000. This seems to
be accepted generally as about what the
Official returns will show.
The Kansas City Star, published this
morning, says that the figures gathered
by that paper, give Hoch plurality Of
1000 votes over Harris The Star, how
ever, Is still claiming that the official
count may give the election to Harris.
From all of the returns It appears that
the race on governor is very much closer
than on any other state office, and the
rest Of the state ticket will be elected by
large pluTalltleb.
A number of Representatives on the
Republican ticket have been defeated
In the land slide, In counties which have
been going Republican here to- fore.
Yesterday morning 1t was generally re-
ported that Harris had been elected and
the democrats had day Of rejoicing
No different report was received In
Dodge City until last night, when mes.
sage came which changed the looks of
things very materially. The reports re-
-ceived since that time seem to practi.
cally settle the matter, and 1t is believed
here to-day that the official count will
not change the present figures great
deal.

Ieutenant governor of Kansas.

lieutenant governor Of Kansas.
c. M. Beeson is elected for representa-
tive by majority Of about 100.
In the First commissioner district In
Ford county w.. Duncker, the present
commissioner, was reelected.
In few precincts in the county the ex-
act vote has not been learned, so that the
majorities Of the different candidates are
not definitely known, but most Of them
are pretty closely estimated.
The vote on sheriff showed remarka-
BILE landslide, which can In no reasonable
way be accounted for. Capt. Sweeney is
a good man, and the Republicans Of the
county had no just grounds for voting
against him. The returns, however,
show that Mr.. Bell was supported BY a
good share Of the Republicans 10 nearly
every precinct. 1t was supposed chat the
Second ward would gu heavy for Bell,
because 1t had gone that way two years
before, but 1t was not expected that the
Third ward would do so. The same sur
prise came from many other precincts,
and the result was majority of about
400 for Mr.. Bell.
Sam C0nnaway carried bis usual heavy
vote and was elected county clerk by a
ma jority of about 900.
George Stumph had closer race. His
opponent, Harry Taylor, is quite popu-
lar young man, and his friends were do
ing lot of hard work for him. Mr..
Stumph s election was practically assured
at the start. so that he did not push on his
campaign as hard as he would If he had
been IN a closer contest, The result of
the work done by Harry Taylor and his
friends was reduced majority for Mr..
Stumph, but he is safely elected by some-
thing over 100 votes.
For clerk Of the district court Fl. III.
Wells was reelected by majority of
about IT'S. Mr.. Crutchley made good
race and lot Of the boys In Dodge City
were working hard for him in the cam
paign.
Carl Van Ripper for county attorney
made winning race, and will have
about 100 majority.
For county superintendent F. G. Wood
bury made strong showing, and he will
have more votes than was necessary.
Judge Preston had an easy voyage and
got through with votes to throw away.
He will succsed himself as probate judge.
E. l.. Smith of Spearville has been
elected surveyor Of Ford county by ma
jority which is supposed to merely equal
The difference in weight (avoirdupois) of
the two candidates.
DR.. Whitworth for coroner received a
large vote, and was reelected by good
maJoity.
Sid Reynolds was elected county treas.
lrer by big majority, and was one of
the candidates who had easy and sure
sailing.
The complete vote will be given In this
paper, and it will probably be ready so
hat 1t can be printed next week.

THE SALE OF THE
NORMAL BUILDING
DeFuniak Breeze.

The item in the news columns of
this paper in reference to the sale of
Normal Buildings is Of much more
than passing interest not only to the
people of DeFuntak Springs and Wal
ton county, but to the state at large
and for that matter the whole south,
in that it means the establishment
here of another educational institu-
ton of more than local importance,
AMI to our own people in that it brings
several things to the front that here
tofore have been too little thought
of.
The first of these from a local view
point is that it forces to the front the
question Of a new school building, and
one in keeping with the growth Of the
town.
Our high school must go on. 1t
cannot do so without a building Even
with the use of the Normal buildings
this year the facilities have been tax
ed to provide for the pupils of our
own town and county and those from
other localities who wished to take
advantage of the educational oppor-
tunities afforded here, but if we had
been able to retain these buildings,
and be it remembered that even after
been able to retain these buildings
by the PresbyteTians, the State Board
would not consider it until the school
board had been given an opportunity
to purchase them, and refused or neg
lected to do so, or so far as we can
G~s- -
tain what the wishes of the people
were in reference to it, we might
have been able to go on for a year
or two until some arrangements for
bonds or other equitable means of
raising the money to build with might
be devised.
AS it is now, something must be
done and that at once. Just what is
the best plan to pursue we confess
ourselves unable to say but some
thing must be done and that at once.
Another thing brought TO the front
especially in this campaign year is
the necessity of looking more care
fully to the election of men on the
school board. In the past there has
been a hullabalOo over such largely
clerical offices as those of tax asses
sOr and collector, while the much
more important offices of members
of the school board are given only
secondary or no consideration.
We do not wish to be considered as
complaining that the Presbyterians
have gotten these buildings at perhaps
one-fouTth their value. We are glad
of it
Glad of it because it means a school
that will add further prestige to De.
Funiak as an educational center. Glad
Of it because it is going to force our
people to take important interest in
the all important matter of schools.
Glad of it because it means another
step and = long one towards that ten
thousand population. COngratula-
tons then, all around.
