Although this is large number,
1t Is believed that it is insignificant

Mrs. Gayle polIed about 1000 bal.
lots and ran her total nearly to the
$4,000 mark, winning the honor Ger.
tificatc for the day and the special
credit OF 300 for the week. Mr.. Greg
DRY also polled nearly 1000 and won
the special credit of 300 votes for
gentlemen. Mr.. Rogers had won
three of the six certificates, but his
total for the week was not so large
as that of Mr.. Gregory.
Several other candidates were wcll
supported. Most of them are doing
little talking lslt there seems to be
reason to believe that the vote today
will double the aggregate of ali the

Copyright, 1906. by Alfred c. Clark1
The most serious problem that con-
fronts the rural towns and villages
OF this country is the competition of.
Tered local enterprises by the cata-
iogue houses of the large cities. It Is
q problem for which a solution must
be found If the prosperity and sta
biiity OF the nation is to stand.
And the solution Of this great prob
lem lies in the ham, of the people of
the towns and villages and the farms.
especially the farms.
The people Of the rural communities
have everything to lose and nothing
to gain by sending their money to
the catalogue houses, by passing by
their local merchants and sending
their dollars to the concerns who have
absolutely no interest in their COM
munities.
These catalogue houses do not pay
taxes in your town; the local mer-
chant does. They do not build side
walks in your town; the local mer-
chant does. They do not contribute
to the building of roads over which
the crops Of the farms are hauled to
market; the local merchant does.
