LINING UP FOR ELLSWORTH

Newspapers in the second district are
lining mp for Frank Ellsworth for Con
gress. They all are speaking of hin
in the highest terms. This is what the
Jackson County Times says of the
gentleman from st. James: "Mr. Els
but he is the logical candidate. He has
everything in his favor to recommend
MIN to the voters of the district. He is
young, but not too young, he is ener-
getic with a commanding appearance
an attorney of no mean ability, also
a lecturer that is second to none to
which may be added the fact that he
is progressive republican"
Says the Rushmore Enterprise: "Why
there should be n desire on the part
of the republicans for candidate to
oppose Mr.. Ellsworth at the primaries
is not quite clear to the Enterprise.
Both Dinehart and Ellsworth were can
didates for congress on a progressive
platform. Now that death has removed
Mr.. Dinehart, it seems to us that it
er for the republicans to unite in the
support of Mr.. Ellsworth, who is a young
man of ability and unquestionable in
tegrity. Add to this fact that he
is a pronounced progressive and it is
hard 10 see where the republicans
could desire more
The manner in which Mr.. Ellsworth's
candidacy is being received everywhere
in the second district is indeed highly
gratifying to his large number of
friends. Mr.. Ellsworth is a clean cut
young man whose moral character is
untainted, and his public career is be-
yond reproach. He is of that type OF
young men who are needed in positions
of a young man that Theodore Roose
welt declares the times demand in poll
ties. He is capable, full of energy,
carries himself with becoming dignity,
is possessed of charming personality,
is fOrceful and pleasing speaker, has
had experience on the platform, and is
progressive. yet sensibly conservative.
He is well balanced He is safe and
sane. The district would be proud of
him in the lower house of congress.
Mr.. Ellsworth is a republican. He
has always affiliated with the repub-
lican party. He contributed his tai
ents to the state central committee
four and two years ago. He responded
to the call for volunteers and rem
dered valuable service to the oTganiza
ton. There is nothing unique in his
makeup. He is not millionaire, nor
has he accumulated string of banks.
He is plain, unvarnished American
citizen, a native of the second district,
and comes from good stock. He is a
worthy citizen-one that makes for the
best in life. If ability, determinations,
honesty and integrity count for any
thing. he will be the next representa-
tive from the second congressional dis
trict.

the Y. NJ. c. A. boys returned to the

and tanned, but happy and the bet

are enthusiastic about the camp.
Twenty-Five in all, besides the three
men in charge and the cook.
The weather during the entire ten
days was splendid and the daily pro-
gram consisted of morning dip
breakfast, bible study, baseball or
some other game, swim, dinner rest
hour, hikes or games, swim, supper,
chores. campfire with songs and stor-
les and a good nights sleep. There
was not an accident during the en-
tire period. With one exception the
health of all was the best and the APP
petites were keen. The cook, l.. Fl.
Kruger, who has served in this capacity
aboard ship, and made the sixteen
months trip with the battleships around
the globe, deserves special mention.

meals ready at the hour appointed,
and was always cheerful. His stories
around the campfire, about the trip
around the world and other exper-
fences always interested the boys.
The daily Bible hours with Rev. I.
r. Paden, on Heroes of the Bible"
were the pleasant spots in the days
program. The way he made the old

the boys and they will remember some
of the things he said for long time
and will let these things influence
tneir lives.
