MAY PICK OUT SLATE

Many oouncilmanic and other candi-
dates are expected to appear tonisnt
at O'Clock before the East End Busi-
ness Citizens Association.
The meeting will be held in the
club room on Chimborazo Park. The
candidates tor Council from Jeffer-
son ward which now embraces this
section of the city, formerly Marshall
ward. have been invited to state their
case before the voters.
The clubs membership consists Of
the substantial citizens Of that see
ton of Church Hill. They have for
several years been something of a
power In political and civic move
ments.
While it is not believed the club will
endorse slate 1t Is not unlikely
that there viii be some discussion
along this line. The general senti-
ment is that of the five members of
Council to be chosen at the primary.
1.-The HILL" one from Fulton. and the
other two from the west side Of the
ward. that portion which included
old Jefferson ward.
Present Memberships.
Old jefferson has now as its rep
resentatives In Council, Messrs Mills.
Selph, Wiltshire and Hirschberg,
There Is one vacancy. occasioned by
the death of John Lynch. Mr. Hirsch-
berg will withdraw to run for the
Administrative Board, leaving but
three of the present members to
stand for reelection. and all three of
them have already announced them
selves.
In Marshall ward the situation is
somewhat similar. The present ~>-m-
bership OF Common Couibil is h.ch-
ards. Sullivan, Rogers, Powers and
Lufnsder.
Mr. Richards will not stand for re-
election. as he will be a candidate
for the Administrative Board. That
leaves Sullivan. Rogers, Powers and
Lumsden. all of whom will stand for
reelection.
If the plan OF selecting one man
from Fulton prevails. that place Will
go to Rogers. who is the only man
from that section now in Council;
it will leave three men on top of the
hill to fight for the two places. which
will place them in the same predica-
ment In which the jefferson ward
men find themselves
This situation will be further com
plicated by the announcement OF
others for Council. There are at
least three other names to be placed
on the list. Messrs. Gallagher. Welsh
and Weston.
So that it appears that the chase
for votes in Jefferson ward will prove
strenuous II not a merry one. And
the real campaign is likely to start
at ChimboraZo Park tonight.

SIX REASONS WHY
Congressman Thomas Deserves denomination

of time and more than Mr.. Rhea
did during his entire time in office.
ca MIR. Thomas is a man indus
trlous habits and works. Mr.. Rhea
is a man of indolent habits and
dosn't work, and when the people
of the district pay a Congressman
seventy-fve hundred (S7, 5oo) dol
lars per year for his service, they
want man who will "stay on the
job" and attend to the peoples busl-
ness.
90 Mr.. Thomas is a man of 70
bust health, physically able to do
the work of the office: Mr.. Rhca' s
health gave way during his last term
IN Congress, and his friends were re
luctant upon account of his health,
to have him enter the race this time.
(6) The Rhca family has been
repeatedly honored by the Dsmocra-
cy ofthis district. Mr.. +. 5. Rhea
who is a brother to John Rhea. is
now'Statc treasurer; Mr. ~ G.. Rho a,
another brother, is now Sheriff Of I.o
gan county. Iflhe Democracy owes
the entire khea family living
would it not be better policy, as
well as more just, to pass the hat
around for their beacht rather than
keep all of them in Office during
thc.i na,atai lives To the exclusion
of other worthy aud deserving Dem
ocrats?
Mr.. Thomas apl C ,ls to the sense
OF Justice and taisness of the Third
District Democrats, and places be
fore them reasons why he should BE-
re nominated.

Home Of Henry Weeks Burned.

Last Wednesday afternoon about
4 so O'Clock the home of Mr.. Henry
Weeks, who lives near Nebo, was
totally destroyed by fire, and only a
small part of the contents saved.
Mrs. Weeks was III, and a daughter
had built a fire in the kitchen stove
to prepare the evening meal. 1t is
supposed that a defective nue car
ried the fire into the space between
the roof and ceiling, and the flames
had gained great headway before
the fire was discovered. By the
time help arrived it was impossible
TO save anything. The loss is total
one, as was no insurance, q polio y
having expired about a month before
Mr.. Weeks and his family have
been shown the greatest sympathy
by their neighbors and friends, and
more than $500 in money has has
been contributed to their relief, be-
sides many necessary articles tha,
have been given them. Arrange
ments are being made to rebuild the
home.

Hon. R. Y. Thomas Speaks Monday

Congressman Bob Thomas, IN
the home of his friends and admir-
ers, spoke here Monday afternoon
at O'Clock to d crowd that filled the
seats, gallery, aisles and all open
spaces in the Circuit court room.
His address was of some length, as
he had many things to say, and he
said them with the vigor and direct
ness for which he Is noted. He had
audience with him, and was frequent
ly interrupted by outbursts of ap-
plausc. Thomas declared that he
would again be chosen as the party
leader, and showed that he was
flushed and pleased with the honor
in store for him.
The record., 1912-08-01

The following recently appeared
as an editorial in the Glasgow Times
CD Bob Thomas should be nom-
mated for Congress over John Rhea
because he Is stronger before the
peoble and can poll five hundred
more votes in the district than Mr..
Rhca can. Mr. Rhca has received
the Democratic nomination in this
district five times for for congress
and has twice been defeated by Re-
publican nominees. Mr.. Thomas
has been the Demacratic nominee
twice, and has each time carried the
district by pronounced majority
over the strongest man the rcpub-
lican party could put against him.
(1) Mr.. Thomas redeemed the
district from republican rule at a
great SdClluCc oI tllnC anu money
when no other Democrat could have
done it. 1t has been customary
for tho Democracy of the district to
give at least three nominations to a
Democrat who rcdcems the district
Justice, az we'll aa cVstoM, requires
that Mr.. Thomas should have this
nomination. and, as MIR. Rhea has
rcCeiy cd the nomination five times
from the Democracy of the district,
he ought 10 concede it to MIR.
Thomas at least three times.
81 Nh Thomas SINCE he has
been in Congress has made a record
for cihcicncy and attention 20 busi
ness, and during that time he has
done as much for the people Of the
district q. any representative al the
district ever did IN the same length

provided that nine Jurors could
make a verdict in a civil suit, and
the corporations, of course, were
very much opposed to the change.
The new Constitution also provided
that no railroad company could pur.
chase, or own parallel or compct-
ing line, and in that way stine COM
petition. Ii provided that the rail-
road companies and other public
service corporations should be tax
ed upon their franchises. Ii also
provided new and approved methods
OF assessing corporate property for
taxation. In short the new constr-
tuition broke the strangle hold which
the corporations had at that time
upon the throats of the people, and
the railroad companies and the
other great combinations of capital,
in desperate struggle to prevent its
adoption by the people fought it
tooth and nail. The corporations
employed the best speakers that
they could get to go upon the stump
and oppose it, and spent large sums
IN an effort To prevent its adoption
The Hon John Young Brown, a,

adoption of the new constitution
No, not on your life. Joh1 was
ON the stump all right, but he was
lighting for the corporations and
against the people. and in opposI-
tiou to the adoption of the new con-
al tuition. However, it may not be
amiss to say that the people of Lo-
gan county ia Id to heed Johns
cxortions, and by large minority
voted to adopt the the new consii-
tuition, and some have been unkind
enough to say that the speeches
John made against the adoption of
the constitution were not worth
$50. 90 piece.
MIR. Thomas method of fighting
the Predatory lnterests.is to stay It
his pos, OF duty, and consistently
vote in the interest of the people
whenever the opportunity presents
itself. Mr.. Rhea's method of fight
log Predatory Wealth consists in
cussing the corporations while he Is
chasing an ONCE, and then either in
lining up with them, when they need
him, or in going of and neglecting
his duty, and letting the Predatory
Interests have their Own way in leg
islation. We believe the people
will show by their votes that they
prefer Thomas m eihcds.
