THE VOTE THAT CHANGES.

When the bull mooser asks a re
publican to vote for the candidates
on his county ticket he asks him to
aid in putting democrats into office
and with a few exceptions, the demo-
cratic candidates on the county ticket
are palpably weak and incapable OF
efficiently discharging the duties Of
the offices to which they aspire.
That IS why hundreds of bail
moosers are going to vote for the re
publican county ticket In fact it
may safely be said that the great ma
iority Of the bull moosers were not
in favor Of putting a county ticket
in the field.
When a man asks you to vote for a
bull moose candidate just explain the
situation to him in this way: Your
candidate is all right. he is a fine fell

He was a real statesman and as
the presiding officer Of the senate was
considered one of the greatest parlt-

TERRoRs FOE GAY WHITE WAY

We wonder how many men. Of the
thousands who tread the primrose
path Of dalliance and all that sort
of thing, appreciate the real lesson,
for them. Of the Jack Johnson case.
They are not especially concerned
with the racial aspects of the sltua-
ton. but they may we'll reflect upon
the discovery that the federal govern
ment can, under the Mann act. or
white slave act. send to the Deniten-
tiary the man who extends his Joy

line
The impression IN the public mind
at the time the Mann act was passed
was that It applied solely to white
slavers, so-ca1led. that is, to those
creatures who commercfalized the
traffic. But the law itself applies
very definitely to the reputable
business man who takes his affinity

candidate and it elects democrat TO

know that every republican vote that
is cast for a bull moose candidate is
a ovte for a democrat
The democrats in Lake county had
the opportunity Of lifetime to put
good strong ticket in the field They
lost their opportunity when they
made their nominations.
The Independent voter might have
had some reason to support a
STRONG democratic ticket lie has
absolutely no reason to support the
present democratic ticket Part OF
the nominations were dictated by
men who would be a positive menace

come important political factors as a
result Of the election Of their nomi-
nees.
Does any one doubt that T. l..
Knots would control Martin Gin III
the event Of his election to the office
Of sheriff Why Knots made CHS
candidacy possible And everyone
knows what Knots control Of the
sherif's office in Lake County would
mean.
And taking this same situation.
Malioy. the BUN moose candidate for
sheriff. IS a nice fellow. He might
make a first rate sheriff. But a vote
for Malloy is not a vote for MaIloy.
It is vote for Gill and hence a vote
for Tom Knots.
And 50 It IS in a number of other
instances. The republican who Is
honestly and conscientiously trying
to pick the best men for the offices
on the county ticket must take this
into consideration

1t is question Of men and not Of

IS the question that If all Of the bull

tickets they would undoubtedly elect
a part Of the democratic county ticket

absolutely inefficient county officials
And even If they accomplished this

CRUMPACKER SENTIMENT.

The last few days Of the cam
paign have seen such a crystalliza-
tion Of the Crumpacker sentiment in
the Tenth district that his election
IS almost a certainty now.
The voters Of Lake county must
remember this one fact that in Judge
Crumpacker they have a representa-
tive at Washington whose work there
has entitled him to the respect and
confidence Of hundreds of democrats
who will vote for him regardless of
politics
These men as well as men of other
parties care nothing for politics as
far as Judge Crumpacker is con
cerned.
They want Lake County represent
ed at Washington by a man. real
man whose experience has been such
that he knows how to do things and
get things for his constituents.
No democrat ever asked Judge
Crumpacker at Washington to do him
a favor but what he got action right
away, He has been absolutely non
partisan. He is a true representative
Of the common people. The inter.
ests'' mean nothing with capita

The drift is to him now.
