dreds of subscriptions awaiting the
alert. One candidate called at the
office this morning and wanted to
know if there was any better offer
coming later on. She said that she
had quite a number of promises for
subscriptions for the last week
of the campaign, but that
she could get these earlier if she
could state positively that there would
be no time later on when they would
count to as good an advantage.
One point that we want to impress
upon every one in this campaign, and
the ones that are not in the campaign
is that this is absolutely the very best
offer of the whole period, and the per
sons taking advantage of it now, and
securing every possible subscription
will have nothing to regret. There
viii be no time later on when more
votes will be issued on subscriptions,
or when candidate will have chance
to turn in their subscriptions to a bet
ter advantage.
Miss Matte Lewis leads the field
today with 1S5,946 votes to her credit.
Miss Lewis was nominated early in
the race, and has worked untiringly
since. Her friends have rallied to her
support very nicely, as her score to-
day shows.
Mrs. ]. L. Kearney stands second.

policy has been characterized as sub.
stituting dollars for bullets. It is one
that appeals alike to idealistic human.
itarian sentiments, to the dictates OF
sound policy and strategy. and to le-
gitimate commercial aims"
The President adds that because
modern diplomacy is commercial, there
has been a disposition in some quar-.
ters to attribute to it none but ma.
terialistic aims"
How strikingly erroneous is such
an impression may be seen from a
study Of the results by which the di.
plomacy of the United States can be
judged" says the President.
The message concludes with an
earnest appeal to Congress to co-ope-
rate with the executive in its efforts
to apply the old principles of diplo.

The campaign was about three weeks
old when Mrs. Kearney was nominat-
ed. Her hundreds of friends are
eagerly watching her standing from
time to time and are anxious to have
her win.
w. d. Smith, Miss Bessie Peeler and
Miss Rubye Easterling, of district
three, are all within striking distance
of the leaders, and before the double
vote offer is over, will doubtless hold
different positions in the race.
AS the time grows close, the friends
of the several candidates are taking
a keener interest in their favorite's
progress. Quite a number of folks
are watching the several standings
with intention of entering themselves.
The race is still open to all, and a
person may enter at this time, and
the double votes secured on a small
amount of business will place one
among the leaders. If you have no
favorites in the race so far to sup
port, get in yourself OF nominate some
one who you know would appreciate
the $3.50 Pullman touring car as their
Christmas present. There are prizes
for all, and there is lots of room for
new candidate or scores of them to
enter. The campaign does not close
until Dec. 21st, and there is lots Of
time in which to enter and win youl
prize.
Do not forget the fact that this offel
of double votes, and $500 In cast
ends Saturday night, Dec. 7th, at Il
o'clock Hustle now as you have new
er hustled before and make up for
lost time.

Best Offer of Campaign is Received
With Enthusiasm by Everyone

How do you like the new offer?
Think of the prospects; twice the reg
ular number of votes on all your sub
scriptions, and an opportunity to win
some cash. Is this not enough to
spur you on?
1t is quite evident that the offer is
not understood by all the candidates.
For instance, one candidate thought
that only yearly subscriptions entitled
him to double votes. Double votes
are issued on all subscriptions turned
in during this week, but only yearly
subscriptions will apply on the cash
part of the offer. The schedule this
week is as follows.

democratic platform cerries its
argument direct to the pocket book
of the average citizen. Governor
Wilson has already sounded the key
note of democracy In the plank
ple<lging an investigation Of the
high cost Of living. The humber
the citizen. the more re realizes
what these years of excessive pro-
lection have done. He keeps pay
ing more for food and rainent
while the growing extravaGences Of
the trust barons shows all too con-
clusively where the profits from the
consumer go. RaCt.hanalian revel-
ries at Newport this summer by tire
favored nhllionaires put To shame
the nadsiest efforts of the old ROM
an empesOrs. And meanwhile the
common people are told ti,at the

SPuD EXPERT
FOR the U. P,

Eugene Grubb has been appoint
ed potato specialist for the Union
Pacific railroad system. 1t is equiv
alent to having the poptato expert on
hand during every day OF the year
to advise, and assist the potato
growers OF the state to become the
foremost producers in the country.
Last year the position was offered
to Grubb, but on account of other
work he was then engaged in he
postponed his acceptance until this
fall. He begins his duties imme-
diately. 1t is expected that Grubb's
investigation OF growing conditions
will do much to combat potato dis
eases which are not only local but
which affect every district In the
United States, whether 1t IL irrigated
or dry.
Cooperation with the growers OF
