GOT HIS NUMBER.

Last Tuesday evening Constable John
H. Roach received a telephone message
from the Frederick Authorities to stop
an automobile that was on its way
to Milford, the driver being wanted
for . fine of SIT. Constable Roach on
leaving the phone went out into the

it was not long before he observed the
automobile, and ran out throwing up
mis- hands for the machine to stop. The
driver of the car, however, ignored the
waving of the hands of the constable
and opened up his machine and went
through Milford at top speed. Mr.
Roach was keen enough to get the
number of the machine, and through
the Secretary of State the offender can
be easily apprehended and brought to

LODGES BULLS EYE SHOTS
Massachusetts Senator States Some
Truths In Few Words.

When Senator Lodge of Massachu-
sets opened the Taft campaign in
Ohio recently he uttered some truths
in few words. Here are few Of the
sentences which ought to be read and
remembered:
Il believe most profoundly that now.
as In the past, the success of the Re-
publican party is for the best inter-
ests Of the people of the United
States"
The Democratic house presented
the wooden schedule In form which
would put an end to the wooden manu-
features Of the United States and
would slaughter the product Of the
American sheep raiser"
If you desire to strike down the
sheep and wooden industries Of the
United states, give the Democrats full
power. and you will have it done; If
you do not, the only way to preserve
them Is to elect Republican congress
and Republican president"
III the proposed constitutional
changes should be carried into ef-
feet they would completely revolution
ize our system and theory Of govern
ment. as we have known 1t since the
beginning of history"
"All the progress that has been
made in this country In so years has
been by the Republican party"
The Republican party has always
been the party of sane and rational
progress under the Constitution"
THE Republican party stands for lib
erty as against license; for order as
against confusion; for loyalty to the
great principles of justice and freedom
which have been handed down to US
from the days of Washington; in one
word, it stands for the constitution
which Marshall interpreted and which
Lincoln saved"
