VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC
TICKET STRAIGHT

The democratic party of Graham
county nominated at the primary
election In September representative
business men of the couaty for the
different county offices.
Every candidate has lived here
for years and is well-known to the
people of his community. Every
candidate is capable of performing
the duties of the Office he seeks and
all are pledged to an economical ad-
ministration of the affairs of the
county.
Graham county is democratic by
a good margin and every candidate
on the ticket should receive the full
support of the people and be elected.
The fine record made by the Hunt
administration shouldappeal strongly
to the people of this county and
every democratic candidate for a
State Office should be swept into Of
fee again by a rousing big majority.
We should not forget our old
friend. Senator Mark Smith. and
give him the biggest majority he has
ever received in Graham county.
Carl Hayden's fine record in Con-
gress should be indorsed by the peo.
pie of Graham county by a majority
Of votes that will help swell the vote
our popular congressman will receive
in the State.
The reelection of Senator Smith
snd Representative Hayden will be
an Endorsement of President Wilson'S
administration. and every demo-
cratic voter should realize that it is
absolutely necessary for the success
of the democratic administration that
every democratic candidate for
senator and representative should
be reelected to the Sixty-fourth
Congress.
Every democrat who believes in
his party and its principles should
get out and work hard for the sue
cessful election of every democratic
candidate for federal, State and
county offices.

tanned and advanced the plans Of
the party and speak out my advo-
cacy of his claim for reelection,
But, of course. ! cannot do this; and
with so clear a record no Member
of Congress needs a spokesman.
What he has done speaks for ITSELF.
II it be a mere question of political
fortunes, | believe the immediate
future of the party to be as certain
as the past is secure.
THE democratic party is now in
fact the only instrument ready to
the country's hand by which any
thing can be accomplished. 1t is
united as the republican party Is
not: it is strong and full Of the zest
of sober achievement. and has been
rendered confident by carrying out
great constructive program such
as no other party has attempted; 1t
is absolutely free from the entang-
ling alliances which made the re-
publican party, even before its rup-
ture. utterly unseryiceable as an in.
strument of reform: its thoughtI its
ambition, its plans are of the vital
present and the hopeful future. A
practical Nation is not likely to re-
ject such q team. full OF the spirit
of public service. and substitute, in
the midst of great tasks. either a
party upon which deep demorali-
zation has fallen or a party which
has not grown to the stature that
would warrant it assuming the re-
sponsble burdens Of state. Every
thoughtful man sees that change
Of parties made just now would set
the clock back. not forward. ! have
a very complete and very confident
belief in the practical sagacity of
the American people"

EXTRAVAGANCE

To have adequately maintained
the army and navy during this
world crisis. is that extravaganza?
To have given nearly $4,000, ,0OC

by the war. is that extravaganza?
To have set aside an additional
81 900, 900 with which the State De.
partment is performing the diplo.

tire world in the great capitals of
Europe. is that extravaganza?
To have diverted. temporarily.

cludes a new service of vast pro-
portions and infinite benefit to the
people, and which is paying busi-
ness now--is that extravaganza?
The truth is that the democratic
appropriations throughout represent
the use of the peoples money to
advance the public interest-~a pol.
icy which the republicans quite con-
sistently oppose. Will the truth or
the lies win?

PRESIDENT WILSON COM.
MENDS CONGRESS

The following is taken from Presi-
dent Wilson's letter to Hon. Oscar
w. Underwood, democratic leader
Of the House Of Representatives. in
which he told Of his appreciation of
the team work and cooperation of
the democratic members of the
Sixty-third Congress, who helped
the administration carry out it's pro-
gram Of constructive legislation.
Among these are Senator Mark
Smith and Congressman Carl Hay
den. both candidates on the demo-
cratic ticket for re-election:
Il look forward with confidence
10 the elections. The voters Of the
United States have never failed to
reward real service. They have
never failed to sustain q Congress

this administration, have sought to
render them a permanent and dis
interested benefit in the shape of
reformed and reetifed laws. They
know that. =" our task is not
done; that great work Of con-
structiye development remains to
be accomplished, in building up
our merchant marine, for instance.
and in the completion of great
program for the conservation of
our natural resources and the de-
velopment Of the water power of
the country program which has
st this session already been carried
several steps toward consummation.

Congress in close sympathy with the

The democratic party is on record
as favoring woman's suffrage, but
the republican party is absolutely
silent on the question of equal rights
for women.

What the Old Guard Republicans
really want and hope for is return
to tariff graft, wholesale. Any tax

If the people approve of the
policies of the Wilson administration
they should vote for the Senatorial
and Congressional candidates in the
coming election who will uphold the

door. Diligence rewarded her, and she soon
found herself in a large, musty earth-smelling
cave. Loot was scattered about, and there
were boxes and chairs and large chest
Men evidently met here, possibly after some
desperate adventure against society. Sne
found nothing to reward her hardihood, and
as she was in the act of moving toward the
caves door she beheld with terror that it was
moving!
She was near the chest at that moment.
The cave was not deep one. There was no
tunnel, only wall. Resolutely she raisei
the lid Of the chest, stepped inside, and drew
the lid down. She was just in time The
door opened and three men entered, talking
vOlubly. They felt perfectly secure In talk
ing as loudly as they pleased. To Florence it
seemed almost impossible that they did not
hear the thunder of her heart? Strain her
ears as she might, she could gather but little
Of what they said, except:
" If Hargreave had this paper we might all
be put on the defensive. To an outsider it
is a blank paper. But the boss will be able
to read it. - The speaker moved
away from the vicinity of the chest and she
heard no more
Very deftly Florence raised the lid Just
enough to peep out. The mar who had been
talking was putting the note in his hip pocket.
As he turned toward the chest he sat down
on the soapbox Immediately in front Of the
chest. An inspiration came to the girl, an
exceedingly daring one. She took her liberty
in her hands as she executed the deed. But
the dimness of the cave aided her. When she
crouched down again the magic paper was
hers.
1t seemed hours to her before the men left
the cave. As she heard the hidden door jar
in closing she raised the lid and stepped out
breathing deeply. The paper she had pur-
loned was indeed blank, but Jones or Jim
would know wnat to do with it. And
wouldn't they be surprised when she told
them what she had accomplished all alone?
Her exultation was of short duration. She
heard tne whine of the door on its hinges
The men were returning Why?
They were returning because they had dis

about desperately. She saw but one chance.
the well. And even while the door was
swinging inward, letting the brilliant sun
shine enter, she summoned up the courage
and let herself down into the well, which
proved to be nothing more nor less than an
underground river!
The men came in with a rush. They upset
boxes, looked into the chest, and the man who
was evidently in command gazed down the
well, shaking his head Their search was
thorough, but they found no one. and at
length they began to reason that perhaps a
woman had got as far as the door and then
turned away, walking ON the turf
Meantime Florence was borne along by the
swift current of the river, which gained in
swiftness every moment. From time to time
she bumped along the rocky walls but she
clung to life valiantly. In ten minutes she
was swept to the other side of the hill into
the rapids; but the blue sky was overhead,
she was out in the familiar world again On,
on she was carried. Even though she was
half dead, she could hear the roar of a falls

Braine thought he really had clue to the
treasure, and with his usual promptness he
set about to learn If It was worth anything
He procured launch and began to prowl
about using pole as a feeler. All the while
he was being closely watched by Norton, who
had concluded to hang onto Braines trail till
he found something worthy of note. Braine
was disguised, but this time Jim was not to
be fooled. But what was he looking for,
wondered the reporter? Braine continued
to pole along, sometimes pausing to look over
the gunwale down into the water. In rails
ing his head after the last investigation he
discerned something struggling in the water,
about three hundred yards away. The cur
rent leisurely brought the object into full
view. 1t was young woman with just
