Vote for John Horton for Congress.


A man without any political record
except that he served the town as
mayor for several terms, but what
is better he is a successful business
man, and has made a success in his
own affairs and will represent the
Third District and work for the best
interests of all the people.
Vote for him because he is a man
that made his own way, worked on
the farm because he had to, paid his
own way through college, went into
business, and the people Of the town,
realizing that he would do to trust,
helped him to organize a bank, and
he has made a success of it.
Having made a success of every
undertaking, don't you believe he
will make you a good Representa-
tive?
Coming from the people and hav-
ing to make his own way and not
born with a silver spoon in his
mouth-don't you believe him more
capable Of realizing the hardships
and struggles of the great majority
of the people? If you do, vote for
him. Every indication is that he will
be in the second race, and if he is
he will be elected.
Help put him there by your vote.

about quick change from this COM
paratively prOsaic work to that of ac-
tive army duty.
Troops Quickly on Scene.
Within few minutes headquarters
had notified Maj. John H. Russell that
reinforcements were on the way to aid
him, and in little more than an hour,
instead of 24O marines composing the
command OF Maj. Russell at the out
post of Ell TEAR there were in position
to support him more than 1900 men,
while the entire garrison of Vera Cruz
was ready for any movement that
might be ordered
Seven companies of the Fourth in
fantry were sent forward under the
command of Col. Robert Van Vliet, as
well as two battalions and three COM
panies of marines commanded by Cot.
John Archer Lejeune.
When Col. Van Vliet and Col, Le-

ing of not more than four or five shots
at range of about 1.500 yards.
From Maj. Russell's lines only one
shot was fired.
The waterworks station at Ell Tejar
forms the most advanced post in the
American lines and was placed SO far
out Of the city only because the author
tiles regarded it as essential to protect
the city's water supply.
It is generally assumed that the Mex
lean threat to take Ell Tejar was
little more than a bluff, and it is
thought that the Mexicans perhaps
hoped the American outpost at that
place, which was only little more than
half their number, might surrender or
that they might defeat the Americans
before reinforcements could arrive.

buried with military honors. He may
be buried in Arlington cemetery beside
the military leaders of the nation.
General Sickles passed peacefully
away at ten minutes past nine last

Thursday and since then Mrs. Sickles
has been nursing the aged veteran.
# General Daniel Edgar Sickles was
the last of the great commanders who
fought the battle Of Gettysburg. For
a decade he was fighter by profes-

nature.

shot away in battle, his massive head
resembling Bismark's, was pictures

crutches during the last half century
of his turbulent life.
His indomitable fighting spirit re-
mained to the last. Born in New
York City in 1925, Sickles, at the age
Of o. fought the wings as democrat
in the New York legislature. At 28,
he displayed his fighting spirit as cor

was he who secured for his city it's

military career began as major Of the
