WAR VETERAN
TURNED DOWN
Dr.. L. L. Bond, Member Of Pension
Beard of Denison, SummariIy Dis
missed by Democratic Party.
DIspENsEs PATRONAGE
Seeks to Reoreanize Pension Board
in Denison-Surprise to Or. Bond
and His Friends. -.

"Drs. Rosburg and Wright, of this
city. have been appointed pension ex-
aminers for this county to act with
DR.. Meehan, who has been one of the
examiners for some time. me."-Denison
Bulletin.
The statement might have properly
read that slap in the face had been
given civil war veteran by the
democratic party in the summary dis
ison. DR.. Bond has been one
der. from the pension board Of Den
ison. Dr. Bond has been member
of the pension surgeons of Denison for
several years and his work. so far
as known, has. been entirely satisfac-
tory. Drs. Boyle and Meehan were
the two other members of the board
Until DR.. Boyle moved to Florida
something like two years ago, which
left a vacancy oni the, board.
Under the plan OF distribution Of
patronage of the Wilson administra-
tion one Martin j. Wade, OF Iowa City.
Iowa. is the representative OF the
president for the state Of Iowa. and
Mr.. Wade has representative in
each county to tell him who should get
the plums in the county. Mr.. Caswell
is the dispenser of patronage for this
county. Several months ago Mr.. Cas-
well concluded to reorganize the pen
sion board OF Denison. BY recon-
mending someone to fill the Boyle
vacancy it could easily have complet-
ed the board, but it was concluded to
have dismissed the only republican on
the board and to recommend another
in his place. so Mr.. Caswell ap-
preached DR.. Wright and suggested
him for place on the board, and DR..
Wright, innocently thinking that he
was to take the DR.. Boyle vacancy.
readily consented to accept it and
waited until a few days since when
he was notified of his appointment,
and about the same time notice was
sent to Dr. Bond telling him that he
was relieved from the Office, which of
course was a great surprise to him.
as no request had been made for his
resignation and no complaint had ever
been made that his services were not
satisfactory. We do not charge that
DR.. Bond was dismissed because he
is an old soldier, but it seems too bad
that he should have been made vic
tim of democratic machine methods.

with all the world, the democrats find
that according to the tariff law which
was passed since Wilson's election
the income from customs and other
sources are entirely inadequate to pay
the running expenses of the govern
ment. Two things he emphasized are
found in actual practice in the dem
ocratc administration: First, the eX-
penses of the government are increas-
ing and the revenues to meet the eX-
penses are decreasing and this eX-
plains why the democratic party
is resorting to the income tax and the
war tax to raise money. He showed
the predictions of the democratic
party in the campaign preceding Mr..
Wilson's election that it would keep
down the expenses of the government
when the very first year after his
election the expenses increased more
than hundred millions of dollars.
The only item of appropriation re-
duced was that of pensions OF the vet
Grams of the civil war.
He contended that there would be
no necessity for raising war tax had
it not been fer the blunder of the
party in power He insisted that if
proper tariff Law had been passed
the revenues would have been suffi-
cient to meet all expenses and that it
was because of failure to pass such
law and on account OF the increase
in the expenses OF the government
lhrt the war tax was resorted to.
He spoke Of the affairs of the state
and the satisfactory condition in
which they are to be .ound. He laud-
ed the republican party for it's sue
cessful management i'll state affairs
during the many years the party has
been in power in the state.
No unprejudiced person could listen
to speech like that of Mr.. Harding
without being convinced that the only
party in this country capable of sue
cessfully managing the affairs of the
government is the republican party,
and we are satisfied that not Il single
auditor left the hall in doubt as to
the wisdom and propriety of electing
a republican to succeed Woodrow
Wilson.

Brothers, who have been interested in
| heavier than air machines for -four
years and have devoted greater part
of this time to travelling about the
country giving exhibition flights. The
planes, which were 40 feet from tip to
tip, were constructed of maple wood
frames covered with very heavy can
! yass, drawn tight by means of wires
The machine seemed almost network
of fine wires, but each one had some
particular duty to perform and OF
course was equal to the strain to
which it was put. A SO horse pow.
er four cylinder gasoline motor pro.
PEELED the large wooden paddle which
forced the machine through the air
The engine was of the two cycle type
and a greater portion of it was manu-
factured OF aluminium to make it rs
light as possible. Mr.. Savage stated
that such a machine might be pur-
chased for $4,000, but that he and his
brothers had manufactured this one
themselves. He was not very much
pleased with the ground from which
he had to make his ascension and
stated that it was one of the worst
fields he, had ever had to fly from.
About 2 O'Clock the machine was
pushed to the top of the hill up near
the college and Mr.. Savage took his
seat while the machinist started the
motor. A nod from Mr.. Savage and
the machine was let loose and started
racing down the hill in southwest
erly direction, but he had not gone
over $50 feet before he had it raised
from the ground and scared out over
the beautiful Boyer valley at a merry
clip. 1t was a pretty fight and plain
ly visible to all. First he started east
and circling he climbed to an eleva-
tiOn of 5000 feet. when he pointed
the nose of the machine west and
sailed over the crowd. After few
minutes of flying he started to descend
and with several Wide circles he
brought the machine down near to the
park and with graceful dip landed
on the football field, stopping the ma
chine within co feet.
PushbaIi Contests.
After the aeroplane exhibit the
crowd was given a real treat. The
immense puSnBall recently purchased
by the Agricultural college at Ames,
was loaned to Denison for this occas-
ion and three games were played to
the amusement of the crowd. The
pushball was seven feet in diameter
and was placed in the center of the
field and the opposing teams, consti-
tuting twenty men each, lined up at
each end Of thn field Tho whistle
from the referee was the signal to
commence play. and the sound being
given both teams rushed for the cen
ter of the field and endeavored to push
the immense sphere -drrUss the other
sides goal line.
The first game played was between
the pupils Of the sixth grades. but this
contest resulted in a tie for neither

HARDING MAKES
STRONG SPEECH
Lieut.. Governor Harding Greeted by
Fairly Good Crowd Saturday and
Makes Convincing Talk.
CANDIDATE oEweLL SPEAKS TOO
Demonstrated That Re Was Able to
Talk in Logical Way-If Elected
Would Have Strong Views -.

The republican meeting on Saturday
evening at the opera house was fairly
well attended for a Saturday night
meeting and it certainly was treat
for those who attended.
P.'J. Klinker called the meeting to
order and introduced Winfield Scott
Moore. OF Manila. candidate for coun-
ty attorney, as the chairman of the
meeting. Mr.. Moore then presented
Hon. j. S. Dewell. candidate for SEN
ator i'll this district, and while Mr..
Dewell had not come prepared to
make speech, he delivered a very
pleasing address and touched on some
OF the issues of the campaign. He is
a man Of good address and spoke with
perfect ease for perhaps ten or fif-
teen minutes. He demonstrated that
he was able to tal.i in logical way
and that il elected to the senate he
will be able to present his views in
a lucid manner.
At the conclusion OF his remarks
Lieutenant Governor Harding. who is a
candidate to succeed himself, was then
introduced and made most enter
tanning and convincing argument in
favor OF republican policies. Mr..
Harding takes to speech making like
a duck to water" and although he
occupied an hours time or more ev-
eryone felt it would have been pleas
ure to have listened to him longer.
The heaviest blows which he dealt
against the democratic party were
against its record on the tariff ques-
ton. He was able to show what must
inevitably follow the application OF
democratic policies on the question of
raising revenue. He said that it was
we'll known that from democratic
standpoint the only purpose of levying a
tariff was to raise revenue without any
thought OF protecting industries and
building up manufactures. while the
policy of the republican party was two
fold: First, to raise revenue, and sec
ond, to place the duties on imports in
such manner as to build up and
foster home Industries.
He. was able to assert and none can
controvert the proposition, that never
in the history Of the republican party
during time of peace did it fail to
raise revenues without resorting to
direct taxation. while now during a
time when the country is at peace

MANY ATTEND
AERO FLIGHTS
Although Weather Interferred With
Fridays Events, Birdman Makes
Two Good FLIGHTS.
pusAsALL GAME INTERESTING
Football Game Saturday Between JEFF
ferson and Denison Results in
Victory for Home Team. a..

The exhibition aeroplane fights and
athletic events held at the new ath-
letic park Friday and Saturday of last
week failed to draw as large crowd
OF spectators as had been expected,
but this, no doubt. was due to the fact
that the roads were bad and the
weather threatening, keeping many
people from distance from coming
TO Denison. The two days events
were staged for the benefit Of the Ath-
letic association in order to help raise
money to pay off the Indebtedness in
CURED in order to complete the i'm
provements on the grounds. We are
in formed that after all expenses of
the two days had been paid the asso-
citation had left in the neighborhood
of $4,000.
1t is to be regretted that the crowds
outside of the grounds, both on Fri
day and Saturday. were larger than on
the inside. and had all of these peo-
pie been public spirited enough to
walk to the gate and pay the small ad
aission fee asked, the association
would have easily made enough to pay
off the indebtedness. The aeroplane
fights being at the college grounds
made it easy for people to congregate
On the hill north and along the street
south and west of the field and view
the fights almost as we'll as if they
had been inside.
Friday Afternoon Program.
Friday was not very good day for
an exhibition such as was given in
Denison. for the day was cloudy and
it threatened to rain and many people
did not care to attempt a long drive
to- Denison. Nevertheless, there was
a good crowd at the grounds by 2
O'Clock in the afternoon and many
were there from surrounding towns.
The aeroplane proved to be the big at
traction OF the afternoon and hundreds
of people took the opportunity of eX-
amining it. The machine arrived in
Denison Thursday afternoon, being
shipped here in boxes and crates by
express. 1t was hauled to the athletic
field, where Mr.. Savage and his me-
chanic assembled the numerous parts
and got it in readiness for the flights.
The machine was of the Curtis and
Wright biplane type and weighed in
the neighborhood of 700 pounds. 1t
was manufactured by the Savage

Perhaps the parties responsible for
relieving him from the office in the
summary manner it was done will be
able to explain the reason for the ap-
parent heartless treatment accorded
him. We are sure that DR.. Wright did
not, for one moment, believe he was
supplGnting DR.. Bond in agreeing
to accept place on the pension board.

Shetland pony in Shreveport, and the
handsomest two-wheel carriage ever
owned by any boy.
This $500 prize was presented TO him
at the Saenger Theatre last night by
Manager +. Y. Richards, in the presence
many more on the outside trying to get
in.
Messrs. X. A. Grain and j. E. Howe

Richards in making the award, and
when it was announced that the little
pony and cart would he given to John
