selecting county committeeman
from this county for the Firs
Congressional district andfor thu
purpose of selecting delegates tc
the Jonesboro convention which
meets on, sthes29th inst, for tht
purpose Of terminating candi
date for congress,
The,meeting.swa called to or.
der by j. Mts,Heritage and on mo-
ton he was made chairman. D
C. Ward was made secretary. On
motion of C. F. Boyer the old or
. der Of appointing a committee on
resolutions was dispensed with
and the resolutions which had
been prepared were read, Mr..
Boyer stating that the resolutions
for all conventions were prepared
in advance and it was not neces-
sary to send out a committee to
take up time, The resolutions as
read and adopted follow:
First. Belt resolved that we
believe in the. doctrines and prin-
ciples as advocated under the
leadership of such men as Lincoln,
Grant, Garfield, Mckinley and
Roosevelt" and that we heartily
endorse the broad and progres..
sive ideas and principlessas advo-
Gated by our favorite Leaders, Ex-
President Roosevelt; and that,we
oppose centralized government
where monarchs and kings may
say come and say we must go, be
-it.right or wrong -..ss.4f''
Second. We Believe, as. our
fathers did, in a free government
of our commonwealth by the peo-
pie, and in the enforcement Of the
laws as they appear on the statue !
books of our state, nottslmply
singing out some poor i unfortu~
nate who sells a pint of corn whiS-
key, for the purpose of meeting
public approval and self aggrand-
izement, and then, like the hypo:.
critical pharisees, stand ont the
street corners and proclaim. to
the world: "You see how | en-
force the law" when this same
pharisee with closed eye and.a
deaf ear stands by where the laws |
Of our, land are openly and fla
grantly violated and is pleased to
let it pass unnoticed.
Third. In part we favor the
present election law, but most
and positively oppose
that part Of same passed for
Cooke county in 1911 seeking to
disfranchise some of ourI best
citizens, because they unfortu-
nately areIunable to read andivote
the ballot now in use. The great
est burden of disfranchisement
this new election law imposes falls
upon the old soldier of the civil
war who shouldered his gun, left
his home and his parents, his
brothers and sisters and others
dear to him and went forth to
serve his call to arms and in this
long struggle his opportunity for
education was lost. The old
soldier and the man who cannot
read his ballot, under this pure
and fair'' election law is placed
side by side with the criminal

"As fellow citizens of his home

with pride to the fact that none of q
the small county papers which f

to criticise any official act of his, Y
and they dare not, as much as '
hey would like to do so, de- e
1ounce the things for which he Z
has stood, so effective v
y for the last four years.

has grown to young womanhood here
and is possessed of a pleasing dispo-
sition which readily makes friends
and they are legion. The groom is
one of Decorah's well known physi-

man of the highest integrity and
worth, and the many friends of both

Cripple Fast Trayo'er.

DEBORAH was visited by young
his feet He got about in the most
unique manner we ever saw, for
man in his condition. He rode in
little box % inches long and 10 in
ches wide on the bottom, with one
roller skate securely fastened in the
center on the bottom of the box. He
propelled it with his hands, using
two Little pieces of wood, about an
inch thick with handles on looking
much like a fiat iron, and the way
he spun along the sidewalks and in
to the stores was sight to see. 1t
mattered not what kind of an en-
trance business house had he boun-
ced right up into the store, and spun
himself and the box around on the
roller skate. He told us that he
could command a speed of eight TO
ten miles an hour, and going down
hill he said he could go at the rate
of thirty miles an hour We will
take his word for it, as he certainly
hit only the high spots going along
Water street, and incidentally he
picked up good many dimes and
nickels. A good many of the dimes
were dropped to him on the novelty
of his conveyance, more than on his
condition, as there has been so many
men in his condition along here this
year, that the charitably inclined
persons were beginning to draw the
line.

suitable to the occasion. Later in
the afternoon the bridal party re-
turned to Fayette. From there the
bride and groom went to Elkader for
short visit at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. H. l.. Griffith, thence going to
Chicago for weeks stay, when
they will return to Fayette to make
their home. After their departure
from the scene of the wedding the

witnessed the ceremony those from
out of town were Mrs. Hathaway of
lRidgeway, mother of the groom !;
Mrs. Chester Williams of Calvin, n.
D., his sister; and Mr.. and Mrs. H.
l.. Griffith of Elkader, Mr.. Griffith be-
! ing Mr.. Hathaway's partner in the

gritty, clean personality and good
business ability. For the past ten
years he has been publisher of the
Review at Ridgeway, in connection
with this work being postmaster for
the past three years.
