the First, Third, Fourth and Sixth.
Clark didn't make a sweep any
where except the Bridgeport dis
trict, but secured strong vote
throughout the county. Layman
secured more than half Of his votes
In the 10Th and 18th districts.
For Trustee, Harrison Sexton
was a winner by a majority of SOP
which was an attest to the esteem
in which he is held by the people
Of Cooke County and show that
they appreciate good service on
the part of a county official. Mr..
Balch was making his first race
before the people and his friends
have no cause to feel ashamed of
the race he made. Mr.. Sexton
carried every district in the coun-
ty but one. that being the second,
Mr.. Balch's home district.
Sexton made a good showing
of strength in the Third wherein
his first race he was badly beaten.
He also ran unusually well in the
Twelfth and Thirteenth districts.
In the race for county court
clerk, John Holt secured the lar
gest total vote of any of the can
didates, his vote being 1873. He
lost but two voting precincts in
the entire county.
| For register, the three corner
ed race between Jones, Shuts
and Haun was an interesting one
and Jones secured the nomination
through the fact that he lost bu'
| fifteen votes in his home distric
at Del Rio. Jones carried the
First, Second, Eighth and Ninth
Shuts carried the Sixth, Fifth
and Seventh while Haun carried
the Third and Fourth. For cir
cult court clerk, Lowell carried al
but three precincts, McGaha no
carrying a district.
McMahan for the legislature hat
no opposition and but little atten
ton was given his name on the
: ballot although he polled LOG!
votes.

Failing to agree on candldateS,
Senators Lee and Shields have
come to an agreement and divid-
ed the first and second districts
with each taking several counties
in each and thus there will be no
further controversy in regard to
patronage in these counties. In
the announcement there comes
the assertion that H. Goughenour
is to be the postmaster at Greene
vile and that John E. Helms is to
be postmaster at MorristoWn, the
senators having agreed on these
appointments before the division
| of counties was made.
The following agreed statement
was issued by the senators:
"The administration, for the
purpose of preventing friction,
growing out of conflicting endorse
ments Of Senators Lea and Shields
concerning postmasters, and
other patronage connected with
them, consequently delay in max
ing appointments in the first and
second districts, has assigned tc
each of them certain counties in
which their respective recon.
mendations will be considered anC
prevail when consistent with the
efficiency Of the service. The
postmaster-general has insisted
that this be done for some month:
but upon account of some objec
tons. 1t has been DELAYED unit

President Wilson Sends a
Message to the Democrats
of Tennessee
LIQUOR ISSUE IS SETTLED

ence of Senator Shields and

That In His Judgment 1t is the
Duty of All Democrats In Ten

Sake of Success of Their Party.
Washington. March l4.-f ever
these was any kind of misappre-
hension, misinformation or mis-
understanding of President Viii
sons attitude toward the Dem
ocracy Of Tennessee, the last
vestige of it was removed by his
positive declaration today that the
causes which divided the party in
Tennessee no longer exist.
The President leaves no ground
for doubt in any mind that Demo-
Gratis in Tennessee must win their
battle by uniting not only for the
restoration to power of the party
in the State, but to aid in uphold
ing the strength and prestige Of
the party in all the States. The
president has invoked the counsel
of prominent Tennessee demo-
Gratis here, with the result seen in
his statement as given below.
The statement was made late
this afternoon in the presence OF
Senator Shields, Representative
Hull and Chairman Doremus OF
the Congressional Committee, for
whom the President had sent
The conference was earnest and
concluded not only without a
Shadow of misgiving, but with the
deepest qualification on all sides
The president made it very plair
and quite as positive as any Other
observation by him that no ex
preston has ever come from hin
or from the White House tina
could possibly afford any reason
to imagine the cause of fusion
against the Democratic party IL
Tennessee had encouragement a
any time from the administration
To say that Senator Shields ant
Judge Hull are profoundly please'
by the readiness of the President
statement and his complete grasl
of the situation is to state matte
of deep elation quite mildly.
The good news spread rapid
among Tennessee Democrats her
and tonight they are once more
happy set Of party men.
The statement follows:
my judgment is very clear an
decided that it is the duty of a
Democrats in Tennessee to az
commodate any differences the
may have had in the past an
stand solidly together for tn
prestige and success of the part
throughout the nation. The n;
ton is now accepting the service
of the party as of the highe'
benefit to it, and every Democr'
should consider it a part of h
duty and privilege to contribute
the hearty team work which h;
in recent months made the par
so effective in the nation.
AS see the situation, the caus,
which have divided The party
Tennessee no longer exist. I'll
issues which caused the divisit
no longer exist. The issues whi'
caused the division have be-
settled. The thought of eve

TO THE ORIENT
OF For Tour of Palestine, Egypt
and Eastern Countries. Two Wau-
seon Ladies Start on Well Earned
Vacation and a Sight Seeing Tour.


Thursday evening Miss Adeline
Howard and Miss Emma Edgar left
Wauseon on train f6, L. S. & M. S.
Ry. to start on a tour that will keep
them going and seeing until along
about the first of April. They will
reach New York on Friday morning
and spend Friday, Saturday and Sun
day in that city; they embark on the
S. S. Rotterdam which sails from Ho-
boken, N. j., at / a. M, February
End, on Clark's Cruise to the Orient.
The first landing will be made at
Madeira and from. there to Cadiz,
Spain, where the ladies will disem-
bark, Miss Howard going to Gran
ada to visit the far-famed Alhambra
and Miss Edgar to Seville; both lad
les will meet the steamship at Glib
raltar where they will re-embark and
except for these two or three days of
separation the ladies will remain to-
gether for the entire tour. The next
stop is at Athens, the great center of
learning of ancient Greece and made
famous to Bible students by Pauls
memorable address to the Athenians.
From Greece to the capital city of the
Moslem Empire, Constantinople.
From Constantinople to Palestine
which country they will enter from
the North and in which they will Wis
it all of the places of historical fame;
this tour of Palestine will be made in
carriages so the ladies will be saved
the discomfort of horseback riding.
Egypt will be the next country visit
ed and side trip up the river Nile
will be enjoyed by the Misses How
ard and Edgar. Homeward bound
they will visit Rome, The Hague and
Villefranche. The passenger list
for this, cruise includes about one
hundred persons from Cleveland, the
largest number of persons from any
other one place is seven from De-
troit. y
The ladies anticipated pleasant
instructive and profitable outing and
their many friends are trusting that
they may not be disappointed. We
all wish them "Bon voyage" and a
safe return.

VACCINATION
The Attitude of the State Board of
Health on the Subject. Resolution
Passed by the Board Under Which
1t is Now Acting.

The following copy of resolution
passed by the State Board of Health
has been received at the Tribune Of
fee from E. F. McCampbeli, Phi. D.
M. D., secretary and executive officer
of that board:
Whereas, smallpox is now prevail
ing to an unusual extent in Ohio and
other states, and
Whereas, recent successful vaccina-
tion is a certain, and the only known,
means for prevention.
Be it resolved: That boards of
health and boards of education be
urged to require that all children at
tending school shall be successfully
vaccinated.
Be it further resolved: That this
Board condemns the so-called "inter-
nal vaccination, believing it to be
non-protective against smallpox, and
adopts the following definition of vac
cination, which was adopted at the
Conference of State and Provincial
Boards of Health of North America,
held in New Haven, Conn.,, October
28th, 1902, to-wit: "An incubation
by scarification, puncture or injection
beneath the epidermis of a vaccine
which produces, with some constitu-
tional disturbance, the typical vaccine,
vesicle, which leaves. after the pock
has healed, its characteristic Scar"

ROLL OF HONOR
Movement to Raise Funds For Sol
diers Monument Progressing-Pat-
riOtism of Fulton County People Be-
ginning to Manifest Itself. The
Roll Grows Longer.

Since last weeks issue of the Trib-
une eight new names have been add
ed to the Roll of Honor and it is quite
evident that the movement to raise
the necessary funds to- erect the long
delayed monument to the memory of
the gallant "Boys in Blue" who went
from Fulton county to the defense of
their country's flag and honor, will
continue to gain in momentum until
the funds are all raised and the peo-
pc of this county have the satisfac-
tion of placing this permanent mem
orial to the honor of their heroes and
their own patriotism where it may
stand as a testimonial of the true
Americanism of our population. Last
week the Roll of Honor bore the first
five names given below; to these we
have the pleasure of adding eight
more:
The Roll of Honor

tributed by pupils of that school.

and contributed by pupils of that
school.
]. S. Bradley, sr., cash contribution,
$500.
Fred Pike, cash, $1.OO
George Gype, cash, so cents
Curtis Porter, cash, SO cents.
There are others from whom we
expect to hear in the near future and
we know that the list of those who
respond to this appeal to patriotism
will grow.
We trust that teachers will not
neglect to bring the matter up in their
schools and report the results to the
secretary. Where schools make
contribution as schools, certificates
suitable for framing and hanging in
the school room will be issued to them.
Let US work together as people and
carry this worthy project to success
full completion. SEC'Y.

LETTER FROM S. A. MILLER
Columbus, Kan, Jan. "a, 191.
Editors Tribune:

Columbus, Kan, Jan. "a, 1914
Editors Tribune:
We left the hospital at Pittsburg
about two weeks ago and have been
here in Columbus with Mrs. Miller's
friends where she is recovering
strength and we expect to be able to
start for our home in Florida about
January 2Sth.
Down deep in the human heart, un-
seen by the casual observer, like a
mystic river, flow fountains of hu-
man sympathy and christian love,
which has been an important factor
IN building up and strengthening Mrs.
Miller. Our hearts are full of thank
fulness to the dear good friends who
have sent us so many tokens of
friendship, words of encouragement
and expressions of sympathy. To the
Ladies Aid of New Bethel, the Ladies
Aid of U. B., Wauseon; the w. R. c.,
of Wauseon; W. C. T. u, of Wauseon;
Royal Neighbors and many individ-
uals who so kindly remembered us in
hours of affliction we can only say,
God bless and keep you and reward
you for your kindness. 1t would be
impossible for US to answer all of
your kind messages but by the kind
ness of the editors of the Tribune we
acknowledge their receipt with thank
fulness. Our postoffice address will
be Windermere, Florida.
Since January 9th weather here
has been delightful, bright, sunny
days and little or no frost nights.
Wheat has made such rank growth
that many farmers are turning the
stock on to keep it eaten off and some
have gone over their wheat fields
with moving machines and cut it
back to keep it from jointing. This
unusual growth of wheat and grass
at this time has been a God send to
farmers here as on account of ex-
cessive heat and drouth here last
summer; farmers were poorly sup
piled with feed for their stock.
Prairie hay is selling for SIG per
ton; corn shipped in here sells for rs
cents per bushel, or about $1.05 per
hundred, off cars. There is much
real estate offered TOR sale with but
few buyers.

loss.
Her toll is past, her work is done,
And we believe she's truly blest.
She fought the fight, the victory won
And entered into rest.
Then let our sorrows cease to flow,
God has recalled his own,
But let our hearts in every woe,
Still say thy will be done.
Funeral services were held at the
family home on Friday afternoon at
