A WORD TO DECATUR COUNTY DEMOCRATS.

Next Monday, June 1st is primary election day, and
desire say few words to the democrats Of Decatur
county in regard to their duty in going to the polls and
voting While it is true there are contests the
democratic county ticket nevertheless every democrat in
Decatur county should consider his bounden duty to
go to the polls and vote at the primary election.
Decatur county this year has candidate for the
democratic nomination for governor Hon. V. H. McGln-
MIS- of Leon and it is due to him to receive full demo
cratic vote in his home county If the full democratic
vote in Decatur county goes to the polls it will give Mr.
McGinnis big boost toward the nomination. while if a
light vote is cast it will seriously jeopardize his chances
for winning the nomination.
Mr. McGnnis has perhaps done more for democracy
in Decatur county than other man. Year after year
he has given freely Of his time at great personal sacr
ce to go out and make campaign speeches, and the
voters Of the democratic party in Decatur county have
opportunity of showing their appreciation by getting
out to the polls and voting for him. There work
to be done in the way Of electioneering for him. for
every democrat who votes in this county next Monday
will cast his vote for Mr. McGinns, but there is vast
amount Of work to be done to get out full democratic
vote If you favorable to Mr. McGinnis candidacy
for the nomination Of governor you should make your
duty to that every democrat your township pre-
cinct goes to the polls and votes next Monday
It may be that few hundred votes will decide
the nomination for governor and it would be crying
shame if Mr. McGnns lost the nomination through the
indifference of the democratic voters of his home county,
in not getting out and voting.
Mr.. McGinns called upon to give his
vices in campaign for the good Of the democratic party
but what he responded at the great sacrifice Of his
personal business affairs In return for his many
Of service cannot you sacrifice the little time necessary
to go to the polls next Monday and cast your vote?
The vote for Mr.. Hamilton, Mr.. McGinnis opponent
for the nomination. will be large in the big cities of the
state where he is best known and to this big
vote it will be necessary for the rural supporters of Mr.
McGinns to go to the polls to a
There has not been a democratic campaign in Iowa
for the past fifteen years that Mr. McGnns has
been making speeches for the democratic party and
this year there opportunity to in slight degree
ward him for his many years Of faithful services in the
interest of the democratic party.
If you believe that Mr. McGinns would make good
governor Of the great state of Iowa. who would faith
fully the people Of the state you should devote
next Monday to working for him in the way Of getting
out the democratic vote.
See if you cannot make record for your precinct Of
getting out every possible democratic voter.

ment is as follows: First. on our
left wing. to the north of the Somme
and between the Somme and the
Disc, the enemy both by day and by
night, delivered several attacks.
which have. however been re-
pulsed. To the north OF the Aisne
there has been no change.
Second, on the center. in Cham

activities to heavy cannonanding
Between the Argonne and the Meuse

part of our troops. who are confront
ed by strongly organized forces. The
heights OF the Meuse in the Woevre
district and on our right wing. in
Lorraine and the Vosges. there has
been no notable modification in the
situation.
Generally speaking our line runs
from the east to the west through
the region OF Jont-a-M -Mousson, Aper-
mont and the Meuse. to the south
east of Verdun. Between Verdun and
Rheims, the general front is indicat-
ed by line passing through the re-
giOn Of Varennes to the north of
Souain and the Roman roadway
which runs into Rheims, the outposts
OF Rheims, the road from Rheims to
Berry -auBac heights known as the
Chemin Wes Danes.

this line then draws near to the
Aisne and continues into the region
Of scissors. Between Scissors and
the forest of L'Agiles at Rheims over
the fort plateau OF the right bank
of the Aisne. Between the Disc and
the Somme this line runs along the
front from Ribecourt (Which belongs
to us) and to Chaulnes (in possess
sion of the enemy. To the north of
the Somme the line continues along
|the plateau between Albert and Com

I'VE again took many prisoners

NEAR LUDLOW

unconscious while going from Lynn
to the vicinity of Ludlow. Conceal
ealed in brush and behind low hills
the assAilants hurled heavy bould-
ers at the two men, laying open
their heads and inflicting serious
wounds. 1t is believed the assail-
ants were strikers from the Ludlow
tent colony who mistook the two men
for working miners or perhaps mine
guards.
The injured men reported to the
federal army officers and declared
they could not suggest motive for
the assault They said they were

CITY COUNCIL
PERFORMS FOR

High School Class Visits
to Learn Ho,u Affairs
are Conducted


In pursuance OF the theory doubt
less that the best way to get ac-
quainted with anything Is to go up
and shake hands with 1t, Prof. S. J.
Shaded OF the Trinidad high school
last evening brought 20 members OF
his civics class to the city hall to OBJ
serve the deliberations of the coun-
ell. Thus it was that the mayor and
his happy family of municipal gov
ernors performed for company. The
session lasted but one hour, but in
that time the young men and women
into whose hands home day, perhaps.
the affairs of this city must be given.
learned the system by which coun-
ellis proceed to handle the affairs OF
u municipality.
1t was an intelligent interest that
the students manifested in the per-
formance OF the council. 1t is the
first time that high school class
has been present during the session
Of the city council. Hitherto the
students who delve into municipal
government have depended entirely
upon written word and hearsay in
struction. Last night they sat
around and looked and listened.
There was little OF real interest,
however. to claim the attention of
the council last night. Contrary to
former announcement the tax levy
for the year was not made. but held
over for subsequent meeting.
The council took further time to
look Into the matter Of raising the
scale Of wages OF city workmen. The
Trinidad Trades Assembly that two
weeks ago submitted a petition that
all employees receive $50 day and
eight hours last night urged fInme:
diate action by the council on the
former request. The mayor stated
that he was seeking data to ascer-
tain what scale OF wages other cities
paid workmen and hence action was
deferred until all information is
available.
Among the petitions was one from
Judge w. B. Morgan of Denver and
formerly of this city. who is the own
er of certain described property over
which the city's sewer conduit runs.
He asked that the city either arrange
to lease this property for its sewer
rights or else remove the sewer from
his premises. Referred to the city
attorney.
A bill in the sum of $1O1.40 was
allowed to John Roosa in payment
for curb and gutter constructed on
his property on the north side. A
petition of property owners asking
that certain piece of ground at
Park and College streets be vacated,
was referred to the townsite commit
tee. +"

ommending the granting of an appli-
cation for a dance hall license to

nue.. Report of special fines collect
ed in police court was read and a

ber for the use of the street COM

London, Sept. 29.-The eighteenth
day Of the battle of the Aisne. thus
far has brought no decisive results
but all indications continue to point
to an approaching end of the Romer-
ic struggle. Hand to hand fighting
now racing with such furv. is being
generally held to decide the issue.
All that the public is permitted to
know from the allied side that SO
far the British aud French armies
have held their grip on their posses
sions and have consistently thrown
back the masses of Germans who
have been bravely and incessantly
hurled on them in an effort to break
through the human barrier.
In Berlin it is asserted that there
is no change in the situation and that
the scales have turned slightly in
their favor. IL
The losses of the opposing armies
in the last few days of the combat
have been colossal. Even the Of

picture of thousands of dead and
wounded lying in the fire-swept zone
