DYKES At REAMSvlLLE.


Reamsville, June Ito the Ed
tor Of The State Journal: We had q
rousfng old Republican meeting here
Saturday when DR.. J. B. Dykes-who
is the Republican candidate for con-
gress from the Sixth district. gave
one of the best speeches we have
heard here in many years. He COM
pared the prices received for produce
during Republican times with those
Of today. He presented figures that
couldn't be disputed in such a plain
way that all could understand.
DR.. Dykes has served the people OF
Lebanon and community as a trust
worthy physician and has hundreds
of admiring friends who have known
him intimately for years. Women as
well as men will support him and we
predict that he will be elected by a
large majority. We feel confident he
would serve the people as worthy
official. His daughter. Esther Belle.
came along and gave one of the best
equal suffrage-prohibition talks we
ever had the opportunity of listening
to and although she is young it would
have done credit to one many years
older than she.
MRS. NJ. A. M'CAMMON.
