w. b. DAWSON.

The Democratic party in Bates
county in presenting to the voters
the name of Watt Dawson as a
candidate for Prosecuting AttOr-
ncy may we'll do so with pride
and with confidence. A man,
tried and true, a gentleman of
ability, learned in the law and a
prosecutor who has neither fear
nor favor. AS a Democrat his
loyalty has been often tried and
proven, and never has he failed
to place himself in the front ranks
Of his party and battle tirelessly
and courageously for its success.
As a lawyer his standing is un-
questioned and his reputation as
a scholar extends into the higher
courts of the land. As o public
prosecutor he has behind him an
unimpcachable record of utter
fearlessness, economy and justice
of which the citizens of the coun-
ty may well be proud. As q man
he is well and intimately known
throughout the county to possess

HON, JAS. N. SHARP

Hon. James n. Sharp of Mound
township, who so ably represent
ed his county in the Forty Eight
General Assembly is again the
Democratic nominee for this i'm
portant place, his excellent lcgis-
lativc record having been laid be-
fore the people of the county in
detail and vindicated at the Aug
ust primaries by his constituents.
Col. Sharp, who is a native Ten
nessecan, comes Of good old Dem
ocratic stock and has been Il life
long Democrat. He has never
hcsitatcd to make any necdful
sacrifice for the good of his par
ty. The Republicans have made a
particularly bitter fight on Col.
Sharp and in their efforts to de-
feat him for reelection have not
hesitatcd to grossly misrcprcsent
his attitude OH important qucs-
tions. He is Il close student of at
fairs, has keen analytical mind
and is a dcbatcr of considerable
prominence. Bates county owes
it to herself to return him to the
State Legislature as her rcprescn-
tativc.

Que of the strongest and best
known citizens of the county. \
man for whom his party need of
fer no half hearted apologies and
man who won his place on the
ticket through his strength of
character and his unquestioned
honor, courage and ability. One
of the hardest working, most
loyal Democrats in southern
Bates county, he comes from a
big Democratic family, all of
whom have consistently fought
the party's battles for many
years. When in 1912 he was a
candidate for sheriff and was de-
fcatcd by narrow margin at the
primaries by his Democratic op-
pOnent, Joe Baker came up smil-
ing, with his coat off for his sue
ccssful rival and led his party in
the support of the ticket. His
qualifications for the office of
sheriff are unquestioned. His
dauntlcss courage has many times
been tested by violators of the
law and like his honor, has never
flinched and never found want
ing. The voters Of Bates county
cannot afford not to elect j. w.
Baker sheriff.

W. ID. YATES.

Weldon D. Yates, the Demo.
cratic nominee for Public Admin.
istrator is indeed well qualified
for the position for which his par.
ty has chosen him. His faithful
efficient administration of that
office in the past has amply dem
onstratcd to the people of the
county his unquestioned honor
and ability to justly and equit.
ably administer the affairs Of the
estates becoming his duty so to
do. He is an expert accountant
and has always taken a deep and
active interest in public affairs.

JOS. A. FLAMMANG.

Joseph A. Flammang, the Dem
ocratic nominee for county sur
veyor is probably one Of the best
known young men in the county
and his efficient, courteous ad.
ministration of the duties of his
office have commanded the re.
spect and regard of all with
whom he has come in contact
during his incumbcncy. An en-.
gineer of exceptional ability, he
has made a deep and comprehen-
sive study of the county's road
and bridge problems which has
given him an intimate knowledge
Of the conditions pertaining to
his office possessed by no other
man in the county. More perma.
nent road and bridge work has

served his county faithfully, hon
orably and well. He has made a
deep and comprehensive study OF
the county's finances and there is
probably no man in the county
who is better posted regarding its
financial affairs. His books are
models of accuracy, neatness and
are comprehensive in detail and
he has SO systcmatized his office
that not one penny comes into or
goes out of the treasury Of the
county but John Stone can at
any and all-times give a full, true
and complete accounting therefor.
His statements are complete and
comprehensive in every detail.
His books are open at all times
to public inspection. Any citizen
of the county may at any time
learn anything he cares to know
regarding the county's finances
from Mr.. Stone. He is a gentle
man in every respect, courteous
and accommodating and he has new
err failed to go to any length to
accommodate any one regardless of
politics who might have business
in his office. He comes of a fam
lily staumchly Democratic and has
always upheld the traditions of
his party.
The Butler weekly times. (Butler, Mo.) 1881-1918, 1916-11-02

Republicans are up to their old
tricks in this county of pretend
ing to trade votes with Democrats
but that brand of political film:
flam is too stale and too flimsy
to deceive even the most credul-
Gus Democrat. The Democrat
who trades his vote with a Repub-
lean is not only giving something
for nothing, but he is also giving
his Republican friend good OPP
portunity for hearty laugh at
his fOolishncss.

been completed during his in
cumbcncy than ever before in the
history of the county and more
economically probably than in
any other county in the entire
state. He is in every sense a self
made man and secured his excel

amply qualities him for his Of

ing hard work and perseverance.

Every man on the Democratic
county ticket was put thereon by
the vote of the people. Much Of
the Republican county ticket was
hand picked by the Republican
party bosses and placed on the

No real Democrat will be easy

Every man who voted Demo-

matter of honor that every man
should support the ticket if he
participated in it's nomination.

New York while engaged in gathering
statistics along the same lines. There
are many interesting questions includ-
ed in the list. The most important
are those that relate to the wages
paid, the number of hours worked per
day and week, the time which en-
p!oyees commence work in the morning
and close al night, the amount of time
allowed for lunch, the length of time
they have been engaged in the bust
ness, how much they received when
they first began work. whether they
live at home or board out, and what
the average cost of board and room
is in the State of Maine to the average
mercantile employee boarding in
private families or boarding houses.
Information will be secured as to the
regularity of work, the period of va
cation with pay; or without pay; on
sanitary conditions il the different es
Establishments. In fact, the investiga-
tions will be broad enough so that
when completed there will be no ques
ton as to the conditions of the en-
ployes in the mercantile establish
ments and how they compare with 9TH
,er states.
1T is earnestly requested that en-
ployers throughout the State CO.
operate with agents from the depart
nent of labor and industry towards
the end that a complete and reliable
list of statistics may be prepared. 1t
VIII be the aim of the agents from this
department who are sent out to GATH

the least possible amount of bother or
embarrassment to the employer. TO
the employe we would say that the
rame and address of the employe Will
be written on the bottom of the in

the blank arrives at this office, the bot
:om will be detached and filed after
which the blank will be referred to by
number only and the name Of the en-
ploye will not be disclosed 1t will be
considered confidential and our statis-
tics will give no names. 1t is expected
that it will take the number of people
