THANKS TIE PEoPLE FOR CONFIDENCE

a state paper voices the CENSoR's
sentiments in saying that Governor
Phillip won the same splendid indorse-
mept of his administration election
day that he received primary day
He proved to be an inyincible candi-
date, and the reason is because he had
obtained and held the confidence of
the people by his record as governor
the last TWO years. His election tends
to promote conscientious service in
the interest of the people; it helps to
promote efficiency in state government
and economy in administration, for
these things have been rewarded at
the polls. Wisconsin will continue to
progress under the direction of Gov.
Philip the next two years, and not
the least of those to benefit by his poll
icies will be the farmers. We expect
to see marked advancement of the ag-
ricnltural interests, particularly along
the lines of improved Highways, better
schools. increase in land values. -,
The governor makes acknowledge
ment of his Appreciated in the follow
ing statement, given oat the day after
election:
II am truly grateful to the people
Of the state for their vote of app oval
of my administration. Ishall contfn-
Ne the policies | have inaugurated,
and with the aid of the legislature, l
shall expect to give the people state
government that is as serviceable as
government can be made for them
AT cost that will not be extravagant. -"

Halloween at Kitzmille.

On Tuesday evening, Oct. 3lst, a
party was given under the auspices of
the Mountain Girls Club. in Warwick
Hall, Kitzmiller.
The Hall presented very bewitching
appearance decorated with autumn
leaves, black cats, witches, etc, and
from every dimly lighted corner ghostly
JACKIE lanterns peeped forth, the
halloween colors, orange and black,
were carried out faithfully throughout
all the decorations, and the table was a
sight to delight the eye, laden with
every good thing which bountiful
autumn provides, and decorated with
jack-o- lanterns, black cats and autumn
leaves, while overhead hung multltudes
of witches to keep order in the festival
hall.
The young ladies', masked and dressed
as ghosts, were at the hall to receive
the getlemen, when at the witching
hour of nine they arrived disguised as
ghosts.
The one witch of the party then pro-
ceeded to auction off the girls to the
highest bidder, and amidst an air of
mystery the young folks thus got their
partners for the supper which followed

o. H. S. Notes.

The Home State Tour Boys arrived in
Oakland Monday on No. 50 and were
met by a committee of boys from the
High School composed Of the following:
Donald Sincell, Robert Porter, Charles
Garrett, Robert Sliger. Morgan Hine-
baugh, Carleton Hinebaugh, Townshend
Naylor, Edward Kahl, Ralph Robinson,
Uriel CheuYront, Wellington Hill, Vic
tor Harvey. A reception was given
the Home State Tour Boys at the
Maryland Theatre by the pupils of the
High and Grammar Schools, city Of
ficials and the ladies' of the Civic Club.
Addresses were made by County Super
intendent F. E. Rathbun. Pres. OF the
School Board r. E. Sliger and the rep
resentatives accompanying the boys.
Since the beginning of the school year
the hum of interested voices, the
click of scissors. and the purr Of
sewing machines have not been un-
common sounds. The vim with which
the thirty-six girls of the Senior and
Sophomore classes have been work
ing, fatty denies the assertion made by
their forty sisters of the cooking de-
partment that cooking is more inter
esting than sewing.
Last year millinery was added to the
household arts course. With the APP
proach of the winter season. the Senior
girls again turned their thoughts to-
ward that old, yet eyer fascinating art,
and so much interest was manifested
that millinery was repeated this year.
Do not forget to attend the entertain
ment at the Maryland Theatre. to-
morrow night (Friday.) 1t is given for
the benefit of the High School. The
proceeds will be used to purchase books
for the library We are badly in need
of books. Karl Jansen is the greatest
Swedish humorist and entertainer in
America today. He will not give US a
lecture, but high class entertainment
running over with pure fun and clean
humor. Mr.. Jansen says: Every
body, young, old, merchant, aborer,
man, women or child will have the
time of their lives. 1t will be living
movie from real life, portraying life as
one sees it every day" The o. H. S.
Girls Glee Club will sing, too. Just
think of 1t, all of these good things for
only rs and Is cents. You can not af-
ford to miss this treat.
Karl Jansen was here ten years ago
in behalf of the Oakland schools, He
was fine then, but he will be ten times
better next Friday night. Let every
body turn out and give him a royal re-
ception.
We have subscribed for Collier s

of the books deal with litera-

Lincoln. The books alone would have
cost as much as the subscription.

Wheat Being Shipped.

Probably for the first time in the
history of Garrett county wheat is be-
ing loaded and shipped in car lots from
Oakland. Yesterday there was a long
line of wagons came into Oakland, all
wheat-laden from the Pleasant Valley
section of the county, the grain having
been grown by various farmers resid-
ing in that vicinity, all of which had
been bought by Mr.. Henry M. Speicher.
The grain was shipped from here to
Baltimore and required two cars to
transport 1t.
Last week several car loads of buck
wheat was shipped from the local
freight station, the grainshaving been
purchased from the growere by an out
of-town miller.

THE VOTE.

1t was not a landslide. Neither the
three hundred and sixty-odd electoral
votes predicted for Wilson, nor the
same number predicted for Hughes,
materialized. The country will profit
BY the fact, in that the winner in shap-
ing his policies will be obliged to take
the fact into consideration. He has
not the country in sling. A sharp and
close division is disclosed, and it may be
accepted as extending all along the
line.
A very gratifying disclosure is that
the labor vote was not delivered. Those
who fancied themselves capable of that
performance, and tried it, failed. In
all the large states where labor is
strong and labor unions numerous
Hughes was the victor. This does not
show that labor voted solidly for him,
but it does show that that was not
rushed pell nell into the Wilson camp.
And labor is to be congratulated. 1t
should continue to obey Individual judg-
ment and consider policies in general,
and not yield to the manipulations of
leaders seeking to construct political
machine.
Another important point is that the
Republicans secured majorities in the
leading manufacturing states. This
shows an Endorsement of the policy of
protection, and will have its effect in
the revision of the tariff. We shall
probably not hear again from any re-
sponsible quarter that protection pro-
duces high cost of living, or that a
tariff for revenue only is an assurance
of low cost of living. The complete
failure of the Underwood law to fill the
market basket for song has knocked
certain tariff theories into the shape in
which Mr.. Wilson at the time wanted
to see Mr.. Bryan.
Many of the figures presented are in
dispute. Claims are being banded back
and forth. While the controversy lasts
excitement will naturally run high.
But not in the slightest degree to the
peril of business or the country. We
shall go right along with everyday af-
fairs in everyday fashion, and when
the decision is reached all will accept it.
We indulge in strenuous politics, and
while the battle is on there is a thunder
GUS rattle and bang. But when the
battle ends, victors and vanquished
come together in the bonds of good
citizenship, and alike recognize the
authority which has been conferred at
the polls. When the people speak
authoratively the people obey. 1t will
be so this time.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1916-11-09

This is an era of what common
men call SNAPS" A good many men
without character or capital are living
by their wits and upon the credulity of
others. Lacking all sense of veracity,
they scatter promises right and lett,
and when fulfillment is demanded they
slip out of the hole by some invention
of the mind more or less plausible. Of
course, some men bluntly insist upon
the carrying out of the bargain, but in
certain percentage of cases their
excuses are accepted and thus their
nefarious existence continued. Hence
we believe it is economy and wisdom
for everybody in general and farmers
in particular, to pass by every travelling
shark that proposes to make you rich
by one small Investment. or save you
from $40 to 500 in little scheme they
have on foot, and as an expression of
your good faith only ask your signature
to simple contract. Patronize home
industry. Deal with those whom YOU
know and thereby save yourself from
vexation of spirit and being soundly
swindled.

Notice to Subscribers.

Beginning November LIST, 1916, the subscription price
Of The Republican will be advanced from l25 per year
to $50 per year. This advance in price is made I'M
willingly by the publisher but at the same time it is
absolutely necessary by Of the fact that every
single item going into the making of newspaper nclud-
inc INKS paper and fixed charges has so advanced that
the present subscription price of $l25 per year is much
less than the cost Of production.
News print paper has advanced from s. 40 per hundred
pounds to 500 per hundred pounds, while inks have adj
vanced from cents per pound to Is cents per pound
within the past six months 1t was the hope of the
management that prices would become normal and this
advance in the price Of subscription would not be neces-
sary but instead indications that all material will
become higher.
Anyone desiring to pay their subscription in advance
prior to November lst may do the present for
period Off more than year All subscriptions that
paid in advance will be continued the full time
paid Tor All subscriptions in awear must be promptly
settled as we cannot longer carry delnquents
