DAVID j. LEWIS

Despite the fact that the amount Of revenue
formerly derived from the liquor franchise tax
amounted to nearly $4,000 annually, and the
inconvenience that will be experienced in rals-
ing this sum for defraying portion q county
expenses hitherto taken care Of in this manner,
the results Of the first days Of local option are
most gratifying to those who hold the better in-
terest Of the county at heart The large ma
ionty by which the measure was adopted at the
special election and the good anticipated as the
result Of the abolition Of the liquor traffic, are
warrant sufficient to enlist all patriotic citizens
in aiding TO the end that the law be strictly Oh,
served AT any rate those who are interested
in the county, regardless Of their individual
opinions, want it to have fair trial. Il i
proves a measure that will enhance our county
and afford the hoped for relief, all will desire
its continuance; if not, the voters will see to i
that it is repealed.

Now that the Democratic party has made It's
selection Of those to whom it entrusts its stand
ard for the coming election, ii should be realized
that the all important thing to do is to get in
line and work diligently from now until the polls
close in next November for the success Of the
ticket. It's in this way that the best interests
Of the country and State can be served. Our
candidates are men Of more than ordinary abili-
ty and if elected will reflect credit to their party
and to themselves. Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Rails
ion are men Of too well known integrity and
ability to need any comment at this time, and
both have served the State and country ably
and WE'LL
In all human probability the man, who Of
all others has 50 successfully guided the Ship of
State through the turbulant waters Of nterna-
tonal discord and kept US safe thus far is surely
the one to whom should be entrusted our fur-
thef progress along peaceful and prosperous
highway Of world affairs. Under his guidance
tie United States has everywhere been hailed
lac bulwark Of civilization and the conserya-l
II international law to every people, and
H enormous prosperity that this countr, has

All the world IS warning and hence our oppor-
