profit by joining the Federation. The

and Standardization of contracts.
Just what the Federation would gain
in a material way was not made
plain. Its chief benefit. 1t was point
I'd out. would be the warm friendship
of 1900 persons active In forming
public opinion.
Authors would hold to themselves
any right to strike which they might
see fit to exercise and also the right
to bargain individually for their
pay.
Among those lined up with London
are Brander Matthews, William Dean

"afiiliators" are Mary Roberts Rine-

exact time Of taking the vote has
not been determined. When the first
report was made the time was rough
ly fixed as October.

The Democratic Platform.

The Democratic platform which
was adopted at st. Louis is the
greatest masterpiece of Amerl-
can principles ever promulgated
since those immortal democratic
principles Were enunclated in the
first inaugural address Ut Thomas
Jefferson, the creator and found
err OF the Democratic party. The
Democratic platform was written
by a imam who knew what he
was talking about; that man was
Woodrow Wilson, and he wrote
practically every line of it, ex-
cept those parts which set forth
personal praise Tor his great
achievements. Every voter in
The United States ought to read
that great document, as no such
masterpiece has ever been SO
forth by any political party in
these United States. One of tn
interesting plank S is that settin|

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Our District Attorney.

In things political as we'll as
things in business we should a.
ways strive for honesty and et'
ficiency, II we run our ousl'
ness successfully we must en-
ploy men who are honest and et'
ficient. The same rule holds
good in our governmental AFFAIRS
II the people are to get value re-
ceiyed for their money spent
they must see to it that the right
men fill their offices. There are
many good men who are failures
as office holders because they are
not efficient, therefore it stands
every voter in hand to investigate
every man who offers himself as a
candidate for Office and see, first,
if he is at heart the right kind of
man: second, if lie is fitted by
education, experience and per-
sonal ability to fill the office tor
which he aspires.
In the race for District Attor.
new we have three aspirants.
The present District Attorney
has held the office four years.
mas he made good? Is he honest?
Has b. he ability? H'.s he been
faithful to the trust the people
have placed in his hands? If ne
has made good, if he is honest,
il he has the ability and been
faithful to the trust which the
people gave him, the" it follows
that the people owe it, not only
because of thes" qualities, but to
themselves and their children to
keep him in office. Ills expert
enco places him i'll far better
position to serve the people
than either Of his opponents.
Then again do we at this tine
need change? Ask yourselves
the questions: VIII! either OF his
opponents make better officer:
Will either of them give the ppo'
ple better service? Then if neither
of them will make better Officer
you should cast your ballot fo7
the man you already have, be.
cause, all thugs else being equal
he is entitled to your support. HI
has held the office but one term
He has made good. H. has beer
tried and has never been fOun(
wanting. To take either of til
others you will be making AL ex
pertinent and taking chances
They may neither of them d
us we'll.
SO we urge the voters Of thl
district to give their hearty SUI
port to the man who has done hi
duty, rs ho saw it, regardless c
what others might think. 70
know, as we'll as we, that no p
litical pull, personal friendsh
nor anything else can be broug
to bear on him whereby be can
Ewayed from what he believes
BE- right.
We ask that you think OF the
things and give hin your We
and when you have elected h
for another term, then stand
him and help him to make eve'
better administration than t
nrnaant one has hann.
