Hon. Sam G, Major was in
Benton, Hickory and Polk coun-
ties last week, in the interest of
his candidacy for the Democratic
nomination for Congress from
the Seventh Congressional Dis
trict. Since coming out early in
the year Mr.. Major has steadily
increased in public favor, and
has now gained a degree of pres
'tige among the Democratic
voters of the Seventh District
that assures his nomination in
the August primaries. At this
critical period in national af-
fairs such a strong, capable man
as Sam G. Major is needed in
Congress, and his record for
constructive craftsmanship in our
State Senate affords ample
proof that if elected he will make
one of the most useful and infu.
entail members of Congress at
time when strong men are need
ed. With the nomination of Mr.
Major the Democracy of the Sew

Candidate Hughes is said to
be writing a tremendous criti-
cism of the Wilson administra-
ton. The Republican papers
say that he is devoting a great
cal Of time to it. Judge Hughes
like other critics before him, will
find it comparatively easy to find
fault. Anybody can do that.
But will the Judge be good
enough to tell US Just exactly
what he would have done if he
had been in Wilson's place? No.
The Judge will not tell us that.
