Judge Lamm says that the State
needs business man for Governor.
The people agree with him on that pro-
position, and they are going to show
their faith by their votes and elect
Frederick D. Gardner, who is not only
a business man, but broadminded,

WOLLAM SHOULD BE
REELECTED.

Tuesday, August Sth, is Primary
election day and it is the duty Of
every voter to go to the polls and
express their choice of candidates
for nomination.
In exercising this duty we would
nave you not forget that Rising
sun has candidate for reelection
o the County Commissioners Of
ice in the person OF j. IL. Wollam.
You all know Harold and know
the kind of an official he has made.
We do not hesitate to recommend
Mr.. Wollam to this position as ne
has made good to a full measure
the two years he has been in this
office. Experience counts for
much to a man serving as county
commissioner and with the respon-
Sibility thrust upon these officials
it is wise to place man into Of
fee with some knowledge of the
past business and who knows how
to handle the new business. One
mistake of a green man might cost
the county thousands of dollars.
Mr.. Wollam is a Republican and
has always been a worker for the
party and all its upright princi
pies. He is as square man as you
can find and believes in using
everyone right. Before his election
the first time we said he would run
the affairs of the county as tho it
were his own private business and
we feel sure he has. He has been
a conservative official, yet took
excellent care of the county's
needs so far as funds were avail
able. We challenge anyone to find
fault with his work after they
know the true conditions. Mr..
Wollam has given the county two
years of faithful service and Of
fers them two more years OF the
same kind and undoubtedly better
as experience proves.
You Republicans vote for him
and feel sure you have done your
best.-Risingsun Unique Weekly.

A large mining company has In
stalled an electric restaurant 15O
yards in from the foot of the shaft
in one of its mines Here food is
cooked or heated electrically, and hot
coffee is prepared by the same means.
Since most of the important coal
mines already use electric power un-

Says Richard Is Out in the
Cold, but Is Ready to
Talk on Big
Bout.
BY IGOE.

Tex Richard and Sam McCrscken are
not whipped "a Yet, despite the fact
that Jack Curley apparently handed
them the D. {. when he signed Willard
to fight for himself instead of Rickard
and McCrscken.
The pair raised their original offers
Of $4,000 for a Moran Willard fight
yesterday 10 g total Of $40 800. Instead
Of $4,000 they now offer the world 3
champion $4,000 and Moran $4,000,
instead Of $4,000.
Evidently CUrley intends to DO some
ground and lofty tumbling with Will
lard's signature before be gets through
pith the threatened bout. On his ar
rival here yesterday from Kansas City
he said:
"Tm not Wild about conducting the
fight myself. As matters stand | hold
the trump card, but If Richard can
show me whore he can hold the fight
