Why We Are For Judge
Sampson.

This question has been asked
us many times by those who do
not know Judge Sampson as we
do. He is one of our own boys.
AS a man he has few equals; as
a lawyer and as d Judge he has
no SuperiorS. He is a man whom
you can approach at any and all
times and receive a courteous
answer to any and all questions.
He is pleasant in all that he says
and does. And above all things
he is a friend to the poor man.
He has made q success as a bust
ness man and yet no beggar has
gone from his door unfed. The
church, the schools in fact, all
that have ever asked at his hands
have met cheerful response.
There is not an old soldier in this
district, who fought to keep the
flag of our country in the air, and
to make this q Union and not a
confederacy. that does not know
and love Judge Sampson. He is
a friend to the poor. and has
saved many a poor mans home
for him; and when one does this
for a man, his kindness is never
forgotten. 1t is said when John
Howard Payne wrote Home
Sweet Home. that he himself
was a homeless Wanderer in the
streets. 1t took a man who had
no home to make the spirit of
home immortal; and Judge Samp-
son by his unbiased rulings, as a
Judge, has saved for many a
poor man his home. There has
never been a time in Judge
Simpsons administration when
poor man had brought a suit
against a Corporation that he
did not have a fair trial. The
rich have no advantage. Besides
this. Judge Sampson is a young
man with more than the ordinary
ambition and energy; a man who
has made his mark in the world
and one who wants to 90 higher,
and who realizes that the only
way to do this, is to to deal out
justice to all mankind with i'm
partiality and fairness. We be-
lieve he will win in this race for
the nomination for Appellate
Judge, because those who do not
now know him, will know him
before August 9Th, 1916, and
when they know him they will
support him. Besides this, we
are for Judge Sampson, because
he is ever ready to do something |
for the man who can not help
himself. He is a wide awake,
energetic, learned lawyer and
Judge. He is a man who knows
his friends when he meets them
upon the streets OF highways,
and one that never forgets a
friend.
When Judge Sampson is nomi-
mated by his party for the high
and exalted position which he
seeks, the battle then has just
begun, for in the General Elec-
ton Judge Sampson will carry
the District by an overwhelming
majority over any Democrat that
maybe nominated, and we will
have the assurance that the Sew
enth Appellate District will have
a Republican Judge.

A similar instrument, the optophone

was not successful because the SIM

nearly as sensitive as the crystals.

Be Wolf Hopper Tonight.

OS VOt T1OPRSt sS''S"ss
An attraction extraordinary is the
Grand's offering of Don Quixote,
featuring De Wolf Hopper and Fay
Tincher, scheduled on the Triangle
program for today and tomorrow.
Night showings will be held at 7:lo
and 800 O'Clock, and there will be
the regular daily matinees at 2:30.
AS a comedian of nationwide pop
ularity, De Wolf Hopper needs no
introduction. He has been unsur-
passed for years as an entertainer
beloved by the people of all large
amusement centers. Miss Fay finch
er is almost as equally famous. !.
Cervante's novel of Don Quixote"
has been read by all classes Of peo-
pie, in almost all languages OF the
earth. and makes an admirable We
hicle for the noted comedian. And
the master hand of D. W. Griffith Is
behind the production Of the picture.
Surely with such an array OF tai
ent in actors, author and director,
rare treat is in store for Keokuk
playgoers.
Don Quixote must. OF course, dom
mate the play as he does the book
and 1t was not difficult to transfer
the tender, crack-brained old dreamer
bodily into the picture, especially
with De Wolf Hopper to make aim
live again in the flesh.
But the Don's adventures are OF
two sorts. Mishaps befell him Of the
most laughable sort, and yet there Is
a touching pathos to the man that Is
one OF the secrets of his Immortality.
He is so ponderously in earnest that
we are sorry for him. even while we
are laughing at his ridiculous plights.

The Phoenix has yet to see any
thing in the advertisements Of Senator
Page, or the editorial columns of the
newspapers that are supporting him,
that disprove the statements made by
State Bank Commissioner Williams.
And in the absence of any conclusive
denial we are of the opinion that the
Williams document will eventually
prove to have been the undoing of
Senator Page as a candidate for re-
election. How can the public be ex-
pected to have confidence in man
who is charged with persisting for
years in trying to do something that a
state official told him was against the
law -Brattleboro Phoenix
It does seem strange that none of
the Page supporters have even been
able to suggest reasonable line of
defense. 1t seems to be case of
the accused pleading guilty and throw
ing himself on the mercy Of the jury.
