in other sections, yet when his
own section might profit, Mr.. Gar
rett is found not voting.
OF course we do not advocate
an attack upon the federal treas
ury, but with the vast areas OF the
country drawing multiplied mil
lions upon scarcely any excuse,
we do not see why Tennessee and
the South should not profit IN
proportion. The nations wealth
and sustenance lies for the most
part with the agricultural regions
Federal aid to good roads is the
best and quickest way to upbulld
these regions.
Vote for Senter, who stands
for these measures that mean most
to the people Of this section. Do
not be misled by Mr.. CARROTS
over estimate Of himself. Presl'
dent Wilson is amply able to run
the affairs of these United States
without Mr.. CARROTS assistance.
The Ninth congressional district
can we'll afford to deny itself his
services, since these services have
led to no profit to his constituency
Vote for Senter and follow the
precedent Mr.. Garrett himself es-
tablished six terms ago.
Vote for Senter and pass the
fayors around.
Vote for Senter as the best
nan for the place. - Trenton

character OF a man, a gentleman
and a citizen, he is the equal Of
any man in the district.
Second, in capacity, ability,
acquirments and qualifications to
make a splendid representative
in congress, he is the peer Of any
man in the district;
Third, for years be has been
a close student Of political econ
omy, and the political situation
Of our country; he is fully inform
ed on the situation of cur country
in its internal and foreign rela-
tions; he is abreast with the
thought Of the present age, and
could at once take his place in
congress, ready and equipped to
render the needed and intelligent
services that the republic and
this congressional district require;
Fourth, from the time he be-
gan his business life, he has been
closely identified with all the
movements that had for their
the betterment Of the
moral, the political and material
conditions Of this section and has
given his time and best energies
in their advancement, and he will
carry this spirit into the halls of
congress;
Fifth; he is in close touch with
the great masses of the people,
and knows their needs, and they
need that kind Of a man to repre-
sent them. He will come fresh
from the very midst OF the people,
and with ability, energy and de-
termination he will press all
that look to the COM
mon good Of the great mass-free
from any control of influence that
seeks special favors;
Sixth, he is in hearty accord
with tns measures and policies Of
the national administration and
will give his ardent support to
President Wilson in disposing of
the great and serious problems
that confront his administration;
Seventh, his advocacy Of fed
eral aid to public roads and edu.
cational institutions, which are
by his opponent, should
call to his standard the masses
Of the people, to whom these
would bring the most
direct benefit;
Eighth, we are not of those
who think that it takes life tenure
n office to make efficient con-
yressmen. II the trainers of the
constitution had so believed, they
would have made the term for life,
n a long period of years, instead
II making it two years. The ex-
oerience of more than a hundred
vears has proven the wisdom of the
ramers OF our constitution. We
10 not believe that the young
nen OF this district should be
confronted with the theory that
here is only one man in the dis
riot that is fitted and qualified to
represent the district in congress;
therefore, we call upon the demo.
,rats OF the district to join US in
saving to the young men Of the
district: The road that leads to
from this district is an
open highway and the doors Of
are not closed to all, save
me favored man.
Ninth, our motto is: En-
the young men of the dis
;rict, and select a capable man
resi- from the walks Of the
Of the people to be our
representative in congress. This
IS the need Of the hour. Hum

Senter for Congress.

The democrats Of Gibson and
her sister counties should consider
well the claims Of the rival candi-
dates for the congressional nomi-
nation. Mr.. Garrett asks an en-
endorsement OF his twelve years
continuous service; Mr.. Senter
asks that the courtesy be passed
around and, in urging his claims
presents a number of reasons why
he desires distinction, the chletest
among them being his position on
the question Of good roads. Twelve
years ago Mr.. Garrett used quite
effectively the argument that 9
long tenure Of office was un- Amer
lean, vet he comes before the peo'
pie asking a seventh consldera-
ton, and insists that the great
crisis through which our country
is passing be considered a reason
that he should be returned to
Washington to uphold the hands
Of our matchless and mastertul
president. Yet this appeal was
hardly in print before the secreta-
ry of state, Mr.. Lansing, an
nounced his intention to leave for
a months vacation. Now to those
who know the facts, it appears
that Mr.. Garrett is making great
capital OF something that really
does not exist. Surely the crisis
is not so great, nor the president
in such need OF advice, else why
should the secretary Of state, who
has the responsibility Of all diplo'
matte relations, leave for months
vacation?
IT'S only a gmiserably poor ex-
cuse and no reason. Mr.. Garrett
may have a personal relation with
the president and he may not.
Mr.. CARROTS active press agent
would lead the people to believe
Mr.. Garrett OF vast Importance to
the administration, but when one
notices the nature Of these advices
one realizes the buncombe that is
being played. All the Garrett
stuff comes under the signature Of
a certain reporter in Washington.
Scarcely does one see our con.
CHEESEMAN'S name mentioned in
the associated press dispatches.
Mr.. Senter meets Mr.. Garrett
squarely on a Garrett issue. Two
years ago the latter spoke in no
unmistakable terms against feder-
al aid to good roads, He claims
it to be unconstitutional and when
the Shackleford bill-a bill by
which the South would profit
greatly-was considered Mr.. Gar
rett was opposed to its provisions.
He first voted against the bill, and
later changed this vote to present
but not voting.
Now, this Shackleford bill pro-
yided an annual appropriation OF
many millions Of dollars to be
spent on roads, apportioned to the
several states, one-half in proper
ton to population and one-halt IN
proportion to the number of miles
Of rural routes in each state. This,
one may readily see, meant a con-
siderable amount to Tennessee,
vet Mr.. Garrett failed to support
the measure. The people of the
Ninth district should support SEN
ter for the one reason limo other
his advocacy Of government aid to
good roads. Being Of an agricul-
tural district, they can never hope
for benefits otherwise. Millions Of
federal money are lavishly spent

MURDER OF WIFE

makers at a beefsteak dinner of the
Ourselves dinner last night was ar
rested and thereafter was revealed
a wife murder tale seldom equaled in
police annals.
Harry A. Schroeffel, manager for
the undertaking establishment Of
Phillip Voelker, is charged with hav-
ing murdered his wife early on the
morning of December 10Th by strang-
ling her during a quarrel and leaving
| her lying dead on the floor all night

the body into the undertaking estab-
lishment without the knowledge of
his mother and brother, called in an

forged a death certificate and later
buried the body in Woodlawn ceme-
terry and apparently thought no more
of the matter.
In the confession Schroeffel is al
legged to have made in the detective
bureau, the man, who is 33, said there
was a little celebration on the night
Of the 28th and some drinking. To-
ward the close he and his wife got
into a quarrel which continued after
they reached their room. He tried to
quiet her, he says, but she became
abusive and 'caIled him Names"

Resumption Of Submarine War
fare by Germany Indicated
In Cables.

Indications that Germany has resumed
submarine warfare against enemy mer-
chantmen were brought sharply to the
attention Of the State Department to-
day.
To what extent she has determined to
employ the tactics OF attack without
warning, which, at the peremptory de-
mand OF the United States she had
agreed to abandon, has not yet been
demonstrated conclusively. In the opinion
OF State Department officials.
That American lives have nevertheless
been placed In serious jeopardy was
plainly indicated In evidence which piled
up at the State Department today.
Consul General Skinner. cabling from
London. advised the department as fol-
lows:
British stseamer strathtay, PREVIOUSLY
reported sunk, was torpedoed In the
British channel by German submarine
on September 6. Two American seamen
on board, William wooton. 1ot North
Third street. Harrison, N. j., and Ber-
nard Sweeney, 81 East Twenty-third
street, Bayonne, N. j., have reported"
Whether the vessel was torpedoed
without warning was not Indicated. II
II assumed at the State Department
tnat Mr. Skinner Is getting affldavits
from the two Americana. who appear
TO have been rescued. and will forward
them as soon as possible.

that anidavits have been received from

British steamer Kelvania. which was
sunk on Glasgow, Scotland, two weeks
ago. Although Secretary Lansing would
not disclose the nature Of these aIli-
davits. there was no evidence at the
department that they failed to bear
