heavily. This excites Farmer Hank

GRAvITATING TO WILSON.

AS the Maine anu the new 1Orh
elections recede into the distance and
there is given more opportunity for
a study of results, more comfort
is coming to the Democrats. AS a
matter of fact, both elections proved
favorable to Democratic success in
November. In these elections The
Baltimore Sun sees some things
that cannot be explained away" 1t
is safe proposition that the atti-
tude of the independent voter, Pro-
gressive and Republican, will largely
determine the result. The Sun feels
justified in regarding as of consid-
lating evidence from every quarter
of favorable inclination toward
President Wilson of this type of
voter. Such evidence was furnished
by the Progressive vote in Maine;
and it was furnished even more
strongly in the New York primaries
in the contest between Governor
Whitman and Judge Seabury for
Progressive Endorsement. The testi-
mony Of percentage cannot be ruled
out of court, and when New York
backs up the evidence OF Maine only
those who do not wish to see will
persist in declaring it to be of no
consequence" The Sun makes note
of The Philadelphia Records list Of
the many influential Seople who are
coming out for Wilson, and which
has been used in the columns of The
Observer, and it adds few of it's
own to show the general trend of
public opinion. One interesting bit
of evidence it gives is found in a
letter from Benjamin F.. Holmes OF
Spring Grove, Va, second cousin
of Abraham Lincoln. Mr.. Holmes
has been Republican since casting
his first vote for the Civil War Presi-
dent. He is not yet certain for
whom he will vote, but admits that
he is mot wholly satisfied" with Mr..
Hughes and his party, and if he
can see daylight" will not be
to Mr.. Wilson's reelection" The
Sun suggests that "if Lincoln Re-
publicans are gravitating toward
Wilson, what will the harvest be?"
There is still another notable acaui-
sition to the Wilson following in the
person of Victor Murdock, who Is
described as 1.-The most uncompro-
missing and unreconstructed Progress
sive between the Atlantic and the Pa

LOCAL MAN GETS PATENT.
-
j. T. Livingston fnvents Auto Fem
- der t. Save Lives.

John T. Livingston, well known
farmer of Lincoln county, las just
received notification that he has been
granted a patent upon an automobile
fender, which, it is believed, will be
the means of saving many lives. The
technical description of the new de-
vice which Mr.. Livingston has had
patented, is as follows:
'The device consists of cushion
ed fender directly in front of the
wheels, supported by guard rail or
bumper bar and is so arranged that
when person is struck, the guard
rail or bumper bar yields rearwardly
to a certain extent and the fender
is automatically dropped absolutely
preventing the person from being
run over. The cushioned part less
ening the shock and prevents seri.
Gus injury. 1t is attached to the
axle and can be used on any auto
mobile or truck, without interfering
with any other part of the machine
Experiments are being conducted
with various devices in some of the
larger cities with view of reducing
the number of accidents. This inven
ton will be the means of saving
many lives when it is put into use.'
