Through the efforts of the chamber
of commerce of Mt. Vernon, John
Swisher, wealthy cigar manufacturer
of Newark. will locate branch fac
tory in this city which will employ
no less than so girls and possibly as
high as 300.
The factory will occupy the Kelser
property at the corner of West Vine
and West streets, which was former
ly used as the armory building of Bat
terry b of this city when that organ
ization was alive
Worlkmen in the employ OF Mr..
Swisher have spent the past week in
renovating and, in some places, remod-
elling the building so that 1t will be
in thoroughly sanitary condition for
the accommodation of cigar makers
and other factory employees.
The contract was signed Wednes-
day afternoon by Mr.. Swisher. where
by he agrees to employ no less than
fifty girls at any time. This is placed
as an outside minimum as Mr.. Swish
er expects to start off with more than
that number and increase as much as
possible.
The branch factory will start opera
tions, Mr.. Swisher states, on Monday
of next week when all the girls, who
applied some time ago for positions
as cigar-makers in the proposed fac
tory and whose names are now on
record at chamber of commerce head
quarters, will be given an opportunity
to work. It is not expected that the
entire 100 odd girls who expressed a

willingness to learn the trade will re-
main in the factory, although all will
be given an equal opportunity Of dis
playing their abilities.
The agreement with Mr.. Swisher
was arrived at last Saturday, but the
news was suppressed until the con-
tract had been definitely signed. 1t
will be recalled that some negotia-
tions were entered into with Mr..
Swisher a number Of weeks ago and,
on the basis of these, the chamber Of
commerce made a campaign which re-
suited in the obtaining of a number
of names of girls who would work in
cigar factory, if the same were OBJ
tanned.
At that time. Swisher stated that he
wanted a list of 100 available girls be-
fore opening the factory. Later, he
raised this demand to 200 and the COM
mittee of the chamber of commerce got
in touch with other cigar manufacture
ing concerns. Swisher recently de-
cided to start operations here with
the list of 100 girls and verbal agree
ment was entered into last Saturday.
The repairs which are now being
made on the Kelser building include,
among other things, new compost
ton ceiling which, with the side
walls, will be white-washed so as to
utilize all light entering from an en-
tirely new set of windows which are
being cut. An elevator is being in
stalled, while all sanitary plumbing,
as required by state law, will also be
done.

ed his enemies. We owe it to him and
to our party to get out every Demo
cratic vote.
Among other achievements, we
have placed on the statute books the
most equitable tariff law ever written,
having due regard both to producer
and consumer; an income tax placed
upon those who are earning and who
are able to pay, and to that extent re-
duced the tax upon consumption for
those who were not able to pay; estab-
lished the federal reserve system
which makes it possible impossible
for a few financiers to control the mon
ey and credits of the country and
thereby bring on panics at their will;
adopted a rural credit system which
means cheaper money and long time
loans to the farmer; established the
federal trade commission as a guide
to legitimate business and to prevent
the evils of unfair competition; have
placed within reasonable bounds gov
ernment by injunction and provided
for jury trial in indirect contempt cas-
es; have provided federal aid for the
building of public roads, and for CO
operative agricultural extension work;
improved the parcels post; extended
rural free delivery; and by these
means have bettered the conditions OF
, rural life.
above everything else, the people
Of our country can congratulate them
selves that while practically the en-
tire civilized world is at war, under
the splendid leadership of Woodrow
Wilson our country is at peace, and as
Americans and Democrats, we owe II

world crisis, Woodrow Wilson's lead
