A CHANGE IN CONDITIONS

We have met the enemy and they
are ours. The last opmpaign hes dis
closed state of facts, never before
worked out in political history. 1t
shows that united people, west Of
the Mississippi, in connection with
a solid south. can hereafter control

the wealthy east and Central west.
The Western plain and moan nin
states, are fast increasing in popu,a-
ton, and the next U. S. census in
1920 will show large increase in
their electoral vote, while that ok
the east and south will remain com-
paratively the same.
Heretofore the far west, and south
have been dominated by the populous
east, who have in many cases iegis-

The Reno Gazette practically charges that every act OF Governor

as his support will be needed by Candidate Hughes in the event OF his

But the Appeal C,es rot agree with the Gazette in its opirirn OF
Governor Johnson. AS the latter states, the Republican party has LETT
him, and not lie the Republican party. But the Gazetes management
canno SCI it in that light. They are still visoning the Republican party

The great divide! He caught sight OF its severed heights and lonely
peaks in California. Estranging and insuperable, it parts the Republicans
from the Progressives in state after state. In New York, ii the Progress
sves are not mistaken, the friends of frmness are eve trying o fill
up the great divide with nominating petitions thick with forgery.
The gerat divide! Yawning. monstrous, impossible, it separates the
Republican candidate from the man who, o many Republicans acridly
confess, should have been nominated in his stead. Between brother
Pussyfoot and that tiger who feeds o II hyphens, how great is o Mr.

Garland Literary Society has sent its challenge for the annual contest between Garland and Ze- nth for the Bemis Loving Cup, and Zenith has accepted the challenge. The High School from now until after the contest will be divided into hostile camps, no neutrals allowed,
 Four members from each So- ciety, two boys and two girls, represent their societies in this Reclamation contest and the los ing society usually entertains the winners. The Zeniths now hold the cup having been entertained last year by the Garlands. Each society this year fully expects to bear off the cup, and the contest promises to bring forth a great deal of school spirit.
 Among the contestants who will probably enter the prelimi- naries held by these societies are, For Zenith, Jim Bush, Nelson Garner, Orin Ellsworth, Roscoe Cress, Watson Husky, Irene Den- man. Gertrude Davis, Lillian Haltom and Gladys Jones. Bill lie Bob Thrasher, Bracy Haynie, Robert Harrell, John Hesterly, Jeanette Burns and Helen An drews will enter for Garland. Other members who have not yet announced themselves will most likely come out later to uphold the reputation of their societies.
 The date of the contest has not yet been decided upon. That will be partly determined by the dates set for the contests to be held in Camden and Little Rock. since from the Zenith Garland match representatives will be chosen for these larger contests.

Grayson for the greater part of this time has never missed pay day and dur ing the present stringent busi- ness conditions, which have now maintained for more than a year, have not reduced a wage or lost a day, and from our view point, have always had at heart the interests of their men.
 We mention these facts only for the reason that we want the laboring men throughout this district to know from first hand and direct-from laboring man to laboring man, as it were-just what relationship MT. Grayson bears to the men in the commun- ity in which he has lived so many years, and this from men with whom he has come in direct contact for the number of years indicated opposite their names. Personally MT. Grayson is a man of keen insight into affairs and is never staggered by any of the business problems that confront this institution. He never re- quires of his men anything he would not himself do and in all things he considers the best in- terests of his employees. We firmly believe, should he be elect ed, that he will give the affairs of his district the same thought full consideration.
 This is done without the know ledge or solicitation of MT. Gray son.

ED BARHAM
Candidate for Treasurer of Ne.
 vada County

We are asking that the vot- CTS of Nevada county, when they go to the polls on the 29th inst, give especial attention to the candidacy of Ed Barham, who is seeking the nomination for treasurer of Nevada county.
 Mir. Barham is an ambitious young man, who holds the res pect and esteem of all who know him. He comes from one of the first families of the county-a family known for their honesty and integrity-and is in every way qualified to fill the position to which he aspires. He is pune tual and prompt in his habits, and if elected can always be found at his office.
 He comes from the walks of life that believe in the golden rule and will ever be found fol- lowing it's precepts. Modest, honest, painstaking and punc- tual, he will make Nevada coun- ty an ideal treasurer.
 The family have been in the county unto the third and fourth generation. They are consls- tent and continual tax payers. Are not office seekers, and are the kind of people that make up a substantial citizenship.
 Give his claims your earnest consideration when you go to vote.

 He has been city health off cer, president of the Board of Health. and President of the Nevada County Medical Society, and has acquitted himself with much credit in all these posi- tionS.
 He is a man held in the high est esteem by those who know him, and the county will have a faithful and conscientious off, cer if he is elected coroner.
 He will appreciate your vote.

 We have been with the Gray son interests from ten to twen- ty-fve years each, and it is with great deal of pride and pleas ure that we attest that all these years the institution above men toned which has been under the
