TIDE FLOWS
TO SIDE OF
WILSON N
Postmaster Barefoot Tells OfSeyeral Cases
Of Switching Of Lifelong
Republicans

Expressing satisfaction with his po-
litical observations while on his recent
trip to his old home in Arkansas, Post
master G. w. Barefoot returned yes
terday morning from weeks visit
more confident than ever in the com
ing success of the Democratic ticket.
A most unusual evoluation presented
itself in the political views Of the rela-
tiyes whom he visited which convinced
him that many other Republicans will
cast aside their party chief and vote
for President Wilson in November.
Mr. Barefoot left Washington coun-
ty, Ark, In 1859. He had seven uncies
who raised families in that county.
During the civil war Confederate bush
whackers shot and killed one Of the
uncles and the entire family shifted to
the federal cause, all of the men fight
ing in the federal army. Since that
time without single exception they
have voted the Republican ticket,
though having been reared and rails
ing families in Democratic state. For
the first time since the war this con-
dition has changed. A cousin, now 63
years old ana a son of the man who
was killed by the bushwilackers, told
the Chickasha postmaster that every
man iir the Barefoot family this year
without exception would vote for
Woodrow Wilson. Later, while on a
trip through the county, this cousin
pointed to the immense apple orchards
and crops which lined the roads and
explained Iis county subsists on its
Z .,4e and strawberry crops. without
the apple crop we would be ruined
President Wilson settled the strike for
the American people. Do you know
what that strike would have meant to
us? All the trees which you have
seen have borne heavily. What would
have happened in case of strike?
The entire crop would have rotted in
the lanes and every merchant and far
mer in this part of the country would
have gone bankrupt. That crop
stands above everything else for the
Of this community"
Another convert to the Democratic
ticket was found in a lifelong Repub-
lican who for seven years had been
postmaster under Republican rule.
When Hughes was declared to be the
nominee Of the Republican party this
man was enthusiastically in favor of
him as he has been in the case of all
other Republican nominees, and had
to vote for the former chief
justice. But Hughes had not measur-
ed up to the standard which had been
set for him by his followers. In other
words, in the opinion OF this and 9th
er Republicans of Arkansas Hughes
has been a failure as campaigner and
these Republicans will vote for VIII
son.
