CAPTAIN BENNETT
ON RETIRED LIST
FORMER ARMY OFFICER MAY
RETURN TO OHIO COUNTY
TO RESIDE.

Authentic reports have been re-
ceived in Hartford that Capt. w. r.
Bennett, of the U. S. Army, has been
retired from active service. He is
now in San Francisco where he is
being treated for ailments due to a
stroke of apoplexy while stationed
in the Philippine Islands May IL,

that he. will return to Ohio county
to make his home. 81
Capt. BENEFITS retirement ends
many years of active army life in
which promotions have been steady
He enlisted as a private in 1886 and
served as corporal, sergeant, first

to first lieutenant in 1901 and was
commissioned as captain in 1911.
He graduated from the School OF the

class, in 1913. He was sent to the
Philippines and was there first
stricken with apoplexy, being un-
conscious from May IL till June l.
He was placed in the Letterman
General Hospital at San Francisco
but received recurrent attacks of
epilepsy at monthly intervals until
last November. He is improved but
has been declared unfit for active
service. Physicians have hopes for
entire recovery but state that 1t will
take several years. The attack came
to Capt. Bennett while in line of

Captains misfortune, will welcome
the news of his probable return to
Ohio county. His old home is near

Besides railroad legislation, there is
strong public demand for some legis-

time and must be passed, there are
other issues to be dealt with. The

AN immediate practical step to-
ward Progressive representation
would be to give the present cam
paign committee in the party organ
ization the functions of the Execu-
tive Committee of the party. This
committee consists of ten regular Re-
publicans and six former Progress
sives. This would give the Progress
sives votes as well as voices in the
party council A demand from the
proposed conference for such repre-
sentation in the Republican organiza-
lion could not be ignored by any who
are seriously DESTROYS of party sue
cess and nothing less than this could
be accepted as first step toward Sc
curing the confidence of the Progress
awe voters of the country.

can get the Progressive votes and
that Progressive votes. thru the Re-

ne some guarantee that Progressive
support before election will insure
Progressive influence in the deter
