Only a week has elapsed since the
first announcement of The County
Records plans to give away over a
thousand dollars in valuable prizes
to the energetic ladies of Williams
burg and adjoining counties, and al
ready wonderful interest has been
manifested in the campaign. Noml-
nations continue to come from all
quarters, and there is evidence that
the greatest interest is being felt
wherever The County Record clrcu-
lates.
Candidates and prospective candl-
dates have brought out several points
that need special explanation and
answers. The most important ques-
ton asked was: What do we have to
do to win?
First: You must familiarize your
self with the conditions Of the con-
test. Second: See how simple the
rules are; sign the nomination blank
and send it to the Contest Manager.
This will bring you information that
will explain to you in full the details
of the contest and start you on the
road to success. Some few did not
understand about the weekly ballot
counting fifty votes each. A candl-
date is entitled to as many votes as
she can get, but they must be voted
on or before the date printed thereon.
It is not necessary to be subscri-
ber to The County Record to be eli
gible to enter the contest. Any mar
ried or single lady of good repute
living in the territory reached by
The County Record can enter the
contest by filling in the nomination
blank or having someone do it for
her.
SUBSCRIPTION BOOKS NOW READY.
These books are for use in secur-
ing subscriptions and can be had by
making application to the Contest
Department. The County Record
desires to say to the candidates who
have already entered and to those
who contemplate entering that the
Contest Department has been espec-
tally organized for them and is pre-
pared at all times to give any assist
ance consistent with the rules of the
contest to all who apply. 1t is we'll
to remember that an early start
gives an advantage in a contest OF
this kind. 1t is always true that op-
portunity knocks and then waits only
a little time for the door to open. III
this case the opportunity may be in
the form of a beautiful automobile
or a substantial sum of money. Get
busy now and be a winner.

DEMOCRATS IN
CONCLAVE,
PRESIDENT WILSON AND S0LIC.
ITOR STOLL INDORSED--HAR-
MONIOUS CONVENTIONS.

The Williamsburg county Demo-
cratic convention met here at noon
Monday. In fact. in every county
in the State the Democrats held a
convention on Monday, principally
for the purpose of electing delegates
to the State Democratic convention.
which will be held in Columbia on
Wednesday, May II. From reports
of the conventions given by The
News and Courier it appears that
spirit of harmony characterized
practically every meeting and in
very few were there contests of any
consequence. The outstanding fea-
ture was the endorsement of the ad-
ministration of President Woodrow
Wilson in every county, some o.
which instructed their delegates to
support in the State convention reso-
lutions for a delegation to the Ma
tional convention instructed to vote
for the denomination Of President
Wilson.
In many of the conventions the
"county-to-county" campaign sys-
tenn was not mentioned, but where
it was discussed. in the majority Of
cases the decision was in favor of
retaining what has become known
as the biennial circus" The Flor
ence convention passed resolution
asking the State convention to per-
nit the people of the State to vote
in the primary this summer on the
question of abolishing or keeping
the present system. In many coun-
ties the delegates seemed Indifferent
on this matter.
The Williamsburg county Demo-
cratic convention was called to or
der by Chairman P H Stoll at 1910
o'clock in the court house.
Messrs P H Stoll and A G Kinds
were unanimously elected temporary
chairman and temporary secretary.
respectively.
The roll call of delegates showed
that SO delegates and alternates
were present. At the conclusion Of
the roll call the temporary organ
ization was made permanent by a
unanimous vote of the convention,
whereupon the chairman proceeded
to call the roll of the county execu-
tive committeeman chosen by the va
rious clubs of the county as follows:

A SUFFICIENT STATEMENT.
EYening Wisconsin,.

ENthihs " lHAbhoAAs
The New York World type of Demo
cratic organs, emitting their brays to
the effect that Charles Evans Hughes
is "the potsdam candidate, would not
be satisfied were the Republican can
didate to turn ogre and eat an Amer
lean of German extraction every day.
But the American people are satisfied.
They judge Hughes by his record and
also by his declaration of principles.
Here is his announcement, in language
so plain that every intelligent voter
can understand it:
81 stand for the firm and unfinching
maintenance of the rights of American
citizens on land and sea- 81 desire to
see our diplomacy restored to its best
standards. - Il stand for an American
ism that knows no Interior purpose. for
a patriotism that is single and complete.
Whether native or naturalized, of what
ever race or creed, we have but one
country and we do not for an instant
tolerate any division of allegiance. . II
believe in making prompt provision to
secure absolutely our national security. F"
"Our preparedness must be industrial
and economical "a well as military
Our severest tests will come after the
war is over.
1t is an announcement disturbing to
the peace of mind of his political
antagonists. Every word of it is
patriotic and inspiring. 1t goes far
enough and refrains from going too far.
That is Hughes characteristic. 1t is
one Of the characteristics which has

r. r. STRIKE LOOMING UP.

Railroad heads are facing demands
from the conductors, engineers, fire
man and breakmen for raise in wages
which would amount to 500, 900, 900 an
nually. What seems very unreasonable,
is the preferment feature. All other
laborers are not considered or to be
benefited thereby should the demand
be granted. Only those who are already
the best paid Of railroad employees
would get the 100 600, 900 as we under
stand it; md upon whom would the
burden fall If not the people, and if the
railroad companies, as claimed, are row
only getting fair, legitimate profit on
capital invested
1t looks to be another case of killing
the goose that laid the golden egg.
The proposition of railroad officials
to submit the problem to an impartial
federal tribunal smacks of reason, and
the demanders' refusal to do this
appears very unreasonable.

CARRANZA VILLA.
JanesyilIe Gazette.

Really one must sit down and study
that man Carranza to fully understand
what he is attempting to do in this
crisis. Aided by the recognition of
President Wilson, in the face Of the
strongest kind of opposition, as the
de facto" head Of the government of
Mexico, armed with rifles that were
shipped across the border with the
permission of the Democratic President,
given an unlimited number of rounds
of ammunition that were shipped
into various Mexican ports with the
full knowledge of the federal gov
eminent, he now turns on his bene-
factor, "Uncle SAM" defies him and
is ready to wage unrelentless war upon
the hated "Gringo." And Villa, the
bandit, favored with ammunition by
the same incogitant power as was Car
rama, has proved himself to be the
same kind of an migrate. II is the
Latins way of doing business, Of
showing appreciation of the past fa-
vors. 1t is the results Of the too
patient "watchfCi waiting" policy at
Washington. Too much of the dove
of peace" of the Bryan regime as sec
rotary of state. Too much of the idea
that, if Europe could bluff the United
States, then Mexico could also. In
plain words, Carranza has hidden be-
hind his whiskers lots of brains and
he is now using them to his own pres
ent personal advantages. He believes
he has Wilson bluffed, that Wilson
represents the American people, and
consequently they are bluifed. He
figures out as the amateur scientists,
"The moon is round, "A cheese is
round. " Consequently, the moon is a
cheese. All he wants to do is to take
one good bite of this American cheese
and he will find that it will mix well
with his peppers and chilli concarne or
any other dish he ever ate. He will find
Wilson is not the American people
and his bluff will be called "Pronto. "

your money or makes exchange when
you are not satisfied with what you
have bought

his guaranty, and makes restoration of
all losses that you may sustain on the
goods you buy.
He is the chap who meets and
greets you on the street every day in
the year, and takes neighborly inter
est in your family and your affairs.
He is the chap whose clerks and
bookkeepers and other employees live
in your city and spend their money
with you and other city people.
He is the chap who pays heavy taxes
to help support your city schools, and
build your streets. and maintain your
fire departments and police depart
ments and parks. and lighting and wa
ter service.
He is the chap who helps support
your city churches and hospitals and
charity organizations, and your lodges
and commercial clubs, and talks for
your city and boosts for your city every
day in the year.
He is the chap who visits you when
you are sick. sends flowers to your
family when you die, and follow your

trade with him and be his friend and
his helper in time of his need

ehandise, is sent to strangers - to men
who never spend dollar in your city,

box of matches
You don't save much, frequently no.
thing, when you send your money out
of your city and you take all the risk
yourself of short weight or measure
and of getting damaged or inferior
goods. And don't you know that the
growth and prosperity of your city de-
ponds very largely upon the success
and prosperity of home merchants Z?
Out-of-town people judge your city by
the appearance of your stores and the
degree OF enterprise shown by your
merchant. And our home merchant can
not succeed unless home folks give
them loyal support - Wisconsin State
