RULE, vote against the prohibition
amendment.
If you believe in HOME RULE, vote
against the prohibition amendment.
A ''wet" vote is vote to leave the
COUNTRY "DRY" as it NOW is. and
to leave tn ecities WET as they now
ARE. Isn't that the FAIR WAY to
settle the matter-dOingunto the cities
as you would have the cities do unto
the country, making the Home Rule
work both ways?
Constitutional prohibition would at
single stroke decapitate this prin-
ciple of Home Rule and destroy Mt Il
blow the inalienable right of local self
government.

CONVICT CANDY PULL
ENDS IN DISASTER

Admission, Ala, Oct. 1ls-An old
fashioned candy pulling in the Cal
houn County Jail here resulted in
quantity of sorghum, a bucket of dis
infectant and the overalls Of Telas
Morrison, a prisoner and official candy
maker, went up in smoke. The pris-
oners were boiling the sorghum on an
improvised stove when the disinfect-
ant caught fire. Morrison's overalls
became ignited and he was badly
burned.
There will be no more candy pulling
in the Jail. Guests must content them
selves with some other diversion.

WILSON ATTACKS
JUSTICE HUGHES
President Makes Political Speech
in Spite of Promise He
Would Not.

indianapolis, Oct. II. - Assailing
Charles f. Hughes personally for the
first time in the campaign, President
Wilson said today:
"Any man who revives sectionalism
in this country is unworthy of the con-
fdence of the nation"
The great crowd cheered loudly for
several minutes.
81 did not come here to talk politics,
as you well know" the President sud-
denly broke out, during a plea for
good roads, "but l must say this" and
he spoke of the "sectionalism" issue
raised by his political opponents.
"The man who raises this cry of sec
tionalism," he said, "shows his own
provincialism, his own ignorance. 1t is
the depth of antipatriotic feeling"
The President then said a united
front is absolutely necessary for the
new natiOnalism of America.
with one body pulling one way and
another pulling another we cannot do
anything for the world. The United
States must be ready with a united
force. We can no longer play with the
elements of our force. We have got
to combine the efforts of our indus
trials under expert leadership along
the new lines Of new age l want
to see universal cooperation" the
President said.
Again, however, the President
launched into politics, saying:
politics as a means of running for
Office is contemplate.
The President said at one time: "As
a combination of thoughtful men gain
a given end, it is all right If I
couldn't be associated with a Congress
that did something, I'd quit.
"a man told me once that most
politicians talked through their
hats. Talking through hats should be
a dead issue. Politics should be fea-
tured by this slogan, Put up or shut
up"

HOME RULE IN MISSOURI

Twenty-Seven years ago a local OPP
ton law was passed by the Missouri
General Assembly, which permits each
county in the State, and cities of over
$500 inhabitants, to withhold from or
issue licenses to dramshops, as the
people of the respective cities or coun-
ties may determine by their votes.
This is true HOME RULE. 1t en-
bodies the American principle of local
self-government. Your COUNTY has
HOME RULE-you have dealt with
the liquor traffic without OUTSIDE in
reference - that is American and
Democratic. But why should not the
LARGE CITIES have HOME RULE,
too, and be permitted to deal with the
liquor question as seems best to them,
without OUTSIDE interference You
don't want the CITIES to govern YOU
in this matter; why should YOU want
to govern the CITIES?
Don't you think that if your county
is permitted to be "wet" or "dry," as it
may elect. that the CITIES SHOULD
HAVE THE SAME RIGHT? Isn't
that fair? ISN'T THE HOME RULE
A SQUARE DEAL FOR CITIES AND
COUNTRY ALIKE?
If you think the prohibition rule
should be made to work BOTH ways,
vote AGAIN the prohibition
If you think a MAJORITY SHOULD

pen again." Alexander declared. You

puts something over on you"
This year, L. B. Houck, Ben Vineyard
and Alexander are managing the show
and they propose to guard against a
repetition of the McAdoo steal with
Mr.. Bryan when he arrives here. They
have taken Chief of Police jeff Hutson
into their confidence and expect to
throw a hollow square around their
man that will make him safe.
The factional rivalry in the local
arm of the Democratic organization al
ready has made itself strongly felt in
the work of the "Oil" or Finance Com
mittee. The local club has found it
virtually impossible to raise money.
Ben Vineyard evolved a notion that
gives the club an opportunity to make
the donating TRULY Democratic. Re-
serve seat coupons have been issued.
The rally is supposed to be free-for-
all affair, but whenever one of the re-
serve seat coupons is filled out, it is
accompanied with a "bone" which
means that every one who getr re-
serve seat will have to kick in for at
least 81.

Today the Savages make their last
stand against Wichita this season, the
two teams being scheduled to battle
through another doubleheader, the
fourth in four days.
Tomorrow the Topekans will return
home for a three-day engagement with
St.1Joe, after which they will journey
to Drummerville on their last jaunt of
the season.

Used Up Pitchers.
Doyle started the first game for To-
peka, but was unable to go the route
and was relieved by Henning who had
worked a full game the day before.
In the second engagement. Cecil
Higgins the new recruit pitcher, was
given his first chance. His work was
fairly effective. but to make sure of
the game. Engle benched him and
Burwell finished out the contest.
r The Savages have another new
pitcher, a Florence, Kan. boy who has
been making quite a reputation for
himself this summer. His name is
Felix Cooper, and it is reported that
he is a young giant, being six feet
p three inches tall and weighing 1856
pounds when down to pitching weight.
Cooper will join the team today and
will probably be given a chance during
the ST. Joe series.

than eight minutes of actual fighting,
Johnny Kilbane, of Cleveland, spoiled
the hopes of George CLANCY, of Bal

championship Monday. terrific
right smash to Chaney's jaw settled
the battle near the end of the third
round. The champions longer reach
and greater defensive skill offset the

the Baltimore lad were broken easily
for the most part by Kilbane and the
champion earned an even break in
the first two rounds by his clever de-
fensive tactics.
