POLITICAL CAMPAIGN Is
MAKING A SLOW START
Many Candidates Expected to Con-
test for the Various County Offices.
The Campaign Seems &C. be Late
I'm Getting a Start.


Although q fow men have made
their public announcements as can
didate sfor county office this year,
there Is every indication that the
field of aspirants will be large. The
campaign Is late in starting this year,
only three men having formally an
nounced for office. Two years ago,
by this time, there we're a dozen in
the field making their active cam
paigns. This year, so far, only one
man is making an active campaign.
The tendency to wait is probably
augmented by the fear as to what
the Legislature may do about making
the terms of county officers four In
stead of two years. If this is done,
there will be no campaign, as the
present incumbents will hold over.
the fact that there is likely to be a
strong move to abolish the office of
county judge is also doing a part to
keep candidates from announcing for
that office.
So far as can be determined, the
probable lineup for county offices
this year will be about as follows
For Sheriff-John Phillips, Clip
per Hamilton, Early Zion, and jeff
Early.
For County Judge. L. Rappolee.
Lewis Paullin, Porter Newman.
For County Attorney-Grey Moore
g. p. Abbott, Richard Nicolds.
For County Treasurer--Carl Beat
ty, Sam Ross, Marvin Mcdaniel, John
Spell, and possibly w. J. O'Donley.
For Court Clerk-W. A. Jones.
For County Clerk-John Finney,
II. b. Deaton. ]. M. Moore.
Cor County Assessor-Will Yeats,
lW W. Gates, and Lacy Grimes.
For County Weigher-R. A. Bish-
Top, Ben Lee. Ned Bates.
For County superintendent X.
Mcintosh, c. L. Whitney.

This year the program of the Lyceum

seem to think that the Normal people
make money by bringing these enter

they break even, they are in luck. We

OBITUARY

| Cordelia Frances Fitch, widow of
/ Marcus J. r. Treat, passed out OF the
/ body to a higher life August II, 1916,
while sitting peacefully in her wheel
chair under the beautiful trees 10 the
yard of her home, upon the anniversary
of her marriage to the husband OF her
youth, Chester J. Colborn.
Mrs. Treat was married to Mr. Treat,
| June Is, 1861, at Medina, Ohio, and
moved from Medina, Ohio, TO Memphis,
Tenn, during ths first year of the Civil
War During this struggle Mrs. Treat
was a friend to the Union soldiers,
and the orphans of the colored race
For this race she sacrificed several
years of her early life, by taking charge
of the Memphis Colored Orphan Asy-
| lum, which was founded by Mr.. Treat
sister, Mrs. S. A. Martha Garfield, who
was very noble character This asy-
lum was turned over to the Episcopal
Diocese at the close OF the war.
Mr.. Treat came to Hays, October 2,
/ 1867, leaving his wife In her position at
| the asylum, until he could make home
/ for her. She arrived in Hays, with her
two children May, 1869.
They had many struggles IN this west
] ern town, and she stood shoulder TO
shoulder with her husband IN laying
| the foundation of their future home
and fortune.
One of the incidents of her life in the
early days centered around very deS-
perate character, whose name was
| James Currie, who terrOrized the town,
no man dared TO ask for help from the
Fort, finally two women, one of them
| Mrs. Treat, slipped cut and gong IN a
round about way reached the Fort and
secured troops for relief. and such was
the terror of Currie and his crowd, that
Mrs. Treat and her friend did not dare
tell of their midnight journey for
years.
In the early days when anyone was
needed in time of birth, sickness, and
death, Mrs Treat was the comforter
and helper.
Mrs. Treat was a charter member of
the Eastern Star and the Rebekah
Lodge.
Nav God bless her for her work here,
may His light shine upon her in her
new home, where she is not in the dark
ened mental condition and crippled
state that was her lot IN the last few
/ wears of her life

The Lieht Plant Again.

About two years ago, the citizens of
Hays were called upon to vote for mu-
nicipal ownership of the Hays Electric
Light and Power plant The Free Press
then as now, was heartily IN favor OF
the city owning and running the plant
for the benefit of the citizens of the
city, but after rather hotly contested
campaign, the proposition was turned
down at the polls. Now the matter
has come to the front again. The own
ers of the Light Plant have recently
asked las their fraechise will soon ex-
pire) that the city council grant them a
new franchise. The city council, after
dehberating with the owners of the
plant, have employed a Kansas City
Engineering Company to appraise the
plant to ascertain approximately what
it is worth, and viii again submit the
question of municipal ownership of the
plant, to the citizens of the city, Nov
goth, the same date called for the deci-
sion on commission form of govern
ment.
1t has simply narrowed down to two
propositions. The city must either own
the plant or the Light Company will be
given a new franchise, and that viii
probably mean the sale of the plant to
some outside firm that viii work the
business for all it is worth Municipal
ownership will mean a reduction in the
cost of lights for the city and its. citi-
| Zens A new franchise will mean the
same rate of 15c. per killowat. If the
property should be sold to outside
parties, ahigher rate might be charged.
See Mayor Chittenden or the Light
Plant people, and get all information
possible before you decide.
/ This important matter will be discuss
ed In future issues of the Free Press.
and we hope that the property holders
and voters will take different view OF
the matter at the next election.

SENATOR EDMUNDS' LETTER.
Enosburg Standard.

Ex-senator George F. Edmunds
contributes some timely and pointed
observations in connection with the
presidential campaign which show
that this venerable statesman and
distinguished Vermonter still retains
a lively interest in, and grasp of public
affairs and has not lost the faculty of
clear thinking and forcible expression.
In letter to the New York World,
written from his home in California,
Mr. Edmunds replies to a recent de-
tense by the Hon. Richard Olney of
the Wilson administration, and treat
ing more particularly with the Wilson
policy in dealing with Germany and
with the domestic question of the
threatened railway strike.
Mr.. Edmunds roundly condemns
the policy of the Wilson administra-
ton which stood by like Paul at the
martydom of Stephen, "consenting, "
while Belgium was ravaged and did
nothing in the face of the deliberate
murder of the passengers of the
Lusitania but indulge in continued and
re-continued discussions.
He contrasts the Wilson policy
with that of President Cleveland,
whose firm and unequivocal attitude
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1916-10-27

at another period of international
tention was slgnally effective and this
without involving the country In war;
while fully maintaining the country's
honor and prestige.
In the railway strike matter Mr.
Edmunds arraigns President Wilson's
submission to the club enforced de-
mands Of the unions and this matter
also contrasts the Wilson attitude with
that of President Cleveland, when a
railway strike was on during his admin
istration,
Asa whole Mr., Edmund's letter Is
notable contribution to the present
political campaign, which, If we eX'
cept the speeches of Mr., Hughes him
self and the addresses and articles of
Mr.. Roosevelt, is not especially replete
with vigorous eXpositions of the issues
of the day,
Mr.. Edmunds concludes his letter
with reference to the record Of the
republican candidate in which he says
"Mr. Hughes career from the
very beginning Of his varied and pro
gressive public service has been beyonC
reproach and to the great good OF tho
public interests which have been in hi
charge. They are monuments Of things
done and make a reputation which doe'
not depend upon the words or opinions
of politicians of any party, and will b.
followed by reposng trust in him a
a worthy successor of President Cleve
land in every attitude which that grea
man would admire in the best republi
can president,
