NEXT TUESDAY

1t is only four days until the gen
eral election which is to decide wheth-
er the American people shall placo
the seal of their approval upon one
of the most progressive, constructive
and patriotic administrations in the
history of the country. The reaction
airy Republican, special interests and
lingo elements have done their best,
by misrepresentation, abuse and ev-
cry unfair means, to discredit its sane
policies, wise craftsmanship and be-
neficent and far-reaching legislation,
lbut their efforts have utterly failed.
The more the people have studied the
political situation, the clearer has the
conviction dawned upon them that a
change of administration at this time
would be one of the greatest calam-
tiles that could befall our country.
The Republican campaign has been
a sore disappointment to its leaders,
and a most unusual enthusiasm for
Mr.. Wilson has been growing, broad
ening and deepening, Leading educa-
tional men, successful manufacturers,
well-known inventors, prominent bank
ers, heads of railroad management,
Progressive party leaders, and clear
headed men of independent political
thought, have expressed themselves
unreservedly for the present admins
tration, and brotherhoods of railroad
employees and labor organizations of
the various trades have signifed their
preference for Mr.. Wilson. For the
first time in thirty-fve years the eX-
ecutive officers of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor have come out open
ly in a political campaign and advised
all labor organizations under its ju-
risdiction to support Mr.. Wilson.
Certain States classed as hide
bound Republican, of course, are eX.
pected to support Judge Hughes anc
the party he represents, but those
States classed as doubtful promise tc
be swept by the onrushing tide oi
sentiment in favor of Mr.. Wilson into
the Democratic column and assure
his election with a good working ma
jority of Democrats in Congress.

There hasn't been much cordiality
between Lamm and Dickey since the
Dickey contingent refused to allow
the Lammies any voice in selecting
the chairman of the Republican State
Committee, and now it is reported
that Dickey's friends are trying to
trade Lamm votes for Reed votes
that is, that Republican votes will be
diverted from Lamm to Gardner for
any Democrats that may switch from
Reed to Dickey. If Dickey hadn't
been heralded in the Republican cam
paign book as of the mark Hanna"
type, such a suspicion would hardly
have been entertained-bu it won't
go. This is a campaign in which ev-
cry Democrat in the State who goes
to the polls will vote for both Sen
ator Reed and Col. Gardner. They
are highly satisfied with each and are
not in trading or scratching hu.

THE FARMERS OPPORTUNITY

As a thorough and observant bus
mess man Col. Gardner, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, saw
that one Of the great needs of the
farmers to make their business sue
cessful was a specially State organized
and State managed farm loan bank,
where farmers could get financial as
sistance at low rate of interest on
terms to suit their own convenience,
with no fear of being closed out be-
cause of bad crops or other draw
backs that might keep them from
meeting their obligations. He was
not politician or candidate for pub
lie Office at that time and was not
bidding for popular favor, only a dis
interested citizen and successful bus
mess man who wanted to see the
farmers succeed and placed on an
equal footing with men in other lines
Of business in borrowing money to
meet their needs, and he devised and
constructed a bill for what is known
as the Farm Loan Bank. 1t was en-
acted into a law by the General As
sembly of the State, but because Of a
restriction of the State Constitution
it could not be put into effect. A
constitutional amendment, styled on
the ticket as the "Second Constitution
al Amendment" to remove the con-
stitutional restriction, has been sub
mitted bye initiation to be voted on
next Tuesday.
Farmers, you can certainly see why
you should vote for this amendment,
for by so voting you are forwarding
your interests; and you need friend
of the Farm Loan Bank at the head
of the State government to place the
law and the bank into successful op-
Grafton. Where can you find bet
ter or more capable man for this pur-
pose than Frederick D. Gardner, the
author of the Farm Loan Bank bill,
who has made a study of the subject
in all it's bearings, and knows Just
how to go about the work? The
Democratic voters of Missouri nom
mated him for Governor at the pri-
mary, because they knew he would
give the State first-class business
administration. Of course you are
going to vote for and elect him Gov
ernor for in so doing you will be vot-
ing for your own interest as we'll as
the general interest of the State.

CONFUSION AND FUTILITY"

In a speech at Long Branch last
Saturday President Wilson described
the political element back of Judge
Hughes as one of Confusion and fu-
tility," serving under no single cap
tain, moving in no single direction,
with no single or definite purpose in
mind. No more graphic description
could be give of the organized disor-
ganization that is fighting the admin
istration of President Wilson. There
are irreconcilible factions in 1t, with
THE faction of which Roosevelt is the
inspiration on one side, and the reac-
tionary faction which he denounced in
1912 as "porch climbers" and accused
of all the political crimes contained in
his vocabulary of expression on the
other. It is contest between these
irreconcilable elements as to which
shall rule and dominate the Republi-
can party, using Hughes as shuttle
cock around whom their battle for
party supremacy centers.
With such confusion in his sup
port Judge Hughes does not dare
take manly stand for, any clear or
definite policy for fear Of antagoniziiig
the one or the other. In this he has
been a great disappointment to those
who so vociferously demanded his
nomination. He has failed to meas
ure up to their expectations and has
shown himself to be made Of very
common clay-timid and vacilating,
with little or no sincerity, fairness or
decency. The ambitious hope Of in
dividual success has dulled his scru-
pies of right. Trying to hold with
both the reactionary and the radical
lingo factions-each- of which pre-
tends to control him. or expects to use
him if unfortunately for the country
he should be elected-he has made a
sorry spectacle of himself.
These different elements Of confus-
ion and divergent aims are taking ad-
vantage of the disturbed world con-
ditions to discredit the present ad-
ministration by abuse, misrepresent-
alton and classification, because neither
has single sane issue upon which
they can agree or appeal for support.
All is swallowed up in dire confus-
ion in the mad fight which each is
making for party control and SUI
premacy. No wonder President Will
son asks:
seWhat are we to say Of the pa
triotism Of men who take advantage
of crisis of the world, when the for

tunes of men hang in uncertain bal

nation can be maintained only by the
most thoughtful and considerate
means, in order to settle question of
power among themselves? The thing
is incredible. The thing is not to be

the country is being concentrated up

Two of the good strong men on the
Democratic county ticket are W. A.
Mitchell, candidate for judge, of the
County Court in the First district,
and f. M. Matkin, candidate for
County Judge in the second district.
Elect these men and they will look af

good judgment and all matters with
which the County Court; has to do,
and after the interests of the tax
payers as members of the Board Of
