by the Des Moines "hog combine" has
largely developed into wall that the
democrats are going to vote for him.
The same cry was raised after the
June primary when it became known
that Governor Harding had carried al
most every county in the state, not
withstanding the fact that it is i'm.
possible for voter to change his party
affiliations without first having filed
an affidavit with the county auditor
declaring his intention to change mis-

mark that Mr.. Lehman the republi-
can candidate for recorder, does not
need the office; he already has a

so far as the "Good job" is concerned,
but the voters of Crawford have

The "hog combine" through the
Register at Des Moines. reports most
cordial welcome to Meredith down at
wetest of the wet territory in the
state. Undoubtedly welcome news to
some of the clergy over the state.
You know there is general i'm
preston among democrats and repub-I

Harding comes from the fact that he
has interferred with the plans of the
''hog combine down at Des Moines,
combine that knows no politics but
the dollar sign. The spirit of fair
play moves democrats as we'll as re-
publicans, and it seems a powerful in
f1uence in favor OF the young man who,
starting as poor farm lad, without
rich or influential relatives, secured
his own education and fought his way
to the bar and in politics. Therefore
