3 ReDubiican Whip for Wilson.

Wheeling, w. ", Oct. 23.-Thomas F. Ryan, of Roane county, former member of the state republican execu- tive committee and known as the Ire publican whip of Roane county for a dozen years, has announced himself for President Wilson.
 Yes, sir, I am going to vote for Wilson," said MT. Ryan in his law of- fee at Spencer. T have a reason. and a good one. Woodrow Wilson S administration has given to this coun- try more progressive legislation than was ever enacted under any other ad- ministration in the nations history. I voted for Roosevelt in 1912 because his contract with the people called for the enactment of progressive legisla- tion. Woodrow Wilson has redeemed d the pledges made by the progressive party, and I shall not repudiate the contract to which I subscribed in 1912"
 MT. Ryan predicts that Roane county will give a whooping major ity to Wilson. Tom Ryan, as he is familiarly known, is considered the biggest republican in Roane county, and one of the biggest leaders of the state.

DEMAND FOR TELEPHONES.

Correspondence of the Asso. Press.)
 Stockholm, Oct. 23.-Although the [ last Riksdag increased from four to nearly seven million crowns the usual appropriation for new telephone lines, the traffic has again caught up with and overtaken the existing facilities, and the officials in charge of tele- phones and telegraphs are working out plan calling for the installation of a great number of new trunklines in the coming year. The percentage of yearly increase of demands on the lines is steadily growing greater. It was 5.9 per cent in 1912-1913. rose to 7.3 the following year, to 7.5 in 19141915, and exceeded the last named figure in 1915-1916.

Murdocks Wichita Eagle comes out for Woodrow Wilson.

The announcement IS printed under the caption, Wilson and Capper."
 Capper is the republican governor of Kansas. Making it plain that 1t is no defection to the democratic par ty, the article says that Wilson is more progressive than Hughes, and urges votes for the democratic nom inee not because he is a democr but in spite of the fact that he is demo- crat.
