Plattsburg Training Camp,
September 3. 1916.
1T Is now just three days since we
left the camp at Plattsburg on the
last lap of month Of intensive mill
tary training at the Plattsburg train
ing camp. Today we are encamped on
a fifteen acre lot, the enemy has
been driven back steadily and we rest
In waiting for the advance of the
morrow.
Thirty-five hundred men are ZEN
camped on the field for the night, a
virtual city of<dog tents. To the north
the mess tents Of each company are
arranged in a line perpendicular to
the long straight lines Of khaki tents.
Farther on the officers tents are
pitched. Where the eighth regiment
ends, the ninth begins, arranged ex
actly as we are. Beyond them and
10 the east IL the rookie cavalry.
Somewhere else In similar tents rookie
artillerymen are located and still else.
where Is rookie machine gun corps.
There Is stream 10 the north of the
field from where the land rises to
some farm houses TO the south. A
Pine forest shuts Off the west, and
some kind OF power house the east.
This Is how I see the camp from the
front Of my dog tent where write.
II is beautiful afternoon and a
cool breeze blows, giving promise OF
another night like the last when there
were only three men In the company
whom know OF who did not SILVER
a good part Of the night. Every one
takes advantage Of the sun and
blankets and clothes are Uttered over
and around the tents. There is a
steady line Of towel carriers passing
TO and from this stream at our north
where we wash and battle. Others
are lying about their tents in
groups. or alone. talking and laugn.

Camp Followers Busy
The morning New York Times has
Just arrived and between newsboys
and vendors Of chocolate bars, fruit
and cigarettes. the peacefulness OF our
city is disturbed. There Is quite q
troop Of camp followers who offer us
all sorts Of things TO eat and drink
for small sums at all times. There
are also the photographers who make
good living off the picture crazy
men OF the camp. They take our pic
lures whenever they are worth taking
and more often when they are not.

Thursday of the second week saw
US learning outpost work and Friday
brought US our first maneuyer. The
following week was devoted to rifle
work. Each man had ten shots at 500.
500 and 600 yard ranges and at 200
and 500 yards at rapid fire All
served in the pits or marched while
not actually on the range In this
week we learned what II felt like to
shoot the real shot In the real gun.
The next week was spent in marches
and maneuvers We were armed with
blank cartridges each day, the prob
lem in hand was explained before
hand and discussed afterward. The
afternoons we're devoted to confer
ences or in drill review
In the last week we are ready for
the hike Some drop out, but very
few. Exaggerated stories Of the
marches, the dread of which Is the
heavy equipment carried, are cir
culated Everybody starts in doubt
resolved to stick 1t through. Most OF
them do.
Today we lost the FIRST batch OF
men. 1t was reported that between
the two regiments IS men. Well. that
is not bad for group Of over 1000.
Altoona, n. Y. Sept. 3, 1916.
We are encamped on a ten or twelve
acre field In Altoona. New York, about
eight miles (according to the mapl
from Maers where we spent the last
night, and from where | sent a card.
Our dog tent city Is up and we have
had our lunch. There Is now an after
noon in which to work. clean weapons
and do sundry other similar and neces-
sary things, We eat again tonight, go
to bed at $3.50 or before and by seven
tomorrow morning Kill advance upon
the enemy again.
1t was really cold last night and
was even colder In the morning. We
froze through the night and were
rudely called inta sharp icy breeze
at Sis for reveille. Tonight 1t is
going to be cold, but we are pre-
pared. Ne have straw to sleep on.
There was a stack OF straw in this
field when we entered An enterpris.
ing farmer tried To sell It for Is cents
an armful. 1t was the only straw and
right on the premises, But the rock
les set up an awful yell, brought the
camera man up to take the farmers
picture and the captain to- argue their
cause, which resulted In the rapid
sale of the straw at 10 cents instead
of % cents. And even this under
the condition that we put II back IN
the morning We were lucky enough
to get plenty of straw. Many did
not get any. for one stack does not
last long in troop OF over 5000 men.

fort and pleasure not possible with
out their use.
A big five passenger touring car,
such as the Overland, costs the farm
er no more than the cost of good
team of horses plus the expense Of
harness and carriage. When not in
use, the automobile requires no at
tention and there is no expense at
tached to it, while the horse must be
looked after at all times and its up
keep expense is the same day after
day, working or idle.
With motor car farmer can
take his family to town, to church, to
social gatherings or in fact anywhere
they may care to 90 in about one-ffth
the time formerly required with 2
horse and carriage. Rain or shine,
the automobile is always at his dis
posal and no matter how hot the
weather, the car can be kept going at
a steady pace without fear OF firing
it out or overheating it.
As a practical necessity, the auto
mobile appeals even more to people
living in the country than to those in
the cities. Thousands Of farmers, who
heretofore were confined their own
limited social area, through lack of
transportation methods, are enabled to
come into touch with others through
the agency Of the motor car.

GAVE MANY
THINGS TO THE FARMER.

The advent Of the automobile gave
to farmers many things they had
never really enjoyed before. Before
it's appearance, life on the farm was
more or less of q humdrum existence,
even under the most favorable condi-
lions.
But the motor car has changed the
entire mode Of living for the average
farmer. It has put him and his fam
lily into touch with life and made it
possible for them to get out and see
what is going on in the rest of the
world.
When the farmer had to depend
upon the horse as means of trans
portation, his social acquaintance was
limited to the comparatively few peo-
pie who lived within short distance
Of his home. A trip to town usually
meant many tedious hours behind a
tired horse, which consumed the great
er part Of q day. The loss of time and
the Inconvenience of travelling took
away all thought of pleasure. In the
majority of cases the farmer went to
town only when compelled to, rather
that through any choice of his own.
This condition existed up to the time
of the appearance Of the automobile.
Then when the farmer realized that
the motor car was not a passing fancy,
INDUCED in only by wealthy city res
idents, he was ready and eager to in
vest in one. Since that time he has
found the automobile almost indis-
pensable. The very fact that more
than half of the Overlands produced
n, fn in,
districts, is pretty good evidence OF
the farmers appreciation.
The progressive farmers who have
given automobiles a fair trial have
found them economical, convenient and
capable Of doing many things quicker
and better than could possibly be done
with horses and wagons or buggies.
They also find them a source of COM

DENVER is PLEASED
WITH WOMAN VOTERS

election was in no way due to woman
suffrage. The special election OF Oc-
tober 16, 1914, was for the purpose oil
recalling one Of our city commission
ers, and was started by an organiza'
iton OF men who were dissatisfied with
the commissioners actions, and this
election the question OF the Molfat
suffrage
"The charter OF the city and coun-
" of Denver provides for the hold
ing of an election in May every two
wears for the purpose Of electing the
city officials. The state laws provide
for the holding of primary election
in September every two years and a
gencdal election for the election OF
state officials in November every two
years.
Referring further to the election o.
February II, 1914, l might say that
this election was asked for by tho
Denver Union Water Company and
paid for by said company, as re-
Quired when corporation seeks to
obtain a franchise. At this same
election the questinon of the Moffat
Tunnel came up.
81 do not believe the city and coun-
tv of Denver is burdened with any
more elections than any other city
of its size in the United States nor
is Woman Suffrage responsible for
the condition Of affairs politically in
the city and county of Denver, or

CIVIC WORK
Women Want to Vote In Order
to Correct Evils Affecting
the Home.

There can be no doubt about the
civic interest OF the women OF any
city or town. Pride in their home
and pride in their communities has
always been evidenced by the wom-
en-. Antl-smoke ordinances. regula-
ton and abolition of obnoxious bill
boards, food inspection laws and a
score of similar regulations have
been put into effect In our cities
through the women's clubs and sim
liar organizations.
Women have taken prominent
part in the moral cleanup OF our
cities, in seeing that they were made
better places for homes and for the
education of children. Women have
endowed and operated day nurseries,
Fairgrounds and rest rooms for the
needy
Surely then, here is class of our
population that ought to have a voice
in the government. Not only do they
show interest, but they take an &C
tive part in the betterment of our
civic and administrative conditions.
Do you not think they are sufficiently
Trustworthy to have the ballot?

GREED OF THE CLARKSBURG
EQUAL SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION

We believe that the majority OF
women seeking the ballot are seek
ing it not so much as right or as
a privilege, but as a means by which
they can best serve humanity.
We believe that the majority Of
women will use their political
rights in the interest Of the home
and the family; that they will mag
nifty that legislation that vitality con-
Germs the health and happiness Of
the human race-that is. that while
men look after the affairs OF life,
women will look after life itself
Because where women have had the
ballot they have used 1t in the in
terest Of the home and the family
and against the saloons, the gam
bling dens and other places OF
crime and immortality, these vicious
interests that are always ans ev-
erywhere arrayed against the bal
lot for women.

Statements Made on

Of elections held in the city Of Den

1912 and April, 1915, it has been stated
that Denver had fifteen elections and

Henry B. Teller, president Of the
election commission of the city and
county of Denver, in a statement pre-

The special election Of February IA.
