Republican opposition to Woodrow
Wilson manifests itself in much talk
in congress and out, but when one Of
the Wilson administration measures
comes to a vote, even the Republicans
dare not oppose 1t. The Rural Credits
bill passed the senate with only five
votes against it: there were only ten
nays In the house of representatives.
Yet no rural credits bill even reached
a vote under Republican rule. That
is circumstance that the farmers Of
the nation will not forget.

The currency law; the downward re-
vision of the tariff; the establishment
OF the Federal Trade Commission, the
revision of the antitrust laws-these
things have been done for business
men by the Democrats. The rural
credits bill and the shipping bill to re
store the American merchant maIine
these are in the course OF enactment
A record that no administration ever
placed before the people, a record that
the people will not fail to uphold at
the polls.

The one thing that works against

The one thing that works against
Wilson is that he has accomplished SO
much, his administration has forged
ahead so far, that the people are apt
to forget just what was the state OF
things four years ago. Sit down by
yourself. Think about the things that
were disturbing the political thought
OF the country four years ago. Con-
trast them with what Is going on now.
Then there is no doubt about what you
will do in November. You will vote
for Wilson.

WARNS OTHER GIRLS
Miss Bessie Neary Becomes
Wife of Californian After

not recommend correspondence court
ship for other girls Miss Neary, who
lives at 1904 Haverford avenue, was
married at o'clock this morning to
Charles Edison, a banker and bee rancher
of knights Landing, near Calexico, CAL
in ST Agatha's Catholic Church. She
was wooed and won by mail.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. John Tushy. The bridesmaid was
Miss Bessie Oatsman and the best man
Stephen Shaughnessy. The couple will go
to Atlantic City for their honeymoon and
from there to California by way of New
orleans. After the ceremony there was
reception at the home Of the bride
"Courtship by mail in most cases I
should think would be taking n terribly
long chance" said Miss Neary. I'm my
own case it was perfectly all right, be-
cause you see Charlie is such a wonderful
man But all girls couldn't be so lucky
The correspondence couple will 90 to
California to live. where they will settle
down like two little love bees" as goes
the song, on Mr. Edson's bee ranch
Miss Neary says she thinks she will
learn to like California as much as she
does Philadelphia. She became engaged
when she went there last August She
made the trip partly to see the Panama
Exposition. but mostly ~ see the man that
wrote her such thrilling letters. She liked
both very much, indeed. She says her en-
gagement was not instantaneous, but that,
on the contrary It did not happen until
fully six days after she had arrived in
California Then they bought the ring
and all the stories began 70 be printed
in the Sacramento papers. This is the
only thing that worries Miss Neary. She
is afraid that she won't come up to the
pictures drawn of her. But she seems to
worry needessly on this score. She might

but they did not become
well acquainted until Mr.. Edison returned
10 California, and they wrote so many let
ters.
81 am frightened because the people
expect such queen" she says Miss
Neary expects to write "a book on sunny
California some day and will devote no
small part of it to landing there after a
