WHAT REPUBLICANS THINK.

George F. Johnson of the Endl-
colt, Johnson & Co., big leather and
shoe manufacturers of Endicott, New
York. heretofore a republican, an
nounced today through the Woodrow
Wilson independent League at Wash
ington, he favored the reelection of
President wilson. Mr.. Johnson not
only believes the President should be
reelected, but he has promised to
lend his individual efforts to bring
this about. He has been member
of the Organization Committee OF
the League. His statement giving
his reasons for supporting the Pres
ident follows: 81 am in favor of the
reelection of President Wilson be-
cause he has handled the difficult
problems of Government splendidly.
No man could have done better I'M
der existing conditions. He has
served the nation at time when
service meant much to him and to
the nation. He has been shamefully
attacked by politicians for political
effect. He has earned, and is justly
entitled, to the confidence and sup
port of the American people. .
The present condition of the country
the work in which he has been en-
gagged, the incomplete, and at the
present time, critical condition of
the work, the experience which he
has had and the ability he has shown,
all indicate that it is a matter of
common sense and good judgment
to see that he is retained to finish
the work now in progress"

WILSON TO OUTRUN PARTY.
(From Philadelphia Record.)

(TTOIl HlldOSlpiild IeSSOIu'J
According to the New York Tri-
bune, quoting some unnamed infor-
mant, apparently its own editor,
there are going to be more indie
pendent voters this year than ever
before and most of them will sup
PORT Wilson in preference to Hughes.
This prophet further says:
II am willing to bet that when
the votes are counted, it will be
found that Mr.. Wilson has run.
far beyond the usual party vote
almost all over the country, and
that he will carry some of the
following States and prove that
all were doubtful: Ohio, Cali
fornia, Wisconsin, Colorado,
Nebraska, South Dakota, and
perhaps, even Kansas, Massa-
chusetts and Oregon"
The enthusiasm with which such
Roosevelt papers as the Tribune and
the Kansas City Star are booming
Hughes is wonderful. They mention
his name editorially perhaps as often
as once a week.

HONOR SLAIN SOLDIER.

Harrodsburg Friday honored the
memory of Corporal Davis Marks
bury, of the regular army, who was
killed in action against Villas ban
dts at Namiquipa, Mexico, last May.
Funeral services were conducted at
the Christian church by the Rev. R..
NJ. Sampson, and the crowd which
attended the funeral was the largest
ever seen at a funeral in Mercer
county. Nearly all the business
buildings, the court house and city
hall flew flags at haff mast, and a
long funeral procession was headed
by Boy Scouts.

THE CAMPBELL HOUSE ranks

THE CAMPBELL HOUSE ranks
among the first of hotels in this sec
ton of the country. Mr.. G.. L. Reed,
hotel Inspector, says the Phoenix Ho-
tel and the Campbell House are two
hotels that no fault can be found
with. Mr.. Reed said while here that
no fault however small had been
found in its management during the
eleven years it had been run, and
in the future it will be run in the
same way. Every hotel would be
proud to and very few are able to
say this. SOL
