At every meeting held by the re-
publican county candidates lunch
was served after the speaking. Hot
coffee, sandwiches. with gum and
cigars for those who wished, made
great hit with the people who
never failed to stay and spend a
half hour or more visiting and talk
ing with the candidates. Ellis
Small had charge of the lunches
and made decided hit, so much so
that should he throw his hat into
the political ring next campaign
and run for Office he would win in
a walk. And what a change in
methods of campaigning! Only a
few years ago the big end of cam
paign fund went for whiskey, beer
and the debauchery of the voters;
today any candidate attempting
such methods would be swamped at
the polls, and defeat would be GER
tain. Now an appeal must be made
to the brain and heart, to the best
that is in men and women, and the
cleanest men stand the best chance.
1t is high time that whiskey and
beer gave way for ham sandwiches
and coffee. And yet some people
insist that the world is not getting
better.-Clearwater Republican.
