PARTY OF CONFIDENCE
AND OF GOOD WORK

This is a critical political election;
questions national and international
are seeking Observation-Disclosures that
are vitality important to the people of
the United States and to the civilized
world. The policy toward nations
abroad and at home is at present en-
gaging the attention of our ablest
statesmen and best diplomats, ques.
tions which mean veal or woe to us
as people. After the great Euro
pean war is over the readjustment of
industrial and social conditions will
require the guidance and direction of
our ablest statesmen in every politi-
cal crisis in our history. In the past
so years the republican party has sue
cessfully guided the ship of state
through it's political perils with honor
and safety. 1t has been the party of
progression and advancement in our
history. Stable and unwavering in
its issues, it has maintained the con-
6dence of the American people, it is
the party to which Lincoln, Grant,
Garfield, Mckinley and Blaine gave
their devotion and fealty, who gave
to party its distinction and original
individuality during their lives and
among the consultations of bright
lights in American history none shine
with greater luster in the horizon of
political greatness, those whose SER
vice and deeds for their country will
ever be memorable. Republicans,
flock to your standard, be true to the
principles of your party. Political
order must be reunited, stability and
confidence in government must be
sought. Vote with the party that has
made America renowned throughout
the world. Vote for Hughes.
No ADLER, cleaner man has been be-
fore the American people than the
present republican standard bearer.
He never spent a postage stamp to
secure the nomination, and his straight
forward and able campaign fully jnsti-
fies the thought that the republican
national convention knew his worth
when it selected him to make the race.
If there has been DOUBT regarding
the result on next Tuesday that doubt
has been swept aside and leaders give
assurance that the question is the
size of the majority.
Make the majority in Vernon coun-
ty for Hughes and the entire ticket
representative of old days. Republic
cans ought therefore to be sure and
vote and see that their neighbors and
friends attend election.

laborer acknowledges the danger of
disastrous foreign competition in our
markets after the war, aud most of
them are convinced that the only safe
course for us to pursue is TO restore

through a republican congress and a
republican president. Every voter

Democrats have not kept their pro-
mise, made in the platform, to reduce
the high cost of living. On the con-
trary every family in the United
States is paying higher prices for tn,

per cent higher than it cost them I'M
der the previous republican admins
tration. What would four years more
of such advances in living do to all

person will hesitate before voting to
continue in power an administration
under whose auspices these alarming
conditions have developed.

and tried to brush from his mind the
picture Of Edythe Maitland's eyes.
His game wandered to where she

at the clock.

He watched the play OF her fingers
on the clicking keys, looking at them

seemingly unconscious of his gaze,
finished her task, and crossing the
room, placed the papers on his desk.
