i'll that it is now time for the Demo-
Gratis to get together, and for Mr.
Kitchen to either lead the Democrat

one else the leadership upon this
measure.
Firginian Pleased Over Wilson's Con-
sent for Use of Name on Ballot.
The Virginia delegation expressed
general qualification today upon the
receipt of the news that President
Wilson had consented to allow his
name to be used in Ohio as n presiden-
tial candidate.
1t was aforegone conclusion. thew
seemed to think, that the president
would again agree to become acandi-
date. Sentiment all over the country
they declared, is strongly in favor of
his reelection, and he will be renomi-
mated by acclamation, regardless of
whether he puts himself forward.
Il am pleased to see the president
has prDntnI g.,
OF his name as candidate for re.
election" said Senator Swanson. "l
would nave been greatly disappointed
if he had done otherwise"
Congressman Flood said:
The Democrats of the country and
che people of the country generally
iamand that the president should he
! candidate to succeed himself and
there was no way in which he could
escape the Popular demand. He will
be renominated without opposition,
ana VIII undoubtedly be reelected"
Senator Matrin and the other Vir-
Sih;ns made expressions similar 10
those OF Senator Swanson and Repre-
sentative Flood. In fact, almost every
Democratic congressman thought Il
was the proper thing for the presi-
dent to do. There were a few excep-
tions, however, and two of these were
Speaker Champ Clark and Congress
man Fitzgerald, chairman of the ap-
preparations committee.
Speaker Clark said: 81 don't know
about it, and l don't care
about it, either"
Chairman Fitzgerald, who has been
at ioggerheads with the president for
Two years over appointments in
Brooklyn, said: "You had better get
some politicians to discus it; Pm not
in politics."

Ewing G. Bland, Candidate for
Judge of the Kansas City
Court of APPEALS.

Judge Bland is a son of the late
Silver Dick Bland, the Missouri
Commoner, who served in Con-
gress for 26 years and who mar
rowly missed being nominated for
president in 1896, when Bryan de-
feated him. Judge Bland is very
much like his father in personal
appearance and temperament. The
younger Bland made nation
wide reputation in his judicial ca
pacity and was rendered two I'M
solicited appointments by Presi-
dent Wilson who thus showed the
strong confidence he had in him.
The President is his friend and
has given him a letter Of general
and a vote for Bland
will be a vote of confidence in the
President.

Letter from Col. Robbins
Winterset, Iowa,
July oath, 1916.

Editor Times
Butler, Mo. -
Well, as we have reached her,
safely, I thought l would droI
you few lines about our return
trip.
We reached here at noon Satur
day and have travelled just 32O(
miles since leaving Butler and
have never had the car in q
garage but once, that was fol
storage only.
All we broke about it was the
little bolt that holds the front
spring together and we crossed
places that few cars have ever
crossed. Used about 40 gallon
Of gasoline and paid all the way
from 20 cents to so cents per gal
lon for it.
Saw all kinds of people and all
kinds of country and crops. The
best country we have crossed so
far has been the Dakotas, especial
ly South Dakota. They have an
excellent country and as fine
crops as a man wants to see on
land at around $25 per acre.
When we left Billings, where
we saw Mrs. Dee Wheeler and
Mrs. Berry and daughter, Nita,
Alonzo Jundy and wife, Will
Ewin and wife, all of Bates coun-
ty, we then went north east down
the Yellow Stone river to Terry
and followed what is called the
Yellow Stone trail, an auto road
from Chicago to the Yellow Stone
park. From Terry we went south
east into North Dakota and
worked south into South Dakota.
We ran onto little bunch of
Indians having some wind of an
nual blow out, they told us. There
were between three and four
thousand camped there. We fer
ricd across the Missouri river at
and camped on this side
of the town and that night small
cyclone hit us and blew our rag
house down and broke the ridge
pole and soaked everything we
had, but when morning came the
sun came out and by noon we
were all dry and happy again.
We saw the world famous corn
palace at Mitchell, South Dakota,
and it certainly is worth seeing.
We then crossed into Iowa at
Sioux City and found the best
roads we had found along the
entire trip. The crops are fine,
small grain nearly all cut and hay
mostly put up.
1t is a little dry here at present
out has the appearance of rain.
We expect to continue our home
ward journey this week and will
likely be at home Saturday or
sunday
We will close hoping you are
having plenty of rains there as
hey are needed this hot weather.
Very respectfully,
Mr.. and Mrs. c. f. Robbins.
