EDITORIAL COMMENT
THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
Edward H. Major.

The Democrats are fortunate in
having as their nominee for Sheriff
this year one of the best men they
have ever offered for this office. Ed
ward H. Major is a native OF this
county and for years has been a
business man in the city of Hopkins
vile. He made the race for the Dem
ocratic nomination four years ago and
lost. This time the people rolled up
a big majority for him over another
popular Democrat. He is intelligent,
active, vigorous and clear-headed.
He is an upright, honest man, who
has the confidence Of everybody. He
is Of unassailable habits, clean, NOR
al, sober and of christian character
and worth. Such man is rare In
politics and the people of Christian
county are going to show their appre-
ciation of Ed Major by electing him
sheriff. His agreeable personality
and good mixing qualities have made
him friends everywhere and his sup
porters are by no means confined to
the Democratic party. He is espe-
cially strong with the colored voters,
many of whom are numbered among
his strongest supporters Mr.. Major
is not only popular himself, but he is
proving to be tower of strength for
the whole ticket. Prospects are i'm
proving every day for the success of
the Democratic ticket. The people
are not thinking of partisanship this
year, they are interested in men and
measures. The Democratic ticket is
made up Of the right kind of men and
stands for the things that the people
want-good government and faithful
service. Watch Ed Major lead the
ticket. 4 sfe ~ Z

Ell p-by General Cadorna, while
from virtually the border pf Trcn-
tino northeastward and eastward
through the Dolomites and the Car
mic Alps to the Fells the northern
army is carrying out a retreat south
ward through the mountainous coun.
try toward the plains. The Germans
and Austro-Hungarians everywhere
are following up the Italians in their
retreat. but with the Italians offer
ing resistance in rear guard actions
along the entire front.
The decision of the Italians to
evacuate the Tagliamento line was
taken after the enemy had intensified
his pressure along the upper reaches
OF the river in the highlands and
pushed across the stream in the cen
ter and to the south. This compelled
a simultaneous withdrawal along the
northern front from the Fella Val.
