Camp Dodge is not ready to receive
another large increment of soldiers
and it is not definitely known how
soon it will be. It is possible that the
entire remaining IS percent, or 81
men, will report at the same time
when the call comes. :u.'
1t is thought it will be two weeks

one week for the local board to get
out the notices. -,

Local exemption: boards, while re-
'quired to have available for sending
to Camp Dodge, 10 per cent in excess
of their designated quotas for the first
army, may hold this extra tenth at
home as q reserve to be drawn on
when needed. Adjutant General Fra
ser announced this. fact, clearing up a
question which had been troubling
some Of the local boards.
Draft officials had been in doubt as
to whether they would be called in to
send the full 110 per cent of quotas to
training. camp. Only enough men will
be called out Of this extra tenth draft
ed by each local board to make up for
men who are rejected at Camp Dodge
for physical disqualiacations OF other
reasons. To date no such reflections
have been made of Mclean county
men, and it is believed that the state
over they will run very low ~

in issuing new rulings concerning the
execution of the selective draft law,
reinterated that no date has been set

BOTH FAVOR STABLE FORM -
OF GOVERNMENT AND LIBERTY

The bond Of union between Re-
publicans and Democrats is this: They
both favor stable form of govern
ment and Individual liberty. Cd.
Days of dogmatism in politics are
dead. It no longer suffices to say, II
am Republican" or, Il am Demo-
crat." The politician must satisfy
his constituents by giving his reasons
for being Republican or a Democrat.
The politician who would keep to
the front, must from now on be man
of ideas; of vision and at the same
time be a man of common sense anA
wide sxperience.. ~,-s M
Nowadays the dividing line b.
tween democracy and republicanism
has become so fine as to require q
candidate to define his position and
tell what he is and with what parti-
cular faction of the Republican or
Democratic party he is affiliated.
In former times the shibbileths Of
party we're: for Democracy, Free
Trade;" for Republicanism, "Protec-
tive Tariff" These can no longer be-
used to distinguish Republican from
Ia Democrat. - s,:}t
Even Mr.. Mckinley, the high priest
of protection came to see the need 0f
modifying the protective tariff policy
in order to meet changed conditions
and some Of the Southern Democrats
who represent the New South, where
cotton mills and iron foundries are To-
Gated, talksvery much as the Repub-
licans used to talk few years ago.
Politically things are in q fux and
change the old alignment Of parties
is disappearing-we will have to re-
form the lines on different issues. ss

Mclean County
Organization Cele-
brati0n Planned
'Oid and Young viii Gather to Help
in the Celebration That Will
Be Biggest Ever

There is move on foot to cele-
brate the organization of Mclean
county. This county was organized on
November 3, 1888, There has been one
reunion of the organization since that
time, In 1908, and a number think
this is a proper time for another, as
it may be the last time the old tim.
ers can get together and renew their
|acquaintances. There is talk of get.
ting some able. speakers here on that
day. Among them would be Hon. Geo.
P. Fqannery, of st. Paul, president of
the Northern Trust Company. He
was the legal adviser and helped to
organize the county. Another speak
err would be General E. A. Williams, he
also took great deal of interest in
the county. He was the one who in
troduced and had passed the bill that
created Mclean county. in 1888 at
YanktOn, s. D. He would give the
history of the organization. There
would also oe number of speakers
Of later days who would give the late
history,
An effort will be made to get as
many Of the county officers here who
took part in the organization, also the
officers from then down to the present
time.
This celebration is not proposed to
be exclusively for old timers but will
include e everyone. So set that day
aside tobe here to hear the history of
the organization and its later history.
Application will be made to the
county commissioners for the use of
the new court room, which will be
completed before that time. Meet
ings will be held, and committees ap-
pointed over the entire county, so
everyone will be invited to come and
have a good time, and meet the old
and new settlers.
=, 1t is strictly understood there will
be no politics in this, it will be SIM
ply sociable. Politics will not be men
toned. The celebration will be pure
ly to get the old and new settlers to-
gether. The gathering will be for
everybody. More will be said later
when plans are better completed. Ef-
forts will. be made to make this the
biggest day ever held in the county.
