1t appears now that it was Tom
Steele instead of George Scott who
was elected to congress in the elev-
enth district, a recount of the votes in
one precinct in Sioux City giving
Steele the lead of fifty-one votes In
this one precinct, the recount. by at
torneys for both Scott and Steele
proves one hundred votes cast for
Steele were counted for Scott 1t was
the only precinct in Sioux City in
which Steele did not run with the
president and the discrepancy was so
great that Steele's supporters became
suspicious Immediately on the an
nouncement of the result of the vote
on the night of the election. The re-
suit of this last recount will un-
doubtedlv give the election to Steele,
as complete official canvass of the
thirteen counties of the district has
already been made and the results
there cannot be changed. 1t looks
strange, not to say suspicious, when
a hundred votes are stolen from a
democrat right under the nose of an
board, and all that right in
a white mans country.-Manson
Democrat.

THE FARMERS YEAR.

In year of relatively short crops,
the value of American farm products
in 1916 reached the enormous figure
of S13, 500, 100000, the highest OF
record For the smaller yield from
their acres the farmers were compen-
stated by prices more than so per
cent higher than the average for the
produced less, but they had the salts
faction of receiving more money for
what they sold than in any similar
period since 1913.
But while the prosperity of the
farmer makes him appear the chos-
en- favorite of fortune, in the final
footing the benefits he receives may
indicate. He in turn cannot escape
the penalty of high prices which has
fallen upon the whole country, or
help sharing in the universal griev-
ance because of the excessive cost OF
living. Whatever he buys means
heavier outlay than formerly, wheth-
er labor, machinery, supplies or COM
prices, which contributed to his peck
ct welfare, bears on him equally with
all those who are dependent upon
him for food and cuts into his in
come disproportionately when it is
0ne-sided prosperity is likely to
be more apparent than real. No class
can long hope to pile up inordinate
profits without forcing the balance
in time to turn against itself. Wage
earners eventually will learn how the
rule works, and the farmer, while
dazzled by his luck and blessed be-
yond most others, cannot hope to be
the exception when high prices serve
at the same time to fill and empty
his pockets.

tered by president of the United
Washington's farewell address de-
fined a foreign policy of isolation
based upon prudence and temporary
expediency. At the time it was made,
trouble with Europe was to let Eur
ope alone and have nothing to do
with it except in respect to trade and
commerce.
The Monroe Doctrine was reac-
ton from isolation in asserting the
principle that the integrity of the he

must not undertake to reimpose it's
political systems upon the countries

and Portuguese allegiance.

NATIONAL FOREST SUPER
 VISOR VISITS THE CITY

Forest Supervisor c. " Clark of the Ozark Natl forest, whose offices are at Harrison, Arkansas, spent last night in Malvern, conferring with local lumbermen in regard to recruit ing for the Forest Regiment. While Hot Spring County has furnished a larger quota of high class men to this regiment than any other County of the state, there still are opportunities for other applicants. MT. Clark expressed pleasure at the the quality of men enlisted here, and left this morning upon flying trip through the southern mill towns of Arkansas with the intention Of picking a few more of the best men available. The plan which he will follow is to accept a few men from each camp, thereby reducing the loss to each, anu distributing It over the state.

make their home.

Several have asked me why 1 did not let them know I was candidate for delegate to the Constitutional Con- vention. so for the benefit of all, will say I was NOT candidate for that position.
 I was petitioned by 51 electors to become a candidate who proposed to pay the expenses if I would file the certificate required of all candidates, which I declined to do because 1 was holding one office to which had been elected and thought that enough at present. I told one of the election commissioners, R. P. Goodman) was not a candidate and for them not to put my name on the ticket and they did not.
 From the report of the election giv- en by the paper last week, I see 2I1 are recorded as voting for me not withstanding tae facts above stateu. These 271 votes for me were all in only 10 out of 21 townships in the county and there were only 287 other votes cast in the entire county. In view of these facts and further fact that those who voted for me had to do so by writing my name on their tickets I feel that by such unusual voting you have bestowed upon me one of the highest political compliments that you could have conferred for which please accept my sincere thanks
 Very gratefully yours,

GLOVER ANNOUNCES
 FOR CIRCUIT JUDGE
Prosecuting Attorney Makes Formal Announcement for Judge of Eth, Judicial Circuit, Subject to Demo- cratic Primary.

The Record is authorized to announ- ce, today the name of Hon. D. D. G1ov- CT, of Malvern, as candidate. for Cir cult Judge of the 7th Judicial Circuit, subject to the action of the Democrat ic primary, to be held in April of 1918.
 MT. Glover is at present serving his second term as Prosecuting Attorney of this district, having been elected in 1914, without opposition, and again in 1916, without opposition He has proven himself an able lawyer, and a vigorous and competent prosecutor, and has always been found faithful and trustworthy to the duties that have devolved upon him, in looking after the states interest in every de- tail, no matter how small or how large the case might be.
 He has been resident of Hot Spring county since 1896, having nov ed to Malvern, from Grant county, where he was born. After coming to this city<he engaged in the mercantile business for ten years, and was elect ed Representative in the 1909 Legis- 1ature, and sent back in 1911. His record in both sessions will bear the closest inspection, and no criticism can be found. He was always at his post of duty, looking after the interests of his constituents, and was considered by has colleagues as one of the strong est and most influential members of both sessions Realizing his ability, he was made chairman of the State Capi- tol Committee, in the session of 1909 and led the fight which took the capi- tol building out of politics, and result ed in it's completion. In the session of 1911 he was made chairman of the Ways, and Means, Committee. the most important committee of the Leg islature. In both sessions, he was re- garded as among it's strongest mem bers
 Mr. Glover is well known to the voters of the three counties in which he will run, Hot Spring, where he has lived for twenty years; Grant, where he was born and reared; Saline, where he has many friends. He will make an active campaign for the position and his friends claim, that his training while serving as Prosecuting Attorney render him in every way capable and efficient to fill the high position of Judge of the Judicial Circuit. Hav- ing fully made up his mind to enter the race and intending to make an ac- tive and aggressive campaign for the position, he takes this method of let ting his friends in the district know of his intentions.
 His race will be subject to the action of the Democratic party, of which he has been member all his life, having never scratched ticket, and always supporting the nominees from the low est to the highest He feels that if the voters believe that he has done his duty in the positions with which they have honored him, he should be given their endorsement, and be promoted to the higher position to which he aspires.
 MT. Glover states, if elected he will never be a candidate for third term Of office, but will step down and let other worthy men have a chance.
 This paper submits his claims to the voters of the 7th. Judicial Circuit for their careful consideration

 He was relieved of the largest spec imens by friends here, and it looked as though he was helping keep up some of his friends by his liberality in pre- senting them with the largest of his crop.
