Mr.. Hughes S,547,47A in the last cleo
ton. Benson received 100000 and
Hanly 225,101. The total vote was
ls,63S,S71. Wilson's vote four years
ago was 297,099, Roosevelt's 4,12A,-
059, Taft's 3,846,399, Debs' 90l 1878
and Chafin's 2o7,92S These figures
indicate that the Wilson vote was in
creased almost 100000, that Hughes
had about 100000 votes more than
the combined vote of Roosevelt and
Taft, that the Socialist vote was de-
creased by more than 100000. and
that the Prohibition vote was in
creased by almost 10000. The 1916
vote was in increase over the 1912

1t is about the time of the year
for each individual to go thru his or

there is not the book of some one
who was kind enough to loan it. Per-

his or her much admired book is. The
,e who loaned the book has forgot
ten to whom it was loaned and the
borrower has become careless and
'ails to return the book. Perhaps
dozens of people in this community
