R. BERRY SMITH EIGHTY
DAYS ON FIRING LINE

Mrs. N. A. Smith of Hayne is in
receipt of letter from her son, R.
Berry Smith, of Co. C, 10th Field
Sep. Bat, which reads in part as fol-
lows:
after eighty days on the firing
line we are resting in a nice quiet
French village and it certainly seems
good to be where we don't hear all
the noise and have to face the smoke
and shapnels from the big shells. |

We are having lots of cold rains here

KANSAS RETURNS TO
REPUBLICAN COLUMN
C. o. P. Sweeps Everything in Nov
ember Drive. Has Probably Elect
ed all Congressman and Senators
An off Season for Democratic Can
didates. Lose Every Contested
Office Except District Clerk

Overturning the hopes of the Dem
ocrats and exceeding the most san
guine expectations of the Republi-
cans-that in a sentence tells the
story.
Like a thunderbolt from the clear
sky Republican landslide struck
Kansas Tuesday. Henry j. Allen
was elected Governor by a tremend-
Gus majority, while Arthur Capper
was close on his trail for United Stat
es Senator. And Capper carried with
him not only the district but the state
and in many counties the entire
county ticket.
Seward returned a majority for
every Republican candidate from
Governor down with two exceptions.
Chas. NJ. Tucker, Democratic candi-
date for District Clerk has a major
ity of /. This may be changed by
the mail vote, but from the best in
formation available his majority will
be strengthened rather than reduced.
This is of course problematical.
The other office held by the Dem
ocrats is that of County Superintend-
ant, for which Miss Emma Thompson
had no opposition.
According to those who are in po-
sition to know there were more
straight votes cast in Seward county
than for years. In the city, and in
one or two precincts there was some
scratching on both sides, but the bulk
of the tickets were cast entire for
the man whose name was first mark
ed on the ticket.
A heavy vote was polled, but there
were many who did not get to vote
through not being registered or being
detained at home on account of sick
ness.
The vote was really a surprise to
all. Some of the Democratic candi-
dates were expected to be elected by
a good majority. 1t was freely pre-
dicted that Congressman .Jouett
Shouse would be reelected but j.
N. Tincher carried the county by
1862 and the District from five to
eight thousand.
Capper's majority in the county
was 487.
The vote by precincts is given else
where in this issue.

UNITED WAR WORK
CAMPAIGN NEXT WEEK
You Will be Asked to Digit is
Necessary. Dig Deep for
Best Results

Next week a bunch of men and
women who have plenty of business
of their own to attend to will lay it
aside that they may solicit funds for
the United War Work Campaign.
The War Workers are the differ
ent organizations that are looking
after the "boys Over There" There
are seven organizations to be finan-
ced and the work has been pooled so
they can be handled with as little loss
of time and effort as possible.
The organizations represented in
the United War Workers Campaign
are worthy of your support, for they
are doing work for those who are
in the thick of the fight for Democ-
racy
The Red Cross, the Y. NJ. C. A.,
the Salvation army and other or
ganizations which are providing med
ical care and comforts to the soldier
boys are all represented in the Cam
paign and each will get its share of
the fund raised.
No one should hesitate to contrib

looked upon as a donation, for it is
not in any sense a charity-it is a
duty you owe, whether you pay it or
not. Those boys over there are sac
rificing for you and you owe it to
them to send them every care and
comfort you possibly can, and if you
do not you are falling short in paying
your just debts. You can't do what
they are doing; but you can help in
this way.
Don't take up the time of the soli-
citor in explaining or wrangling.
Get out that check book and if you
have a real American heart write a
check that will make the cashier
look up your balance, 1t won't hurt
you. Those boys are facing cannon
balls without flinching-don't get
heart failure over letting loose your
dollars.
This drive is a good time to smoke
out slackers and pro-Germans.
And Dig! Dig! Dig!
