DEAR PARENTS:
| am well. About
two weeks ago | sent some money
home, and the next day left for
the front, reaching there about
midnight and the next day Thurs
day, September 18th, we entered
the big drive which was made so
sucee ssfully under the leader
ship of General Pershing and
which you no doubt read about in
your home papers. We had the
Huns on the run, and while it
was no picnic for US, thousands
of German prisoners were taken
and vast quantities of munitions
and army supplies. | was in it
for four days and three nights,
and came through without a
scratch, vet | had some very
close calls. A high explosive
shell dropped within few feet
of me, and failed to explode,
which saved spelling the shell
and left me to tell about it. When
| saw it drop, You may be sure
| felt that it was all up with me.
| should be content if the war
would be over before | need to 90
over the top again. It's risky.
| will tell you more about it when
get home.
| am now back of the lines
resting; and believe me, we need
it.
For about two weeks we got
little chance to sleep. 1t is very
stormy heresnow; we have rain
almost every day. | rather
dread the coming winter. It
looks now like we might not have
to do much more hard fighting,
for | do not think the Huns will
hold together much longer.
We do get plenty to eat and
good rations; while we were on
the drive, our meals were a little

From the Pha, North American, Oct, 20,
Opponents of Congressman
Benny" Focht. who would like
to see him defeated, are not at
all pleased with the selection
made by the Democratic state
committees executive committee
and they say that Senator Scott
Leiby would be little improve
ment on Focht, so far as rep
resentation at Washington is con-
cerned.
Senator Leiby is one Of the
most faithful of the Palmer
Mccormick me to" Democrats.
He is belled, so that the Palmer
Mccormick state committee and
Secretary Warren Van Dyke can
locate him at any time. If he
were TO 90 to Washington he
would likely be every bit as
easily handled as tho he were
from the cotton belt, but
wouldn't be able 10 get nearly so
much for his CONTINGENCY as the
cotton belt statesmen.
AS a State Senator -Leiby's
chief claims to distinction lay in
the fact that he voted dry when
occasion aross to vote wet or
dry and that he was one of the
very few Mccormick Palmer
Democrats in the Senate. He
b began his campaign against
Focht a couple of weeks ago by
declaring that Focht h a d no
patriotic record. To this Focht
restored that Keiby seems to have
no military medals and that the
army is in need of men such as
Leiby asserts he is. Focht
suggested that Leiby enlist.
Leiby had no reply to make, at
least not in the paid advertise
ments.
Leiby lives in Marysville and
makes qis living in Harrisburg,
where he practices law. He will
probably serve in the Legislature
during the coming session in
stead of going to Congress.

GER IAN ATROCITIES CONTINUE.
Why Are They Not St ppsd II Ger.
many Really Wants Peace.

1t is extremely difficult to
understand why, if Germany in
asking for an armlstice, really
desires to end the horrors OF
war and to tread the paths of
peace, order and decency, she
dees not cali a halt to the out
rageous atrocities which b er
military aud naval forces have
been so ruthlessly committing
ever since the first day OF the
war, and which, according to the
latest dispatches, they are still
carrying on during their en-.
forced retreat from occupied
cities in France and Belgium.
la this connection Jules Cam
oon, for merly French Am bassa-
dor at Washington, is quoted as
follows:
"At the moment the Central
Empires address themselves to
President Wilson to- obtain al
armlstice and begin negotla
lions for peace, the German
armies renew the horrors they
have been com hitting IN all the
occupied territory. st. Quentin,
Lens, Cam bral, Douai are burn
ed, mined, ruined. Laon IS now
reported to be burning, following
the same fate as Doual and
Cambral. st Quentin is mass
Of ruins, and the great mining
center of Lens Is a desert, with
lts buildings leveled. Its popula
Clon gone, and its rich mines
Hooded. The whole section sur
rounding st. Quentin has been
turned into vast cemetery. The
cathedral is still standing, It's
jlgged walls beng intact, but
all else a wreck. The principal
street center resembles an aban.
doned battlef eld.
The National C)m mittee on
War Damages sums up the
devastation as follows: "De
spite the reprobatlon Of the
world, the German war practices
are constantly being accentuated
and intensified. Tnese odious
proceedings have transformed
hostlltles into abominable
brlgandage, seeking above all the
rum OF agriculture, industry,
and commerce in this country"
Premier Clemenceau makes
the following statement regard
ing these German outrages;
"All international conventions
which MAINTAIN In armed con-
ncts traditions of loyalty and
nobility have been cynlcaIly
swep pt aside by Germany. Taken
by the throat and driven back
ward, he still seeks to vent his
hate upon the country from
which our soldiers drive HIM foot

The Passing of Huntism

The Gazette has no desire to
crow over the defeat of Huntism.
We do not wish to blow whistles
nor organize brass band parades
over his demise. But we wish
to congratulate the women and
men of Arizona who brought
about this defeat. The passing
of Hunt means that the state
will not longer be ruled by the
agitator and the spendthrift.
The waste Of the peoples money
is beyond expression.
AS soon as the new governor
takes office he should at once
appoint a board of competent
men to make a thorough survey
of all state institutions and works
with the one idea of Topping off
every unnecessary cent of ex-
pense. There are hundreds of
people on the pay rolls Of the
state who are in no way needed
for the conduct of the states
affairs.
The new addition to the capi-
tol is only rat hole wherein the
peoples money is being poured.
The work on the structure
should be discontinued until the
construction can be let by con-
tract. If the business of the
state were conducted along busi-
ness lines there would be no ne
cessity for the addition to the
capitol. This extra building was
intended merely to maintain a
brazen. spendthrift political ma
chine.
Today in Arizona there are
not 25. 900 more people than when
statehood was granted. Yet the
state government is costing $25
under Hunt where the territorial
government cost one dollar.
Practically every commission, as
inaugurated by Hunt, is for no
purpose but to spend money and
to build up his political machine.
The commission on state institu-
tions simply burns up the peo-
ple's money with its wasteful
expenditures.
The Gazette is truly happy to
be able to congratulate the wo-
men and men of Arizona, who
brought about the downfall of
Huntism. Arizona Gazette.

every one of you my grateful appre-
citation for everything that was done

home, and l want nothing but the good

judge of your county l have endeavored
to conduct the affairs of my Office in
such manner that when l retire to pri-
vate life on Jan. 1st, can do so with a

will toward all.

have no criticism nor i'll will, believing
it their right to vote for the man of
their choice.
