ton" as far as every department is
concerned.
Its greatest aid will lie in encour-
agement of food raising and food
saving Stupendous exhibits of live
stock, farm products, children's con-
test work. and machinery will fea-
ture this part of the Fair. Nothing
of the kind, as planned, has ever
been staged anywhere in America.
But the greatest thing of interest
to all the people of the Northwest
will be the gigantic exhibit of war
relics, great guns and every kind of
instrument used in the waging of
war in Europe Combat planes, and
all kinds of paraphernalia used by
the aviation department, will also be
exhibited. The Federal Government,
for the first time in history, is COM
ing to the State Fair with a wonder
full exhibit, demonstrating the work
of practically all the leading depart
ments at Washington in the prosecu-
ton of the war.
1t is believed that the Northwest
is so interested in the War for Demo-
cracy, which the Fair is assisting to
such a degree, that the attendance
record of 100000, established last
year, will be shattered by wide mar

OTHER WOUNDED

Robert S. Dare, son OF Mr.. and Mrs
W. Frank Dare, Of No. 4O6 Poplar
street, a victim Of the Huns air at
tack on an American Red Cross hos
pital near Paris, on July i5, arrived In
this country on Sunday and Is now In
the Reed Hospital, Washington. As a
result OF his injuries one OF his legs
had TO be amputated above the knee.
with other wounded young Dare ar
rived at Hoboken on Sunday and yes
terday was removed TO the Reed Hos
pital. He wrote his parents a letter
from the hospital near New York In
which he spent a few days, giving
them an account OF the Germans at
tack on the Red Cross hospital. lie
also enclosed a clipping from a news
paper published In the English Ian
guage In Paris, which told Of the cow
ardly attack by the Hun air raiders at
night, although by q test Il was prov
en- that the Red Cross sign could be
seen several thousand feet In the air.
Before leaving Wilmington. on March
OF this year, with a contingent OF
men for Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., Dare was
employed at the Baker Machine Shops,
on French street, and has a large mum
Der OF friends. From OglethOrpe he
was sent TO Allentown. pa, and placed
In the Medical Corps.
In the letter 20 his parents, written
I'm the New York Hospital, Dare said
that on The night OF the raid, July 10,
he was assisting the surgeons In the
American Red Gross Hospital outside Of
Paris. The capacity OF the hospital
was 900, but on that night there were
1900 patients and consequently every
one was unusually busy. While the
surgeons were operating on wounded
soldiers, bombs being dropped by the
air raiders could be heard close TO tho
hospital, and about n O'Clock one
struck the building. lie had gone out
OF the operating room at the request OF
the surgeon, who he was assisting, to
close a door, and It was while he was
out that the bomb struck. He says, al
though injured himself by a piece OF
he was fortunate, as two men
close TO him were Killed. He went to
the operating room himself. and In a
short time his leg was amputated.
Dare stated in his letter that Jim

PARTIES Unite TO
BEAT SOCIALISTS
Republicans and Democrats
Have One Candidate in
Many Districts
PROHIBITIONISTS
LOOK FOR A VICTORY

ALBANY, n. T., Oct. 5.-When the
100000 or more voters OF New York
State 80 10 the polls on November B,
they will have the choice Of voting for
candidates Of at least four political
parties, Republican, Democratic, Prohi-
billion and Socialist. Nevertheless, the
political lineup this year Is remarkable
because Of the agreement In many Of
the districts Of the State between Re
publlcans and Democrats to combine
against the Socialists, and IT Is also
unusual on account OF the many
Democrats and Republicans for local
ONCE whom the Prohlbltionisis have
indorsed.
In seven OF the i3 congressional dis
trlcts I'm the State Republicans and
Democrats have nominated the same
candidate with the evident purpose OF
defeating Socialists or other antl-war
candidates. In three OF the state Senate
districts, two in New York City and
one up State, they have combined for
the same reason. In ~ OF the $50 As
sembly districts, both OF the old parties
have nominated the same candidate.
Twelve Republican candidates and
three Democratic candidates for Con-
gress have been indorsed by Prohibi-
tlonists. Apparently this has been done
20 elect nominees who are I'm favor OF
national prohibition. Seventeen Re
publican candidates and one Democrat
for the State senate have been similar
~ lndorsed. Nominations for the As
sembly also indicate the same desire on
the part OF the Prohibitl0nlsts, who
have indorsed q Republicans and five
Democrats. This unusual number OF
Endorsements by one political party OF
the candidates Of another shows unmis-
takably that the political organizations
desire 10 eliminate pro-German or anti
war candidates on election day and mat
the ProhibitiOnists would add 10 their
strength IN the state Legislature and
especially In the senate. As many or
the wet leaders in The Senate were de-
feated for denomination or were not
candidates in the primaries, II would
appear certain that the Federal Prohi-
bilion Amendment Will be ratified by
the next Legislature.
The candidates upon whom the two
old parties have combined In the con-
gressional districts arc all In New York
City. where most OF the socialistlc or
prof. German vote exists.
The New York State Anti-S9loon
League is supporting Governor Whit
man for recollection because OF what he
did in favor OF antl-liquOr measures In
the Legislature during the last four
years. Il Is opposing Alfred 4. Smith,
Democratic candidate for Governor, be-
cause, according 20 the league, his rec
ord. when a member OF the Assembly
was always against prohibitory meas
ures.
Mr.. Smith has made u plain In his
speeches thus far that he Is against
ratification OF The prohibition amend
ment unless q majority OF the voters OF
the state declare IN referendum that
they favor ratification. This makes the
issue a plain one between the two can
didates. Governor Whitman Is the
Prohibition as well as the Republican
candidate. he having been nominated at
the Prohibition primary September 3.
