WILCOX FOR GOVERNOR

We shall support Senator Roy
p. Wilcox for Governor because
we believe he better represents the
principls for which we stand than
any other candidate now in the
field. On the great questions Of the
day his record is an open book /;
from the stump he has given album
dant expressions to vouch for his
unqualified loyalty to the state
and nation. He favors extending
the right to vote to women equally
with men and on the liquor ques-
ton he is willing to submit it by
referendum to the people of the
state for final decision.
Upon those questions that affect
the Coloredapeople peculiarly, he
has always stood with the right

races, and by his voice and vote
contributed toward its defeat. In
personal conversation with the
writer he has very forcefully de-
clared himself for fair and just
treatment toward the Negro. In
his platform recently issued over
his name he declares that if elect
ed governor, no appointment will
be made by me on political, social,
racial, religious or any other
ground, except that Of securing
the utmost Of ability, character
and service for the state. p"
We believe that if elected he
will give to the State Of Wisconsin
a most excellent administration,
and to all the people, regardless
Of race or other affiliation, fair,
just and equal treatment. For
these reasons we shall support
him to the utmost Of our powers.

put your ideals 50 high that the

A BIG DAY-SATURDAY.

The News would not overestimate,
either in Importance, number of
people attending, or the possibility
OF selling bonds, the day that is to
be observed here-Saturday. The
natural instincts of an American
tend toward patriotism and we are
all Americans. Let it be said in the
beginning that the purpose of the
celebration is not to pry loose money
from any individual, but to show
him who procrastinates the evil OF
his way. The purpose of the meet
ing is to set in motion human ma
chinery to conduct a campaign to
enlighten the people as to conditions
which face the nation you love so
well, the necessity of buying Liberty
bonds in order that your govern
ment may have the wherewithal to
equip the men who are fighting to
preserve your home and your liberty.
and the home and liberty OF your
neighbor and your neighbor's neigh
Dor.
This is plain talk, but it is facts.
America and her associates in the
war are not fighting for moneytary
gain or for the acquisition Of terri
tory, but for freedom for the peo-
pies of the world. They must win!
Should they fail, America as a ma
tion, American ideals will be des-
troyed, and, therefore, it is fight
for life or death that we are in.
Thus is the necessity for Liberty
bonds.
The News could not gamble, were
it Of gambling inclination, on the
weather for Saturday. Let us hope
1t will be favorable. Certainly this
spell of cold and rain cannot last for
ever. 1t will pass. and again let us
hope, before Saturday, when all of
Lancaster county is a-coming to
town. Let us believe that the wealth
or will be favorable; let us say that
It will be, and remember that tho
official representations are no more
guaranteed than our own.
The day is going to be a big one,
holiday. The stores will be clos |
I'd from 10 to four; there will be |
prominent speakers, men who will !
lot only say things about your gov
srnment and about Liberty bonds /
hat you ought to know, but who are |
rood speakers and you will be glad
o hear them. 1t is going to be the !
lay that we tell the Kaiser he cam
lot come over here and set up a do
ninion, putting the red d-blooded men
If this nation under his bondage.
But that is what will be unless we
Jack up the government and furnish
he men and money necessary to win
he war.

OF COUNTY
GET RAIN
Minco Favored with Old Time
Gully Washer" of Three Inch
es; Pocasset Gets Shower;
Southern Grady Lucky.

In certain localities of Grady
county, one of the most disastrous
drouths that has ever been known
here was broken last night when j.
Pluvius tilted the sprinkling can
and treated the parched earth to a
more or less extensive and thorough
soaking
According to reports reaching here
early today, the favored sections were
the northern end of the county and
the southern section, with wide
strip in the center where marry a
drop fell. At Minco, the drouth was
not only broken but was busted wide
open with an old-fashioned gully
washer of fully three inches, Ira
Johnson, county commissioners, stated
today.
This rain, according to the best
reports Mr.. Johnson could get be-
fore leaving Minco this morning, ex-
tended over a strip possibly six
miles wide, Minco being a little west
of the center of the favored strip.
The rain extended as far south as
Pocasset and north across the coun-
ty line into Canadian county. At El
Reno a good rain was reported.
"The rain will help pastures a
great deal" said Mr. Johnson. ut
will put a season in the ground
that will stimulate the planting of
wheat, but it possibly came too late
to do the crops in general any mater
ial good. The rain at Pocasset was
not so heavy as at Minco, and a lit
tie south of Pocasset there was no
rain"
Reports coming this morning from
the Kechi neighborhood, southwest
of Chickasha, stated that a fairly
good rain fell there 1t is also re-
ported that Rush Springs and as far
north as Ninnekah was favored with
a comparatively good rain. West of
Chickasha as far as Anadarko no
rain was reported.
In the Chickasha section proper no
rain fell and the only compensation
derived, was a decidedly cooler at
this morning, all of which
is considerable to be thankful for.

PEACE ON EARTH. GOOD WILL
TO MEN"

sIn the Christian nations of the
world the twenty-fifth of December
is celebrated in memory Of the birth
of Christ. By custom it is also OBJ
served as a day for special gifts,
greetings and hospitality. Churches
still make an effort to keep up the
spirit of the institution, while the
secular world is inclined to make of it
more a day of feasting than fasting.
Tho in very truth an ample Christmas
dinner is inseparable from the day in
all households. Just when and where
this custom became part of the days
observance we have no object in dis
cussing.
1t is the custom all over our coun-
try for families, friends and neigh
bors to meet around the Christmas
cheer and indulge in social inter
course And while there is now, and
always is, more to gladden. than sad
den, we can not omit the observation
that in thousands of homes all over
this land the customary mirth will be
subdued by the reflection that, due to
the war, some familiar faces are alb
sent and will never more meet and
greet friends at Christmas time. This
fact should make those of us who have
no cause for sadness, to tone our mirth
for brief moment in sympathy for
those who are less fortunate.
Altogether, coming on the heels, and
end, of the greatest and most unhu-
man war ever waged by people call
ing themselves human beings, but for
tunately subdued by the righteous
powers of this world, and we hope
made harmless for all time, there is
profound cause for a merry, mirthful
Christmas spirit next Wednesday.
