IMPORTANT ELECTION.

At this time it is natural that our
thoughts should turn to the "fu"
epidemic, to the war and to ques-
tions of peace and peace terms; but
we should not overlook that we are
approaching a very important cleo
ton. Within the not distant fu-
ture, there will be presented to the
Senate of the United States, for its
approval, treaty of peace between
Germany and the United States.
This treaty will have>bee prepared
by that great leader, Woodrow Will
son. If Governor Stanley is then
our Senator, no one doubts that he
will vote to uphold the President.
And upon other war questions and
also upon domestic questions, many
OF which will arise after the war is
over. no one doubts that Governor
Stanley will hold up the hands of
the President. This being true, the
voters OF this and other counties of
the State shuld lay aside minor
differences and, looking to the larg-
er questions which will come before
the next Senate, vote for our Dem
ocratic nominee.
In the Congressional race, there
can hardly be two opinions as to
the comparative fitness of the two
candidates. Mr.. Johnson, our dem
ocratic nominee, has stood by the
President and for the successful
prosecution OF the war. He is an
experienced legislator, who has
faithfully represented the people OF
the Fourth District. Upon his re-
cord, he is entitled to the support of
the voters of this District. regard

To the public in general and to

these times of peril and privation,
when on account Of the epidemic
which is raging in our community
we are deprived of our regular Sab
bath worship and the social inter-
course that goes with it and when
there is so much of suffering and
sorrow all around us it becomes us
to be very thoughtful of the inter
ests of each other and in every way
by word and deed comfort those who
are in distress. have thought
good therefore to call upon each
and all of you to supply your lack of
public devotion with private
personal approach to the Throne of
Divine grace, asking the Fathers
blessing and that his healing hand
may be laid on our land and coun-
try and that SO far as it is consist
ent with. his will and the best inter-
ests of those who trust in him to
shield them from the hand of the
enemy and the destroyer. And in
the times of their deep sorrow and
privation should they come to grant
them grace for their time and need.
Praying earnestly for the health of
you and yours both in body and soul
| beg to remain
Yours truly,
