nomination for presiding judge OF the

many years been resident OF the

esteem OF his neighbors and friends
to marked degree. He is Sue
cessful farmer and stock raiser and
if elected will give the affairs of the
county the same painstaking care
that he would his own business. He
has lived in the county long enough
to know the needs of every part of it.
He is big enough man to do what
he believes to be right at all times.
He is conservative in business mat
tiers but will not be penny wise and
pound foolish. If the Democrats
should nominate Mr.. Griffin they
would have nothing to explain or en-
cuSe.

RE.CLASSIFICATION NOT TO
AFFECT BATES COUNTY
Bates County's Classification One of
Few in State Which Falls
Within Government
Percentages.

The order for a re-classification OF
registrants issued by Provost Mar
shall General Crowder will not affect
Bates county except in few indi-
vidual cases, the classification here
falling between the percentages ac-
cepted by the government of be-
tween 49, per cent and IS per cent OF
the registrants being in Class l.
The government has taken as a
basis for classification the national
average of 28.7 per cent of the total
registration falling in Class l; 49,
per cent being regarded as the mimi
mum and IS per cent being regarded
as the maximum.
According to a telegram from Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder, a
copy of which has been received
here by the Local Exemption Board,
Bates county is one of the very few
counties in the state in which the
classification is regarded by the gov
ernment as having been correctly
made and therefore one of the very
few in which a complete re-classifi-
cation will not be necessary.
General Crowder's telegram says
in part:
"You will therefore, after having
taken such preliminary steps as may
be necessary to insure immediate
active and hearty cooperation on the
part of government appeal agents
and members of legal advisory
boards. issue instructions that they
shall Immediately proceed to a care
full examination of all the Question
naires and Records in the classes of
cases hereinafter indicated and make
such recommendation to the Local
Boards as they may deem necessary
in all cases IN which they are salts
fled recIassification should be made.
