When the "fall guy" is toppled off

Sometimes it isn't true at all and
they say it is just because it is the
habit of the pack to bite the member
that gets knocked out and is useless.
But a great many times it is true.
When they say of Kaiser Bill-as

Its cinch that the democratic con-
gressman who voted for the war and
were defeated for reelection received
darned few pro-German votes. II
may be that the "peepul" wanted the
country's affairs to be in good anc
safe hands during the construction
period, as given for the reason of the
republican congressional victory BY
that party's press, but there may be
other reasons too. The democrats
also received blamed few capitalists
votes. These are the same ginks who

seeking flags none to be had and long
before the stores opened, along comes
several officials of the central body
and secured several hundred Amer
lean flags from Trades Council hall
and distributed them among the cele-
orators. They went a long way to-

parade by labor in the morning and

Election Echoes

of county officials and listening, any
one with fair hearing might hear the
rumbling ,of a warning that will be
we'll for the politicians and officials
to give heed to. The vote of the
county, outside Hamilton and Middle
town, which gave some of the repub-
lican candidates majorities of from
400 to 500 shows that our country
cousins and the rural dwellers are
keeping their ears close to the ground
politically and with affairs that touch
their pocket books, via the tax route.
Then there's another thing, take
the county as a whole Governor
Cox received a majority of more than
5000 while some of the democratic
candidates on the county ticket re-
ceived as small as 1000 majority.
What does this mean? Simply this,
that whether there was any wrong
doing in county affairs or not, it is
easy to get the voter off his party bal
lot when he once becomes suspicious.
Viewed from neutral standpoint the

situation is very satisfactory. Small
majorities in local elections has
tendency to cause administering Of

predict that much good is going to
come out of the late election for
Butler County.

Don't know how soon we are GO

big guns roar in the far distance
and the airships hum above the
clouds, so high up that they look
like birds.
We are hoping that this war will
come to an end soon.
The clothing we get now is all Of
wool and each person gets 3 heavy
blankets, which makes it very
warm.
The people here all wear wooden
shoes; it looks odd at first but we

Speeder Leaves Track
fh1rsday Last week, Resulting In Ser.
i0us Injury TO George Thomas

George Thomas, the telephone
kneman on the Milwaukee road,
who was seriously injured Thurs
day of last week, and who has been
in the hospital at Aberdeen since,
has been in a serious condition most
Of the time. Mrs. Thomas has
been with him during the week,
but the reports sent down have not
been as favorable as could be de-
sired, fracture of the skull is one
Of the injuries received. In his
conscious moments when resting he
spoke Of having jumped when the
speeder left the track, and the cut
on the head back Of the right ear,
is where he struck the projecting
side of the rail. Mr.. w. M. Thom-
as visited the scene Of the accident,
which was couple of miles east
of Ortonvile and saw where the
sp aeder had left the rails and turn
ed over, at right angles to the
track. and just beyond was where
George lay, as there were indica-
tions of great loss of blood where
he had lain for over an hour when
discovered by the section men lying
unconscious. The discovery was
timely as shortly after freight
train came laundering along.
The speeder which the linemen
rdie in to their work, has the en-
gine on one side, and with the
weight of the driver on the same
side. it does not take q great deal
to throw the light side from hte
rails, and this is probably what
happened with Mr.. Thomas. Be-
ing q man Of heavy weight the
force of the fall or jump when the
machine turned was pretty sure to
cause serious injuries.
Word was received Thursday af-
ternoon that MIR. Thomas was con-
siderably improved. and had been
able to be on his feet for q short
time.

the third district escaped the tidal
wave, but Royal johnson in this

dicate that republicans have been
pretty generally victorious. In
Minnesota Burnquist has been re-
elected governor and Van Lear, the

the demo ratio candidate for gov
ernor in North Dakota against Fra
zier, the non-partisan candidate
masquerading as a republican. but
the odds were too great against
him.
In the national election for the
