Willard b. Rariden.

St. Francois county, from her abund-
ant resources, has two candidates to
present for the Democratic nominal
ton for State Senator from the TWEEN
ty-sixth District. However, the race
will be between these two for the
nomination, there being no other NOM
nations filed for that office. Some of
the many friends of Willard B. Rari-
den filed his name for that nomina-
ton, so that he has, in a measure at
least, been forced into the running,
and few men will go further for his
friends than will Willard Rariden.
Mr.. Rariden was born in st. Fran
co.'s county, where he has ever con-
tinued to reside. He has always been
unusually active for those things
which are for the good and upbuilding
| of community, always willing and
readyt to 20 his full length, at, any and
all times, for friend; or for what he
considered to be right. For four
years he was sheriff of St. Francois
county, and during President Cleve-
lands first term he served as post
master of Pennington.
Willard expects to make an active
campaign for the nomination, and his
many and influential friends in each
and every county in the district will
insure him splendid showing on
August 9th. He is an experienced and
successful farmer and stockman, hav-
ing for many years past bought stock
Throughout this southeast country,
Wherever he has gone he has made
many friends, who will be pleased to
support Linn In this race. That he
will receive generous vote in each
of the five counties of Jefferson,
Madison, Perry, Ste. Cenevieve and
St. Francois, which make up the,
Twenty-sixth Senatorial District,
there is no reason to doubt.

The Times is pleased this week to
present the name of Henry H. Rinke,
of Flat River, who is a candidate for
the nomination. f Presiding Judge of
the County Court on the Republican
eicket. Especially pleasing is the
presentment to The Times, as it is
the first this paper has been asked
to make under its present manage
ment. While we believe that il
is perfectly right and proper for
candidates to make their announce
ment in papers of opposite politi-
cal faith, such announcements must
come to us as all other an
nouncements, entirely unsolicited, as
we consider it entirely beneath the
dignity of reputable newspaper to
solicit announcements from candi-
dates. The Times is pleased tn bs
able to commend Mr. Rinke as high
class business man, leading hard
ware dealer and undertaken of the live
city of Flat River. He is always in the
forefront of activities when it comes
TO ANYTHING that promises for the good
of his home community. He has long
been recognized las leader in Red
Cross and Civic League work, and his
prestige is great. He was mayor. OF

HON. A. T. BREWSTER
FOR CONGRESS

This week The Times is pleased to
present the name of Hon. Arthur T.
Brewster, of Ironton, Iron county, as
a candidate for Congress from the
Thirteenth Congressional District.
Mr.. Brewster has an extensive &C
quaintance throughout all the coun-
ties comprising the Thirteenth Dis
trict, having a large law practice in
most of the district. He is a splendid
mixer-just one of the plain people
and his host of friends are proud of
his acquaintance. No man is more
approachable than is Mr.. Brewster,
and we doubt if there is another man
in the district who is better acquaint-
ed with til? whole people whom he de-
sires to represent in Congress, or who
knows more about their individual
circumstances and desires than does
Mr.. Brewster. At the same time
there is not man who would be more
willing or DESTROYS of bringing to such
constituency complete fruition of
their desires.
As an indication of the exceeding
confidence Of the people in his ability
to render them conscientious and
faithful service should he be honored
with the position he is now seeking,
a resolution Of endorsement of his
candidacy for Congress was passed at
a meeting of representative Demo-
Gratis of Reynolds county at Center
vile on. May goth. Such resolutions
strongly endorse him for seat in the
National Congress, as a man in ev-
cry way worthy Of the honor, and of
his being a 100 per cent American
citizen, who could always be depend
ed upon and relied upon in any stu
alton that could possibly arise in this
time of greatest stress. The Rey-
nolds county resolutions endorsing
Mr.. Brewster are not only strong, but
timely, and will be splendid asset
to him in the campaign that is just
now opening. -

FOR STATE SENATOR:
John Henry Tetley. Z

.g~ 81 lI. ss =
A man peculiarly fitted for the.
position has consented to make the
race for the Democratic nomination
for State Senator in this, the Twenty
Sixth Senatorial District. We refer
to John Henry Tetley, whose an
nouncement appears in The Times
this week. There is no man in the
district whom the Democrats could
nominate who would make a stronger
candidate or better fill the important
position of State Senator.
Mr.. Tetley has always been an ae-
tive Democrat, but he has been more
"a sterling public-spirited citizen,
actively interested in and an enthu-
siastic worker for every movement
for the betterment of society. In the
present situation, when the energy
and loyalty of every patriot is de-
manded to push the war for human
ity and for world freedom from
Prussian militarism and ruthless hell
ishness, he has been one of the most
tireless workers in the Liberty Loan,
the Red Cross and Y. M. c. A. Drives,
canvassing the county, delivering tell
ing speeches, leaving his business and
gong whenever and wherever he has
been called, and the calls upon him
have been many. 1t is the loyal
work of such 100 per cent Americans
as he that has helped st. Francois,
county go cover the top" so hand
somely in all these necessary war
measures. We need such men as he
in the State Senate and other public
positions at this time.
John Henry Tetley was born in
Ironton October l, 1868, and came to
Pennington with his parents when
five years of age. He has lived here
and in this county ever since, except.
ten years spent in Frederiektown. He
has been in the jewelry business, in
which he is now engaged, during the
greater part of his manhood, though
for several years he was station agent
and telegraph opel ator for the Iron
Mountain railroad. He is fluent and
ready speaker, popular with the peo-
pie, democratic in spirit and associa-
ton, and would make whirlwind and
successful campaign.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1918-06-07

persuaded him to announce for that
office. He is practical and success
full farmer, as well as a splendid auc-
tioneer, and his entire training has
been calculated to make him an adept
in fixing values on personal property
as well as real estate. For the past
five years he has been deputy Assess
or under Lawrence Wells, and is still
serving in that capacity under Mrs.
Wells. The work he has ,raturuedI in
that position .is perhaps the 1 strong,
cst recommsndatidn at Msa ability IA

His friends will be pleased this week
y TO find in The Times announcement
column the name of Nathan A. Zim-
norman, of st. Francois, as candi-
date for the Office of Presiding Judge
of the County Court, subject to the
decision of the Democratic voters at
the Nominating Primary, to be held
on August 9Th. "Uncie Nath" is en-
gagged in general merchandising at
st. Francois, and has more than
enough business to keep him busy
far past working hours each day. But
he has listened to his friends, who
contend that they must have him to
head the County Court. They con-
tend that a little more hired help will
make up for the few, days each month
he will have to devote to county af-
fairs. "Uncle Nath" is an old-time
Democrat-one Of those who is always
ready and willing to neglect personal
affairs to look after party matters.
While we believe this is perhaps his
first effort to secure an elective office,
he has spent a large part of his life
serving on Congressional, Senatorial
and County Central Committees.

Practically everyone knows NJ. A.

The latest reports coming from the
battle front in France indicate con-
siderable Frightening of the prospects
of the Allies. The Huns appear to
have spent their reserve strength in
the great drive, and are being
steadily repulsed or driven back by
the Allied forces. And, better still,
Uncle Sans boys are coming in for
the majo' portion of praise for such
heroic work. When a million or two
American boys cali be landed over

the dastardly Huns and fix them up
