Of all, he was grounded properly in
school. Born in Daviess county, In

county; afterward finishing with
course in the Stats Normal school at
Terre Haute. In 1882, 1883, and 1884,
he was employed by the United
States in survey of the Mississippi
river, from Cairo to New Orleans.
Returning to Indiana he took up his
law books, which he had dropped

DIR CoNNELLY's WAR RECORD

Which is the safer test to apply to
Mr.. Connelly's War record.-His
souvenirs which he collected on a
Junketing trip to the War zone or his
votes upon important war measures
as member of congress?
On March %, 1915. he voted apaist
the request of the President for
authority to increase the regular
army to 100000.
On May 8, 1915 he voted against
the Presidents request for authority
TO increase the regular army to ESQ.,
600.
On May 8, 1915, he voted against
the Presidents request for author
ity to maintain and train a volunteer
reserve army.
On June 2, 1916, he voted against
the Naval appropriation bill urged by
the President.
On April 5, 1917. he voted against
the resolution to declare a state of
war existing between the u. S. and
the German Imperial Government
which resolution was offered in ra-
sponse to the Presidents special mes
sage to congress.
In face of such record should the
voters of the 9Th district be misled
by the Presidents partisan appeal to
re-eIect a Democratic congress in or-
der to support the war?

REPUBLICANS WAKE UP. /!

Republican voters in the sixth dis
trict want to be very much awake
when it comes to voting for congress-
man at the general election next
Tuesday Republicans how are you
going to meet President Wilson's re-
cent challenge when he ceases to be
a president and becomes rank part
isan, when he asks the voters of the
country to make a solid Democratic
congress barring out all Republicans.
Republicans can only meet this chal-
1enge in one way, not merely as rep
resentatives of a great party but as
red-blooded loyal Americans. The
president admits somewhat grudg-
ingly that Republicans have support
ed the war measures under his ad-
ministration more freely and more
loyalty than the Democrats and yet
despite this fact he wants a solid
Democratic congress. The RepubIi-
can party has never in its history re-
ceived such an open insult or more
ungracious rebuff at the hand of the
chief executive of the United States
and it is time to answer back in no
uncertain tone and to prove the true
worth of Republican principles by
electing Republican congressmen
from every district. in the state.
Remember Republican voters you
have furnished just as many sons to
go over seas to help President Will
son win the war on the bloody bat
tie fields of Europe as your Demo-
cratic voters have done and have
bought as many Liberty bonds and
subscribed as freely to Red Cross and
Y. M. C. A. and other things to help
bring the war to victorious close as
he may also have done, so why is not
a Republican congressman as desir-
BILE IN congress to help settle these
great questions of such tremendous
moment to the American people as a
Democratic one- Remember your
duty then Republicans and see that a
Republican congressman goes from
this district. President Wilson will
need all of the good sound judgment
OF the Republicans in congress be-
fore he is through with this great
war question that is causing Amer
lea so much anxiety and his egotisti-
cal bigotry should receive such a
back-set by a big return of Republi-
can congressman that he will set up
and take notice. Republicans don't
fail to stand pat.

We note that one enthusiastic Sixth
district postmaster editor dwells on
the fact that while Hays B. White is
campaigning for election John r.
Connolly is sticking to his post at
Washington and spending all his
time saving the country. He forgets
that few weeks ago in critical
time John R. Connolly was off to
Europe on junketirfg trip at the
expense of the taxpayers and 1eav-
ing his beloved country to shift for
itself. That trip was all right, of
course, just as the campaigning ~
Hays B. White is all right. It mere
ly shows how the postmaster editors
are grasping at straws.-Osborne

DICTAGRAMS

Don't forget that there is a general
election to be held next Tuesday, No
vember5, 1918. It is an important
election and every voter is duty bound
to attend and discharge his debt to
himself and the public. In Kansas we
are electing a full set of State Off
GERS, a full delegation of congress-
man and United States Senator,
and two judges of the supreme court.
In our district we must elect Judge
of the district court and there are
county and township officers to be
chosen all over the state, as well as
two constitutional amendments to be
adopted or rejected. The election of
senator, Or congressman, alone should
bripg opt full vote. The privilege Of
S0ting carries with it duty and OBJ
legation and the voter who persistent
ly fails to perform his duty and dis
charge his obligation, should be dis
franchised.
Beware of the deceptive slogan and
other political camouflage and do not
be misled by it. Remember how stHe
kept US out of the war" two years
ago, and don't be fooled again. It is
not necessary for a Republican to
split his ticket or adjourn" his pol
itics in order to "Help Wilson win
the war" In fact the president is
getting his best and most consistent
help from the Republicans in con-
gress. And they are helping to win
the war, not as party men, but as
good Americans and without any
thought of making political capital
out of their war work. Everybody
knows that politics has not been adj
journed in Washington. Everybody
knows that a price has been fixed on
Republican wheat but Democratic
cotton is allowed to go soaring, sky
high, and the higher the better, ap-
parently, and it is fast becoming a
matter of history that Wilson is the
most strongly partisan president the
country has had since the days of
Andrew Jackson and "to the victors
belong the spoils.n Politics adjourn
ed! 1t is the thinnest dope ever
spread to catch the support of the
feeble minded!
Aside from his intense partisanship
and his penehant for playing pol
itics and few minor faults the pres
ident is all right and we are with
him to the finish. One of those minor
faults is he talks too much. Gust like
some of us common plugs.) Any or
binary section hand could have told
Kaiser Bill where to head in without
using more than three short, mon
osyllabic words, and two words, some
what longer, would have been a suf-
ficiently lengthy message for the
whole German empire. Woodrow is
wasting a whole lot of first class dig
nifty on the bloody brutes. The de-
testable ours are undeserving of de-
cent words and the lying scoundrels
have the contemplate effrontery to
talk about a peace compatible with
| the honor of the German government

of the murders of Edith Cave1l and

PURCELL HAS GROWN UP WITH
WESTERN KANSAS
Brought Up in School of Hard
Knocks. He Has Sterling Worth
in Life and Character

Isaac T. Purcell, of Wa-Keeney,
who has been nominated by the Re-
publicans for judge of the Twenty
third judicial district, settled in Cove
county when that region of Kansas
was on the frontier of civilization.
Taking a homestead near Grainfield,
he lived on it the full five years of
the statute, until finally he obtained
a patent for it. This was in 1885, and
in his relations with the people he
probably has formed the acquain-
tainces of all men and women, who
have come there since. Indeed, be-
fore he settled in Cove county, he had
in 1876, spent brief period in Ellis
worth county. Ike Purcell has been a
factor to be reckoned with in the
settlement of the northwestern
counties of the state.
A HOmesteader Himself
In 1897. he was appointed to be
register of the United States land
Office, serving until the Wa-Keeney
district was abolished, and during his
tenure, by his duties, he made the
acquaintance of every homesteader,
including earlier settlers who came
before him to "prove up" Having
been homsteader himself, and a man
of vast human sympathy, he at once
became the guide, philosopher, and
friend of all settlers, continuing the

 "Of course, we'll have to have con crete roads, but the business can pro duce the money to build them. There are some economics in distribution of produce that are simply amazing. It has added an entirely new factor to transcontinental transportation, and we shall just begin finding it out when more extensive operation goes into eff feet during the next two years"
 Just why NIT. Blakslee sees it that way can be understood from just one commodity price list.

Naturally the trucks are being weighed down with 5-gallon cans as consumers learn of the possibility. The trucks tap milk-producing terri tory that outside milk-producing terri lines. and off the rail arteries.

CROSS COUNTRY MAIL DELIVERY BY TRUCK
 PROVES. SUCCESSFUL
COVE VERNM ENT EXPERIMENTS MEET WITH SUCCESS WHICH IS GRATIFYING TO PosToFFIcE
 DEPARTMENT AND ARE sUB- JEcT TO FURTHER EXPANSION

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. - Cross country operation of mail carrying motor trucks, tried out by the post office department on an experimental but nevertheless big scale during the last year, has been a great success. James I. Blakslee, fourth assistant postmaster general, has found that one truck route between Philadelphia and Washington, cutting chiefly through territory without direct rail connection and costing $500 a month to operate, has in eight months de- veloped a revenue of s16,000 monthly. Another route, into Washington. where 2S parcels a day were moved during the first month, now shows one ton of traffic each way each 24 hours.
 Seventy lines now operate over the country, all but one east of the Mis- sissippi, and there are visions of a system which will furnish s360,000.- GOO annually in revenue for road con struction or other purposes.
 ''Why, Gen .Pershing has 5000 trucks damaged or ruined over on the other side" said Mir Blakslee. telling of the growth of the system. q don't care what condition they are in. We want them all. and can fix up and put every one of them to work. Whats even more important he's got some boys over there shy hand, or an arm, or leg, and we can use them all, too, in good work at good pay, that they can do. Congress gave us s300,000 to work with. and if We had the earn ings of the lines themselves, we could expand almost indefinitely. As it is. s9,000,000 will be requested by the division for next year, and I think it will be appropriated. People realize what we are doing.
 Operating at night is the most prof--ble. and we have but two ma chimes doing that, out of New York. The typical route is about 1S0 miles long. 90 miles out, and 90 miles back.
 Almost always the constant opera ton of the lines produces a return load. the universal character of the mail service allowing almost anything to be taken. The mail trucks go. come rain, storm. or anything, and SO the traffic develops. Rates are also pretty high, the lowest being about

Belgium
 SdUed Us
And Now We Must Save Belgium by Saving
 Her Babies

The commission for relief in Belgium commonly called C. R. B. is the or ganization credited by Herbert C Hoover, in 1914. shortly. after the outbreak of the war, for the purpose of acting as a medium between the German imperial government, Great Britain, France and Belgium. so that the people of that portion of Belgium and northern France, within its lines of the German army could receive food and clothing supplies from the outside world
 Before the entrance of the United States into the war it had sole charge of the distribution of fOOdstuffs, clothing and other relief supplies in the occupied territory.
 When the United States entered the war it was necessary for the American delegates who heretofore had been within the occupied territory to depart therefrom as they were then of course within the enemys lines and their places were taken by dele gates selected by the Dutch and Spanish ministers.
 The American commission, however, has still continued to function out side of the occupied territories. It still purchases supplies, arranging for their transportation to Rotterdam and de- livers them at the Belgium border to the Dutch and Spanish delegates in Belgium.
 Mme. Horta, an authorized Belgian woman, travelling at her own expense, has organized the "C. R. B.'s" in Ari- zona. She was here in Bisbee bue owing to the quarantine, could not de- liver her stereopticon lecture upon the terrible war conditions in the oc- cupied territory.
 Mrs. E. E. Ellinwood is chairman of the work in Bisbee. Mrs. T. A. Hughes. secretary, and Mrs. G. H. Dowell, treasurer, and the following ladies constitute an executive commit tee: Mrs. U. c. Bledsoe, Mrs. G. A. Brige, Mrs. w L. Butler, Mrs. Frank Duval, Miss W. Duffy, Mme. Fenchere, Mrs. Sam Frankenburg, Mrs. w R. Gohring, Mrs. A. Houle, Mrs. c. H. Hunt, Mrs. F. c. Hurst, Mrs. M. P.
