oNoNDAGA INDIANS WAR HUN.

The nation of Onondaga Indians
within the larger United States has
declared war on Germany. 1t will not
be an empty declaration. Indians are
in the thick of it already. The latest
declaration against Germany is fine
piece of irony. The Indians are at war
the latter's violation of wars custom
in the treatment of prisoners. Once
upon a time we thought the Indian
could teach the palefaces in the fine
art of cruelty; but we were mistaken.

800 IN NEW COLORADO DRAFT.
Will Entrain for Camp Lewis During
Week of August 26.

A call for 800 Colorado registrants
to the draft army was received Mon
day by Provost Marshal John Evans.
White men qualified for general mill
tary service are wanted. They will
entrain during the five-day period be-
ginning August &c for Camp Lewis,
Washington. Denver probably will
furnish 200 men.
The registrants are to come from
class one. While local boards in some
instances show a depletion of class
one men, it developed that 1000 men,
some of them in the 1918 class, are in
class one, but at present are regarded
as inactive" Delay in examination
for good reasons has kept them Sc
cure from the draft to this time, altho
Washington officials are counting on
placing 1000 of them in class one.

Not Over $50 Voters Hear Candidates
mt Hampton - Candidates Hold
Meeting.

Hampton. June 19.-The meeting
here today was a repetition of that
held at Barnwell yesterday as far the
attendance and the character of the
speeches were concerned. except that
at Hampton there was not over $50
voters present at any time in a county
which polls approximately /, 900 votes.
Two reasons were assigned for the
laxity OF attendance. The farmers are
too busy to listen to over four hours
or uninterrupted oratory, and the
meeting 10 was claimed was not sufii-
ciently advertised. At any rate some
OF the candidates are becoming dis
heartened at what appears now to be
the non-success OF the State itinerary.
meeting OF the candidates was
held this morning at which there was
discussed the advisability OF asking
the State executive committee to di-
vide the party. putting some OF the
contenders for lesser Offices i'm the SEN
atorial '.junket." as II appears that
the senators are not receiving mann
moth crowds. The lesser candidates
objected to being shelved. A COM
promise was effected i'm an effort TO
obviate meetings of the same
length as that at Barnwell. which ex-
tended over seven hours. by limiting
the time of each OF the governors to
eighteen minutes. and that OF the 9th
.er candidates to eight minutes each
Yesterday twenty minutes was allotted
to the gubernatorial members and ten
minutes to each OF the other candi-
dates. The meeting today extended
over four hours and fifteen minutes
and the new arrangement was not
entirely satisfactory.

are two schools OF philosophy among
