II was her legitimate ambition to

was competent to fill a higher once.
IL was in the gift OF my friends to
make her dreams come true. but they
have turned her down and turned mo

competency or anything else but just
on a cowardly. sneaking question OF
religion. Forgetting our friendly
relations of many years standing you
have consulted nothing but your mar

AN ECHO OF THE
ELECTION

wish to avail myself of this OPP
portunity OF thanking my many dear
Republican friends for the kind and
loyal support you gave my daughter
in the election of November 5th.
For fear you may not realize II !
will rehearse in my plain way what
YOU did and refresh your memory so
that your action may appear as clear
TO YOU as 1t does to me; you may re-
call the moment when you walked In
to the booth on election day with the
intention of voting straight Re
publican ticket as possibly you had
done many times before Way down
the list you came to the name OF
candidate who years ago had made
the unfortunate mistake Of becoming
a member of the Catholic church.
Against such a crime your conscience
of a good Christian man or woman
generous and patriotic way you de-
cided that the country should be
saved from the dangers OF having In
office such a menace to our institu-
tons. And so taking your little pen
in hand you treacherously made
your cross besides the Democratic
name. playing traitor to your own
larty to satisfy your religious pre-
JUDGE and narrow-mindedness. You
did not care that by doing so you
were stsbbing your own party. your
'neighbor's daughter. and myself. her
father. Just because my daughter did
not belong to your Church. and this
in the twentieth century.
You leaders will remember that
she was placed on the Republican
ticket by the Primary election with
Ia fair majority. After that she was
called to attend a meeting of all Re
publican candidates. contributed the
usual amount of campaign expenses
and was assured that the purpose was
to work for the election of a straight
Republican ticket. This my daugh-
ter did. worked long and hard and
clean, never INDUCED in personal re-
marks about her opponent, thinking
that the party would stand by her as
she stood by IT, but when the returns
came in 1t was plain that some of my
Republican friends had done their
cowardly work well. The election of
he Democratic candidate was not a
Democratic victory but the result of
the treaehery of my own party. the
party to which | have always be-
longed. which | have helped to the
extent of my power. that | have fol-
lowed to victory and defeat. And all
this just on account of religion

Christmas Parcels for Soldiers Over.

The American has undertaken the
task of supplying Christmas package
to each boy in the A. f. F. in Europe,
who has neither relative nor friends
able to send him Christmas parcel,
or to whom, for any reason, the in
dividual soldier does not desire to for
ward the Christmas parcel coupon
furnished him.
Exactly the same conditions apply
10 these parcels as those prepared BY
local residents for their own relatives.
If you desire to send package to one
of these boys, consult the secretary Of
your local Red Cross as to the require
ments.
The final date for mailing these par
cells is November Goth, so they must
be in the hands of the local committee
for inspection and wrapping day or
two previous to that time.

The following is taken from a bull
letin recently issued by the federal
food administrator for Colorado:
FOOD AND THE WAR.
"The great struggle, now starting
its fifth year, has become one of en-
duranee. In scientific production of
machinery and devices of destruction
and offense the contesting armies are
almost equally matched. That side
which can preponderate in its man
mower and in the morale and condi-
ton thereof will win.

In report just issued the American
Red Cross War Council states that 3d.
900 nurses have been enrolled by the
department of nursing of the Red Cross
to October list. More than 1900 Of
these are serving soldiers and sailors,
half of this number already being on
duty overseas. About 10000 of those
in the service with our forces here and
abroad are with the army. Seven
hundred nurses, women, have been as
signed to the federal public health
bureau or to the Red Cross service in
the United States and the remaining
1900 include those not available or
eligible for active service, but who
may be utilized for home defense work.
About 1900 additional nurses will
be needed by the army alone before
the first of the year, according to the
report. Should the war continue on
its present scale, it is estimated that
the total number of nurses required
in the military hospitals here and
abroad by next July will be $4,000.
These estimates, the report states, are
based on an army of 100000, and
navy of $4,000, or approximately one
nurse to each "a of the military and
naval population.
To meet the nursing requirements
Of the coming year a campaign will

STRANGE STRIKE
ON At BUFFALO
No Murmur is Heard from
PubIic-PIantS Manage
Own Transportation.

BUFFALO, oct. 1s-Bunalo has
been undergoing one Of the strangest
street car strikes ever known in a
large city. With service at a stand
still on all city and interurban lines
OF the International Railway COM
pany. and street transportatioP en-
trey dependent on automobiles. no
murmur of complaint has been
heard from the public and there has
been little loss Of time at manufac
turing establishments.
There has been no disorder. While
the city council, the striking men
and officials Of the company were
comforting in vain over terms Of
settlement, the people of a city Of
SEQ. 900, covering an area Of about
80 square miles, have either walked
OF ridden in automobiles or motor
trucks. A proposition which would
have permitted the company to
charge a six-cent fare was defeated
few weeks ago by an overwhelm-
ing popular vote. although it was
realized that such a verdict was
tieup.
The siX-cent fair proposal came as
a result OF an award by the war
labor board of a wage scale OF 43 to
as cents an hour to Buffalo street
car employees, an advance of about
% per cent contingent upon the
granting Of a six-cent fare. The
award would have added approx
mately $1,6O0.0OO a year to the
company's payroll. The men stood
firm in their demand for the raise
and service was completely suspend
ed Sept. g.
Manufacturing plants made prep
arations 10 carry their employees to
and from work in automobiles and
auto trucks Owners of automobiles
cooperated Have a lift as far as
we go" was the rule everywhere.
Men were transported in motor
trucks from the east side TO the
west side munition and airplane
plants in half the time it took them
TO travel by street car. Shopping
went on as usual, but in somewhat
reduced volume. Many automobile
lines sprang up. Ten cents was the
general fare. Hours of working were
staggered" or separated so as to
avoid crowding in the rush hours.
Some loss occurred in the produc-
ton Of war supplies because factory
employees disliked to work overtime
owing to the fact that motor trans
portatlon facilities decreased in
volume and increased in price at
night. The Curtiss company esti-
mated a loss of 10000 working
hours in five days At the Buffalo
drydock. a branch of the shipbuild-
ing corporation, the proportion of
men reporting regularly for work
was two per. cent greater than be
fore the strike

WASHINGTON, oct. 17.-No fur

TO continue the existing daylight

This decision was reached today at

The senate recently passed a bill
to continue the law in effect indefi-

author of the original daylight bill,
said after the conference today that
he difficulties of the railroad ad-
ainistration and other government
agencies in arranging schedules and
anticipated difficulties in getting
final action on the bill by the house
contributed 10 the decision. The war
industries board urged continuation
OF the law particularly because of
its value in the saving Of fuel

for Prohibition is Opposed by

Candidates

fFrom the De Soto Argus of July IL. 1871
According to Insurance Commission
ers Ekern and Cleary and William H.
Hatton, tn legislation introduced by
Senator j. Henry Bennett for fixing
insurance rates saves the people of the
state $2,700,00 annually. He was the
author of the bill which became law
exempting farmer cooperative cream
cries and cheese factories from the
provisions of the income tax law which
saved the Viroqua creamery some
$4,000 per year and likewise every
creamery of this kind in the state.
He introduced bill to tax war prof.
teers with a sur tax at the special
session which Secretary of State Hull
also championed and which he claims
would bring into the treasury four
million dollars per year. He voted
for the Prohibition referendum amend
ment and favored the adoption of the
federal constitutional prohibition "a

So far as heard from every member
of the Legislature of two years ago
who favored prohibition is being OPP
