A sOURCE OF ALLIED STRENGTH.


The pest two months have disclosed an Al
lied strategy which not only reinforced the con-
hdence Of the people in the power of the armies
of civilization, but has also uncovered an ap-
parent inability in the German tactics to halt
retreat effectively as an army and the same
lack in the beasts individually This character
istie TO make it all the more conspicuous, shows
up most vividly when contrasted with the re-
action OF the Allied armies under similar cir
cunlstances.
The first great offensive in which the Ameri-
cans participated it win be recalled had its ORR
gimp earranged perhaps-in a counter-attack
to stop q German drive; but the counter for de-
fensive purposes turned into a vigorous and
successful offensive move which not only netted
the ground lost to the Germans during thdse
days but, in some places, yielded net gain to
the Allies. Against this counter, and against
subsequent Allied pushes, the Germans have
frankly given away, sometimes with a SEM
plance Of order. the reports say, but often in
Fout order, leaving behind thousands Of dead
and dying.
The recent frequency of the Allied drives, in
some cases involving joint action by two or
more of the armies, but in other cases-as in
hat Of the British Third yesterday being the
work Of single organization, intensifes this
reserve power of the Allied forces. For three
yeaTs-almost for four years-the Allied lea
ders asked their people to wait and trust in
their power to strike during that time they es-
tabhshed their ability to conduct a defensive
campaign successfully. But reinforcenents in
the form of troops, ammunition and food were
necessary before any determined and sustained
offensive could be launched. Those necessities
have now been supplied; and making good their
word, and completely indicating the confidence
of their people the Allied armies today are
striking with power of Individual stroke which
no Hun defense can suspend and with a FREE
quency of attack which is threatening to dis
rupt the entire, German defense. Against this
attack German "plans" are worthless; there is
much evidence that Germany had no plans ex-
sept those providing for the offensive German
strategy from a defensive standpoint has been
a farce; her boosted preparations for the boast
sd conquest are now doubted quite aside from
her boosted military power.
All these things point to sn ultimate victory
Tor forces whose cause is that Of civilization
whose preparation has been careful and delib
crate although perforce slow, and who have a
q foundation for their attack native menta
resourcefulness and physical endowment which
no German knows. The Hun stands baf1ad ant
helpless before armies which attack today anC
tomorrow and the next day, and who do no
cease to marry their enemies German prepare
tions did not provide for this. German prepare
lions could hardly have provided for this.

TO THE VOTERS
 OF NEVADA COUNTY

In submitting my candidacy for Representative for your con sideration. 1 beg leave to state that for several reasons l will not be able to make a personal can vass of the County; as much as 1 would like to see every voter per sonally, l am sure the great ma- jority of the people are like my self anxiously desiring to do everything they can to help our great and beloved country or Government in her noble and gi- gantic struggle to make the world safe for Democracy, and we feel We can only do SO by working or attending closely to our business and acquiring means and substances with which to contribute to the great cause. Therefore, l am sure that the patriotic Citizens of Nevada County will not think because l do not get to see them that 1 dc not desire their support, but will feel assured that 1 will highly appreciate it, and if am elected 1 assure you that l will serve you honestly and faithfully. Now it is not my purpose in this brief statement to discuss measures or issues but will state that 1 am highly in favor of every measure which will make toward better schools and better roads and a further advancement of our peo- pie morally and socially. So again asking my friends not to forget me on May 18th, l re- main.
 Very Respectfully Yours,
 Car, Mum,
The Nevada County picayune., 1918-05-16

County for the Red Cross drive which continues up to May the 27th, l will not be able to make any canvass in behalf of my can didacy for Circuit Judge. The impression has gone out that have already held the office for two terms and am now a canGi date for the third term. This is not true; l am now serving my first term and am a candidate for a second term. Ny oppo nent, however, is telling the pe0- ole where ever he goes that l am not candidate at all; that he is running without oppositioa Of course, he can not be serious about this. but he has never seen fit to correct the statement. It is true, 1 have not announced my candidacy through the News Papers in the regular way; I did that when l was a candidate be- fore, and 1 did not feel that, be- ing a candidate for second term, 1 should be expected to announce through the papers at this time.
 In my race for thIs office be fore, stated to the public on different occasions, that 1 did not expect to hold the office through one term, without mak- ing some mistakes, because that would be a better record than any Circuit Judge had ever made. But some of my friends, who have right to know, say that the records of the Supreme Court will show that no Circuit Judge in the State has made less errors in the trial of cases than myself. Whether this is true. I do not know. but 1 do know that 1 have done my best to serve the people of my district honestly, faithfully and efficiently, and if the people feel that 1 have done this. 1 will appreciate their sup. port for the office for another term.
 Very Respectfully.
 G. R. Haynie.

WILL NOT CANVASS
 WILL TRUST THE PEOPl f

To the Voters of Nevada County:
 I had intended to make a little canvass over tie county but owing to the fact that we have less than 20 days to do 1t, It would be impossible to see every one. aa9 q rartaor fact that sirec t4,4 Ia. cal io. more boys from t..e farms, lave simply not got the heart to 20 around aHd bother the p,0lI@. They are too busy and to2 n.ueh eXer- cised over the War to pay much attention to candidates. l fur ther know that every voter in the county almost, knows me and knows whether they will return me to the legislature or not, so l shall leave it to my friends over the county to take care of my interest, and help me to win.
 If I am entitled to the second term, certainly will thank you for it. if 1 am not then don't re- turn me. want yon to look up my record in 1917. and if it was not clean then am not worthy of your vote. on the other hand if it was. 1 thina l can claim the second term, l promise you clean record in 1919.
