A Campaign SANDER
Exploded

In the closing days of the Democratic Primary Cam
pagn disgraceful and wholly false attack has been
made upon the patriotism OF John H. Morehead, Demo-
cratic candidate for United States Senator.
The charge has been widely circulated that he at
tempted to exemption from military service under
the draft for his son. Edwin Morehead 1t is alleged
that he made the effort before the local board In Rich
ardson County, that he then appealed to the district
board at Lincoln and being turned down there car
ried the case before President Wilson.
The charge is outrageousy false. Governor More
heads son enlisted as private July 3, 1917. and
went to Camp Cody in August of that month Since that
tme by earned promotions he has risen to the rank OF
second lieutenant. Governor Morehead never asked
for deferred classification exemption for him. neither
did anyone else.
The facts in the case are set forth in the appended
affidavit signed by the members of the exemption board
of Richardson County:
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
We Exemption Board of Richardson County have been
informed that certain parties circulating report that Ex
Morehead and his Edwin John Morehed appeared

WILL YOU HELP OUR BOYS ABROAD?
Every Man, Woman and Child Can Join to Send News of This Town Into the Front Line Trenches.
WHOLE NATION MOVES
 TO BANISH SOLITUDE

Every citizen interested in the boys of his home town now at the front, and in the brave women who equally are serving their country abroad, has an opportunity to show his appreciation of the sacrifice they are making. The opportunity comes as a result of the generosity and thought of Colonel Will liam Boyce Thompson of New York, who has conceived and put into execu- ton what is known as the Home Pa- per Service.
 Under the plan, every man and wo- man in foreign service will receive the town newspaper, and so be kept in constant touch with the places and the people they know and love-
 Every branch of the United States Government is interested in the plan. The Government realizes the impor- tanee of keeping those in the service happy and constantly in touch with their home ties and associations. Moth ing is more depressing in national emergency than the spirit of loneliness in those serving their country, and of. hcia1s know that nothing can dispel this feeling more effectually than read ing the home town newspaper.
 Publishers of newspapers in all parts of the country-this newspaper includ- ed-have grasped with pleasure the plan outlined by Colonel Thompson, and they have agreed to cooperate in every way.
 Under the ruling of the War Indus tries Board newspaper publishers are forbidden to send their newspapers free, even to soldiers. The newspaper must be subscribed for in the regular way, the only exception being soldiers who formerly were in the employ of the newspaper and who left that serv- ice to enlist. Colonel Thompson there fore proposes that the public in each community contribute to fund so that the home newspaper Gin our case this newspaper) may reach every man and woman now in the service of his coun- try.
 Anyone may contribute to the fund, and any sum may be contributed. It is not necessary to contribute the entire amount. of one subscription. It does not matter whether the rich man sends in one hundred dollars or the poor boy or little girl sends in five cents. Each gift will be a message of love and help fitness to the home town folks cover
The Holbrook news., 1918-10-11

1nere.. me money wIn pc Jumped into one fund, out of which subscrip- tions will be entered as fast as the money is received.
 Contributors who send in the full price of a years subscription may, if they wish, designate to what particular person they wish the newspaper sent, but if the name given is already listed as receiving the paper, then the pub fisher reserves the right to apply the subscription to some less fortunate sol dier boy or noble woman who is just as lonely for news of homo and home folks.
 The name of every contributor to this home paper service will be pub lished in this newspaper, and the name of everyone entered for subscription will be published as well as the num- Der of those remaining whose subscrip- tions have not been covered. If the amount of money received shall be more than is necessary to send the paper to every person from the town now in the service, then the bal ance will be turned over to the Red Cross.
 The plan is endorsed by the pub fisher of this newspaper without any thought of profit, either directly or in- directly, but with a sincere desire to help keep the home fires burning and news of our town, to keep their hearts warm for us and to let them kRow they are constantly in our minds.
 The publisher, of course, cannot make profit on circulation, and addi- tional circulation such as this will be- circulation from non-purchasers sent far across the sea-can have no added value to the advertiser.
 These facts are stated so that every contributor may feel that every cent contributed goes to the good cause.
 The mothers of our boys are facing an ordeal with a bravery that con- mands respect and admiration. Here and there where tiny stars are turned from blue to gold, where anguish grips the heart, the nation stands in silence and honors the women who have given of their blood, the very bone of their bone, to their country. To them, home las lost it's meaning-the soul of .i has aed-there is no home, it Is just a place, and no place is quite so lonely, unless it be within the hearts of those brave sons in far off France who long for just a word of home. There can not be man, there cannot te wo- man, no, not even child, who will fail to contribute just little 10 make the hearts of these patriots dsL,er. Not one. Not in our town.

Canadian Bankers

Canadian banking interests, it was

According to information received in
local banking circles, Canadian bank
crs have been in conference regarding
the unfavorable exchange position, and
are now considering asking permission
of the Canadian Minister of Finance
Tor shipping enough gold to the United
States to straighten out the situation.
"A banker who is in close touch with
the matter said yesterday that pos
slbly an arrangement would be made
whereby the Dominion authorities, who
now have an embargo on all gold ex-
ports, may make it possible for the
banks to send a substantial amount of
gold to New York on the promise that
as soon az it is convenient the metal
will be returned to Canada
Normally grain shipments into the
United States from Canada would tend
to correct the exchange situation by
building up the balances carried here
by Canadian banks, but, owing to the
transportation congestion, these ship
ments have been sharply reduced. At
the same time the heavy purchases
here Of steel and other material for
the manufacture in Canada of war sup
plies for the British government have
tended to create a larger demand for
New York funds at Montreal.

the shoe was on the other foot. Cana
dian banks then had big balances here
which they wished to transfer across
the border. Finally they obtained per-
