The New Republican Chairman

The unanimous election of Will h
Hays of Sullivan, Indiana, as chair
man of the Republican National Com
mittec, was recognition of fitness
which reflects great credit on the
other aspirant for the place, John T.
Adams of Dubuque, Iowa. Mr. Adams,
who came to the city with majority
of the committee favorable to his
elevation to the craftsmanship, could
have easily forced a compromise.
There were developments which con-
WINGED Mr.. Adams and his friends that
his election might embarrass the
party. When this conclusion was
reached he was ready personally to
nominate Mr.. Hays because he believ-
ed in Mr.. Hays exceptional fitness,
even if people generally should con-
strue it as personal defeat.
The selection of Mr.. Hays is not a
triumph of faction. Although only SO
years old, he has been active il Re-
publican politics in Indiana for eigh-
teen years, having served in every
party Office from precinct committee
man up. He was state chairman in
conduct of the campaigns of 1914 and
1916. The most hotly contested state
in the 1916 campaign was Indiana, the
home of the two candidates for vice
president. Two United States senators
were also elected. The Republicans
made clean sweep, carrying the state
for Hughes, electing the governor and
Legislature and two United States SEN
ators. The political effect of the Adam
son act was depended upon by the
democrats to turn the tide, but the
Republicans got down in the trenches
and fought that issue out on its MGR
its. Mr.. Hays is credited with having
the most effective organization in the
entire country during that campaign.
Trained under the Indiana system,
which forbids any member of the
IUuosI9d STU osn ol uopszIuBSIo 6lIBd
influence for or against candidates for
nominations, the Republicans of the
country are assured of discreet,
able, fair chairman, hole-hcartedly
devoted to the party and the country.
As chairman of the State Council of
National Defense he has shown the
same zeal in aiding the conduct of the
war and the same genius for organiza-
ton that have marked his course in
politics. There may be claims made by
individuals or factions, but the election
of Mr.. Hays was really a triumph of
conspicuous Embellishments.

COOK IS
HURT IN ACTION

Joseph w. Cook of this city, who
has been serving in France with an
American machine gun company, has
written his mother, Mrs. j. n. Cook
that he was recently wounded in the
hand and is now in a hospital recov-
ering from the injury. He expects to
go back to the front in short time,
he says.
Cook writes that the allied machine
gunners and infantry are moving down
the Germans, and that the slaughter
among the enemy has been terrible.
He praises the care which has been
given him at the Red Cross hospital,
and says that too much credit cannot
be given the Red Cross for it's work
among the soldiers.
Cook has been in France since last
April. Another son, Frank T. Cook,
enlisted two years with a Canadian
machine gun company, and has been
in action in France for the last year.
He has gone through some severe
campaigns without receiving an in
jury.
The brothers are eager to meet in
France, but up to the present time
have been unable to get in touch with
each other.

Nappy Hollow and imagines that the
houses are brisk one can get on idea
of French villages They are about
six or eight miles apart he says. The

pretty in spite of the war The French
are very kind to the Americans, HUI

Folks at Home Hear Most About
War, Writes Soldier in France

ent values and l consult it when in
doubt. If l am here very long | want
to learn French or enough of it so
that l can make people understand
what l want. We are very busy at
working until 8 p. m. Sunday is the
only day we have to write letters
and then sometimes we are on duty.
This is a beautiful country around
here and is well farmed The French
are very artistic. Their gardens are
nicely laid out with the walks Dor
dered with flowers. 1t is a very pref
ty sight to look out over a farm !;
many of them are blocked off with a
green hedge. From distance it
looks like crazy quilt, with it's diff
ferent shades of color There is a
church up here in a village near the
ca mp that looks something like the
First Methodist at home, the churches
here have tall steeples. chairs on the
inside, tile floors and do not have
many windows. which makes them
rather dark. You hear more about
the war than we do as newspa pers
are rather scarce here; about once a
week a kid comes along with a New
York Herald printed in Paris.
The trains here are more like toys
than anything else l can compare
them to. One coach will carry about
fifteen passengers. They have very
high wheels; the engineer and fire
man stand on a platform with nothing
over their heads to shelter them from
sun or rain. The United States has
many regular engines and box cars
over here; it looks funny to see a
states train along side OF a French
special. You could put French box
car inside one of ours and would
have to hunt to find it. Write to me
often for we are surely glad to get
letters over here from home.
