THE REPUBLICAN DEC
LARATION

In an eloquent and charac-
teristic address Mr.. Will Hays,
the dynamic chairman Of the
Republican national commit
tee, delivered on Thursday at
Grand Rapids, he sounded
again the keynote of the Re
publican policy.
"The Republican party" he
declared, says to the country:
STAND SY THE WAR, And
in this declaration Of purpose
is included the slogan which
the Democratic party seems to
have adopted, Stand by the
President a duty which Re
publicans have assumed as a
matter Of course as to all that
the great office implies. 1t in
clues far more than this: it IN

official, high or low, measured
by the thoroughness with
which that public official

Libel Gases Up

The criminal libel proceed

against Col. Lred S. Breen, edi-
tor of the Flagstaff Sun, and
Allan b. Jaynes, editor of the
Tucson Citizen, are set for trial
Monday, October IA. Governor
Hunt complained against the
editors because they published
an article in which he was
quoted as saying to Prof. H. c..
Laurence Of the Northern Ari-
zona Normal School, "To He'll
with the War" The editors are
standing on the truth of the
publication and promise to
give a good show when Hunt
takes the stand. The case

There has never been a time
when Republican leadership in
the nation has been more de-
serving of confidence or more
needed in the high councils of
the nation. There has never
been a time when Republicans
might uphold the mighty tra-
ditions Of their party or stand
more resOlutely upon its prln-

Tom Campbell Strong

Reports from all over Ari-
zOna received at Republican
headquarters show that Tom
Campbell is much stronger
than in 1916 and will poll a
larger vote in every county
than he did that year. Mari
Copa county, which gave him
a majority of nearly $500 in
1916 will go over the top for
more than 1000 this year. 1t
would not be surprising to see
Campbell carry Cochise coun-
ty this year. He lost it by 832
votes in 1916. He will cut down
the Democratic majority in
Greenlee, Gila and Mohave
counties and carry Pima and
Graham counties by larger
majorities. He will get better
majorities in Pinal and Yava-
wal, his home county, and
should carry Santa Cruz coun-
ty this year. In the north,
Campbell is strong in Coconino
and Navajo counties and will
give Golfer a hard race in his
home county Of Apache. His
election by a majority of 5000
is predicted.

AMERICA SENDS

True British and American sea-dogs
hunted the submarine; American ship
builders launched fleets whose sheer
numbers made it impossible for the
Hun sub-sea terrors to sink all Of them;
British land cOnscription turned hun,
dreds of thousands of acres of parks
and hunting preserves into crop-pro'
ducing areas; Hoover and American
food economy saved millions of BUSH
els of wheat and shiploads of meat for
fighting men and civilians in France
and England.
But in the last analysis it was the
farm and the farmer of America that
kept allied hosts on every Western
front in plenty and added despair of
victory to the pinch of hunger behind
the Hun lines.
His bumper crops jolted hopes at
Potsdam and Vienna as severely as his
fighting sons jolted Teuton generals at
Cantigny and along the Marine, since

HUN AGENTS
BURN CROPS

The general public is too little aware
of the bitter battles the crop grower
has had to fight to bring his wheat to
harvest.
Burned barns, standing crops, har-
vesters and threshing machines were
only a part of the widespread ruin
planned by these fellows of Boy-Ed,
Won Papen and Won Bernstorff, and in
too many instances their plots were
successful. That more we're not was
due only to untiring vigilance which
can never be relaxed while the war
lasts.
New goals, not easy of attainment,
are placed before the farmer through
the plan for raising an army of five
million Americans to crush Germany
next year.
He will be further handicapped by
the loss of hands to the army, and he
must raise greater crops. Plans Of
the Department of Agriculture call for
the increase of wheat acreage in the
West by as much as so per cent.

WORKINGS OF THE DRAFT

Naturally as not all the available
men for war service is being taken
from communities the query is made
by many why so and so are not TAX
en-. The draft head may not be
doing everything as it should be done
but Gen. Crowder as well as con-
gress has big job on its hands in
raising a vast army. Rulings have
been changed from time to time to
meet unexpected situations. At
first all men drawn by number,
whether married or single, or en-
gagged in necessary and productive
work or not, were taken. Then the
ruling was changed to take only
single men, and now single men and
married men without children are
taken without much or any regard
to the work engaged in. Not all
of these classes are yet exhausted
but in all probility they will be ex-
! hausted by the latter part of August
| when class will be drawn upon,
; taking many married men who have
children. BY this time the complaint
about this and that man not being
taken will cease. except that there
are many men above the draft age
left at home who should be in the
service. But before long, these too,
( will be taken as the draft age will
be changed by fall TO include single
men as well as married men up to 40
or As and young men of 10 years.
With such change Iowa could fur
! nish 100000 more than under the
present draft law, or in all fully a
half million. But we would suggest
to all those disposed to complain
about this man or that man not
yet being taken, that there is a great
obligation resting upon those who
will remain at home under any draft
ruling to buckle into
work and produce as much as pos
sihle and buy government bonds and
War Savings to the limit. Unless
the fellow who is left at home does
all of this he has no reason to COM
plain about others not being called
to the colors. He should make
sure that he too, is answering the
call to the flag. No one has any
reason to imagine himself great
patriot unless he is doing his level
best at home. Finding fault is not
evidence of patriotism. Now is a
good time TO first take the mote out
off ones own eve

will have full charge and each COM

lowing letter from John Kradle,
who is in the army. The young
man is we'll known here, has many
friends who will be glad to read
the letter which is as follows:
l arrived safe yesterday afternoon
am now located somewhere in
England. 1t is sure some great
country: never saw anything like

Our trip aross the water was

days but they didn't last long. This
is the best time of the year to cross

around here.
The towns buildings and farms
are so much different here than
they are in the states. 1t never
gets dark here until ten or half past
in the evening and it starts to get
daylight about half past two or
three O'Clock.
Did you receive any of my letters
or cards? There are lots of small
towns but none are very large.
The people are so much different,
too. Dora spoke something about
