tain as anything can be that has not
lready happened The people of this
district have been studying and think
ing about and considering the merits
CT the several candidates, and that
fact insures his election, because they
are looking for man whose special
training and preparation, coupled with
his splendid record of wide experience
in dealing with public questions best
fit him to represent them in the Halls
of Congress-. He is perhaps thc best
known man in the Sixth Congressional
District and in the State, and his
twelve years of public service have
endeared him to the people because
of his conscientious and faithful re-
gard for the peoples interest and wei
fare. Endowed by nature with mast
erly intellect, il has ever been used IN
the advocacy of measures tending to-
increase the material welfare of his
state and bring prosperity and hap
piness to the people. No voice has
rung out louder in advocating and pro-
claiming measures that would de-
crease the ills of suffering humanity
and make their pathways through life
less burdensome than his. measures
that would bring peace, prosperity and
happiness to the people whom he
serves and place his state in the very
forefront of the progressive nations OF
the Union. The unusual characteristic
OF his political life is the fact that he
is a positive character. He stands |
for something and no one man has
used greater effort than ne in bringing
about needed reforms in the laws and
public policies OF the state. Broad
minded, liberal. affable. keen and ener-
getic, the Halls Of Congress would be
honored with his presence. His name
is identified with, and his personality
stamped upon the most Important
measures and institutions established
that have been written into law in
the past twelve years.

ship. his unconquerable will and the
force of his genius. his administration,

Watch His Lauuh.

The leopard cannot change his
spots. nor the laugher his laugh. 1t
IS rs characteristic as his nose or the
color Of his eyes. No polish or educa-
tional veneer can alter the laugh much
In quality and tone, although 1T may
soften II. Yet, even then, In an un-
guarded moment the old laugh rings or
cacklcs, or explodes, and the show IS
given away.
+ A man to be avoided, to be passed
by on the ether side, Is the man who
, laughs without smiling. The man who
laughs like q mask or ventr!lOquists

a noise. But he Is smileless as q

activities of the American Red CrosA

issued an order for an automobile to
be given to French hospital for chill
dren of Toul, near Nancy. A lot Of
chintxes for the bedrooms were sent
down to brighten them up, lot Of toys
for the children-F'rench children

held In slavery in Germany, are now
being dumped every day at Eviaa, On
the Franco-Swiss border.
Fancy our government doing that for
French children. Yet 1t must be done
II the French morale behind the lines
Is to be kept up. These deeds of the
American Red Cross are just as much
q part of our military policy in France
and Italy as though they were done un
