Sears McHenry, county chairman Of
the War Savings campaign, reports
to the Review that Crawford county
is still short Is per cent of its quota.
The drive OF last Thursday brought
the total sales in the county up con-
siderobly and eleven townships out
of the twenty managed to subscribe
their quotas. The city of De1ison is,
however, 20 per cent below its quota.
The townships who have reached
their quotas are: Denison, Washing.
ton, Union. Goodrich, Stockholm, Sol.
der. Paradise, Willow Iowa, Hayes,
and Boyer. No returns have been re-
ceived from Charter Oak Nishnabot.
ny and Morgan.
Mr.. McHenry reports that Hanover,
jackson, Milford and East Boyer are
still below their quota.
Mr.. McHenry has authorized the
Review to announce that the campaign
win be continued in the various towns
and townships until the county's quota
has been reached. As chairman, he
does not propose to allow anyone to
shirk their duty and careful check
is being made in every township to
determine who has not subscribed
their full quota. These people will
be given an opportunity to do so and
if they fail then will be reported to
the military bureau who will take
proper steps to see that they do their
duty.
Last Thursday residents were in
structed to call at their regular vot-
ing places and subscribe for their
allotment of War Savings stamps. A
large percentage of our citizens did
so. but we are sorry to say there were
many who failed to do their duty. In
many cases people who were worth
several thousand dollarsl only sub
scribed for nominal amount Of the
stamps, believing they could get by
with it. Mr. McHenry is now making
a complete canvass of the subscrip-
ton cards and those who failed to do
what they should will be called upon
again.

Laws Must be Enforced.

Some Of Opinion Law Does not Gov.

Quotes Law Of State.

Residents of Denison are up in arms
over the fact that the city officials
are apparently making no effort to
enforce the laws in regard to the
operation of motor vehicles. These
complaints have already reached the
county attorney, w. e. Kahler, and
today the mayor and members of the
police force received letters from him
instructing them to see that the law
is enforced.
In this letter, Mr.. Kahler states that
complaints have reacheh him that
there are numerous automobiles and
motor trucks being operated in this
county which have no number plates
displayed as the law requires. He
also being operated through the
streets of Denison with the cut-0uts
wide. open and they are also being
operated at excessive rates OF speed.
Mr.. Kahler calls their attention to the
fact that children under fifteen years
of age are not permitted to operate
cars without having with them q per
son Of mature years, as Is required
by law. In this letter he instructs
them to see that the state law is en-
forced.
Some drivers of cars in Denison
are of the opinion that there ID no
law governing the use Of mufflers. For
their benefit we print paragraph >.
of the supplement code of 1913, ssc-#
ton 1871:
9. It shall be unlawful for the OPP
orator or owner of any motor We

Resolutions
We, the Democrats of Crawford
county in convention assembled, here
by proclaim the following resolutions:
It is with pride that I'VE endorse
the Democratic administration now at
the head of affairs In this great
nation. 1t is with pride ond salts
faction that we point to Woodrow
Wilson president of the United States
as the most qualified of any chief
executive of this nation since its foun-
dation up to the present time. He is
today recognized as the towering fig
ure in all international diplomacy and
discussions and is heralded in all Of
the democraciesS Of the world as the
protector and saviour of the freedom
of the peoples of the world. In this
war against autocracy, brutality and
military force, Woodrow Wilson and
his advisors are meeting every de-
mand of the American people and are
conducting the war on the broadcast
and safest policies for the victory Of
the Allies who are fighting against
the Central Powers in Europe.
We point to the achievements of
the democratic party which has been
in power since March, 1918, as great
er than the achievement of any par
ty which has ever held power in the
United States for similar length of
time. Under the democratic admin
istration the country has been pro-
vided with a financial policy that has
guaranteed and saved the people of
this nation from financial panic dur
ing this time OF national stress and
war; Without this adequate financial
policy it is recognized by every right
thinking person that the United
States could not have become the
creditor of nations and could not have
financed this war with the tremen-
dous success that has now been pos
sible.
The old time political contests over
the tariff and governmental policies
in times of peace have now become
overshadowed by the all important
measures to win the war. In promot-
ing these measures we point to the
fact that President Wilson and his ad-
visors have not only taken the lead
and shaped the policies which have
proven so, successful, b yehtut h9
proven so successful, but they have
called to their aid and assistance the
great men of the nation in all political
parties. We must commend these
great men of other parties who have
unqualifiedly and periodically given
their thought and effort to the sup
port of President Wilson and the par
ty in power to win success for all Of
the people. These times have brought
forth big men, brave men and good
men whose thoughts are far above
petty political strife and whose
thoughts are entirely for the good
of all nations and for humanity. And
these big men have given their whole
hearted and continued approval of
