Ford Will Bring Them Back,

The following appeared a few days
ago in the State Register of Spring
field, ILL.,: 81.
Manyt are the stories Of Henry
Ford and his popular automob bile,
but Hillsboro il relating what it calls
the best Of the season, and the facts
lin the case are true. It happend in
one Of the leading churches of the
city that the pastor took for the text
Of his sermon, Better Church Attend
|ance.
ssThe pastor held that the auto.
mobile has taken more people away
from church than any other thing.
He concluded with the exclamation;
THE Ford car has taken more people
Ito hell than any other thing that
can mentionv Whereupon an old
lady in the congregation began
to clap her hands and moan Praise
| the Lord. Praise the Lord
What's the matter, sister? ask
ed the pastor.
ssThe Ford never went any place
| that it couldn't make the round trip

mination Of hostilities prevented the
issuance Of his commission. Though
still a young man, Colonel Stubbs=
has served his country with distinc
ton and honor through three wars,
each time among the first to svolun-
teer, and not sheathing his sword
until the issue had been satisfactor-
lily decided.
This splendid record shows that.
Colonel Stubbs was actuated by the
Enoblest and purest motives of pa
Etriotism, and his thousands of friends
were quick to recognize the fact that
in him were centered the qualities
which should be possessed by any man
who aspires to govern a great state
Hence it was that Colonel Stubbs,
latter much urging, consented to
make the race for governor. Since.
then ha attracted to his standard
many If the recognized leaders Of
the 7 Snocratie party for they
recognized ii Colonel Stubbs man
Of ability, unquestioned integrity, url-
swerving devotion to the best interest
Of the state, and whose patriotism
impelled him to follow Old Glory to
the battIefields of France. They real
lied that these qualities were such
as to command the cordial support
of a generous and grateful people;
and, without attempting to criticize
Tor humiliate other ambitions gentle
men, they rallied almost spontaneous
|ly to the support Of Colonel Stubbs.
It is not the policy Of Colonel
Stubbs to deal in personalities u
this campaign. He will discuss
measures, not men. It is his desire
to be governor of Louisiana, believ-
ing that he is qualified by his ex-
perience IN various capacities; and
by his knowledge Of men and how.
Ito obtain the best results, will en-
able him to still further serve his
people serve them in times OF
peace as faithfully and successfully
as he served them in war.
Colonel Stubbs formally opened
Ibis campaign in this city on Oct. 9,
when he and his opponent, John M.
Parker, addressed trenend dous
crowd Of people at the fair grounds
lon the opening day Of the South
louisiana Fair The colonel is now
engaged in an, active canvass Of the
lstate, delivering addresses nearly
Ievery day in centers Of population.
land wherever he appears he IS given
Igreat ovations by the Dem cratic
voters Of the state.
