"Tne Illinois primary was
marked by most vicious kinds of
electioneering tactics. Judges
and other officials were kidnap-
ped, ballots were stolen and
voters were terrorized, and to
add to the gayety of the occa-
sion, there was gunplay. 1t
was an election worthy of the
present Chicago administration. "
Thus is the recent Republican
primary in Illinois described by
a special writer in a Republican
newspaper, the Washington
Post, and the writer is secretary
Of the Republican platform ad-
visory committee. And dele
gates selected by such methods
will go to the Chicago Republi-
can Convention to assist in NOM
mating the party's candidate for
President. The campaign lead
ing up to the primary was char
acterized by the same writer as
ga disgrace to the Union.

The committee retired and in few
minuces reported as follows:
We, the Democrats of Adair county
in convention assembled, hereby voice
our approval of the administration of
President Woodrow Wilson and we
congratulate the American people
that, during the World War, they had
his wise and patriotic counsel to guide
them during those perilous times, and
we further congratulate them that
he has, all the time since the cessation
of hostilitles, stood firm and immova-
BILE for proper and equitable adjust
ment of both Domestic and Foreign
affairs; his every effort to promote the
! peace of the world.
We endorse the stand of President
Wilson on The League of Nations as
it was submitted to the United States
Senate by President Wilson, without
reservations.
We denounce as unpatriOtic and dis
loyal the efforts of Senator Lodge and
his followers in opposing the Treaty
of Peace and the League of Nations
for no other reason but to destroy the
prestige of Woodrow Wilson in the
United States and abroad.
We call attention of the people of
Kentucky to the pre- election promises
of Gov. Morrow and the Republican
party, that they would, if placed in
power, abolish useless offices and Of
ficers, and would reduce our taxes.
Upon these promises they were placed
in power, and a Republican General
Assembly has met and adjourned, and
they have utterly failed to carry out
either of said promises. On the con-
trary they have increased instead of
lowering our taxes, and as an instance
of this increase we call the attention
of the voters Of Adair county to the
fact that for the year 1920, the tax
rate in Adair county for State and
local purpose will be S1.4O on each
800 90 which is % cents on the 300 90
higher than it ever was before, and
that the assessment of property upon
which this rate is levied is very much
larger than ever before in the history
of Adair county.
We favor ian uninstructed delega-
ton from Kentucky to the San Fran
cisco convention, and we direct the
delegates, hereinafter named to work
and vote in the State convention to
that end.
We favor an organization of the
Democratic party in Kentucky, and
we favor the election to the members
of the various committees democrats,
who have only the welfare of the
State, Nation and county and party in
view, and we oppose the election of
committeeman whose purpose is to
build up machine with the jnten-
tion to promote the candidacy of any
officer.
100 good Democrats of Adair county
were named as delegates.

years. Late in the spring he was
transferred to Ambulance Co. No. 2,
First Division and as unit in the
army of occupation took up' head

letter, written under date of June 5,
stated that orders had been issued for
him to sail two days later on the 7th.
Beyond mentioning the fact that he
had slight cold he was apparently In
good health at this time and the fami-

was on his way across and would soon
be home, when the message announc-
ing his death was received.

was well and favorably known in and

KELLOGG TO FINISH
NORTH COURT PAVING

It has developed during the past
week that Contractor T. p Kellogg
who has had charge Of the paving
work on North Counrt street, over
which there has been considerable un-
certainty and squabling as to whether
he should be allowed to proceed with
the work, it having been held up SO
long, has decided to resume the work
of fulfilling his contract with the vii
lage, Notwithstanding disposition on
the part of council and>others to oust
him, if possible. VIZ
The inability to secure cement has
been the excuse given until now, when
lit was learned this week, that two car
loads were shipped to Kellogg from
Pittsburg a few days ago and which
should reach Medina by the end OF
this week or the first of next.
Kellogg was in Akron Thursday en-
|gaging shipments Of sand, thus, once
more our hopes are raised for a speedy
|obliteration of the greatest public eye
sore in Northern Ohio.
