publican Congress to support his poll
cies in the first two years at least of
his Administration. Returns received

METHODIST CHURCH NEWS
Evangelist Churchill Spoke Last Night
on "What Is The Difference p


A good sized audience was present
at the Methodist Episcopal church
services Tuesday evening in spite of
the bad weather and interest in cleo
ton.
T. Basil Young, area director of
teacher training for the Methodist
board OF Sunday schools addressed the
local Sunday school board after a
luncheon last evening. Plans are un-
der way to improve the Sunday school
work.
In developing his theme the speaker
soon swung away from the political
topic into religious discussion OF the
condition of men before God. He de-
elared that among all people, good, bad
and Indifferent, who have not accepted
Jesus Christ as Saviour, there is no
difference. I'VE have all sinned and
come short of the God" This makes
1t necessary for all to submit to the
will of the Lord through repentance
and belief. God never grades sin, "
said the preacher. "Man makes dis.
tincton, but God never does. All have
snned, and all need the Saviour, -
Several people responded to his invi-
tation TO make open acknowledgement
of Christ as Lord and Sovereign.

short program in the High school this

All Republican Nominees on County
Ticket Were Elected by Large
MaJorltles.

The republican landslide nit Ben.
nington as It did the rest Of the coun-
try. 1t went for Harding by more
swept Henry Chase, the nominee for
town representative, into office with
the largest majority ever given a local
candidate for that office. In the face
of the republican trend everywhere,
John p. Mulligan, the democratic NOM
inee for representative, made strong
race and taking into consideration
all of the circumstances has no reason
to feel discredited by his defeat He
had the loyal support Of the straight
democratic vote and his friends
worked faithfully for his election 1t
goes without saying that Mr. Chase
was surprised, and agreeably so, over
his unprecedentedly large majority.
He had confidently hoped TO win the
election but the size of the majority
was far beyond his expectations.
Fred c. Martin, the democratic can.
didate for governor. carried Benning-
ton by los majority, receiving 1887
votes to 1882 cast for the republican
nominee, James Hartness Realizing
that Vermont was hopelessly republi-
can from a democratic standpoint, his
friends took the opportunity TO tender
him a complimentary vote in recogni-
tion OF his good citizenship and gener-
al popularity. II is evident that he re-
celyed the solid vote OF the local dem.
ocrats. OF his many republican friends
among the men and a good portion Of
the woman vote.
In Bennington the vote cast for
nominees on the county ticket was
two to one republican, Perry b. Gard
ner for sheriff leading with a total of
1852. Henry d. Fillmore for senator
polled the largest vote Of the demo-
cratic nominees. 76l. The vote in
Bennington for county officers, for

be ousted. There is nothing in the
way of governmental machinery that
the league can give us that we haven't
already got.
The speaker compared the so-called
reform laws of North Dakota with
those of Washington showing that this
state was a pioneer in progressive
Legislation. He charged that the net
results of the leagues program in
North Dakota was increased taxation,
increased burdens of Indebtedness, cur
tailment of investments, destruction
Of credit, an attempt to corrupt the
public school system, and the taking
of the government out Of the hands
of the people and placing it in the
hands of one man, the governor. He
said that uder the leadership Of social
istic dreamers, the farmers Of North
Dakota had been deceived into launch
ing a program the ultimate aim of
which was complete state socialism.
Land he declared was to be taxed. to
the point of confiscation that it might
be forced from the hands of the right
full owners and taken over by the
state.
Speaking Of the proposed alliance
between farmers and organized la.
Dor, Mr.. Creel declared that the chief
aim of labor was to enlist the support
of the farmers for the Plumb plan
which calls for delivering the rail-
roads into the hands of the railway
workers with the right to fix their
own wages and their hours of labor.
When asked who was paying his
expenses Mr.. Creel replied that they
We're being paid by citizens of the
state of Washington in all walks of
life, regardless Of party affiliations,
who think on this question just as he
does.
Mr.. Creel spoke Saturday evening in
Prosser and Monday evening in White
Bluffs. He was accompanied by s. c.
Sawtelle of Yakima, who has been
given leave of absence by the asso-
ciated industries that he might devote
his time to organizing an Independent
campaign against the non-partisan
league and triple alliance movement.
