Bill Lemke is appealing for votes
for the league ticket because OF the
wonderful things and benefits derived
from the compensation law, the sol
dier's bonus and other joke measures
but he absolutely has forgotten u
I. appeal to the voters on account OF tha'
wonderful dockage law. we nave
some real farmers around here VINO
have received, as much as TIC back 1or
their dockage and at the same time
paid into the treasury of the state and
county double the amount OF taxes
that they paid before. Yet MI. Lemke
saws this is good for us and wants
everybody to vote to retain this glor-
ious new day that we have been ex-
periencing the past four years.
While speaking in our court house
a few nights ago Mr.. Townley was lis
tened to by a bunch of women who
pretend to stand for the best things
in life. They heard him swear to a
fare-you-w every other breath ana
then he told them that there was not
one of them who knew enough to
mark their ballot correctly. Then
they vociferiously applauded the state,
ment and after the great sachem mad
gotten through speaking they went
up and congratulated him upon the
great and exalted speech he had made.
And some of these people are teaching
our young people along educational
lines. Whittier are we drifting
The Nome paper admits that the
fight for the official paper is between
the Times-Record and the Public Opin-
ion. If all those who believe that this
paper has been large factor III help

government idea-and we think it has
it should receive your support
whether you like the editor or wheth-
er YOU do not. That is not the issue.
The issue in this campaign is to beat
socialism and we have tried our pest
to do SO and we have done it without
pay or without promise and we are
glad of whatever service we have per-
formed along these lines. We ask
YOUR support because we think the
Times-Record is the best paper IN the
county to give the public the best ser
vice along publicity lines. Place an

S.. S. Mcdonald in his speech or
rather vaudeville at the court house
last night, made the statement that
if the Independents won out they
would repeal the compensation law
the eight hour law and some others.
Mr.. Mcdonald knew that he was tell
ing a falsehood when he made that
statement. The independents have no
notion of doing any such thing. Per-
sonally we like tn laws with the ex-
ception that the eight hour law should
be amended to give women the right
to work over time and get pay for it !
the same as the men do. The COM
pensation law needs amending so that
it will not be burden to the people
as it is now. The independents will
keep all good laws on the statute
books and if Mr.. Mcdonald cannot
get votes any other way than by try
ing to misrepresent matters the way
he did last night he better put on a [
regular vaudeville show and let it go
at that.
We are only few days away from |
the general election. From a survey
of the state made by the independent
campaign committee, it is claimed that
j. F. T. O'Connor and the entire fus-
ion ticket will carry the state by more
than ten thousand majority. All this |
of course depends on getting out the
full vote of the women especially
those living in the country districts. |
Every independent voter is urged to
dedicate Saturday, Monday and Tues
day to political service for the state
and community. Help get all the men
and women out to vote Eyes" five
times on all the initial laws and for
the fusion state ticket. Don't mark
an K at the top of any column. Re-
member the official paper and vote for
the Times-Record and put a cross aft !
er the name of every one Of the legis-
lative nominees placed on the ticket
by the independent voters. All good
citizens will get out and vote on cleo
ton day but slackers won't. Do your
duty.
Mr.. Townley in a speech at James,
town recently said the I. V. AS were
not playing square-that they were
not supporting the nominees of the
June primaries on the republican
