A Louisville n ;wspaper reporter
who has been travelling through
thb state with Franklin ID. Roose-
welt. predicts that Kentucky will go
Democratic by $4,000 majority. This
reporter says that the audi noes
show conclusively tina the women are
going TO vote, and the this pm dicted
majority depends on whether the
men will vote. In his opinion Ken
lucky has never looked as favorable
to the Democrats a month before
the election as it does today.

.PRATSINGWARV VETERANS
Pupils Show Respect For Former
Soldiers In Letters Recent
Iy Written

Honor and respect for the veterans
of the Civil war was evidenced in
the letters written by the school
children of Mankato in commemora-
tion of Memorial Day. There were a
great many excellent letters receiv-
ed, and it is with difficulty that few
extracts are chosen to be printed
here. ."
Janet Wood, Lincoln school, pen
ned these appreciative lines, I'VE ap-
preciate your work because you have
helped free the slaves and fought hard
for them. We have learned many les
sons from you and if there is ever
another war for freedom for any peo-
a. wa. t., 10 fight as hard as you
did"
Helen Keinschmidt also of the
Lincoln school, has written, 1--WE are
all very proud of your noble work.
have read some about the battles OF
Gettysburg and Bull Run and l think
that the soldiers must have been
very brave to have fought SO well.
Expressing sorrow that the SOL
diers will not be able to take part in
the Memorial celebration of the Lin
coin school, Marcella Kennedy said"
We are too young to remember any
thing about the Civil war, but in
school we have learned about your
noble work We have heard of the
In school we all learned Lincoln's
Gettysburg address. We have heard
about General Grant and General
Sherman and General Meade"
Airline Schrodt. sixth grade of the
Franklin school, has written, I'VE
recall the exercises of Memorial Day
Of former years. when members of
the G. A. r. came to school to tell
about Lincoln and the war How We
wished that we, too, could have
known Lincoln personailv! We will
ever faithfully observe Memorial Day
in memory of the dear old G. A. R."
The letters received from the
Roosevelt school showed an excellent
spirit. A few extracts follow:
I'VE love to sing songs in your
honor. and bring flowers for those
who cannot hear our songs where
they are quietly at rest. But not even
flowers and flving banners can ex-
press the feeling in our hearts to-
ward you and our country"
I'VE appreciate very much what
you have done for our country. We
cannot serve it in the noble way that
you did. but we hope when we grow
up, that we can serve our country in
the same way. We love our country
and flag and hope to do something
for it."
The portions which appear above
show the splendid spirit Of patriotism
that is being instilled in the minds
of the school children, and the teach
ers of the schools are to be congrat-
ulated for the splendid work that
they are accompl ishing.
