CHARLES L. JAYNES
Republican Candidate for Representative

ganization with an iron hand. For
twenty years this politician had ab-
solute control of the political ma
chinery of that city. Then Jaynes
proved to be the man needed-he
made a campaign aggression
against tremendous handicaps and
won. During that campaign he was
opposed by all the elements of po-
litical trickery and corruption, and
was further handicapped by being
compelled to make many trips to
Clear Greek county looking after
his minidg interests
W. W. Bingham. president of the
city council said, "Mr. Jaynes is a
thorough business man, exemplary
in his habits. en- ergetic. industri-
Gus, and integrity unquestioned,
and with wide experience n
business matters. No matter in
what position you found him. he
was in the right place. Mr.. Jaynes
has served this city in several elec
tive positions, and always with sat.
isfaction to the city and credit te
himself.''
Mr.. Jaynes returned to Cleal
Greek county Is years ago to make
his home, and his loyalty to the
entire county has never been ques
toned. If he is elected to the
Office of representative his sup
port of every interest of the count,
will be best proof of his splendie
manhood. A vote for Charles L.
Jaynes is vote for capability anc
honesty.

This Way to See
the Alligator Pear!

Mrs. s. l. Burger se1t to the
Siftings- News Office Monday an
allisa ator pear which her daughter,
Mrs. Chas. Carlson, sent to her
from southern Florida. To US it
is quite strange fruit, tho it may
be familiar to others. Anyway,
we will not try to eat il for several
days, and will have it on display
in the Siftings- News window. She
also sent another kind of fruit.
but we were only privileged to
smell it, SO we won't mention it.
{ (Forgot the name of it, that's
why).
Later in the season Mrs. Burger
will probably receive her usual
box of fruit from Florida, and if
we get sample of that we will let
you know.

Two Other Editors
Refuse TO Support
NOnpartiSan League

George M. K mbal. edrrpr OF
the Ctaig Emplre, has paced
himself on record as posed TO the
election of James NJ. Collins and
the other Dem mscratic nominees in
dorsed nv the Nonpsrt,san league.
Editor Kim mball has been prominent
in Colorado state politics for thirty
years and is at present chairman
of the Moffat county Democratic
central committee.
In placing the names of Shoup,
Cooley, Mulnix and Stong at the
head OF he editorial column of the
Empire, Mr.. Kimbail asks his
readers to support the bipartisan
selections IN "the interest Of
Americanism and sane govern
ment."
In an editorial explanation of
the bipartisan selections, Mr.. Kim
ball says:
1--WE believe in Democratic prin-
ciples and refuse to surrender
voluntarily these convictions to
the cause of radicalism and an
archy, no matter in what disguise
it may be presented. The fact that
several Nonpartisan league candi-
dates have horned into the Dem
ocratic camp does not signify that
the grand fundamentals of the
party must be overthrown. 1t
simply proves that many watchmen
were asleep at the switch.
Some say, 'Yon are helping to
wreck the party. Very well. If
the party has arrived at crossroads
and chooses the path of Bolshevism
instead of Americanism, it is better
wrecked. But the Democratic party
will not be broken. If it rises to
the emergency and prom pity Stays
the venomous reptile that has
usurped a prominent place in its
midst the party will come back
greater than before. This is time
for Americanism, for the preserva'
ton of the very foundation OF our
government, not for the glori6ca.
tion nor salvation of any politica
party.
| Where bogus Democrats have
a place on the ticket we advise
real Democrats to vote for the
Republican nominees
Following the lead of the Craig
Empire, leading Democratic organ
of Moffat county, the Boulder
Daily Camera, always a staunch
| Democratic paper, has announced
that it will not support any of the
Nonpartisan league candidates who
are masquerading as Democrats on
the Democratic state and county
tickets this fall. The Camera de.
clares that the interests of Colo.
RADIO cannot be served by turning
the state over to representatives
of class conscious organization

Merit Deserves Reward


county superintendent of schools
Mrs. Ida E. Pike, is one of the
best qualifi d educators in the state
of Color ado, and her friends are
asking for her election to this all
important office because of the
qualification, and her work for the
upbuilding of this community.
Among Mrs. Pixies former pu-
pills are many successful teachers,
lawyers, mining engineers, electri.
clans, wives and mothers, and some
of our very best citizens, who are
loud in singing her praises. Mrs.
Pike occupies an enviable position,
when she can look back and see
how she has helped to shape the
lives aud characters of SO many
good citizens in this county and
other localities.
During the war Clear Greek
county was noted for its satisfac-
tory of work, the Red Gross, and
that work was 80 enhanced by the
loyal work of Mrs. Pike, as chair
man, shl lpments being invariably
marked in Derver as good" or
Every good. Production orders
sent out to chapters known to do
good work were given to Clear
Greek chapter. Orders were re-
ceived for surgical dressings to be
sent direct to the front, without
inspection, the chapters work
being at all times entirely satisfac-
tory. In the drive for mem bership
the chapter always went over the
top-.it never failed. Every town
in Clear Greek county did its very
best in the Red Cross work and in
perfect harmony and good will.
This work was under the leader
ship of this splendid woman.
Having been teacher for many
years, Mrs. Pike is thoroly CON-
petent to teach in any room which
may need substitute teacher, and
any person who holds the position
of county superintendent shoule
be able to do this. Substitute
teachers are not always available
and it is plain to be seen how
necessary it is to have superin-
tendent who is able to conduct a
school room. Capability is what
we want in those in charge of oul
schools, and Mrs Pike is woman
fully able to handle the duties oi
this office. Think of these things
when you cast your vote on No.
vember 2.
At the time Of the terrible flu
epidemic Mrs. Pike worked untir.

The Red Cross maintained hos

time the need was made known to

TRAIN SCHEDULE REVISION

Advantages That Would Accrue to

Increasing Recognition That City
Never Can BE Bigger Than Its
Transportation System, Says
Chairman Coleman.

\ statement given out yesterday by
the joint committee OF travelling men
and business organizations OF Rich
mond who are behind tho movement
to revise train schedules, shows
widespread discussion OF the proposal
among the business men OF tho city.
There is growing recognition"

never lie bigger than its transporta-
ton system. and that trade expansion
can never be accomplished unless
adequate facilities are provided by
the railroads 10 reach into logical
Richmond territory and capture tho
commerce now going to other mar
kctS of farther distance
In part the statement takes up tho
following arguments for the pro-
posed changes In The railroad sched-
ules:
Tho establishment OF Pullman car
service from Richmond to Whining!
ton. y. c. ana return for all cities in
Eastern North Carolina would open up
4 section OF trade for which Rich
mond is the logical center. Jobbcrs
from this district find IL more con-
venient to do their trading In Balti-
more and Washing ton, although the
distance to those cities is nearly
double that to Richmond.
FaVorx baltimore Market.
Under the present schedule, u job
bcr from Wilson, y. c., would have
to leave his Pullman at 4:10 o'clock
in the morning. IL he wishes to stop
in this city. while if lie remains In
hia sleeper he reaches Baltimore In
time TO transact hia business with
similar manner at night. That con-
vcnience favors tho Baltimore mar
ket. The establishment Of ~ Rich
moIid Wilmington sleeper would make
It possible for the same man TO tradc

get by continuing his journey to Bal

because Richmond lacks the induce
ments of becoming q market for the

II matter OF providing means by which
that class ~ traders can be induced
to come here with comfort and con-
venicnce.
