ELECTION WAS NOT RESULT
OF PARTY, SAYS BOURNE

Washington, Nov. 1O.-"The Repub-
licans of the country will be guilty of
self-delusion from which they will
later suffer if they look upon the re-
suit of the recent election as a party
victory" declares the Republican
Publicity Association in a statement
issued today through the President Of
that organization, Hon Jonathan
Bourne, Jr. t'It is a party victory on
ly in the sense the Republicans will
be restored to control of both the
of the Government, but an analysis Of
public sentiment as manifested in pol
itical discussion leads to the convic-
ton that the course pursued by the
voters in marking their ballots was
determined by their dissatisfaction
with the Democratic party and its ad-
ministration of the affairs of the
Government, rather than by implicit
confidence in the Republican organi-
zation. More than ever before in it's
history the Republican party is now
on trial before the country.
''The situation which confronts the
United States is critical one. By
many it is believed to be one of the
most critical in our history. However,
that may be, none will gainsay the
assertion that the problems which con
front the nation are not only most
difficult but most pressing.
For eight years We have had an
administration of watchful waiting, of
surrender to foreign rivals, of inter-
nationalism rather than Americanism,
of personal government rather than
government by law, of extravaganza
and fnefficiency rather than economy
and high standards Of public service.
1--WE are assured by the successful
Republican nominees that they pro-
pose return to the government Of the
Constitution, representative govern
ment with each of the three co-ordin-
ate branches exercising its own func-
tions in cooperation with but not
subjection to the others. We are as
sured that there will be conference
branch of the Government not only
with Members of Congress but with
citizens everywhere who are in pos
ition to render valuable advice and as
sistance. The problems of the day are
not, therefore for solution by the
President and BY Congress alone but
all citizens are invited to perform
their duty as such by making such
suggestions as they can to aid in the
reconstruction process through which
the Government will encourage indi-
vidual initiative, build up a permanent
Industrial prosperity on solid basis,
and assure the perpetuity of govern
ment of, by and for the people.
From beginning to end Of the cam
paign, Senator Harding manifested his
full appreciation of the seriousness Of
the task he would assume II elected
to the Presidency. The rank and tile
Of the Republican party should EMU
late his example and in the hour OF
victory should not permit their re-
joicing over partisan success to blind
them to the fact that the election is
call to duty and responsibility
rather than a bestowal of the rewards
Of political victory"

Corporal Elmer N. Buswen

The following sketch of a former
Barton boy who lost his life in the
World war is taken from recent
issue of "Doings of D." little maga-
zine issued in the interests of Com
pany D of the unit in which young
Bussell was serving.
"We have all met fellows who from
the very first time you make their
acquaintance you feel you have made
a friend. Very frank, straight-for-
ward and when they make a state
ment you know they mean it and will
back it up. That's the type of man
our old pal "Big Buzzie" was. From
the first day he joined sd" company
he was very popular, and after he
was made corporal it was just the
same. Up and doing all the time
and the officers of the company knew
that Corporal BuzzelPs squad was on
the job for he was fighting for their
interest all the time.
"Hard work was his middle name
and his promotion to sargeant was
shortly due him. When the first de-
tail was sent over at Chateau Thierry
"Buzzie" went with them and the re-
ports that the boys of that detail
bring back of his deeds speak vol
umes of his courage and bravery.
Until he was seriously wounded and
taken prisoner he never let up min
ute. Efforts were made to find some
trace of him but it wasn't until after
the armistice was signed that final
proof of his capture and death at a
prison camp was verified. One of the
real boosters of sd" company from
the start and the type of man every
one is proud to call his friend and
pal"
