County Court for the North District
is successful and substantial FARM
err of Mingo township and the type.
of man best suited to fill the office of
Judge of the County Court Possess
ed Of a calm, judicial temperament,
absolutely without prejudice and
with the best interest of the County
always his foremost concern, he has
served his district faithfully, ef-
ficiently and with honor to himself.
During the past year alone since
Judge Middleton has been on the
County Court the bridge debt,
that financial bugaboo which has
for so many years been hanging
over the heads of the taxpayers OF
the county, has reduced to the extent
of $6176oo. Judge Middleton,
acting ign conjunction with Judge
Lowder of the South District, nego-
tiated the compromise with the
holders OF the paving claim against
the county, whereby the holders
agreed to accept $4,000 less than the
face of the judgement rendered
against the County by the federal
courts. He took the stand that the
Drainage districts of the county
should pay for the bridges over the
drainage bitches and that the cost OF
the bridges should not be saddled
onto the county. Although he was
subjected to considerable criticism
on this ground he stood firm and last
week decision was handed down by
the Supreme Court sustaining him
il, his attitude on this matter. In
short Judge Middleton has con-
Quoted the business of the coun-
ty in the same careful conscien-
tious manner in which he would

suits show beyond the shadow of a
doubt in the improved conditions of
the county's finances. He has been
lifelong Democrat and there never
has been time when he did not sup
port his party's nominees and give
his. aid to the ticket. Billy Middle
ton has shown himself to be the ideal
man for county judgeship and the
North District may we'll take pride
in the manner in which he has served
in that capacity. He should be re-
and reelected to that Of

Missouri Women Vote for President,

With all the publicity in regard to
the ratification of the Nineteenth
(suffrage) Amendment, there seems
to have arisen a very natural con-
fusion in the minds of many men and
women as to the exact status of wo-
men voters. Following the fluctuat-
ing fortunes of the amendment as
detailed by the daily press, they lose
sight of the fact that Missouri wo-
mems right to vote for president has
no connection with the ratification of
this amendment.
Suffrage may be, granted in two
ways, through legislative enactment
in individual states, or by the .rati-
fication of the national amendment.
In fifty years but fifteen states have
given women full suffrage. Natural
" the suffrage leaders have concen-
trated on the national way. Thirty
five states have ratified the Nine
teenth Amendment Git needs thirty
six. to become part of the constitu-
tioD. The governor of Tennessee
has called special session for Att.
gust 9. If Tennessee becomes the
perfect &c." all the women in the
United States will be able to vote
for every office from constable to
president in the November election.
But in March, 1913, the Missouri
legislature passed the presidential
suffrage bill, and enfranchised the
women of this state to the extent of
voting for presidential electors,
therefore do not confuse the. right to
vote for president in Missouri with
the status of the suffrage amendment.
WE CAN VOTE FOR PRESI-
DENT.
