To the Democratic Voters

l am candidate for the Democratic nomination for COUNTY AND PROBATE JUDGE of Independence Coun- ty.
 In making my formal an- nouncement some time ago for this important position of pub lie trust, 1 stated at the proper time l would present my views and discuss fully my position on certain things relative to the duties devolvent upon a Coun- ty Judge, but since that time, at a meeting of the several candidates for the various coun- ty offices, it was decided we would have no joint campaign, hence this appeal to you.
 My efforts will be directed toward the construction of GOOD ROADS, securing bridg- es over WHITE RIVER and giving an economical admins tration of ALL COUNTY AZ FAIRS.
 AS Judge, it will be my pur- pose to ascertain and, so far as county finances permit, to re- pair the roads and laterals to Churches, Schools and the County Seat throughout the county, without favoritism to section or locality. In other words if you elect me, I pro- pose to be the Judge for ALI. THE PEOPLE OF THE WHOLE COUNTY and I shall at all times try to conduct the affairs of the office in way and manner that no one will regret that 1 am the Judge.
 1 feel if any person in the entire county is in a position to know the wants, wishes and demands of the people, l am. As Tax Assessor and Tax Col lector 1 learned the work and  duties required in position that vitally affects every tax payer in the entire county. As your official 1 gave the county the best of my ability and en- ergy in conducting an efficient, courteous and honest admins tration. An investigation of the county clerks office shows in the collection of over S700,- 000 taxes every cent has been properly accounted for and all settlements made according to law. 1 did my duty. While these facts are generally known, they are mentioned on account of the increase in pop ulation the last few years.
 The Widow and Orphan, that are made such on account of some loved one being called away, TO YOU I want to say, that when you have business to transact in our Probate Court, if 1 am elected Judge your interests will be given all consideration and promptly at tended to, and all Administra- tors, Guardians, Executors and Curators of ALL ESTATES will be required to settle promptly and according to law. Now the Bridge Proposition

tory or the OOuHlfy, So lar dS am advised, no candidate for this office has ever advocated the building of a bridge across White River before this year. Just why it is so 1 am frank to say 1 do not know, unless 1t was through fear some one would oppose them that would otherwise give them their SUD- port and influence.
 want to state positively and right here, that l am heartily in favor of, and shall, if elect ed to this position, use all the power at my command to have built and put in operation two bridges across this stream.
 One at or as near as it is practical to Batesville, the oth- CT to be at Oil Trough.
 Now, my plan. 1 have two plans. One, to make con- tract with some responsible company or corporation that would be willing to build these bridges at their own expense,  giving them franchise for a certain number of years, mak- ing them toll bridges, all tolls to go to the builder, and as soon as they have received the cost of the bridge in full, to- gether with 8 per cent interest on the investment, then the bridges to revert to the county and become county property, to be kept up and maintained by the county in the future. In making such contract l would protect the people against un- reasonable toll charges.
 This, it seems to me. would be feasible and practical. 1 nave been reliably informed that a good cable bridge can be built at an expense of not over $40,000. In fact, 1 have a letter from a reliable cable bridge builder to that effect; so why wait, why not act now?
 Still another plan, in my judgment, could be worked cut; that would be by direct taxation, but, of course, County Judge could no noth- ing with this until it was favor ably acted on by the Quorum Court, composed of the fifty five Justices of the Peace of the several townships of the county, then it would be up to the Judge to act These bridg- es are badly needed, and I can not see why it would not be practical to put in and con- struct a bridge at each of these places l have mentioned.
 l was born and reared in this county; all the interests I have are here; 1 am a farmer by choice and am proud of it. I have never been engaged in any kind of business where I had to get out and talk my farmer friends out of what they had or were producing to get by.
 l have no promises to make, except that l will handle your interests conscientiously, hon. estly, impartially, and give square deal to all.
 Your friend for Indepen- dence County.

Newark, Sept 11.-Directors OF the
local Young Mems Christian Association,
at a meeting held last night, decided to
suspend all activities indefinitely. The
following resolution WAS adopted:
THAT after years trial it has become
evident that it is impossible to continue
the work of the Newark Y. NJ G. A., due
to lack of financial support; and,
Therefore, the directors agree to
suspend indefinitely the activities of the
association and TO surrender the lease on
the armory. with thanks to the State
Armory Commission for its generosity and
to the people of the community who In so
many ways have aided the directors In
their efforts to make te association q sue
cess.
The association was organized year
ago with Francis A. Cooch As president.
The armory was secured As headquarters
for the association and here all the activi-
ties were conducted. W. Paul Bebout, q
trained ''Y' secretary was secured from
the Trenton, n. j., association an had
charge of the work until last May. During
the winter months there was considerable
athletic activities including basketball,
indoor baseball, vollcy ball, etc, which
UlshlN ihSh ~ VI, seSSD
citation and much good was accomplished.
Early last spring the directors gave an
indoor carnival which proved wonderful
success and made friends for the associa-
ton. Although during the year encourag-
ing support was received both from many
local people and q number of Wilmington
business men the directors felt that under
the circumstances it would be next to Inn
possible to raise sufficient funds to carry
on the work for another year, so decided
TO suspend. An effort was made during
the summer to get several other towns
interested in a county 'Y'' proposition
but this failed.
The armory will be turned over to the
State Armory Commission on October IL.
The shuffleboard, which gave enjoyment
to many during the winter and spring
probably will be loaned TO the soldiers 81
the rehabilitation division, Linden Hall
and some OF the athletic equipment will
likely be given to the high school.
