CAR BACKS INTO BUGGY;
NO ONE SERIOUSLY HURT

TIL. Farmer, jr., son of T. H
Farmer, of Martin, while driving his
car on the streets of Martin, ran by
the street that he wished to turn
down and upon backing up to make
the turn backed the car into a bug
gy, occupied by Mrs. Ernie Elder
and small son, also Mrs. Tomlinson,
smashing one of the wheels and
throwing the occupants Of the buggy
to the ground. Although badly
shaken up, no one was seriously in

There is no question that the cre-
dentials committee is functiohing IN
a most effective way from Lowden
viewpoint. Wood managers openly
charge that the committee has been
packed in Lowden's interest. They
complain bitterly Of the manner in.
which the committee "rides rough

contestants in southern states and
seat the Lowden delegates" -.
1t is true that the committee this
morning did seat the two delegates
from the District of Columbia who
were personally chosen by Frank
Hitchcock as Wood supporters. But
there the case was merely one Of
recognizing the regularly accredited
republican organization, and the
committee could scarcely do other
wise than give the seats to the Wood
men. Hence the Wood managers
give but scant praise to the commit
tee for it's decision in this particular
case, although it was to their adj
vantage.
Lowden's interests in the creden-
tials committee are being looked af-
ter by A. T. Hert Of Kentucky, Bas-
com Slemp of Virginia and Joe
Healing of Indiana. They are ever
active in the efforts to sway the
committees decision in the interest
of their candidate.

INCREASE FOR
POSTAL CLERKS
IS ADVOCATED

Washington, May 31.-A joint
congressional commission today rec
commended salary increases for postal
employees for July /. The advances
would amount to approximately $780,
10000 the first year.
The report provides increases from
$3.50 to $3.50 annually for postal
clerks and letter carriers, with $40O
for supervisory officers. Postmas-
tiers of the first class receiving
above $4,000 would not be granted
increases.
For rural deliverey carriers the
commission recommended $1,000 for
a camille route and an additional
$50 for each mile in excess of that
distance. Motor route carriers COW
ering SO miles or more would not
receive in excess of $4,000. The
pay of village delivery carriers
would be from $1,000 to $1,000.
Should the recommendations of the
commission, based on hearings held
in various parts of the country, be
adopted, clerks at first and second
class postoffices as well as city car
riers would be divided into five
classes, with those in the first class
receiving $1,4OO annually and 500
added for each class. Substitutes
and temporary clerks would receive
60 cents an our, while special clerks
would be paid from $1,000 to $4,000
annually. Watchmen, messengers
and laborers would be divided into
two grades, the first to receive
$3.50 and the second $1.45O.

FARMERS PICNIC
MAKES A HIT
DEMONSTRATES THEIR ABILITY
TO PROVIDE ENTERTAIN
MENT OF A HIGH ORDER

The Audubon County Farm Bur-
eau picnic last Tuesday will go down
in history as one of the greatest
days that the county has had in
many year. 1t was the first annu-
al picnic OF the organization and was
managed and carried out to a sue
cessful conclusion by various com
mittees appointed from their mem.
bership.
j The day was an ideal one and
proved that the committee exer-
cised good judgment in deciding on a
cate. for the following day it rained
continuously.
The festivities began at eleven
o'clock when headed by the Audubon
hand the parade of floats started up
Brpadway and around the park
First following the parade was a
float by the Farm Bureau, then
then came Greeley township with a
number of floats representing the
products of the township: Next
came Melville township with num-
her of floats prinipally devoted to
the porduts of the farm. One large
float was as artistically arranged as
anything we have ever seen. The
third in. line was Douglas township
Their showing was more diversified
than any of the other displays. Not
only was the products of the farm
well displayed, but the church and
school were represented by floats
The other feature was the progress
made in farming implements,
There was a squad of Indians fol-

the COW boys. Then came the old
breaking pillow, cradle, harvester,
binder, Fordson tractor and the air
plane. Another float carried a
number of the old settlers. AS the
parade proceeded up Broadway, the
church choir sang songs, all of
which helped to make the parade
very attractive The last in line
was Viola township which specialize
ed in Consolidated Schools" four
of their buses carrying large signs
representing the township. The
buses were filled with children, all
Of which impressed the people with
the idea that Viola township led all
others in the matter of schools.
A prize was offered by the Farm
Bureau for the best representation
in the parade. Douglas township
carried off the honor. During the
afternoon Chairman e. B. Thomas
presented the loving cup to M. ID.
Graves, Douglas township president,
who in few well chosen words re-
sponded n behalf of the township.
( Mr.. Graves wishes US to state that
ne desires to thank every one in
the township for the hearty CO.

making the showing the grand sue

WHO is WET
WHO Is DRY
WET AND DRY ISSUE TO BE I'M
PoRTANT FACTOR In PRES
mENTIAL CAMPAIGN

There is communication on the
desk of Senator Harding and
similar one on the desk of Governor
Cox which soon will have an i'm
portant bearing on the campaign.
These communications deal with pro-
hibition.
This wet versus dry issue will not
down II will come up again and
again. Specifically, IL win be
brought to the front again by an
event which win happen on or about
September 18th.
The anti-saloon league has made
up a record of the public acts and
expressions of Harding and Cox on
prohibition. These two records
have been sent to Cox and Harding
with letters asking each Of them IL
his record as made up represents
the facts and IL he has anything adj
ditional to say. In the letters trans
hitting these documents the two
candidates have been told that the
records are to be made public Sep
TENDER 18th, or soon thereafter,
and that IL the candidates have any
thing to say in qualification of the
reports they should answer by Sep
TENDER 18th.
The writer has not seen these
two records as made up but suspects
that while, OF course they will be
literal and accurate transcripts OF
the records, they, will not really
show the distinction between Hard
ing and Cox on this dry issue 10
clearly as is shown by many things
less official but more convincing.
The truth is there is some politics
in the anti-saloon league. The
birthplace OF the league is Ohio and
it still cuts a larger figure in that
state than anywhere else. II It
were a mere matter of Ohio alone,
there is little doubt that the anti
saloon league would help Harding
and oppose Cox. But in the role Oh
national institution, the anti-sa-
loon league includes a good many
leaders from the south who are
democrats. These democrats wan&
to avoid injuring their party, and
the result has been this compro-
mise of merely publishing the re-
cords OF the two men.
Regardless OF what these records
NAV say, the fact Is that In the eyes
OF the country Cox is becoming in
creasingly identified with the ex-
treme vets. He cannot possibly al
ford to allow this to go on unless he
Is willing to avow that position and
take its penalties with its assets.
In fact, IL he does not repudiate II
soon, Il may be expected that later
on in the campaign he win openly
avow It,
AS things now stand, the Liquor
Dealers Association of NeW Jersey
has stated officially to its members
that Governor Cox was materially

TEAM LOSES AND WINS

The Audubon base ball team went
to Coon Rapids last Sunday to con-
test for honors on the Coon Rapids
diamond. The home team had been
putting up a good line of base ball
and a large number of fans who ac-
companied the team had every reas-
on to believe they would win tins
game. The score was 2 to 8 in
favor of Coon Rapids
The Coon Rapids team played re-
turn game here Tuesday afternoon
in which Audubon was the winner
by score of 5 to 2. Clark and
Clark was the battery for Audubon,
Both teams played good ball and
gave the spectators all the entertain-
ment they needed.
Audubon will play Atlantic on the
home diamond next Sunday after
noon. This promises to be another
real live game and good attendance
is expected. #ft4

hours, after which they enjoyed a
smoker and boxing MATCH
In q. resolution that was passed

pensed durine he noon hour. The
farmers availed themselves of the
park and lawns over town whers
dinner was served.
At 1880 the program began in the
park with the rendering of music by
the band. z. B. Thomas, president
of the day, made short but pleas
ing address after which the Audubon
Landrum, Gay s. Thomas, Frank
G. Sampson and H. J. Hoogenakker,
rendered two selections.
Mr.. Thomas then in pleasing
manner introduced the speaker of
the day, E.. III. Cunningham of
Ames, secretary of the Iowa Farm
Federation. Mr.. Cunningham is a
fluent and ready speaker. He
knows the needs of the farm and
knows how to bring about the things
the farmers are most vitality inter-
ested in. We regret that we are
unable to publish his entire speech
for 1t was one of the best things we
have ever heard.
His remarks were well received
for time after time he hit the nail
squarely on the head. The farmers
and everyone present knew he had
a fund of information that wGs cor
rect.
Bluffs happened in the city for the
day and he was asked to take a seat
on the platform. He also ma9e a
short talk to his many old friends,
he having been a resident of Audi
bon some thirty years before remov-
ing to Council Bluffs. Many from
all parts of the county we're pleased
to see and hear Judge Green.
One of the interesting features of
the day was the exhibit of relics
from Douglas township, which was
placed in the park following the
parade. The show case contained a
Bible which contained names and
dates of births as far back as 1870.
This Mible was carried by Rev. G.
b. Christensen in the parade.
There were old letters from the
Methodist church under date OF
1853, also poll book containing
the names of the voters in township
back in 1875 before Lincoln and
Douglas townships were divided
The name of one voter who Is still
alive and living in the township is
James Hilsabeck. A chair, table
and four silver spoons were also in
the collection. The relics are the
property of M. d. Graves TO whom
they we're given by Mrs. Mar Bisnop
Graves.

ASKS FOR FAIR TRIAL
Echo of the Villisca Murder is Still
to BE Heard in October

Alleging that he cannot secure a
fair and impartial trial in Montgom-
cry, Mills, Page, Fremont or Cass
counties, Bert McCaull, charged
with. perjury in connection with the
testimony which he gave concern,
ing his whereabouts on the morning
mitted in 1912, asks that the coui,
grant him a change OF venue for the
trial of his case which will come up
in the October term of court.
The petition for the change of
venue was filed last week in the
clerks office at Red Oak by Nc
Caulps attorney, r. w. Beeson. The
petition asks for a change OF venue
from Montgomery and an amend
ment which was filed asks that the
case be not tried in any of the Other
four counties named. The petition
asks that the case be tried in any of
the other counties in the 18th judi
cial district.
McCaull was arrested early in the
spring on the charge of perjury af-
ter the grand jury had returned an
indictment against him. He was
released at that time after he had
furnished bail.
In the petition McCaull alleges
that he cannot secure fair and i'm
partial trial in Montgomery county
and other counties because of the
excitement and prejudice against
him." The petition also states
that the adherents of one Wilker-
son, pretended detective, are in
the majority and have been led bS
the said Wilkerson to believe that 1
am in some manner connected with
said murder" The petition states
that the supporters and adherents
of Wilkerson have been "enthusias
tic and active in their efforts to con-
vince people of Montgomery county
and the surrounding counties that F.
F. Jones and his son, Albert, were
implicated in the said murder, and
that I assisted them in the said muir
der" McCaull alleges that all mat
tiers pertaining to the indictment
which caused his arrest were thor
oughly threshed out in the suit OF
F. F. Jones VS.. J. M. Wilkerson in
October, 1916.
In the amendment which was
filed with the petition McCaull al
leges~ that WilkersoR made a great
many speeches in Montgomery and
in the surrounding counties and that
quite a little money was collected
and spent by the Montgomery Pro-
tective League. The petition inti-
mates that the people Of the other
counties have been Influenced
against McCaull because of these
talks.
