BOLD THIEF TAKES
TIRES OFF CAR

Mr.. Walter Smith, living just
west of the fair ground, went out
to his garage, hard by his dwelling,
on last Monday morning to crank
up his car to come to town-but 10!
and behold! two tires were missing
one from the front and one from
the rear wheel. Both were brand
new tires and Mr.. Smith says that,
while he regrets his personal loss,
he must hand it to the thief for his
better judgment in taking good
tires while he was at the job.
The tires were taken some time
during Sunday night. Both were
inflated and mounted on the wheels,
Just as Walter left 'em when re-
turning from church Sunday.
This is the second robbery in that
immediate vicinity within recent
months and resident of that COM
munity are growing tired of it.

PRAYS TO
Be EQUAL TO TASK
Candidate Pleased at His Sus-
cess, But Not Exultant. Not
Personal Victory.

Marion, Nov. 3.-Convinced by
early returns of his election to the
presidency, Warren G. Harding is
sued statement tonight saying that
instead of being exultant over the
result, he was "more given to
prayer to God to make me capable
Of playing my part"
The senator's statement follows:
Assuming that the early re-
turns are wholly dependable, ] do
not hesitate to say that I am
pleased. Of course, / am happy to
utter my gratitude. But / am not
exultant. It is not personal VIC
tory. 1t is renewed expression of
confident Ambricanism and a ma
tional call to the Republican party.
"It is all so serious, the obliga-
lions are so solemn that instead of
exulting l am more given to prayer
to God to make me capable of play
ing my part and that all these calls
to responsibility may meet the
expectations of America and the
world.
II am sure the people who have
voted the Republican ticket will
understand my feeling that
should make no unstudied statement
of politics at this time, beyond the
expression made throughout the
campaign"
I Coincidentally with the senator's
statement, Harry NJ. Daugherty, &
member of the republican campaign
committee, made this statement
here:
at is the greatest victory Ameri
can politics, clearly forecast ant
predicted. 1t is more than par
, tisan victory as the result was con
tributed to by millions of democrats
The women of the nation have
quickly indicated the comforting
of the suffrage privilege as they
sensed correctly the issues and raj
lied to the cause of America anc
American institutions. The repub
. lican party is fully conscious Of thf
} great responsibilities implied in thi
- popular verdict and will faithful!

LARGE AUDIENCE
IS ENLIGHTENED
Representative Garrett Clari-
flies Situation by Able Ad-
dress Here Monday

If there was anyone in the
crowded court room who did not at
the beginning Of FINS CARROTS ad-
dress on Monday, understand the
League of Nations functioning,
surely he went away fully informed,
for Garrett made the issue so plain
that even a child might understand
what the League Of Nations means
to the world.
The court room was filled with
both democrats and republicans. 1t
had been announced that Mr.. An
derson, an able republican speaker
of Memphis, would be here, but he
missed his train, or something, and
many republicans assembled in the
court room. Mr.. Garrett was the
only speaker, holding the rapt at
tention of the large audience for
an hour and a half. The able
statesman stated in the beginning
that it was not his purpose to say
one word that would give Offense
to his republican friends, to whom
he was delighted to explain the
League of Nations; that it would
be a sad day for America when
there should be but one political
party. He further stated that the
great masses of republicans had
nothing to do wieh the making OF
Of the republican national platform,
which failed % endorse the League
of Nations, and therefore, his
Weakley county republican friends
could not be charged with the deed
Mr.. Garrett did not dwell upon
his own race. He did, however
point with pride to the splendid
record of Gov. Roberts, explaining
the operations of the tax laws anc
urging democrats to support Gov
Roberts in his efforts to pull pool
old Tennessee out Of the rut. Their
Mr.. Garrett launched out into
discussion of the greatest issue
confronting American people In al
hundred years. He showed how thu
Tooo,e of Nations was formed by
President Wilson, in conference
with leading republican and demo
cratic statesmen prior to the presl
dent sailing for Europe; how thes'
republicans (Taft and Root AM
Roosevelt and Wickersham ct ais
and democratic statesmen ha'
agreed with the president upon tn
verv issues they now so vigor
Ously denounce; how, after thes
saw what the adoption Of the Leag
ne of Nations meant to the demo
cratic party and to President Wilson
thew made a party issue of it; hoV
Il had been misconstrued and mis-
represented, and so on.
Garrett called attention to tn
nations which have embraced tn
League of Nations and those whlc
have not, the latter including Mex
CO. Germany, Turkey, Soviet Rus
STA, etc., and asked his audienc
how they liked our company II
showed that the plan @Or prom DUN
world peace was the disarmament
If all the nations so that Their
would be nothing with which t
wage war; how the nations OF tn
cart are to arbitrate all differ
ences; that if one nation violate
the agreement then all the othei
were to withdraw support-sul
plies, etc.
The address was not so much
political one as it was in the natur
Of q lecture shedding light upO
the biggest question ever con1ron
inc the American people. Their
was nothing said by the speake
that could possibly give Offenee
anv one Of any political shade

SURPRISES IN TUES
DAYS ELECTION
Strong Democratic Districts in
County Return Republican
Majorities, Tuesday.

mo uSS w CAy1 DoSo' W. O'N viz
best we possibly could, and We have
the satisfaction of knowing that we
democrats will have just as good
president and governor as our re-
publican friends. And we have an
opportunity of being a darn sight
more loyal to him than many Of
the republican party leaders have
been toward the retiring president.
There were many surprises in
Tuesdays election. For instance,
both the Sixth and the Twentieth
districts, normally strong demo-
cratic districts, gave majorities for
the republican ticket. But that
good old rock-ribbed Seventeenth
district, the home of the Vincints,
the. Taylors and numerous other
good democrats, remained steadfast
in the faith. And the women (God
bless themD of that district helped
to swell the democratic victory in
that district.
In another place in today's paper
is given the tabulated vote as best
it could be obtained. There was
so much interest in national re-
suits that it has been next to i'm
possible to obtaining all the county
vote. In the floterial race, for in
stance, the vote of Weldon and
Tuck is lost sight of, but we are
sure of Weldon's election, though
young Tuck ran a good race.
In the Dresden district many wo-
men voted, including some very ell
DERBY women, some voting the DEM
ocratic and some the grand old par
tv ticket. One aged woman, after
devoting one hour and thirty-three
minutes to preparing her ballot fol
the republican nominees, voted the
solid democratic ticket from stem
to stern. She thought she mus
place a cross Ky mark opposite the
names she did not want to vote for
which she did, and when her vot'
was counted it went to Cox, Rob
erts, Garrett and the other demo
cratic nominees.
In the Sixth district the womel
out-voted the men, IS men and IL
women voting, returning a repub
lican majority.
Already in Dresden there ar
279 applicants for the post office
each one cock-sure of appointment
For some days prior to the cleo
ton local democratic leaders ha,
conceded the election of Harding
consoling themselves and their in
innate friends with the thought tina
the next four years will be a storm
period, during which the recon
struction will take place, and tina
the party in power will encounter
rough and rocky road, and that

ing except the solid south.

Republicans have made
many gains in both houses of

legislation they may wish. On
this score the country is to be

Just before going to press Thurs
day, the Enterprise got in touch
with the Nashville Banner over the
long distance telephone. The Ban
ner informs the Enterprise that a
late count gives Harding the state
by 5000, while Taylor's majority
is estimated at $4,000. The Ban
ner had returns from practically all
the counties.
All day Wednesday kilograms
we're coming to Dresden from lead
ers of both political parties at Nash
vile, the republicans claiming the
state for Taylor all the way from
5000 to 10000; while the demo-
Gratis claimed the election of Gov.
Roberts by 10000.
It was claimed that Gordon
Browning had been defeated in the
Eighth congressional district by Lon
Scott Of Paris; that John A. Moon
had been defeated by his republican
opponent in the Chattanooga dis
trict. Democrats denied both these
claims.
This is the second time since 1851
hat Tennessee has given her cleo
toral vote to the republican party.

New York, Nov. 3.-Republican
control of congress for another two
years, with an increased house ma
iority and a prospective increase
in the senate, was a major part OF
of the election sweep.
A net gain of twenty in the house
was shown sith complete returns
from only seventeen states, but
with most of the democratic strong
holds reporting.
Eight of the fifteen republican
senatorial candidates had come in
winners today, the seven others had
substantial leads, while in ten other
states all of the republican en-
trants were reported in the van.
For the nineteen democratic sem
ate seats, nine of the minority par
ty had been returned winners-all
from southern states-while in the
border and western states the others
were fighting an uphill battle.

There are 579,756 women more than
81, of whom 73,413 are negroes.
Taking the census of 1910 as a
basis there are approximately 29,750,-
900 possible women voters in the
United States. This leaves differ
ence of 100000 in favor of men
voters. In the last presidential cleo
ton, that of 1916, the actual num-
Der of votes cast for all presidential
candidates was 1S,52S,743, emitting
ballots thrown out for cause.
Eagerness of women to exercise
their newly acquired privileges may
more than offset disparity in numbers
between sexes when allowance
made for the IL 10000 votes that re-
manned unregistered in the last cleo
ton, due mostly to Indifference.
Women of voting age outnumber
the men in five States. Massachu-
sets has the greatest preponderance
of women voters with 5S,264 more
women than men. North Carolina
next with a woman's majority of 49,

is third. In Rhode Island women of
voting age outnumber the men by
1896, and in Maryland by 1889.

COSTLY RAILROAD
WILL Be DISMANTLED
Will Suspend Service On
Line Built To Tap
Rich Gold Field

Cripple Creek, Col, May BE
cause gold production in this camp,
one of the greatest of Colorado bonan-
zas a decade ago, has dwindled in the
past few months to very low ebb, a
section of the Colorado Springs and
Cripple Creek railroad may suspend
operations and its trackage and
equipment junked.
The railroad, known to many thou
sands of tourists throughout the
country as the "Short Line" probably
cost more money per mile for con-
struction than any railroad in the
United States. 1t is estimated that
$4,000 was expended for each of the
forty-five miles of railroad.
Receiver George N. Taylor. for the
road. will petition the Federal Dis
trict Court for permission to discon-
tinue service, with the view, it is ex-
pected, that the line eventually will
be junked.
Depression in the mining business
of the Cripple Creek gold camp is
given as the reason for closing the
railroad, which was built a score of
years ago by New York financiers at
a cost of more than $50, 900, to
get the rich gold ores from the mines
here to reduction mills.
Altho the Short Line hauled mil
lions upon millions of dollars worth
of gold ore, It was probably better
known as a scenic line, and its con-
struction was considered one of the
greatest engineering feats of the late
nineties. Thru mountains, along
precipices and across chasms II was
built, regardless of cost. Practical
ly all the way the ties were laid on
solid rock The finest and heaviest
steel rails were used and the road
was provided with the best equip
ment obtainable.
The announced plan of the receiv-
er is to run a brief scenic trip" over
a section of the road during the COM
ing summer, disseminating passenger
service over the remainder as soon as
permission is granted by the courts.
