"At San Francisco the voice of
delegates selected upon this issue will
have great weight in the national
counsels of our great party; delegates
born of popularity contest involv-
ing no great issue of principle will be
voiceless in expressing an authentic
message from their own state con-

"a. AS a nominal candidate for
nomination by Georgia alone, would
only regard myself as 'camouhage'
candidate, and victory in the primary
would practically clothe me only with
power to transfer the delegates Of
my designation to the support of

tial nomination.
Believing in the right and duty
of the people to select the leader who
must bear the party standard in the
national contest, | am unwilling to
locally lead sham battle in a fruit
less contest which would isolate our
state from the real battles of the ma
tional democracy, and in which the
goal of victory would be factional
and not party achievement, local and
not national success.

1nNNEsorA,s SEVENTH DISTRICT

Out Of the wreck which over
| whelmed their movement in Mime
sofa at the primary election the
Townleyttes pulled an occasional min
or candidate. one Of them Rev. o.
~. Kvale, who was nominated as the
Republican candidate for congress
over the present incumbent. A. J.
volstead. This victory was made the
occasion for much rejoicing, inasmuch
as there was not much else to rejoice
over.
The fact Is hat the nomination Of
the Seventh district preacher was
directly due to the support given
him by the liquor element in the dis
trict. Congressman volstead is the
author Of the federal prohibition en-
forcement law, which is decidedly
unpopular with topers and liquor
dealers. These gentry determined to
ret rid Of volstead. whose bill they
do not like. The ca siest method which
presented itse:f was to defeat him
for the nomination, hence he liquor
element IN the district lined itself up
solidly with Nj. Kvale.
Whether this element will support
It's preacher candidate in the fall
election or will turn in and help elect
the Democratic candidate is some
thtng which can only be determined
with. certainty in November. In the
meantime, q good many people have

U~NEQUALLY YokED.

Whatever may be the outcome OF
the gathering Of irreconcilables al
Chicago, it is quite evident that no
union on one platform and in support
OF one ticket a develop cordial re-
latlons among the discordant forces
which have undertaken the atiou
OF a new political party and the sup.
port Of a new national ticket. The
radicals represented in the labor grouu
will have no fellow feeling for the
men Of wealth and substance who
have been active in shaping the a..
fairs Of the committee of forty-eight,
and the latter will have no enthusi-
asm for the extremists who are to be
found in the other camp. The rad
icab will tolerate the existence of the
other fellows as sources Of supplies
m the latter will go through the
form Of cooperation with the radicale
for the sake Of votes. But there viii
be . feeling Of enn,ity and antagonisun,
as between aristocracy and proletari-

GERMANS AND COAL.

Tho Germans have made a plaust-
bic plea for the modification Of the
demAnd0 Of tho entente for the delfv-
cry OF coal under the terms Of the
peace treaty. They point out that
under the treaty they are required to
mako large payments Of money; that
they cannot make these payments
unless they can produce goods: and
that their factories cannot turn out
goods unless they have coal With
which 10 operate. Therefore, they
point out. to demand the surrender
Of large quantities. o" coa month by
month IL to place an i~nsuperable OBJ
stacie in the way Of the fufd,ment of
the other terms OF the treaty.
Tho logic is fawleN. The Ger
mans have delivered themselves Of
some excellent logic since the sdgning
Of tho peace treaty. In regard to
practically every important matter
that has arisen in connection with the
carrying out Of the terms of the treaty
they have shown in an irreproachable
manner that It should not and could
not be done. That is. the conclusions
have been correct provided the prem
ises were granted.
The trouble Is that in So many
tho Germans have He'd about
the premises that they have thrown
an atmosphere Of suspicion around
every subject that they have discussed,
and the point has been reached where
every statement which they make 10
discounted on the presumption that
they are merely trying to put ONE

In the conference at Spa the Allied
representatives havc exhibited greater

 As we gather in the evening
 When the long days work is done,
 How we listen for that voice.
 Of that dear remembered one.
 Then we sadly ask each other:
 "Who can ever fill his place ?"
 And our hearts do yearn within us
 For one look on his dear face.
 Farewell, father, thou has left us.
 Here thy loss we deeply feel,
 But it is God who hath bereft us;
 He can all our sorrows heal. Adv. A Friend.

BONDED WAREHOUSE.

The farmers of the bonded ware house held a meeting last Saturday afternoon and reported progress on this enterprise. After a good deal of discussion of the points of law as how Ito run bonded warehouse. the tenn porary directors selected 6 man to solicit the capital stock ($3000), to build a warehouse for Cove. Over
 $500 was secured that evening. This
 bonded warehouse is one of the best things that could be built in Cove. It will do more good for more people
 than a new railroad. Let everybody take one, three, five or ten shares. Only $5 per share, to be paid in June. Hove your mind made up when the salesman calls on you to take 5 or 10 shares and help Cove grow. The gen. eral Agent of the Kansas City South ern, George Helm, of Texarkana, the
 man who recommends the location of
 buildings of this kind was here Mon day and assured us good location for the warehouse. He also will recom- mend stock pens and loading sheds for Cove. Just the thing that Cove needs
 now for the wonderful growing busi- ness that Cove has. Also Mr. Helm will recommend the new locate on for
 teh new depot that Cove is needing so
 badly to accommodate the growing
 business that comes from the west
 some 25 miles in Oklahoma. Some
 eight towns get their mail from Cove
 and most all their freight is drayed
 out from Cove and with so many new
 people settling here and developing this country, making new homes and
 building better roads, Cove is going to
 be bright spot in Polk county. This
 the home of the strawberry and all kinds of vegetables. Good fresh air and pure water. Move to Cove and
 Polk county. Get home and enjoy life.
