PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER

THERE appears to be no dearth of candidates for
i the nomination for the presidency of the United
States before the conventions of the two great
political parties, which will be held at Chicago for
the Republicans and at Atlanta City for the Demo-
Gratis. next June. We do not recall presidential
campaign in which there were so many open can
didates for the nominations as there are this year,
which goes to prove that politics going to be
usually interesting and sensational this year. The
political parties have been organizing and getting up
momentum for some time past and after the national
conventions have been held. the muterng storms will
break in deafenng roar OF oratory and defamation
that will echo and reverberate from coast to coast
and thrill every town and hamlet with its intensity.
Following is partial list of the men thus far
mentioned or conducting open and aggressive cam.
paigns for the nomination of president to succeed
Woodrow Wilson:
General Leonard Wood. of the u S. Army; Frank
| O. Lowden. of Illinois, Senator Hiram Johnson OF
California; General John J. Pershing Senator Miles
Poindexter of Washington, ct. AL, Republicans.
William G. McAdoo of New York; Robert Lans-
ing. of New York, now Secretary OF State Newton d.
Baker, of Ohio. Secretary of War, Woodrow Wilson
the present incumbent ct. al, Democrats.
1t is the privilege of every native born son OF
America to aspire to the presidency of the United
States, but unfortunately only one man can occupy
the position at time. Therefore there is bound to
be large number disappointed this year.

IN times like these we have an excellent oppor-
tunity to show the kind of stuff we are made Of
whether we really Good Samaritan or merely
selfish creature in which the animal propensites pre-
dominate. There is lot of sickness and trouble in
town. and the call has gone out for volunteers
men and women to nurse the afflicted, for contribu-
tons OF beds. bedding, food, etc. to equip the emer
gency hospital established at the district school build
ing 1t is time when everyone should do his or her
part, willingly, unselhshy and ungrudgingly.

ALL our plans and calculations have been upset
by the appearance here again of our dread enemy,
the FLU. The new hotel, bank building, new stores,
opening of canyon roads, and even the railroad are
matters of secondary consideration until the deadly
invader is beaten and expelled. Schools have been
discontinued churches dismissed the B. A. {. Farm
ers Roundup postponed, farm machinery demon
sraton called off, business restricted to the neces-
Sites no one being interested in glad rags and other
baubles. In short. the only thing for the present
regarded as worth while is the control Of the flu
And everybody expected to do his or her part both
in assisting with the problem of caring for the sick,
and in preventing the spread of the maady.
