Raised on ranch near the border
between northern California and Ne
vada, where he was sent for his health
when a spindly youth, Bennison soon
acquired ar intimate knowledge of
the cowboy and his ways. He not only
learned to ride, rope and handle a
revolver with the familiarity of a
sleight-of-hand man, but absorbed the
very atmosphere Of the range. Benni-
sons years of experience in the ham
dlinb of cattle during his youth surely
stood him in good stead in the staging
of Sandy Burke of the U-Bar-U."
The star, besides playing his diff
cult role, took upon himself the task
of assembling three vast herds for the

Too Bad! Too Badl

This is the story told by New Or
leans gentleman attending the for
eign trade convention: A steamship
arriving from a French port had an
enterprising officer who saw fine OPP
portunity to profit through the dry
condition of the United States. He
put in a large stock of liquor, and
when the vessel arrived in New Or
leans had no trouble in getting in
touch with purchasers. They agreed
to pay on delivery.
The price was $1,000. The liquor
was passed over the ships side in
the middle of the night on to a small
vessel alongside and the $1,000 given
to the officer. The next day the seller
went to the bank to buy French ex-
changes. A few minutes later he was
doing two things at one time-tear-
ing his hair and swearing like troop
er. His $1,000 was Confederate
money.-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

ELLER WRITES ON
SHERIFF'S OFFICE

W. III. Eller has sent to the Free
Press from Ferdinand, under date OF

ton for publication:
Won't Stand Volstead's Test
In an article appearing in several
county papers, fathered and signed by
j. G.. Eimers, our present sheriff, again
repeating and publishing the same fig
ures that appeared before, all doctor
ed up to fit the occasion, at the
twelfth hour, when if appeared there
would be no chance for me to refute.
Now Jake, what IS the use, if the
people wouldn't believe your figures
before, 1t won t do any good to shoot
them out again. Your figures are all
right as far as they go, but they don It
go far enough. You only give the fig
ures where yours are low, and mine are
high, instead of giving them all as
did. Auditor Telcher gave them to me,
taken from the records; and Henry
Telcher won't lie. Now Jake, you
want to gamble with me-want to put
up $500, which is not right, as I am
not gambling man, and besides, you
as sheriff should endeavor to prohibit
gambling, instead of encouraging it.
You spoke of me spending 800 for
auto hire, going to a Fourth of July
celebration. You certainly have had
swivel chair pipe dream, for that is
not true, and the records do not show
it.
You also accuse me of tasting the
booze in the Lindsey case, which is
not true; but viii say this, that you

STATEMENT BY F. E. FOGG
ON ELECTION ISSUES

The greatest issue of this campaign
as I view it is the direct primary
against the convention system. In
other words shall the people rule. or
be ruled by a political machine.
The direct primary is a Democratic
principle, expressly pledged to the
people in the Democratic state plat
form and advocated and defended bv
every Democratic candidate for con-
gress and by the Democratic candidates
for state senator and representatives
and by every Democratic candidate
for county office. 1t is also a declared
principle of the Progressive party. and
IS supported also by U. s. Senator
Borah, and by thousands of Progress
sive Republicans who refuse TO he
bound by the Republican machine. III
should be noted on the other hand
however, that Burton L. French. Re,
publican candidate for congress in this
district, is not, and never has been in
accord with Senator Borah, but is
allied irrevocably, apparently, with the
Gooding-Davis machine and with the re
dictionary Republicans in congress who
have no sympathy with measures de-
signed to relieve the burdens of the
common people.
