Wells and Judge O'Connor, democratic
aspirants, constitute a very respect
able total for the 'wets,' as the cam
paigns of all three of those candidates
were predicated wholly upon their an
t~i-prohibition platforms"
Elm the opinion of close political OBJ
servers" says the Billings Gazette,
1.-The light wines and beer issue was a
.dud' SO far as the Montana primary
campaigns was concerned. In other
words, it is doubtful II the matter was
given any thought whatever by the ma
jority of voters who candidates ordl-
narily would class as VETS The only
indication that the wet or dry issue en-
tered into the voting at all, is the fact
that Scott Leavitt of Great Falls. a n
didate for the republican nomination
for congress in the Second district and
who was openly endorsed by the state
Anti-Saloon league, has apparently
been nominated over Burlingame. Mel
Their Leavitt nor Burlingame made any
public procurement on the wet ano
dry ISSUE"
"One of the outstanding features OF
the vote was the unpopularity or anti
nroh;hition candidates" SAYS .the New
Northwest of Missoula. "Wells and
O'Connor received only a scattering
vote in the democratic race for senator
while Siegfriedt was low man ON the
republican ticket. Byron Cooney Of
Butte was the only i-Volstead can
didate who demonstrated any strength.
Although the primary was not a test
in which lines were closely drawn on
the subject of prohibition, for the rea'
son that the public did not appear ia
consider it a paramount issue says the
Butte Miner, sit must be said that the
vote indicated at least that sentiment
in Montana has not changed to any ap-
preciable extent from that expressed
at the polls when the state went dry
1.-THE outcome in our own case
r to a~ccentuate the fact that Mon,
| tana is one of the last and one OF the
least of the constituencies that car
set up a howl about the Eighteenth
amendment as a device that means IN
w%arrantable federal interference witt
our personal rights, says the Butte
Post. There are states that can dc
that with a measure of consistency, but
we Montanans make ourselves ridicu'
Ious when we undertake to echo that
plant. Montana went completely dry
before the Eighteenth amendment was
heard of. We were not dragged in; we
deliberately voted our own state dry
| before Volstead's name lad ever beer
mentioned to any of us. Montana, By
it's own action. became dry Jan. /, 1919
but we decided to do that and fixed tht
date for it before federal Legislation
was in definite form.

'TThe socalled wet vote doesn't vote
as it talks. 1t just talks" is the crisp
way the Helena Independent, which is
believed to be a wet" newspaper. com
ments on the bad showing the vets
made in the primary election in Mon
tana last month.
There is, after all is said and done,
q tremendous dry sentiment in Mon
tana," say Byron Cooney, editor OF
the Butte Montana American, who was
a "wet" candidate for the democratic
nomination for congress in the First
district. Republicans and democrats
are still drinking whisky and voting dry.
Until this condition is relieved the peo-
pie will have dry representatives in
their halls of state" Mr.. Cooney re-
fers to his former statement that both

cratic and republican candidates for

American
Os|)legiion

| On Tuesday night delegation from
| the John D. Mathis Post, No. 2, Amer
lean Legion, visited Plains at the invi-
! tation of ex-service men in that conn
munity. The meeting as held in the
Masonic hall, and was attended by
representative ex-service men from
Plains and the western part of the
county. DIR. Bowman J. Wise pre-
sided at the meeting. After making
brief talk in which he outlined the
purposes of the American Legion, he
introduced Major James A. Fort, COM
mander, Georgia department, and
several other speakers. After hear
ing the speakers, the matter of form
Il ing a post at Plains or joining the
John D. Mathis Post, No. 2, at Amer
icus was debated and voted on. 1t
was decided to join the John D. Ma
TINS Post, No. 2 at this time, and
later on, if it is deemed advisable,
to organize post at Plains.
Z. M. Oliver, recently of Akron,
Ohio, talked interestingly about the
American Legion at that place and
its possibilities here. Alton Carter
spoke briefly on the policies of the
Legion in Georgia. E. d.. Brannen
expressed himself as being in favor
of one big, strong post in this county
that would be representative of all
parts of the county.
The meeting lasted for more than
two hours and all who attended went
away interested and enthusiastic, and
determined to make the American
Legion a real force for good in the
community. Short talks were made
by Messrs. Fort, Ewing, Cox, Craw-
ford, McLendon and others.
The next meeting outside of Amer
icus is expected to be held at Leslie.

DEAR THELMA:

DEAR THELMA:
Here's good story. Course 7
can't call names, but some TIM
Ill whisper it in your little old ear
Christmas week certain nerv.
GUS gentleman living in our citv
took a trip to neighboring VILLAGE
1t was late when ne started and
he hired one of the best taxi Nor
III this section.
You see here, Mr.. Take Man"
SAID our nervous friend as thnv
pulled out of Americas, we've pnt
TO pass through bad stretch of
woods. There's lots of these hold
up men on the roads now. If any
one tries to stop US, you shoot the
gas to the old car and ride-stan
on it."
And Sure 'nough, when the
stretch of woods was reached. our
friend saw car parked across the
road, and an individual standing in
the center of the road waving a
lantern.
See here, Taxi Man," said our
friend, How much do | owe Won
for this trip-there and back?'
Ten dollars is my fee, but I'm
in no hurry for the money. You
can pay next week." said the driver
mo; here's your money. We're
going to be held up and I'll save
that much anyway. It'll be your
loss; not mine"
Tho cor cIo1,toJ Jo,,,.. r..
sity, and stopped. A man poked
his head in the curtains and said:
"Any ladies, in this buss?"
mo, there amt any ladies, and
what do you want?'
well" said the supposed ban
dit, as he withdrew his arm for
second, then thrust it in the car
again. "Well, bein' as there amt
no ladies in your car, and bein as
it's Christmas, friend, have
drink" And he uncorked a bottle
of red liquor.
Now, Thelma, dear, isn't that
good story? It's true, for the
Taxi Man told me while was
vulcanizing his tires. He said:
Jimmie, it's a good thing those
fellows parked their car across
the road, otherwise we would have
passed them at 80 miles an hour.
The old car was running fine, you
had just inspected my tires and
nothing on earth could have stop
ped us but closing the road.
The phone ringing. Some ones
calling five-o-six. Lots of folks
have found out how much the
Americas Steam Vulcanizing com
pany can save them by giving us
their vulcanizing. Our years of ex-
perience are bringing results.

plant, Yours JIMMIE.

WATCH OUT FOR COLDS
THAT LEAD TO FLU
A Simple Way To Guard Against

If you have ever had the "flu'
you know that for several years aft
erwards, you are far more suscep-
tible to colds and coughs. Influenza
with its severe draining of vital re-
sources leaves the respiratory or
gans in greatly weakened condi-
ton. They have lost much of their
power of resistance and you are apt
to be sneezing and coughing at every
change of weather unless you take
precautionary measures. q.
At the very first symptom of a
cold, take promptly, to two four
teaspoonfuls of DR.. Cheney's Ex-
pectorant. Get the best of that cold
long before it has an opportunity to
get he best of you. DR.. Cheney's
Exepctorant has warded off colds for
over sixty years,-an honest and eff
fective remedy that has withstood
the test of three generations.

OMEGA SWANS
DEFENSE FAILS
jury Quickly Convicts Him OF
Stabbing Phone Operator
8 Who Angered Him

MOULTRIE, Jan. 20.-Ed Smith,
prominent young man of Omega, in
.dicted for assault with intent to
murder, was CONVICTED by jury in
Colquitt Superior court late Thurs
day for a lesser offense-unlawful
stabbing of arotheH.' Smith was not
sentenced, but will be later in the
week.
The Indictment against Smith grew
out of eight that he had with James
Wilson, telephone operator at Nor
man Park. Witnesses swore that
Smith. became angered when he tried
to talk with girl going to school at
Norman Park and was told that the
dormitory phone was out of service
and that he cursed Wilson, who was
the night operator at Norman Park.
That same night he got in his car, it
was asserted and drove to Norman
Park and after finding Wilson on
the street renewed the quarrel. Be
fore the town marshal, who was
standing nearby, could intervene Viii
son was stabbed twice.
In his statement to the jury Smith
told of his attempt to get the girl
over the telephone and admitted that
he accused the operator of lying when
he was told that the phone was dead.
He said that Wilson then called him
vile name over the wire. 81 told
Wilson that ] would be down to Nor
man Park in few minutes" the de
PENDANT said, "and Wilson then said
you had better come prepared, for /
will be-" Smith denied using his
knife on Wilson, but said that he
struck him twice in the fight, which
occurred on the street in front of a
Norman Park drug stored. He de-
clared that he didn't go to Norman
Park to renew the quarrel, but that
he went to. drive two young ladies
through the country from Norman
Park to Omega and decided while
he was at Norman Park to see Will
son. The trial of the case consumed
all day, the jury returning verdict
In less than half an hour.

O'BRIEN TROUPE
PLEASES HERE
Hardly Up To Standards Of
Other Ministries, But Audience
Liked Il

Neil O'Brien's MINISTRIES pleased
large crowd at the Rylander theater
last night To the writer the per-
Torrance did not seem quite up to
the standard of the other MINISTRIES
that have been here this season. The
company lacked good voices, the or
chestra was hardly as smooth and
sweet-toned, and the comedians were
not quite as clever. The scenic eff
fects were nothing unusual, although
good.
Perhaps the writer's taste is bit
faded, after all, for the production
appeared to please the audience inn
mensely. Every act and every turn
was applauded vociferously, which, Of
course, pleased the company and the
management, for they strive to
please.
! Neil O'Brien, for many years fav-
orite end man, and long his own
chief comedian, is not with the COM
pany this season. But the program
contains typical O'Brien skit, writ
ten and staged by him, that causes
constant roars of laughter.
The first part contains more songs
by the comedians than the harmony
crew, which caused no apparent re-
grets, for it permitted some mirth-
making antics and sprightly dancing.
The only voice that exhibited any
marked merit in this part was that
of Ed Larson, bell-like tenor, who
sang, "I'n Take You Home Again,
Kathleen"
Part 2 was .O'Bnen's skit, "The
Sleepless Sleeper" or "The Tip.ess
Porter" with Jack Smoke Gray,
Joe Carroll, and others. 1t was IN
two scenes, the second being the IN
terror of Pullman car, with Sc
ries of side-splitting situations.
Joe Carroll and Pete Detzel put
on a good farce vaudeville act la
belled "The Sound Cure" which gave
Detzel, who proved a great laugh
producer, opportunity to exhibit his
best ability.
"The Highbrow Masquerade" offer
ed a contest of two quartets and
some dancing, The program con
cluded with a skit, &Wood Alcohol,
in four scenes, the whole roar, with
all the comedians of the company
participating.
A novelty before the last number
was the appearance of Lillian Bell
and Alma Arliss in coon songs. The
audience apparently thought they
were female impersonators, but when
wigs were removed revealing long
locks the illusion was disPelled.
The next attraction at the Ry-
lander will be John Golden's splendid
play with songs, Dear Me" starring
Grace LaRue and Hale Hamilton, on
next Thursday night. w. S. K.
