KANSAS FLAPPER CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR IS TO LEAD
 JAYHAVKERS TO LIBERTY

KANSAS CITY, Kan, July B. Shades of Carrie Nation!
 Western paradise of the prohibitionist; home of the anti cigarette law; bugbear of the shimmy shaking shoulder-is to hear the gospel of Tight wines, beer, iazZ smokes for women" preached from the political stump.
 For out of the West has come flapper to lead the Jayhawker to liberty" At least such is the claim of Helen Pettigrew, bobbed, blond and twenty-three, republican candj- date for the party nomination or governor. Miss Pettigrew, who lives in Kansas City, Kan, has filed for the nomination with the secretary Of state at Topeka.
 Hers is platform without prece- dent in the arid spaces of the state over which another woman-Carri2 Nation-romped with ax upraised.
 Miss Pettigrew outlined her plat form in her petition for a place on the ticket
 "Give, the people what they want!'
 Such, she says, is her one and only campaign slogan.

EAVORS LIGHT WINES.

She favors restoration of beer and light wine. She vows death to all blue laws-and Kansas has more than it's share. She champions jazz, the shimmy and the abbreviated skirt. She cries out against more war.
 Miss Pettigrew is but one of four teen republican candidates for the nomination.
 The great number to appear on the ticket at the primary August s gives her new hope of being victorious.
 My platform is simple the flap per candidate says ill explaining the things she, advocates.
 q sum it all up in saying, Give the people what they want!'
 Kansas is a wonderful state, but a lot of blue law refOrmers-men and women whose faces would crack Ii they smiled-have made life a bur den for it's people.
 What a man or woman wears eats, reads or drinks is a matter of personal liberty. And personal lib- erty is the very cornerstone upon which our American institutions are founded" Miss Pettigrew says.

 "PM IN TO WINW
 q am in this campaign to win. With my sister, Alice PettigreW, as my manager, I intend to go into every town and hamlet, every city and every crossroad in the state be- tween now and primary day seeking to lead Kansas out of the darkness of narrow -mindedness.
 q do not advocate a return of the old saloon system. I do stand for the sale. of beer and light wine. live in a community where there are many foreigners-the packing house, workers of Kansas City, Kan. l know what prohibition has done to them-killed scores, jailed hundreds and made thousands discontent.
 "They call Kansas dry. I have been into the very heart of the state-it is flooded with liquor. Death-dealing homemade liquor is on sale every where. Kansas is not particle d;f- ferent from any other state, even though the blue2lawers would like to make it appear so.
 'It is absurd and inhuman to pro- hibit the sale of light wines and beer just as much so as to prohibit the sale of cough syrup and pills.
 LET THE WOMEN sMOkE."
 Personally I do not smoke, for l believe smoking is bad for a girls voice-she is not physically able to withstand it. But if women desire to smoke, what right have others to take this right from them! Let wom- en smoke.
 Much has been said of my views of woman's dress, believe the dress of the modern flapper the most sen- sible ever designed. It is neat, con- fortable and is fitted to meet modern conditions for the girl who works
 Miss Pettigrew is working girl herself.
 Previous to her entrance into the Kansas governorship race she was employed in an executive position in Kansas City, Mo-, deparement store.
 But matters of women's dress are outside of the field of politics" she says.
 What I really want to accomplish is to do away with war and, second- arily, to keep alive the spirit of per sonal liberty.

 It is a Maxwell Karger production for Metro, starring Bert ,Lytell in the role of Beddy Mills, the New York bank clerk who tried to become the Man Who Broke the Shoe Trust.
 Beddys ambition to become a Man Who is inspired by his desire to win the favor of Helen Jessop, daughter of an old New York family who has use for men who were just mice and no ordinary" So Beddy decides to go about faulIessly dressed except that his feet are always bare as a protest against the high price of shoes.

TRADE AT HOME
AND HELP THE TOWN


1t is estimated that at least $4,000
is sent away from Leesville annually
to the various mail order houses that
keep the post office of this town load
ed down with alluring printed matter
to induce the easy marks to send away
their money to some other State and
trust to the honor of the various COM
panies that maintain mail order houses
to deal squarely with them. This is a
strange combination when one consid-
ers it from its foundation. 1t is like
putting your money in a slot and wish
ing that something will come out that
will be worth the price you put into it.
There are, no doubt, many families
that have been "stung' with this prim-
tive method of doing business, but
they will live in hopes that some day
they will get what they are too willing
to pay for. How different it is with
the sensible woman who will go to her
favorite merchant in her own town, see
what he has for sale, and, if not salts
fled, solicit his assistance in obtaining
for her the coveted article. Now we
have the services of man who is cap
able and experienced in buying goods
that have merit, and in nearly every
instance find to our surprise that they
will cost us less than if we had sent
our money away to some unknown par
.ty in some far-away State.
Prices in LeesviIle will compare fa-
vorably with prices that are found in
any part of the country. Shoes can
be bought in LeesviIle as cheaply as
they can be bought in Brockton, where
they are made. To this the Democrat
will attest; clothing in Leesville is as
reasonable as it is in New York City,
quality considered. Tailor-made goods
are to be obtained in Leesville CHEAP
Err than they can be bought in New
York City or Boston. quality consider
ed. 1t is fallacy and snare to inn
agine that by sending away your mon
ey to another State you will be getting
more for your money than you can
get here at home, and the sooner one
realizes this very important fact the
better it will be for all concerned.
Let's all start with a determination
to build up Leesville as it it our duty;
and from this date on, refuse to be
hoodwinked by the alluring pictures
of what the mail order houses offer
and to patronize our own merchants
whenever possible.
Think this over. and you will no
doubt decide that when you send mon
ey away for goods that can be bought
here, that you are doing an injustice
to yourself and your town, and injury
to those who with you have the burden
of paying the taxes of the town.
Supposing everybody should send
away their money for goods required,
and that can be bought here; what
would become of our town? What
would become of the home market ac-
cessible to the small farmers? When
you go away on visit you are only
too proud to boast of Leesville and her
vas: opportunities. Then why not as
sist Leesville in her struggles to become
what you have set your heart on that
she should be2
1t is we'll that you consider this mat
ter, and see your home merchant Ee-

there is surplus of that commodity
