supervision which was inaugurated
on Armistice Day, will close with an
active canvass, beginning Monday the
10Th. day of December and ending
January 1, 1925. The drive has been
somewhat inactive, due to other
worthy soliciting committees in the
county during the past month.
Now that the Red Cross, Stamp
sales and other Xmas giving Is com
pleted, the people of Idaho county
are urged to help the State Memorial
Drive, giving what they are able to
contribute, and pledging installments
for two years, if unable to pay now
in cash.
Other counties are doing their part,
and Idaho county, should desire to
give her quota for a state institution,
located at the State University, where
all the people of the state will see,
enjoy and approve the structure,
which houses the fame and name and
glory of those who battle for tbs
worlds welfare. Let all who can aid
the committees this coming week to
make a creditable showing TO those
having the campaign in charge.

NELSON, B. c., Oct. 3O.-Peter
Veregin, leader of the Doukhobor
colony in Saskatchewan province,
paid for his progressive methods with
his life yesterday, when an enemy
opposed to Veregin's use of modern
appliances on farms and homes in
he colony, placed a bomb urder his
seat in a Canadian Pacific passenger
coach while the train was speeding
from Nelson to Grand Fork, p. c.,
according to the theory advanced to-
Gay by police investigators. The ex-
plosion killed eight and injured
twelve passengers on the train.
Railway officials working with po-
lice on the case today believe the
explosion resulted from a time bomb
or the Earring of dynamite carried
in Sunny sack.
Included in the list Of dead was the
name of john L.. MacKie, member of
the Columbia legislature from Grand
Forks.

the powers of judge, prosecutor and
jury.
Labcr now has extended to it
the same rights that any other
American has, to be tried by a jury
of his peers.
We believe that we are serving
not only the cause of labor, but of
the great mass of the common peo-
pie of America in advocating the
election Of Davis.
Meets Issues Firmly
"'John w. Davis has demon
strated on the stump his position
on every public question. He has
not remained silent concerning a
single issue of this campaign. He
has publicly announced that he will
answer ,Ae question of every man,
woman and child in these United
States. One cannot study his rec.
ord or his utterances without becom-
ing convinced of the absolute neces-
sity of electing him president, and
we believe that the people of the
United States are fortunate that a
man like Davis is willing to thrust
aside personal fortune in order to
serve.
I'VE have been presented within
the last three and a half years with
a situation where many officials of
the government have used their Of
fices for personal gain.
In his public life Mr.. Davis has
had but, one client-the people of the
United States-and he has served
them with all his great intellectual
force with no thought except that
of service.
Parties and men are to be judg-
ed by past performances. The best
Indication of what they will do in the
future is what they have done in the
past. Judged by the record, the
choice inc vitality leads to a vote for
Davis.
I've have taken this action,
not alone because it is our judgment,
but because we have been requested
by our membership to place our
selves sQuarely on record for the
election of John w. Davis for presi-
dent and Alfred r. Smith for gov
ernOr.

Moultrie Alderman
Near Breakdown as
Result of Exposure

MOULTRIE, Ga, Oct. 30.-JohE
Z. Bryant, city alderman, who re-
turned home late Tuesday night,
after a two days mysterious alb
sence, is under the care Of physi-
clans, who report he is on the verge
of a nervous b1 eakdown, due to ex-
posCre and rough treatment at the
hands of kidnappers.
Bryant stated when he returned
that he had been forced into an au-
ton chile, robbed, tied to a tree and
threatened with death if he did not
divulge the combination of the safe
of the Bank of Moultrie. The seizure
took place on the MoultrieDoe Run
road, according to Bryant, where he
went to deliver an automobile tire to
party whom he believed to be tour
lists. He said he was released Tues
day night eight miles from Albany,
after he had convinced his captOrs
he did not know the combination of
the safe. Bryant says he was not
only kept blindfolded, but handcuffed
during the two days. His own car
was used by the kidnapers, he says.
