Omaha Audience.

Behind La Toilette stands the rec
menace of socialism with its opposi
iion to private property. its antago

The message Charles G.. Dawes
brought to Omaha.
Answering former Senator Gilbert
NJ. Hitchcock who, through his
spokesman, had said that socialism
was not an issue, Mr.. Dawes de
eiared: The time to stop a prairie
fire is when it starts. You know
what that means out here in the
west"
Dawes had In his mind the i'm
mense poll for La Toilette revealed
In the straw vote being taken by the
Literary Digest. the Hearst news
papers and other newspaper.
throughout the country.
La Toilette Passes Davis.
These polls reveal that La Toilette
has swept past Davis in popular sup
port and is actually contending fol
the presidency.
Thus Dawes feels that as a prairie
fire Ii is more than just starting. II
has grown to alarming proportions
Other points in Dawes address
were:
A revelation of the "boring from
within" tactics OF the socialists.
An exposure Of the La Toilette
Red trade, whereby La Toilette
gained the support of the socialists.
The scheme of the socialists to
break down the constitution
through using La Follette's popu-
lasity.
The expressed reservation Of the
socialists to support La Toilette In
this campaign for their own pur-
poses only, they to adhere strict
ly to socialist principles" and keep
the red flag flying.
The danger to established civil
zation should the La Toilette vote
be as big as the straw votes indi-
cate.
General Dawes said the govern
ment which lasts is the government
whose action is dependent upon com
mon sense. He defined a politician
as one who appeals to passing fan
cies. and a statesman as one who ap
peals to the ultimate judgment of the
PEOPLE. One Is for the rule of the
mob, the other for the rule of the

About "The Best Thing in Houl-

say:
with the many fine things that
Houlton as a community has, it is
perhaps making pretty strong
statement to say that one thing is
better than another and yet when
one witnessed the parade. of school
children on Friday noon, the fact
must be brought to mind, of the
valuable asset which this beautiful
town has right here in its midst.

every days business or occupation.

this which calls to ones attention
the importance Of this side of
community life. As we watched
the eighteen hundred scholars of
cur schools from the first grade up
to those In the High School, as
sembled in groups from the schools
In the outlying districts as well an
here IN the town proper, including
Kicker and the pupils from ST.

each group the citizens of tomor-

OF citizenship unconsciously per-

that duty will so soon be upon
them. 1t shows and assures to this
town prosperity and great future.
