PLENTY OF BUNK
ALONG POLITICAL RIALIO
Burton Kiple Is Candidate For Coun-
Gil On Democratic Ticket.

The Democratic party is. confident
that Moore will beat Whitney for
Governor, which perhaps may be a
pretty good guess to make.
It has been a peculiar campaign.
Except for a few instances we don't
recall having heard the county can
didates names mentioned during the
past three weeks.
Lack of interest and general lassi-
tude is big asset in favor of the Re
publican ticket. For if there were
any chance of an upheaval in the
county you would hear talk about it.
The minority never whips the major
ity without a great hullaballo and
beating of tom toms. The county
committee has not produced a bit of
noise except the scrap between Moore
and Whitney.
There is a lot of loose talk by some
Denocra and by a few Republicans
about the Republican party workers
are swinging in line for the Demo-
cratic candidates.
For instance, a Democrat standing
on the Five Points the other even
ing, named five we'll known Republi-
cans, counting them on his fingers
as he spoke, who be said will turn in
for Moore and the Democratic ticket.
That kind of bunk can be discount
ed just exactly 1000. There is GER
tain hesitancy on the part of several
Republican leaders, about taking off
their coats and working for Whitney
night and day. That type of Repub-
lican will not weep if he hears that
Moore has won, but on election day
he wild go out and vote for Whitney,
even if he does not go out and arouse
his friends to do likewise. But that
is as far as it goes. There is no gem
uine insurgency.
To get down to the issues of the To-
cal and county campaigns.
There are few, of any of them,
whose office will be holly contested.
We have three of the steam roller
faction running for office in the City
of Beverly, all are for the office of
councilman Stevenson, Allen and
Brown, make up the Clique.
Burton Kiple, "red hot" Democrat
is the most likely contender for a
new councilman. Kiple served under
the old councilhnanic administration
for over nine years and his followers
predict landslide for him, with
Stevenson or Allen on the Republi-
can ticket losing out. Burt" posses
ses personalities and qualifications far
above the average Democratic candi-
date for office. But he is up against
some shrewd campaigners who have
the advantage of being entrenched in
their jobs.
Kiple however has proven that he
is no SLOUGH of a politician himself,
and points to the inefficiency of the
councilman now in office, namely the
members of the Police Committee.
But the average citizen in Beverly
does not pay attention to records in a
straight-out partisan election. The
majority are Republicans and they
vote that way unless an unusual sit
uation arises and one has arisen in
Beverly.

How Old Is Ann?

Five answers have reached this Off
ce ON the question propounded last
week. How old is AmnT Carl G.
Startling and S. II. Wells of Ravenden
Springs and Loren Marshall of Water
Valley say she is sixteen and ]. G.
Throgmorton of Ingram and Elmer j.
Lloyd Of Akron Ohio, say she is eigh-
teen.
The problem was as follows: "Mary
is "a years old. Mary is twice as old
as Ann was when Mary was as old as
Ann is now. How old is Ann?"
Mr.. Wells says that when Ann was
s, Mary was 10; when Ann was 16,
Mary was "a. Mary's age now being
"a, Ann is therefore 10.
Mr.. Throgmorton and Mr.. Lloyd both
work the problem by Algebra, as fol.
lows:
Let Y equal No. years in AIMS age
1-2 of 24 equals ~, No. years in
AIMS age when Mary was as old as
Ann is now.
"A minus y equals No. years since
Mary was twice as old as Ann is now
Then - plus ga minus X equals
Y. No years in AIMS age
Finding the value of X:
12 plus "a equals On.
Ok equals 80.
X equals Is, the No. years in AIMS
age"
Which of the solutions is correct?
Mr.. Lloyd also submits another prob
lem, which is as follows: "Three men
buy a grindstone, in partnership
twenty inches in diameter and two
inches thick. How much Of the diam
eter of the stone must each man grind
off that he may get his share of the
rock, making allowance for a hole in
the center of the rock one and one-hali
inches in diameter"
A problem submitted by Mr.. Mar.
shall will be published soon.
