dose of this about 20 years ago that

first campaign, eight years ago, he
promised that if elected he would re-
tire when his two terms had expired.
Mr.. Phipps admitted writing the article
in which that paragraph was incor-
porated and stated that at that time
he was sincere; that there was then
sent ment and opinion in favor Of
this system However" he said,
''times have changed. There are diff
ferent conditions now. We don't farm,
preach, practise medicine or teach
school ms we did a few years ago. The
nature of my work is far different now
than during my first term. The prin-
ciple trouble with the government of
our nation is that it is handled in an
unbusiresslike way. Conditions now
demand that we keep a man hired
after he has learned the business"
Rufus X. Baker, his opponent, was
greeted with burst of applause. Mr..
Baker is a native of Shiloh township
and his home people welcomed him
warmly, several times interrupting his
talk with applause. He referred to
Mr.. Thipps' promise that he would
retire after two terms and insisted
that if that custom was in keeping
with Democracy eight years ago, it
was the same today. He stated that
Mr.. Phipps, at the end of two terms,
asked for two terms more, that he might
get his entire length of service in one
office. He asserted that his opponent
had completed his 'length of service
and that it was time for the next man
to enter the office. He outlined his
qualifications and expressed the belief
that he could handle the office as eff
ciently as it had ever been handled.
County Treasurer J. A. White, a
candidate for reelection, spoke of the
service he had rendered, of his quail
ficatlons and of his need of the office.
Being handicapped by the loss of both
legs he is i'll suited to those pursuits
followed by the ordinary man, but
having a fair education and being pro-
ficient in figures and book work, he
said that he was especially fitted to
the county treasurer's work. He ask
ed consideration of his candidacy and
promised if reelected, to continue the
brand of service to which the public
had become accustomed during his time
in office.
VIII S. White, the other candidate
for treasurer, began his speech by
thanking the voters of the township
and county for the 1915 votes he re-
ceived in the election four years ago.
He pointed to the fact that there had
been many men to hold public office in
the county, who were elected by far
less than 1915 votes. He cited his re-
cord as citizen and teacher, assert
ing that he was qualified in every way
to hold the office and that he was due
the consideration, set by Democratic
custom, Of having an opportunity in
the office since his opponent has COM
pleted his customary two terms.
The program was closed by Mr..
Timer, who is unOppOsed as a candidate
for tax assessor. He thanked the citi-
zens for past favors and expressed Il
hope that he would continue to merit
their friendship. q fSe
Saturday the candidates spoke at
Gravesville to a good-sized crowd and
this week they are continuing their
itinerary. They will close at PocahOn-
tas, in Demun township, on August 8,
the day before the primary.

Site Of Old Washington
Elm Marked BY Tablet

Cambridge, Mass. Aug. o.-(P1-
Historians may disagree as TO Whetn-
er George Washington took COM
mand of the continental army under
the old elm that perpetuated his
name here, but the city park depart
ment has done it's best to show that
he did On the very spot where the
historic tree formerly stood, the de-
partment has just placed bronze
tablet bearing this inscription:
Here stood the Washington Elm
under which George Washington
took command of the American
army July 3, 1775."
The Washington Elm stood at Car
den and Mason streets until OCTOBER
1928, when he fell after tree experts
had tried in vain to prolong its life.
The tree was cut up and the wood
made into gavels and other souvenirs
which the city presents to distln-
guished visitors. A slip from the old
tree was planted on Cambridge Com
mon April 90. 1925 by Vice President
Charles G.. Dawes, in connection with
the 150th anniversary of Patriots
Day.
After the old elm died a street was
built over the spot where 1t had
stood. Several suggestions for mark
ing the spot We're made. One was
an arch to stretch over the street
where the tree had stood. and
another the erection of monument
on the Common nearby The city
finally decided that the bronze tab
let would be the most appropriate
marker. The tablet is set flush with
the pavement so it will not obstruct
traffic,
