Townsend, ov.15-Local sports
men and their city friends were out
early this morning the first day of
the cunning season, some returning
with bags containing the full quota
allowed by law. The recent warm
weather is believed by local hunt
ers to have resulted in a plentiful
supply Of upland game in this and
other districts of the State. Due
to the early absence of rains, birds
are said to be plentiful and there
are more quail and rabbits than
during any one of the last ten sea-
sons. The six-week hunting sea-
son is expected to be one of the
most successful since 1926 when
game was plentiful in almost every
part of the countryside, and city
gunners found it quite easy to fill
their bags with the quota of var
ious game and return home within
few hours.
According to some farmers the
tomato crop paid them far beyond
their expectations, basing their es-
innate at the beginning of the sea-
son on the failure in prices last
year when many said their crop
had not paid expenses. But, this
year, they report that the crop was
somewhat encouraging and gave a
profit after the expense was met.

Appeal Made to
Anti Masons

It was in the days of the
clamor against the MasonE
because of the Morgan Incl
dent and because jackson
was a Mason and Edward
Livingston, his Secretary Of
State, was one of the high
est officers of the order,
that an attempt was made
through appeals to prejudice
to array the anti-Masons
against Jackson.
The Jacksonians capital
lied his enemies in his in
terest.
They accepted the hatred
and "mistrust" of Biddle
and the bank and all it's
retainers and proclaimed it.
The Wing leaders had
spoken CONTEMPORARY Of
the mass of the people as
"the mob" much as Sena-
tor Moses but recently char
acterized the farmers cham
pions in the Senate as "the
sons of the wild iackass, "
and the Jacksonians re-
lieved the Wings of the
expense of spreading the
report.
They met blow with blow,
and made their appeal to
the great mass of the peo-
pie they intended to serve.
They drew a line between
honest business and fradu-
lent and exploiting business
and between straight bank
ing and speculative bank
ing.

Early Struggle

or men should direct the
destiny of the country !;
whether the bankers or the
chosen representatives of
the people should deter

When the campaign be-

and financiers against Jack

plan to coerce and intimi-
date the working men
through their bosses.
With the aid Of a power
full press and much propa-
ganda it was the intent to
intimidate the farmers with
threats of reduced prices for
their product in the event
of Jackson's reelection.
All this called for the

competition in a woman's life.
Not that there is any normal
woman who doesn't want, and
intend to HAVE love. But the
average girl wants so many
other things, besides, that love
sometimes gets lost-or tenn
porarily mislaid-in the shuttle.
She wants adventure and
self-expression and experience.
She wants to try her wings and
fly high. before settling down
in a dove-cote. She wants a
fling at a career or at a pro-
fession. She wants to make
money, to travel, to write, to
study interior decorating or to
try her luck in Hollywood. She
wants to fly a plane or drive a
car or run q business. Some.
times, marriages-and love ate
the things she THINKS she
wants least in the world!
Oh yes! Love has to put up
a pretty stiff fight to win out
against so many rivals. But, in
the end, Love usually gets his
way with her. She always wakes
up, sooner or later, to discover
that success or fame or excite
ment or adventure doesn't
amount to much, unless there
is Someone, on the other side
of the table or the fireplace,
to enjoy it with you, or share
it with you. Without love, they
are just dead sea fruit!
Or she discovers that there
are just as many thrills in a
kitchenette or in a bungalow
as there are in an airplane. Or
that she can get more kick out
of putting up cretonne curtains
than out of pulling down a
swimming record.
That's what happens to her.
And, if it happens too late, she
finds herself wondering why
life is so flavorless. Because,

Words From the Lips of Wise Men

Better skin a carcass for pay

A fool is always meditating
how he shall begin his life; a

this domination was sought
through the use of money.
Early in the campaign the
New York Courier and En-
quirer, edited by James Wat
son Webb, deserted the
cause of jackson t. become
an ardent champion of the
bank; and a congressional
investigation later was to
prove that money had en-
tered into the conversion.
Jackson Painted
AS Business Foe
The subsidized or snob
press was expected to
brighten the people with
lurid tales of the radical
ism" of jackson. He was
pictured as an enemy of
property, as a foe to bust
ness, as a dangerous dema-
gogue seeking to array
class against class.
This had some effect on
financiers and business men
in the larger cities.
1t had its influence upon
the type of intellectual who
is always found in the role
of cup-bearer to the king
in this case money.
But this did not reach the
working classes, and so the
papers began to run stories
to the effect that ga large
manufacturer Cat Browns

all his hands because of
Jackson's bank policy and
others have given notice to

Jackson Attacked
By "Whisperers. "

The farmers read in these
prostitute newspapers that
in the event Of Clay's cleo
ton $3.50 per hundred
would be paid for pork, and
$3.50 should jackson win.
This sort of thing was
played to the limit in the
press and on the stump.
Early in the campaign the
bank and the Wings started
a whispering campaign
about jackson S health. 1t
was bruited abroad that it
was in an alarming state.
The most bizarre tales were
told. The old man in the
White House was on the
verge of a collapse. His
physical condition had had
an effect upon his mind. He
was physically unfit for the
arduous office.
And Jackson's managers
met this with the announce
ment Of the truth that he
receives from so to 100
persons daily, is necessarily
engaged in the dispatch of
the duties Of his office and
joins regularly at table his
large dinner parties of from
40 to so persons twice a

Biddle Truly
An Aristocrat

Nicholas Blddle had been
trained in diplomacy. He
was a thorough aristocrat in
the best meaning of the
word. He was handsome,
clever, even brilliant and I'M
scrupulous. He looked upon
the mass of people with dis
dain, and upon Jackson as
an impossible person without
drawing-room polish.
He was powerful in Con-
gress because he had so
many of the leaders on his
payroll, directly or indi-
rectIy. It was to develop
that he. made a practice of
making loans Of sizeable
amount to members Of Con-
gress without security, and
not few of these had no
thought of paying back.
Also that he made loans
without proper security to
newspapers. Daniel Web
ster was on a retainer for
the bank, and just as the
fight on the recharter was
beginning in the Senate,
Webster wrote Biddle: "By
the way, you have over
looked the refreshment Of
my retainer"

TdERE IS some similarity
l. between the presidential
campaigns of 1882 and 1882.
Writing a book on "The
Party Battles of the Jack
son Period" I once had &C.
casion to follow the former
campaign carefully through
the press of that year and
through the pamphlets is
sued.
1t may be interesting to
recall just what sort of cam
paign was waged in 1882,
and it will not be necessary
to point out the similarities.
During Jackson's first ad-
ministration he had been
shocked at the arrogance and
power of the National Bank
under t h e presidency OF
Nicholas Biddle. He found
that it had been converted
into a sort of political ma
chine which was being In
creasingly used to maintain
in power men who would be
subservient to it. He dis
covered that in some places
Democratic merchants had
difficulty getting credit
notably in New Hampshire.
He found a disposition to
discriminate against some
parts of the country in favor
Of other parts.
He was amazed, too at the
pretensions of Biddle, the
head of the money power.
Whenever he appeared in
Washington, as he did not
infrequently, he held a levee
to which members of Con-
gress swarmed. Here was a
man who was openly setting
himself up as the head Of a
super-government.
Jackson reached the con-
clusion that there should be
no rechartering of this bank;
that it was making for a
plutocracy and privilege;
that it had too much power
and had misused it.
