Vance county will cast an unusually
heavy vote in the general election of
next Tuesday, Democratic leaders
here believe even exceeding the large
vote tossed into the boxes in the last
general election IN this county.
Including new names put on the
,ooks during the past few weeks, the
registration of voters is very heavy,
probably the largest in the history of
the county. And, unless me weather Is
so unfavorable as to preclude a gen.
eral turnout, most of them will pro-
badly so to the polls and cast their
ballot.
Very little scratching of tickets is
anticipated in this county. While
there were differences of opinion in
the primaries last sumemr, most peo-
pie have about forgotten those ami
mosities and will vote the straight
ticket, it is believed.
The normal Democratic vote is
about 5000 and the Republican total
about 500, in round figures. Some OBJ
servers would not be surprised to see
the total vote next Tuesday exceed
5000 for the first time in the history
of the county.
While there have been no speak
ings, other than the Zig rally set for
tonight, there has been great interest
n the campaign.
There is no Republican county tick
ct. other than a candidate for the
State House of representatives, but
there are both Republican and DEM
ocratic tickets for State and national
offices.
There has been comparatively lit
tie interest here in the proposed con-
stitutional amendments except in the
reverberations of Statewide cam
paigns. A few of the civic clubs have
hear speeches on the amendments,
and the lawyers are interested in see

BLACK-DRAUGHT
For Clean System Helps
To Prevent Sickness

Draught is that, if it is taken at the
first disagreeable feeling of consti-
patton, one or two doses usually
bring relief. Prompt relief, such as
that, is well worth while. Constipa-
ton is too dangerous to be neglected.
"a clean system for health" plan
has. saved thousands of people much
useless sickness. They keep a pack
age of Black-Draught in the family
medicine cabinet and take this pure
ly vegetable laxative at the first sign
of constipation. They say the relief
it brings is mighty hard to beat.
Find out, by trying it, why so
many people prefer Black-Draught
when ii comes to buying a laxative.

The combined efforts of engineer

doing much to improve business and
industrial conditions nationally by
producing useful products within

can afford Adolph Krebs, Frigidaire
dealer, said on his return to Hamil-

He met there with several hundred

Of household refrigerators and the
advertising and sales plans which will
be used in marketing them The

R. D. VanDyke, district manager for
Frigidaire, and was attended by H. j.
Walker, Jr., of Dayton, Ohio, manager
Of Frigidaires public utilities divi-
sion.
Mr.. Krebs disclosed that this year,
Frigidaire will introduce line Of
household refrigerators that will offer
the greatest advancements in years

Labor, functioning like the Legion
and the Veterans of Foreign Wars,
could push the NAM around until the
fat boys yelled Ouch.
That's fact.
The Spanish War veterans never
got a bonus. They hadn't the plan,
the organization or the unity-and
they didn't seize their psychological
moment.
This business of organizing senti-
ment and making it into battering
ram is something to think about.
Big business pays millions of dol
lars in the effort-and doesn't get its
moneys worth. 1t never can get it's
moneys worth, but it is able to be
well pleased with half it's moneys
worth, because it has plenty of money.
Anyway, think it over.

GOVERNMENTS ADDED
RESPONSIBILITY

Miss Mary Anderson, director OF
the Woman's Bureau, United States
Department of Labor, points out in
her annual report, recently released,
that the federal government has an
added responsibility to women work
ers since the NRA codes which pro-
tected them for a time are now gone.
Women are playing an increasing
part in family support, the report
states. There were nearly 100000
women employed in this country in
1880 and at the present time, more
that 100000 are heads Of families.

A peek behind the scenes reveals

Morrell Company money aplenty. 1t
would appear the American Institute
of Meat Packers in the fight and in
an off stage manner helping to direct
the Morrell battle
Here is the monetary reaction to
Morrell. The unfairness of the COM

its profits to drop from $2,092,002 in
1884 to 1898, ,59538 in 1885.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY IA, 1896
THE FACTS AND THE LIARS
OF PROSPERITY

Stocks listed on the New York
Stock Exchange gained in value So
2l8,965, ,497 during the year.
This is just sample Of financial
good news. For instance:
The net profits Of General Motors
III 1885 were $167, ,226,ooo This is an
increase Of 76.6 per cent over the
gains Of 1884. 1t il BY odds the best
year G. NJ. has had since 1929.
United States Steel had net oper-
ating profits in 1895 Of $l,084,917.
That is a tremendous gain, but one
hardly knows how to state it for com
parison. In 1884, the Steel Trust
went into the red 1867 ,780. So far
as encouragement for managers is
concerned, the difference between
s21, 100000 loss and $1,00o,0oo, gain
is greater than that between any two
sums on the same side Of the ledger.
sears-Roebuck had total sales last
year 20 per cent higher than those
Of the previous year.
It makes little difference what part
Of the market page you look at, the
gains are notable. 1t makes no differ
ence what industry you take for a
guide, it is doing more business than
ii has done for years before; generally
more than it has done since 1929.
II any other year, such signs have
been taken as evidence of growing
prosperity Why should it not be
taken in the same way nov?
Because the managers Of big cor
porations hate the New Deal and all
its ways and works except the in
crease in earnings and profits, these
extra earnings and profits, the rack
eteers Of the Liberty League pocket
and deny that they ever got it. With
bank accounts bullying with increased
dividends, these financial gangsters
howl that the country is going to
hell, and that only their return to
power viii save it.
Of course they are lying; and Of
course they know it. They believe
that Aaron Burr defined statistics as
well as law in his impish epigram.
Law said Burr, IS anything
firmly asserted and persuasively main
tanned" He made it go for while
but jefferson, and Washington, anc
Madison, and practically all the Others
who did real public service in the
childhood of our country, would have
gone down to defeat rather than liz

UNION BUTCHERS
Press Fight on Unfair
Packer

Chicago (ILNS) - The executive
board of the Amalgamated Meat Cut
ters and Butcher Workmen of North
America, meeting here, mapped out
an extensive program in its eleven
months old battle with John Morrell
& Company, packers, of Sioux Falls,
S. d.
Morrell has three plants-the one
at which the strike of butcher work
men is in progress, Sioux Falls, S. D.;
one at Ottumwa, Iowa, and the third
at Topeka, Kan. Morrell is the
packer manufacturer of Morrell's
Pride products.
Bitter War on Union
Since the strike began in March,
1885, several outstanding events have
marked its progress. Strikers by the
score have lost their homes Food
kitchens were established so the strik-
ers and their families would not go
hungry, and, added to their. burden,
many of the strikers were brutally
slugged and beaten. The South Da-
kota state militia was ordered out
by Gov. Tom Berry. International
Vice President Joseph Mccoy, who
was in charge Of the strike, was way
laid and slugged. For time his in
jury indicated it would prove fatal,
but Mccoy recovered and is back on
his feet.

national Secretary Treasurer Dennis
Lane, who was one of the American
