Saturday, Sept 15, the Pearl Local near Des Moines, was organized with eleven members. This meeting was arranged Tor by Mr. Beaty at the re quest of the leading farmers in the district. Organizer Lindsey soon had them in working order. Mr. Mc- ..no nrannl in toll tlli'tYl about the bismess ena ot me nquuy Deeds vs Promises Orie L. Phillips, Republican Nominee for District Attorney for the Eighth District, has been Assistant District Attorney for that District since March, 1913. He is seeking election upon his official record. Since his appointment he has tried every criminal case in Union County without the aid or assistance of Mr. Remley, the present District Attorney. He has also assisted in the trial of many cases in Colfax and Quay Counties. Because he has performed the duties of the office unaided in Union County, it is par ticularly useful in furnishing a criterion of Mr. Phillips' ability. The following is a statement of the results of cases disposed of in Union County on indictments returned and . informations filed since his appointment: By Henry Van Dyke nee Who seeks for heaven alone to sa f his soul, May keep the path, but will nu reach the goal; While he who walks in love is.ov- wander far.

If you do, you I will not hesitate to vote for him. I have ridden by his side for many days j and nights in the hills of Oklahoma, .also in Southwest Texas, running ! down cattle and horse thieves. Well Ido I remember on one -occasion, we I had trailed two horse thieves for three days, and located their camp, where they were asleep. My motto was to shoot; but Bryan said "no." Made me hold his gun we crawled on our knees to their bed he sprang on them pulled one on top of the other and set straddle of them while I took their guns and shackled thvm. This was thirty years ago. His motto is Catch but not Kill is cool and cautious, but I will shoot if he has to, for he does not i know .what fear is; loves little child- rcn; respects old age; and hates a I thief. And in case you people elect I him Sheriff, don't be uneasy but what the law will be enforced. Respectfully, W. W. Brady, Order Buyer, Campbell & Rosson Com.
