We are authorized to announce W. B. PAT
TESON a candidate for Sheriff of Adair County,
subject to the action of the IRupublican primary
of 1917.
Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of La

thing like the fine spirit towards

Candidate Hughes has found
an issue at last, of thinks he has,
and is working overtime to coun
teract the effect of the call off of
the railroad strike, which is
proving so greatly to the advan
tage of President Wilson and the
Democratic party. He calls it a
force bill and other ugly name3
and says it does not establish an
eight hour day, but that in real
ity it increases wages. Like the
ox who knoweth-his owner and
the ass his master's crib, Mr.
Hughes is talking for the benefit
of the railroads and Wall Street,
which believing that a servant is
worthy of his hire are putting up
millions to elect him; under the
impression that the Presidency
can be bought. This time at
least it will prove the truth of
the old adage that a fool and his
money is soon parted, with no
returns for it. There are mill
; ions more railroad workers than
there are railroad owners and
they intend to pay Mr. Wilson a
debt of gratitude that they and
all laboring men owe.

months of $3,460,000. The coun
try was never more prosperous
or had a better future, made po&
sible by needed financial laws,
farm credits and other valuable
constructive legislation passed
during the Wilson administra
tion. If there is anything in the
axiom, "let well enough alone,"
this is the time to exercise it and
reelect Woodrow Wilson for four
more years of patriotic service.

THE MAINE RESULT PLEASES
WALL STREET.
Following the Maine election
Wall Street marked up prices of
stocks in the glad hope of the
election of Mr. Hughes whose
triumph would be a victory for
reaction, the trusts, high tariffs
and all the great financial, inter
ests had formerly controlled the
Republican administration.
There is no doubt that Mr.
Hughes is Wall Street's candi
date and that alone ought to
make honest people rally to the
support of Wilson.

FORD ANNOUNCES FOR WILSON.
Henry Ford, the great automo
bile manufacturer, has followed
his friend and preceptor, Thom
as Edison, and announced for
Wilson for President because his
neutrality policy has kept us out
of the European war and because
he has not been swayed from his
determination not to measure
swords with poor deluded Mexico.
A great many men who never
voted anything but the Republi
can ticket will vote for Wilson
and Marshall in November.
