The idea is also to instill in the minds of thu children the < necessity of being careful now ’and atter while. i Reckless driving in Indiana has caused thousands of people to suggest 1 various restrictions, many of which if enacted into law s would seriously . inconvenience autofets but what else , can be expected so long as so many . drivers pay no attention to speed laws traffic regulations and the rules which govern those who believe in safetj . It is more than probable than a law will be enacted to make every driver have a license and that other statutes will be provided to control those who insist on driving wildly over the streets and highways. Senator Smith Brookhart of lowa, demands the resignation of Charles Dawes as the republican candidate for president and insists that if i. don't happen the party is wrecked, especially in the west and north west. Look out for some more “hell and Maria” language from the distinguished second man of the G. O. P. Os course he won't get off and Brookhart don't expect him to but this will give the wild senator a chance to hep over to IJifollette. It is claimed that the Wisconsin man has lowa sewed up and Brookhart who is a candidate for the senate to succeed himself is evidently getting on the band wagon. And the troubles are just starting. The Adams County Jefferson club is to be congratulated on the opening of the campaign in this city last evening. It was a wonderful meeting and every detail was arranged for- the convenience of speaker and the crowd. We are sure this organization can be built into a real one in campaign season and out. The club rooms can be maintained and weekly sessions held at which time questions of government are discussed with benefit to all and interest created that can not otherwise be formed. The) officers and members deserve encouragement and if you don’t belong send your dollar in now. - Fred Schurger is president, Glen Cowan, secretary and Mrs. Edgar Gerber i s treasure:, It's a fine and worthy club.

Face to Face With George Richard Lunn (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) In the littL* i >*n of Lent* iowt there were no bel-a vine inc whistles shrieking when George Rich ard Lunn. June. 1873. was born. The doctor announced it at the drug store and father bought a box of cigars. The usual boyhood days of a quiet little town but rather noisy boys who measured life by school terms and vacations. Securing his degree from Bellevue. Nebraska College, young Lunn made up his mind to go east. Deciding upon the ministry as a profession. he attended the Union Theological Seminary, received the degree of D.D. and was ready for action Ordained a Presbyterian minister, he preached in Brooklyn for a time. It was while pastor of the Dutch Reformed Church in Schenectady in 1904 that he began taking an interest in politics. This resulted in the organization of the United Peoples Church in Schenectady in 1909. His 1 contact and sympathies with the working people led to his being elect- ' ed th e first Socialist Mayor in the State of New York. He re-election j for three terms revealed that he possessed political power. From the mayoralty he plunged into a congressional contest and was elected the first Democrat to represent the Schenectady district for more than a quarter of a century. As a volunteer in the Spanish American war he observed the weakness of the volunteer system ; and championed the selective draft , method. In the meantime he had severed , his connections finally with the J Socialist party at the beginning of the war and was registered a Demo-; crat. Elected Lieutenant Governor, he became a more prominent factor ; in New York Democratic State poli- h tics. A fourth time elected for mayor-' something that had never occurred ,' before, George Lunn exploded some I 1 precedents in his vote-getting powers and campaigning. Speaking all over the state, he had ' become accustomed to people ad-' dressing him everywhere as “Gover-' nor” and friends naturally thought it I might as well be Governor in fact as well as to be addressed by that title. ' In his addresses there is a patriotic ' note that invites challenge to those 11 who would attack his Americanism . | Many of the bills which he advocated i 1 lave out the impression that he was radical, but these measures have become laws of the Empire State. With ■ the fire and vigor of the young man 1 born on a midwestern farm. Governor Lunn is quite at home in any gathering whether it be an assembly of wo- - men and working people who believe . in him or a pink tea of parlor, radical I or club conservatives in Riverside i Drive, where they don’t so much be-,

Senator Ralston called attention to' f the fact and it is important—that Ed i Jaciieon in his speech at New Castle the other evening deliberately tried > . to mislead the voters by claiming a • lower tax rate now than when Ralston! I was governor. He declared the tax: rate under Ralston was forty cents, and now only thirty, which is correct' ■ but he neglected to say that if the valuation then had been what it is now the tax rate would have been only fifteen cents on the hundred so Jackson’s rate is twice what it was; then. Governor Ralston’s record as governor stands out far enough that! all the battering they can give it is only a boost for him and his party. Look it over front any side you wish. The democratic campaign started' off with a rousing meeting Fast night, one of the best ever held in the county. Senator Ralston was at hig best and for two hours talked in a most convincing and earnest manner about state and national questions. He described Davis and Bryan as he knows them and he has watched them and studied their records for years. He told the crowd about Dr. McCulloch land hi s splendid qualities and he took Ed Jackson to task for his statements • ( concerning taxation now' as compared ! to the years when he served as gov-! • ,cernor. It was a splendid speech and '•Twas enthusiastically received. The' I » c from over the county/ left I the court room enthused and ready 1

•*8 GOVERNOR LUNN says: “The full results of the war up- j heaval are not all apparent to us at thia time."

Ileve in him. but respecta man who has made a career based upon convictions. Governor Lunn has not altogether , passed from the appearance of a minister despite his political career. His iron gray hair, deep brown eyes and gentle manners suggest the domine rather than the hard hitting campaigner dominator that he is. He comments with snap and vigor. "The full results of the world war upheaval are not all apparent to us at this time, but the condition of the individual averages so much bett r than it did twenty years ago that I think we may hope for the war marking an epoch in industrial liberty. Think of twenty years ago seeing the laboring man go to his work in an automobile. Look into their home today and there you find the luxuries iof a previous generation. The proI blent of distribution, as Adam Smith : remarked, has been a problem for all ■ time for all things. Perhaps it will ; remain so. When the American work- ; ing man can hope to give his children an education and have a good home 'and protection against want in his ■old age. we will have a country where every child will have his or her chance in the race of life without the handicap of a poverty that might strangle opportunity for every child born in America.” Said in a quiet way, although it may have some of the ringing appearance of a speech Governor Lunn talks 'that way. and from all records revealed at the polling booths in Schenectady and thereabouts, it seems to be a language that is understood. They 'have a habit of continually voting for , Governor Lunn in Schenectady and might insist on voting for him wheth■er he were nominated or not . "What is the mere matter of havI ing a name on a ballot when you can get the votes," was a significant remark of cne of Governor's Lunn's ■ Schenectady friends. Peojle far and , wide are beginning now to know how |to spell Schenectady since Governor ; Lunn loomed above the horizon in , public life.”
