REGISTRATION OF EVERY VOTER ! 6. 0.jEFF0RT Must Win Election Before Liberty Loan Starts, State Leaders Tell Committeemen

U. S. Soldiers Have French Godmother; She is Seventy-Eight Years "Young

iv. x- ,

- The necessity of registering every voter and making a careful and accurate poll was urged upon Wayne county precinct committeemen by Secretary of State V. A. Roach and Charles Preston, assistant secretary of the state committee, at a meeting Wednesday evening. - Representative Richard Elliott of Connersville, District Chairman Walter Bossert of liberty and County Chairman L. S. Bowman spoke to the name effect. "The Democratic issue," said Preston, "Is to intimidate and scare the Republicans, but they will be lucky If they return any one of the four Democratic representatives In Congress this year. Get busy on the polls right away. Every Indiana Republican must register. Between 60 and 65 per cent of the soldiers In the camps are Republicans. The forthcoming election will be decided by the party that registers and votes the most men. We must win the election before the Liberty Loan drive begins. If It had not been for Republican votes, we would not have an army In France now." Preston said other counties In Indiana were perfecting their registration and many of them reported every Republican voter had registered. He urged an intensive campaign to attain this end In Wayne county. Are Leading President. Secretary of State Roach told the precinct committeemen that only personal and individual work brings results. "Jim Goodrich," he said, "is not too proud to take off his coat and go out on the streets on election day and to work for his party.

"The old slogan. 'He kept us out of war,' has been changed to 'stand by the president'. Haven't we been standing by him, granting every request he has made. We are leading him. Who made possible the draft bill? Republicans. When Flnly Gray opposed Richard Elliott for congress. Gray had the administration endorsement, but you elected Elliott. "Democrats have been trying to belittle our patriotism. Recently Fred Pays, Democratic nominee for congress in the second district. In his maiden speech, said the Republicans had no leader since Von Bernstorff had been handed his passports. He accused Will Hays of spreading the seeds of dissension, and declared Christ came to save the world and Wilson to free the world. How ridiculous and silly!" Representative Elliott spoke on national conditions as they pertain to the war. "If I am re-elected," he said, "I shall continue to vote for measures that will carry the war to a successful finish. No Politics In War Measures. "With regard to war measures 'polltics is adjourned,' but when it comes to measures that do not pertain to the war, 'politics is not adjourned.' We carry on our politics through great political parties. This war was not declared by either party but by the American people, and when it is won It will have been won by all the people. "We spent last year something like $7,0fM),00O,O0O on this war and loaned to our allies a little over $6,000,000,000 making a total of $13,000,000,000. It is estimated that the expense next year will be $21,000,000,000. This is to be raised in two ways. One is by $8,000,000,000 In taxes, and the rest by Liberty loan and War Savings certificates amounting to $16,000,000,000. "The revenue bill will tax almost everything that was ever heard of. Everything that will stand taxation up or down will be taxed. Of course we are all willing to appropriate this money to win this war. We must win this war. But we are Interested in having this money expended as carefully and Judiciously andeconomically as can be done under the circumstances. I maintain that there has been no attempt at economy in its expenditure." Bossert said he wanted the Republican majority increased from 3,000 to 4,000 votes at the next election. County Chairman Bowman said the plans of organization in the county Included the following: Tho perfection of an organization in each township, with the candidates for township assessor, township trustee, members of the township advisory boards and precinct committeemen as the basis of membership: and, in Richmond, the candidates and precinct committeemen. Township meetings In groups of several townships at a time will start next week. Assistant County Chairman Woodward presided after Secretary of State Roach had concluded his address.

Local Republicans Express Appreciation of Bowman's Services Republican precinct committeemen in a resolution passed last night praised tha effective work of County Chairman Bowman and asked him not to assume his duties as deputy state auditor until after the fall election. Ed Paul of Cambridge City praised the work of Bowman very highly and the resolution was passed with acclaim. The text follows: "Whereas, Lewis S. Bowman, auditor of Wayne county, Indiana, - has been tendered the position of Deputy State Auditor; and "Whereas, the services of Lewis S. Bowman as chairman of the Republican party of Wayne county, are of the highest value because of his ability, extensive experience, good judgment and the esteem in which he is held by all the voters of the county. "Therefore, be it Resolved, by the Wayne county central committee that we extend to Mr. Lewis S. Bowman our hearty congratulations on his appointment as Deputy State Auditor, believing that he is highly deserving of -such appointment and will serve the state faithfully and with ability in such oflice. "And, be it Further Resolved, that the Republican party cf Wayne county does hereby acknowledge Jts deep obligation and express its sincere thanks to Mr. Bowman for his long and faithful services in the interests of the party; and we respectfully request of him and the Auditor of the Site that he do not assume the duties of his new position until ofter the close of the coming political campaign, as we believe that it will be difficult to secure a county chairman at this time who could so well fill the position and render the organization such efficient services, and that the best interests of the government call for Republican

sucess at the coming election."

Suffragist Asks Support of C O. P. Workers For National Franchise

Miss Belle O'Hair, a suffrage worker of Indianapolis, enlivened an organization i; eeting of Republicans Wednesday evening at the court house when she pleaded with them to send Republicans to congress so that this party would credit for passing the equal suffrage law. It was the first time a woman had spoken before an organization meeting of Republicans in Wayne county. Her speech was graciously accepted. "I am not here to argue for suffrage." she said. "The facts of the last few months have demonstrated which side of the argument is in the right. The traditions about woman's sphere and activities have been smashed, for women are building ships, making munitions and guns and engaging in the vast work of war all without injury to their natures and without making them unwomanly. The present trials have only served to reveal woman's strength. She has been called into activity, often against her own will. "I am interested in the Republican party, the principles of the party. I am an admirer of her achievements. "It is a far fall from the old atti

tude of the Democratic administration toward equal suffrage and the present support of the measure. Now all Democrats but two are in love with

the Susan Anthony amendment. Shall the Democrats with their death bed repentance gather the fruits of victory or shall they go to the Republicans where they belong? All indications are that the great victory of woman's suffrage will rest with the Republicans, who seem now to be sure to be swept into office. Great Republican leaders and congressmen endorsed the movement. Northern Democrats are making desperate efforts now to whip the recalcitrant southern Democrats into line, but it is too late." Mrs. Elbert Shirk introduced Miss O'Hair to the meeting.

ALKALI IN SOAP BAD FOR THE HAIR

Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its test. I.Iost EOt-ps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The uc.t thing Cor steady use is just ordinary mulEi?::. cocoanut o: (wh' h is pure and greaselcss), ond is better than the most expeniive soap or anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair ind scalp thoroughly. Simply mclsten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle o' dus dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the fine and - ill.y. bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very clieap, and a few ounces will supply every memVr of tho fr-rily fc mouths. Adv.
