M’CORMICK CLAIMS NEW YORK, OHIO AND IN- DIANA FOR WILSON Issues. New York, Oct. 8—The pres- idential campaign has progressed to that point where it is now pos- sible to formulate a definite judg- ment as to the trend of sentiment. The issues “have been clearly de- fined, despite the steady attempts of Mr, Hughes to straddle every question that concerns patriotic Americans, Sentiment all over the United States is crystallizing in favor of the retention in office of> the plentitude and contentment. The alternative for peace with honor is war. There is no middle ground. Mr. Hughes attempts to. straddle the issue, but his chief spokesman, Col. Roosevelt, boldly asserts the United States should have pursued a course in its for- eign relations that would have plunged us into war with Ger- many, = Be. Heise sibstance and Mr. Hughes is the shadow in the Re- publican campaign, He has made the issue. It is Wilson, with hon- orable peace and bounteous plen- titude, vs. Hughes with war and its accompanying desolation. There is an issue of transcend- to punish the President of the United States for his course of strict neutrality in our foreign re- lations by ambiguous utterances. Mr. Hughes has sought not to of- fend the disloyalists and at the same time please the patriotic American whose support he needs. But he cannot escape'the issue of the consequence of his attitude. He must tell the American people under whose flag he is running for President. And there is still another reason why forward-looking — patriotic Americans are rallying to the “e President. And that is the reali- zation that Mr. Hughes”: election means the restoration to power of Penrose, Crane, Barnes, Smoot, Warren and the other old) guard i Republicans. It is strange that the Republi- cans, in their confidence, should use their biggest orator gun (Roosevelt) in a State (Michigan) which they claim will give Mr. Hughes the normal Republican majority of 200,000. It looks like a. waste of ammunition. But it isn't, for the Republicans know, as reports show, that Michigan to- day is lost to them. New York, Ohio, Indiana, California, Wash- ington and ather States give év- ery indication of rolling up splen- did pluralities for the President. A Day in the Country. Last Saturday morning Mi Nadine Holloway, Grace Erwin, Kthel Major and Ola Ayres, ae- companied by Miss Burney Rice and Miss Rosamond Scroggs as chaperons, went to the country ona hike and) paw paw hunt. They arrived at Mr. Wayland’s 3 1-2 miles from town, where they were joined by Misses Kathleen Wayland, Helen and Dorothy: Clark. From there they went to Mr. Wayland’s timber, where, af- ter they filled their baskets with ~ paw paws, they enjoyed a lunch. After spending a pleasant fore- noon in the woods and at Mr. Wayland’s they were accom- panied back to town by Ashby Wayland and Misses Kathleen Wayland, Helen Clark, and Ruth Jones on a hay rack. All enjoyed the day very much. Sunday school will be held each Sunday in the Probate Court room at the court house. Sunday echool 10 a.m. Services 11 a. m.
