CHANGING THE PRESIDENTS TfRM.
A number of the Democratic
congressmen in Washington are of
the opininion that a change in the
constitution, extending the presi
dential term from 4 to 6 years,
should be made. Business men
throughout the country are bitterly
comDlaining that we are suffering
from '‘too much politics" and that
complaint is justly founded. A
suggestion has been made to
change the constitution so that
when a president goes into the
White House he shall serve 6
years and shall not be permitted
to succeed himself. It has been
freely charged against our presi
dents for more than fifty years
past that as soon as he enters the
White House, he immediately be
gins to lay plans for winning his
second term instead of serving his
country to the best of his ability.
In other words this change would
compel a man to serve his country
instead of his own ambition.
There are a number of Demo
crats who desire that such a plank
should be incorporated in the Dem
ocratic platform when the con
vention meets in Baltimore next
June. This plank would make a
strong appeal to the business men,
both small and great throughout
the country, as a presidential year
is always a check on business.
TYPEWRITERS GIVEN
AWAY.
The Emerson Typewriter Com
pany of Woodstock, III., have re
cently given away over 400
of the highest grade, wholly visible
Emerson Typewriters made in the
world. They have gone into every
state and territory in the United
States. They may be some in
your town. They are giving them
away everywhere to men, women,
boys and girls, over 18 years of
age, on surprisingly liberal condi
tions.
If you could make any use of a
$100.00' typewriter, providing it
did not cost you even one cent,
then in a letter or on a postal card
addressed to Frank L. Wilder.
President, Woodstock, 111., simply
say, "Mail me all your Free Of
fers,” and by return mail you will
receive their Free Offers, the
names of over 400 who have re
cently received typewriters free,
and you will learn on what easy
conditions you can get one of their
typewriters free right away.
The Emerson Typewriter is one
of the highest grade, wholly visible
typewriters made in the world.
Many who have used the "EMER
SON" and other makes pronounce
the “EMERSON" superior to any
$100.00 typewriter on the market.
It is a wholly visible machine, has
every new. up-to-date feature,
looks like other high grade $100.
00 typewriters, though it sells
regularly for less and on terms of
$1.00 down and 10 cents a day
until paid for. The "EMERSON"
has every new improvement, uni
versal keyboard, back spacer, tab
ulator, two-color ribbon, everything
the best; is the ideal machine for
beginners as well as for the most
expert typists and stenographers:
just the typewriter for the smallest
'. or largest office.
If you could possibly make any
1 use of a high grade typewriter.
1 even though it didn't cost you a
1 cent of money, then be sure, on a
: postal card or in a letter addressed
j to “Frank L. Wilder. President.
| Woodstock. 11!.," say, "Mail me your
[! Free Offers."

Card from Paul Tatum.
To my Friends and Supporters in
my Race for Sheriff:
1 desire to inform you that rry
prospects are very bright and with
to warn you against all political re
ports circulated against me from
now on till the election.
I am in the race to win and am
not backed by any clique but am
running on my own merits. If you
see fit to make me your choice for
the office 1 will be the Sheriff of all
the people and not for any certain
class. 1 will discharge the duties
of the office as the laws of the
state direct.
I have no enemies to punish or
friends to especially serve. My
record as your Assessor is before
you and you will find this record
unstained.
Any report being circulated that
1 have lost votes in the west end
of the county is utterly false as I
will receive a larger vote in that
part of county than ever before.
Those who support and elect me
Sheriff will never have cause to
regret their actions as it will be my
earnest endeavor to make you the
best Sheriff Union county has ever
had. Yours truly.
Paul Tatum.
To the Democratic Voters.
Owing to the size of the District
and the very bad weather I have
been unable to make a very close
canvass of the entire District, and
1 want to say to one and all that I
have ever identified myself with
every enterprise that I thought
would build up our country and as
far as 1 was able, I have contri
buted my means and what ability
and influence I had to promote
general prosperity and better times.
I will use my experience and
knowledge of Agriculture to secure
laws that will help the farmer to
solve some of his problems, lighten
his burden and as far as possible
help him to market his products at
the least cost. 1 could give better
reasons for laws that would help
the farmers than any man who has
had no experience in Agriculture.
My services in congress would
benefit the entire South, and hence
my work in congress would be
worth many times my salary.
Friends use your VOTE and
INFLUENCE to send me to Con
gress.
Yours for SERVICE,
J. J. Moore.
James L. Graham.
Judge James L. Graham, candi
date for associate justice of the su
preme court, is a man well fitted
for the posision in temperament,
education, ability and experience.
He will receive practically the
unanimous vote in Garland county,
and from reports from over the
state it appears that his majority
will be overwhelming. Judge
Grafram is not a partisan politician,
but a jurist of great ability, and he
is known as such throughout the
entire state. He believes that ju
dicial offices should be removed
from partisan politics, and this po
sition is eminently correct. Being
one of the foremost lawyers in the
state: one of the most highly edu
cated men in the South, his nomi
nation and election would reflect
credit on the judiciary of the state.
In recognition of his ability as a
jurist it is said that all political
factions in the state are enthusias
tically supporting his candidacy.
His ancestors were some of the
leading jurists of this country his
grandfather was the Democratic
nominee for vice president of the
United States on the ticket with
General Winfield Scott. The peo
ple of the state will make no mis
take in electing Judge Graham an
associate justice of the supreme
court. Sentinel Record.
