La Follette and President Taft both
withdraw in favor of Albeit .1. Ilev-

He criticized La Follette as having
taken up those things which might
be termed popular and that con-
tained the least danger to him-'-'elf.
He said he did not believe that
Follette could be nominated cr elect-
ed if nominated.
"While LaFollette did a great
work in ridding Wisconsin of cor-
rupt railioadr combinations he said
nothing against the brewery domina-
tion of tile state' said the governor
and he probably would not have got-

in my opinion is not as bad as his
enemies .-ay he is nor as good as
lie says he is."

STATE COMMISSIONER OF HIGH-
WAYS WANTS COMMISSIONERS
TO GET BUSY.
'"Now is the time for the county
commissioners and the city commis-
sioners to get together and build a
permanent asphalt macadam road
from the end of the paved street to
the ccruetery" said State Commission-
er of Highways Sidney Suggs today.
"The city has a rock crusher that is
lying idle they also have the teams
that could be used on this work. The
county commissioners say that their
teams will be idle within a few days
and Inasmuch as the best road build-
ing material on earth is so close at
hand .this work can be done. There
is a commissioned state highway en-
gineer who lives in this city and the
department of highways wlil agree to
lend every assistance possible to
build a road as good as ever con-
structed by Caesar or Napoleon.
"This will give a great number of
idle men employment and prove a
great blessing to all the people who
live in the city and surrounding coun-
try . If anyone has a doubt as to the
necessity of this road being built a
trip over the present highway will
convince them that it should be. Now
let this piece of work amount to
something more than mere talk. Many
visitors will come from over the
state to see and examine and no doubt
adopt this method of building pr-
manent roads throughout the state."

COULDN'T QUIT CREDIT BUSINESS
My customers and friends were sorry when I told you in No-
vember that I would quit the credit business on December 1st. I
tried and couldn't do it but I will swear that I had more people
than ever wanting credit. Some wanted to pay $1 down and some
half down; others wanted the full bill of goods with nothing down.
For this reason I am going to continue the easy-payment plan
until January 1st. But please don't ask me to loan you any cash.
The first payment makes you and I partners. I am overstocked and
Dwe my creditors for several carloads of new goods. Walking is
good on our paved Caddo street so come up and see our goods and
prices. No trade no harm. No rents to pay so I sell the cheap
st. New and secondhand goods of all kinds.
