NCE MONITOR "THE PAPER THAT EVERYBODY READS" VOL.5 INDEPENDENCE, POLK COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1916 NO. 13 INDEPENDE THE RHYMING SUM MAR 1ST This election has been mighty close With Hughes and Wilson running, The suspense has been awfully great, And no time for funning; Wilson wins in the final count Which is to many soothing, But had he lost, Received a frost, The world would keep on moving. Asa B. R. won with ease, His many friends are feteing, He seems to be one of us, Who never gets a beating; He not only packs this town And all the farms it covers, But we also note That he gets the vote In many of the others. y For J. S. B. we cannot shout, No victor' chant a humming, But if he will wait a little while, His day is surely coming; When neighbors unite in such a way, Both sides and in the middle, John will land To beat the band And diddle dad the diddle. Now lets forget the politics With all its cares and fretting, Turn our thoughts to other things, And cut out vain regretting; The-battle is over, lias been won, Nothing to gain by fuming, You know the rest Put on your best And do some big town booming.

McLendof this place has been promoted to the rank of sergeant in the United States Marine Corps, according to late reports from Washington headquarters. Clinton, who is the son of Job McLeod of Independence, re-enlisted in the United States Marine Corps at the Winthrop Rifle Range on October 4, 1915, and was recently recommended by a board of examining officers for this advancement. Marines are military men who serve both on land and sea, and Sergeant McLeod is at present on a period of shore duty at Bremerton, Wash. Mr. McLeod has rendered valu able services to the "soldiers of the sea", and his many friends in Independence will be pleased to learn of his success. DIED John S.

JOHN DOES WELL John Boh .nn n made a sweep ing race lor c mmissionor carry ing Independence by 403, Mon mouth by 71, Bue a Vista by 107, Suver by 39, Eola by 13 and Luikiamute by 19, hut despite this large vote of 712 to the good, he was defeated by over 800. Because of prejudice against Independence in the north part of the county, that section went almost unanimously for Mansion as did Falls City. Tho defeated, John can feel proud of his vote among the "home folks." - - BAKER WINS While J. G. Mcintosh carried Independence by a small major ity, Monmouth, Suver and Buena Vista went for Baker and the latter was elected. J. II. Moran for constable had no opposition. . -4 MONMOUTH COMPLETE Hughes 289, Wilson 3f6, Haw ley 341. Weatherford 286, Pi asecki 281, Tooze 211, Holman 233.

WIN WILSON L , ..." -;:lvmn I'hoto copyriulit, 1912, by American I'rwm Aiwoclullon. WOODROW WILSON. There were two landslides Tuesday. One when the Ivast went for Hughes and another when the West uniting with the South aided by Ohio and possibly New Hampshire re-elected Wood row Wilson president of the United States. A remarkable and unexpected combination which never happened before. The Oregonian,,thq greatly disappointed" in ' the result, gleefully shouts that it shows the East that the Missouri river was not the western boundary of the United States. Wilson carried every state west of the Mississippi river with the exception of Oregon, South Dakota, Iowa and perhaps Minnesota. Ilughes.carried Oregon by nearly 8000 and i'olk county by 06. Hawley, McArthur and Sinnott were re-elected to congress. ELECTORAL COLLEGE I ?
