"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.

MARINE PROMOTED
By showing exceptional ability
and military proficiency, Clinton
W. 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. Moore, a well known
and popular resident of Inde
pendence, passed away on Tues

years and six months. A large
number of friends attended the
funeral services which were held
in the Presbyterian church yes
terday afternoon. He was
buried in the I. O. O. F.
cemetery. An obituary will be
published next week.
DELAYED
An injunction by Judge Belt
restraining the Valley & Siletz
railroad from laying track on
certain portions of Ninth street

take sorne time.

ton. 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."

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.
