For 32 Years State and County Extracts From Col. \ Sargent’s Speech Election Returns The following are extracts from Col. H. H. Sargent’s speech, deliver ed with telling effect at different points throughout the county during the campaign against county seat re moval. iti The The republican landslide which started Novemher 2nd increases in dimension daily, late reports being to the effect that Warren G. Harding will receive overwhelming major ities from coast to coast and north to south. Returns received until Friday assured him of about 400 votes in the electoral college, with in dications that one or two doubtful states would add to this majority. In 1294 ou,t of 1699 precincts in Ore gon Harding receive'd 105,185 and Cox 58,688 votes. In the senatorial race the defeat of Senator Chamberlain at the hands of Robert N. Stanfield is conclusive proof that this is an republican year. Incomplete returns giving Stanfield an insurmountable lead of 13,471. Tho following practically complete returns shows the winners in Jackson county together with their pluralities: For President, Harding by 1867 votes. You will see by the circular letter which I have commented upon tonight and which doubtless you have all re ceived that the captain and pilot of the enterprise is still on deck. I had felt certain that he had desorted the ship at the beginning of the voyai e. A few nights ago it all to me in a dream-I saw the ship. Chamber of Commerce plowing through the rough waters trying to weather the storm. There were quite a number of Medford lawyers on board. The fo lifted and I could see the ship was about to strike the jagged rocks only a few yards ahead. Floating about the ship were many old papers most of them being court house petitions on which were written “fraud and per jury”. It appeared that the captain and pilot had not after all deserted ten, and I warn you th it if the people the ship; he had simply fallen over vote to build a new court house for board. A life line had just been Jackson county they will in all likli- thrown to him and he was standing hood suffer for it just as old Macoupin on deck bedra jgled and dr p. ing.

The next word was a'most indistinguishable, I could not for the life of me tell whether it was “talk or fight” but possibly it may have been both. Struggling in the water were three men. One was much exhausted but after making a desperate effort he was about to reach shore. There was a Mail Tribune in his pocket and plainly the editorial head lines “For God sake, save the old re cords in the wood shed. Another had sunk for the second time but he still held aloft in one hand which seemed to be a complimentary editorial tak en from the Mail Tribune and he cnod out, “If you can't save‘me, save this! I save this! for my posterity, ” and a third, a pretty good swimmer, inorder to attract the attention of the ship« crew was waving frantically a paper on which was written, “Receipt for Automobile taxes.

Carlinville Illinois, is my home town. Carlinville is the county seat of Macoupin county. Soon after the Civil war the Deop e of Macoupin county decided to build a court house. When completed it was, and is, a beautiful buiiding;stateiy and imposing, costing over a m Ilion dol lars when labor and material were cheap. Just such a buildiug as Med ford would like to have. From boy hood to young mar,hood I lived under the shadow of the load the taxpayers had to carry. For almost forty years the people struggled to clear their county of the burden imposed upon them by the bui'ding of this court house. Finally when the last b onds were paid off they had an immense meeting of the citizens of Macoupin county at Carlinville, the largest assem bly known there. They killed the fat ted ox, burnt the paid off bonds and rejoiceff exceedingly. It was a lesson .never to be forgot- “Wet Weather Comforts” We have a full line of Red Ball White Rubber Shoes Red Pall Boots Lewis Ulrich Pioneer Merchant Jacksnville, Ore ,z3.
