Wilson is nearer like Abraham Lincoln
fn thought and action than any pres
ident or statesman since Lincoln's
time."
With this statement G. S. Andrus,
pioneer of Grant county, who heard the
historic debate between Lincoln and
Stephen A. Douglas at Quincy, 111., ex
plains why he, though a lifelong Re
publican, is giving his support to Pres
ident Wilson in the present campaign
Mr. Andrus is hero from. JU
home at Long- Creek. At the tlm
Lincoln was a canaiaato lor pres
ident he was a resident of Keokuk.
Iowa, and was a member of the Lin
coin campaign club called the "Wide
awakes," as opposed to the "Hickories,
who were out for Douglas. When Lin
coin and Douglas were scheduled to de
bate at Quincy both organizations took
a eteamer for that city and attended
the debate.
"I heard that speech of Lincoln and
never will I forget It," he said. "I
have read practically all of the utter
ances of President Wilson and have
followed his record closely, and I truly
believe he Is more like Lincoln than
any president or statesman since Lin
coln's time. That's why I am sup
porting him for re-election."
Mr. Andrus had another reason with
which, he said, he ended all political
arguments. "I've been a freighter and
teamster on this coast for over 60
years," he said, "and always when I
found a horse that pulled true, up bad
hills and out of bad holes, I kept him.
I never believed in swapping such a
horse in the middle of a trip for a
horse that I had .never seen In harness."

Residents Seeking
. Better Car Service
Question Taken XT? by University TxX
Improvement - Club and St. Joans
Dwellers.
To determine what action can be se
cured in the matter of Improved car
service, a meeting of a special com
mittee from the University Park Im
provement club, with two representa
tives of St. Johns, will be held tonight
at University Park.
Residents assert the peninsula dis
trict has more Industrial institutions
than other suburbs, and, consequently,
is entitled to better service, and also
that the car service figures In the set
tlement of the peninsula. Although
the street car company would be put
to more expense In the improvement of
the service, it is the popular belief
that it would be repaid in time by
tne establishment of a larger popula
tion on the peninsula.
Those on the committee are: ' C. A.
Dotson, R. O. Bachman, president and
secretary respectively of the Univer
sity Park Improvement club; K. C.
Couch, president of the .St. Johns Com
mercial club; George Dearlove, Wal
lace Mason, F. I. Randall. H. B. Allen
and another member, who will be ap
pointed to represent the St. Johns district.
