HARDMAN PARAGRAPHS ’
FROM COMMERCE NEWS
4
Hardman has a record, both pub
lic and private that no niau, friend
or foe, has ever assailed. In this
day when it is so common to in
ject personalities into the cam
paign, Hardman’s record, private
and public would have been attack
ed, if it had been vulnerable.
The politicians are not for Hard
man. They opposed him two years
ago. But the common people are
Hardman’s friends. They support
ed him two years ago, and they are
for him now. If elected, he will
owe his election to the common
people.
Some of the weekly papers are
predicting that the next governor
will be elected by tlie convention,
instead of the people. May be so,
but the indictions are that Hard
man will go to the convention with
enough votes to insure his election.
That headline in the Sunday pa
pers, “Hardman, the next gover
nor,” in bold black type, looked
good, and those letters contained
a real prophecy. That Hardman is
now in ttie lead, and gaining ground’]
every day, is a fact generally ad
mitted.
:i
\ ^ *
There’s mjthing new in Hard
man’s recent declarations, except
in two issues that were not before
the people two years ago. These
are: The State Road and Usury.
Hardman was the first and only
candidate to come out flat-footed
and demand the enforcement of the
state law that prohibits banks from
charging more than 8 per cent.
And Hardman, himself, is president
of a bank.
Two years ago Hardman financed
his own campaign, and he is doing
the same thing now. No man or
set of men, no corporation, railroad,
or liquor dealer, nor even the pro
hibitionists, has, or will contrib
ute one cent to his campaign ex
penses. Can any other candidate
now in the race say as much? So
that, when he is elected, he will go
Ittfo the office unfettered, with no
strings tied to him And that’s
worth 'While.

In the Interest of Economy Chief
Young is Dismissed.
The Mayor and Council deeming
it necessary to reduce expenses,
and as in their opinion the servi
ces of one of the policemen can be
dispensed with without any mate
rial disadvantage, and as a matter
of economy a motion Was regular-
front which radiates sunshine, good
cheer and comfort. We feel sure
that he saw that Light which leads
to a glorious destiny.
How many of us, I wonder, stop
to think what it means to really
live? That our deeds and the in
fluences of our lives are felt long
after we have been transported to
the world beyond? What "theiv
shall be our lives? Grrat Souls rd-i
ceive great gifts in order that they,
may transmit them. While Wemay
not all be great, we each have n*
place to till. Dare we go on living
within ourselves? Shall wc go out
of this world without first jiayjn$
helped to make it better dr another
happier because of our presence
here? V,, \
A good man never dies; ho may
leave us in a physical sense, but he
is with us still for he draws us on
and on by the light that irradiated'
through his life, giving strength to
our faith and encourages us on our
way. We may admire the brave
and the great, but he that is good
and noble in spirit inspires us to
a higher aim, and we remember that
lis not fame that wears the crown
of glory but the brightest light that
ever shone was o’er Him, the Christ
child, in a lowly manger, through
whom, we hope some day lo join our
beloved Mr. Wiggins where he lives
eternally, for death is nol the end
of life but merely a step from this
to a more beautiful one. We miss
him now, but shall not mis.,' him
long for life here is but a day and
ere long we, too, shall be called to
meet the Savior.
