John. Small ha* diagraMd V* twin* count; and the entire dfjy(?C ? |t* is a die?rac* in the Villa of Oougrew and hon est democrat* of Beaufort count; are going to (cratch John Smell's name on tfce. ballot election day. - JotuaSmaU exercising in* "pussy foot" methods is having his laSt rounds The ~peoph> begin lo see him in his true light and then is gnat reason why the good people of Beaufort county are gping to scratch John Small. John Small can't forever fool the people. lie can't for ever work with the bares and rim with the hounds that no mau knows which he represents. Jofci Small, Cong rvtsruiau for 18 years, is not even chair man of a committee. The public press* seldom mentions John Small and if the truth be known, when it docs, John &tuall writes some article, calls some reporters and tips them oil with the article iv l*e published. It is a known fact he (foes this in Beaufort county and of course some people are fooled. But John Small can't fool other congressmen. They can-t see any merit in John Small or they would put him forwaid in the chairmanship plum and it is certainly a disgrace to have a representative IS years who can't get a chairmanship. In Coiigreb? John Small is a very small po toto and his people an* tired of being humbugged. John Small's ability never put him in Congress. Xo one thought a democrat had a. ghost of a show for election and he was put in as "the goat*' and he has proven to be the goat ever since. What is John Smalls' record? Much of the time absent at voting or paired otF ; 'n other words swap his vote for something. Should lie vote either way it may olTend some of the folks back home -o lie sneaks out. That's not what is required. The Fir.-t district wants representation and this takes a man with sntticeint abiliiv to study out the bc-t and fight and vote for its passage; ojTend vvlioiii it may. No, J i dm Small's littleness leads him t ? attempt to shift the burden from hi- shonldi-r and he ha- been so successful in staying in (Vnirre-- by this method his fertile brain i 11 vented the preferential primary to shift the burden in post mastership and that wa* Hiclt a fragrant attempt to shift ? responsibility it rollers to John Small'* record which is cov ered by just such shifting re>pn-ib:.Iity. Therefore the people of Beaufort county are going to scratch John Small jrti! to toll him to r out. "r he will b ? put out. Ho is 'the proven "goat" while ii takes a man with "lion courage'* to represent justly. The records show that John Small ?rof np-n the flor?r of Congres* en two o<?eaH"ii* The la-t of theso was to prevent the Government paying ?lrt ..r ??" 0 a month to the wives and families of the home guard*, snatched from their love.l - tins to !.e sent to Mexico t>> bo shot r i piece- ? r lay ut in trenches f-r days, perhaps months, thinking of hi* destitute family bn<k home trying to exi*t on about $17 a month ? about PAID ADVERTISEMENT PAID ADVERTISEMENT enough to pay house rent, and begging or Jiving on charity for food and clothes, and a littW 1 1 not taring time nor mtans to make provision for Them- Wore being ordered to the front. Any other man in Congrvt* could hare taken that stand with better grace than John' Small, but it simply portrays die bitterness <rf the man. Listen : That same John Small arose on the floor of Con gress years ago when all neeesaitiea of life wene cheap and made another speech. I haven't the speech but I preSatoe he arose, swelled out his chest and spoke these words: "Mr. Chairman, we poor congressmen are not paid our worth. I can be found in the halls of the courts of North Carolina representing the trusts and corporations much of the time when I should be hero in the halls of Gongress because $5,000 a year is not sufficient for me to live on and pay an other attorney to work for me that I may hold my place and be actively represented in my law firm. Pay me $7,500 and I can cut out my personTl appearance in the Eastern Carolina courts fighting the common people. I can then hire another good lawyer to do that and give me more time to do something else. Therefore Mr. Chairman, I present this bill to raise ray salary from $5,000 to $7,500 and then I'll continue to get what T can outsid^."* If John Small didn't say those very identical words^I would like him to tell the people back home working for $300 to $800 a year what ho did say. Xow, what do you think of this man who can't get along | on a visible $5,000 a year and invisible no one knows what, refusing to pay a family $50 a month for the privilege of the Mexican killing their father, brother or son, dragged from their fireside. ?;? 1 J< h? Small's groat record is he put in a bill to pet $7,500 for all the congressmen and the bill passed, and then virtu ally said. "To II with the families of the common sol ! diers Some record that. - The representative who does things displeases some peo ple. Hi nee Jc-hn Small dees as little as possible and by this method !ia? held his job. thereby "feathering his nest" with out givinsr value received. True democrats of Beaufort county on election day are | p>in;? ti> scratch John Small that aftefr the vote is counted John Small's littlenrss at home may be shown a:?d to adviso | him he must get out or be put out. This is the only appcarance of this artielr there is no intent to have John Small's republican opponent elected. It is simply, a wa miner of what is to come. Not in a sneak I inir way of shifting the responsibility but straight-forward ! and honest. The best of democrats are going to scratch John I Small and T know you will scratch John Small from your bulla; and have your friend do likewise. A. C. IIATIIAWAY.

EUROPEAN WAR MAY LAST FOR EWE HEARS, IS THE OMR IN ENGLAND (By United Press),. (Note: Roy W? Howard, president of the United Prees, obtained from "he leaders of England. France and Germany their personal rlewm on the hances for peace. Their, statements^ ?tarnish the basis for the following artlclf) New York. Nov. 4. ? Roy W. How ard, president of the United Predfc Association, who Is now Irere, stated today that In neither England. France or1 Germany Is there the slightest evidence of the approaching end of the war. In no country is there any indication that the strug gle will be terminated within the next two years. There are, how ever, innumerable indications that the end Is much further off. Lord Northcllff Is urging the British to' make no calculations based on peace ' within the next Ave years. The Idea :urront in Germany,- fo the effect that. the French are noarly exhaust ed, has casued an unwarrantable op timism. On the other hand, the Idea is current among the allied countries that Germany is nearly exhausted. This is equally without justification. Germany wants peace now, not be cause she believes herself defeated, but because she thinks she Is nearer a military victory than she or any belligerent will ever be. The Brit inh nation, after two years of mud dling and stumbling, is now Into the war up to her eyebrows. : . Two factors blight all hopes for an early peace. The first Is Britain's determination to fight until she can | dictate her own terms and the second is Germany's'determlnation to main- | tain ah Impenetrable deefnslve for I an indefinite length of time.
