Exercise Your Right;
Go To Polls and Vole
The B. F. Goodrich Company has
taken the initiative among the large
American industries in appealing to
its empolyes to cast their ballot.
The appeal is so strong so ap-
plicable to every American citizen
that it is herewith reproduced:
The right to vote is power. The
right to vote is the emblem of pro-
tection. The right to vote is the
instrument that goes with and
makes for. freedom.
It's the thing that marks the line
between freedom and slavery be-
tween liberty and despotism; be-
tween equality and caste. It's the
thing that makes the American citi-
zen his own king
The citizen who doesn't vote is
not necessarily unpatriotic. He is
not necessarily disloyal. He is not
necessarily ungrateful.
The simple fact is that he's asleep.
He's slumbering on his rights. He's
not using his club of protection.
He's the sentry who doesn't watch.
He's the riant who fritters his
strength. He's the soldier whu
loiters in the rear. He's the freed-
man who forgets the slavery of his
forebears.
If somebody tried to deny you the
right to cast your ballot you'd fight
with the strength of a lion. And
you'd recall meantime that suf-
frage is sanctified by human blood.
"Eternal Vigilance Is the Price of
Liberty. Vigilance means think-
ing reading inquiring learning
voting. The time yon spend that
way is never wasted.
An election is here. It's not the
time to shirk or quibble it's the
time to think and vote.
Let's all be real citizens!
Let's have our say!
Let's exercise our power!

Army on the Border Hears That President to Take New
Stand Towards Mexico if Elected and Banditry
Keeps Up; If Railroad Is to Be Built by Persh-

MI
ILITARY officers particularly
national guardsmen who have
been excited for two days over
reports that Gen. John J. Pershing has
tentative orders to "go after Villa" and
stay after him until he is caught he-
came further excited by the presence
here of Brig. Gen. "William Croxier
chief of ordnance of the United States
army.
The presence of Gen. Crozier here so
closely following the visit of Lieut.
Col. C. B. Baker chief of the army
transportation service who with J. G.
Hogers president of the American Rail-
way association and general superin-
tendent of the Pennsylvania lines has
Sone south to visit Gen. Pershing
caused a good deal of speculation. The
report is out that the visit of CoL
Baker and Mr. Rogers has to do with
plans for constructing a railroad from
Columbus to Gen. Pershing's ba:e. for j
me transportation ot supplies muiur
trucks with flanged wheel to be used
as the means of locomotion.
Cnn Mean Only One Thing.
If this is true officers argue it tan
mean but one thing that the stay of
Pershing in Mexico Is to be prolonged
and that he is to require more sup-
plies than he is using now. With the
rainy season over and the prospects
good for good roads for at least an-
other nine month military men sa
that an step- to i-onstruct a train -v.a
to the Pershing Nase can mean
nothing more than further and more
extensive military operations in Mexico.
This transportation talk taken with
the persistent border report that presi-
dent "Wilson convinced of the inability
of Carranza to handle the bandit sit-
uation satisfactorily has derided to

IFILIi IS EMO
garding further American activities is
that in the event of a Republican vic-
tory president Wilson intends to let
matters rst as they are to muddle
themselves still more for the new ad-
ministration to take bold but that If
he is elected he will not hesitate to
order immediate "pacification" of
northern Mexico by American treops.
The "he has kept us out of war" talk
will not count for anything after the
votes have been cast it is argued and
the president will carry forward the
campaign against Villa and other ban-
dits regardless of consequences.
If WHon I Elected.
Except for this campaign some of
the officers say. the president would
some time ago have told Pershing to
resume activities. Democratic officers
here with supposed "underground"
news sources assert that the president
if elected will at once assume an en-
tirely different attitude towards the
Mexicans; that he has followed an in-
