Regardless of any* charges that are afloat'as to your standing .on- this issue I have prepared the questions'with‘ the hope that you >; Will define your position in no ,iin- certain terms. ' The voters are de­ sirous of knowing yoUr positiop • thus’ preventing a repetition of sending arepresenfalive to the leg­ islature that,would take the same stand Senator F. G. Athens? did the past two sessions. Feeling that the temperance vo­ ters axe largely in the Majority in the-comity your success ih Novem­ ber will require this vote. If you - do not cafe toanswer'all the ques­ tions answer such as you like' ’.but I , earnestly hope that you-can give a - clear answer to each./., i ‘ » - - While’ the temperance- iBSne is - foremost in the state, the choice of a United States Senator iB jusfc a* . important in National affairs.

Foraker for United States Senator oven though he is Gib cauens nominee? ‘ A report is going the rounds that the.Board of Flections ih this coup-., ty will ignore a long established rule this fall as to the Selection of judges anil clerks. As tho law pla­ ces suoli appointments in the power Of this board alone .there is little hope of a change. For years under the present law the hoard made all appointments for judges and clerks on the recommendation of the com­ mitteemen. This Was true with each. of the two leading parties, As the local option election comes before the regular election the judges and clerks will probably be named sooner than usual. They will be appointed for a year. Some aro prone to contend that is a part of a'plan to name those favorable to the wets. Others claim that the sdcret movement Is in the interest o f certain Jamestown candidates and that there is a chance to trade votes on the state and national tickets for congress and member to the state legislature, It is also known that members of the Flec­ tion Board are none too friendly with the present central committee and the executive committee and that a trade in votes might cost them the county for tho Republi­ cans. The loss would then be charged to the new organization, better known as tho Taft followers. Such tactics were tried ill tho last primary and fay tho vote it was proven that the people will ih tho end have their Say, and it will not be for machine methods. Time wifi tell just What the resultWill be and the public anxiously awaits the action o f the Board of Flections, LONGEST DROUTHS, Somebody, with a iove for .detail,, and'plenty of time to to dispose of as he saw fit, has taken upon him­ self to revive some did records, e’ en back as far as the days of the Pil grims, in order to show that this is not the only generation that can have long drouths.

For some time Jesse Taylor ha# been paying Mrs. Flatter, Connty presl!* dent of the organization, compli­ ments that would not look well in print.
