Du ring the pa st lew weeks the Herald, has bad m any request# as to why th e re was no t a n Independent ticke t pu t in the field th is fall. To a ll the inquirer# wc have answered t h a t there did no t seem to. be enough o l crystallised sen tim en t for such a move- , m en t following the first tria l of the nfcw prim ary law, Tiie H ekaia >has always stood for a primary-so long as such .was conducted in the interests of the people and not a “one man” affair, where candidates were counted in or outjust as those har­ ing oharge saw fib. While we hare been implored from most ♦rety quarter to agitate a,movement for the election of a repre­ sentative man for mayor of the village, we have deemed it expe­ dient to rotnsln silent on the subject and allow the coming ad­ ministration to survive or perish on the platform on which J .H . Andrew was nominated. > The suffrage of the people has no t been considered in the selec­ tion of the on-coming executive. A p la tfo rm so wide th a t all classes could stand thereon was adop ted a t a secret ga the ring on a Sabbath n igh t in a certain d rug store.* I f was a t th is gathering th a t the names of J , H . Andrew and J . W. Pollock were mentioned. The prop rieto r of the drugstore, who has gained more c rie s# repu te owing to. liquor violations, promptly vetoed any proposition in the consideration of the l a t­ ter’s name. Mr. Andrew was the only m an t h a t Mr. Ridgway could place any confidence m and th is gentleman was forced into the race on the cry of a “ business adm in istration” for the people. Mr, Andrew d id n e t w an t th e nom ination and we are told t h a t he destroyed the first paper petitioning his name on the ticket. The same people thafcbrougbfc\him out the first time sta rted the , second paper and Mr. A n d r e w s au tho rity for the s ta tem en t th a t he would no t have allowed the uae.sf his nnifie the second time had it no t been for the H erald exposing the Sunday base bail games th a t were being played on his farm a t th a t time. W ith th is sta tem en t Mr. Andrew wen t before the liberal element and asked for th e ir support. No t satisfied w ith th is, voteB were pu r­ chased in an .pen m anner in order t h a t Mr. Andrew m igh t be nom fnated.and the H e U ald “ shown up .” Mr. Ridgway became active in the Andrew movement and left no stone unturned. The slogan of a “business adm in istration” was th e keynote of the campaign and Mr. Ridgway quietly spread the information among h is friends th a t there would be no W* O. T. U. and chu rch influence w ith the Andrew adm in istra tion and th a t temperance cranks were to be relegated to t h e rear. The “ open, town” was w ha t was wanted and w h a t was p rom ised .. AS for th e “ business adm in istra tion” th e H erald desires to inform, its reade rs th a t i t was n o t for the pub lic th a t Mr. Ridgway became so public sp irited . Mr. R idgway was found gu ilty of two counts in Mayor Wolford’s cou rt fo r v iolation of th e liquo r laws. H is fines amounted to $400 and costs. - Mr. R idgway has lo st these oases in the Common F leas and C ircu it Courts and w ill w ithou t doubt moot th e same fa te in the Supreme Court. Now mayor, J . H . Andrew, i t is expbotea t h a t th is official w ill c a rry ou t Mayor Wolford’s original sentence, R u t th is lies w ith th e discretion of the mayor and is n o t m anda to ry , H e re is where Mr. Ridgway gains his first “business” po in t n a d 8Jf« Andrew is pledged to do the tric k , or Mr. R idgway h a s falsified te a close friend. .. >It has been susplcioned for the p a s t few years th a t the Andrew Bros, w o rt s ilen t p a rtn e rs in th e d rug business w ith Mr, R idg­ way. D u ring the time of the ra id la s t J u ly i t was T, B. Andrew, who by the use of his automobile sp irited Mrs, Ridgway ou t ol , town a fte r closing Up th e store. This foiled the work of t h e de­ tectives, fo r a sho rt time u n til th e a rriv a l of the proprietor, who h ad been ou t of town, leaving ins wife in charge. I t was J . H , Andrew who stood guard a t the fron t door of the R idgway es- tabllshmenfeWhile the officers were load ing booze from the back door in to a wagon. I t was T. B , Andrew who went on Ridgway'# bor l fo r both c^ses. I t was T. JB. Andrew who acted as dispen­ s e r du ring M r, R idgway’s trip to Cuba la s t w inter. I f th e An­ drew Bros, have no financial in te te s t in th is store why then do th ey do for Mr, Ridgway t h a t which they do no t for any one else? Mr. Ridgway has ano the r eye to business. H e has increased th e price of, h is th roa t-w ash to 115cents a ha lf-p in t and 60 cents a p in t. Th is i* only lay ing th e ground work fo r a prosperous two y e a rs and wo are sure th a t Mr, Andrew will no t embarnss h is friend in any manner. Another promise t h a t m u st be kep t o r a certain class disap­ pointed and th a t is th e sta tem en t of Mr, Andrew t h a t first of­ fenders before h im w ill be released and told to go home and use better judgment. There being no discrim ination, i t makes no difference who comes before His Honor, the first time, all are to be liberated . A number of years ago J . H . Andrew ran for township treasur­ e r on the Prohibition ticke t. This was m the days when such a step appeared to he a wise po litical move b u t the candidate m et de fea t ju s t th e same. Insince rity to the cause of the p a rty jm s the charge of the defeat then and i t seems th a t he has appeared in the double role ever since. I t would be an injustice to attem p t to defeat any candidate who claims to bear an honored nams runn ing on such a p latfo rm and en ter office bound and fettered. On Jan u a ry 1st, Mr, Andrew tak e s up the reins o f th e village government and we a re to. have two prosperous years under a “Business adm in istration .” I f he stand s by h is promises he will reap the w ra th and indignation of a Ch ristian community, If he fa ils be reaps the enm ity of his friends whose scorn will out like a two edged sword, f Great Sale Of Jerseys. — i .

While Ridgway claimed th a t Mrs, Hamilton,waa working u p -a whis­ key case ag a in st him , he has la te r offered ano ther explanation and states th a t “ Dick” Jones brought the rug there while he was em­ ployed as a porter.* This only com­ plicates the m a tte r the more and brings a n o th e r, p a rty in that protests of having any knowledge about the rug, The exposure of the p lo t of the gang to land Jud a s W righ t in th e school board threw the followers into a fft of fr* nzy and all day Sat­ urday these men were explaining how it all happened.
