States Attorney.

Some of the main points TO be con
sidered by the citizens of Addison
County in reference TO the States At
torney question, are the following no
terious facts:
First. denomination has been made.
Every voter is free from all party obi
cations to support anyone he chooses.
The Republican party in Convention
assembled voted TO refer the whole mat
ter to the people at the polls, and the
Democratic party has held no conven-
ton.
Second, Tho controversy is in no re-
spect a personal one. Ii Is purely q
eontes. of principles. Both candidates
before the people arepersonally worthy
men. II there is any choice between
them, except in the principles they rep
resent, 1t is not necessary, for the pur-
poses Of this campaign, to mention it..
Third, The real and only issue to
be decided Is whether or not the pro-
hibitory liquor law is to be enforced in
Its spirit and letter. One candidate is
supported by temperance men, because
IL Is understood that he will continue
his efforts to suppress the traffic in in
toxicating drinks. The other candi-
date is supported by those opposed TO
the efficient enforcement Of the liquor

a distance of some two miles with the

continues hot, it will be almost impossible
to prevent the breaking out Of pestilence,

Of missing has been reduced, by careful

1--WE know Mr.. Chapman to he de-
termined temperance man. We are
positive as to his ability, and have
been assured by him that if elected he
would enforce the prohibitory law with
perfect impartiality.
What the temperance people now
want to know.is what is meant by a
- determined temperance man." and
by that other assurance che would en-
force the prohibitory law with per
feet impartiality.' " Does this mean
that he will serve all alike by letting
them all sell what they wish to?
