following precious document:
STATE OF IOWA,
BUCHANAN COUNTY,
|. VIM Richmond on oath do depose and say
that | have been approached by Il Republican
working in the Interests OF Laird, who said If l
would vote for, and lend Laird my influence in
securing the votes of certain class that should
not be disturbed in my business by Laird If elect
ed Sheriff. WIN. RICHMOND.
Sworn to before me and subscribed in my pres
ence, this 18th day of September, 1915
H. 81 +. E. ASHER,
Notary Public.
We will make brief disposition of the
above entirely characteristic item in the
Democratic campaign. This man Rich
mond is the keeper of tie most dangerous
rum shop in Independence. He, with
others of his class, are earnestly alive to
the interests of their business" which are
to be disturbed" or otherwise by the
election of one or the other of the candi-
dates for Sheriff.
Now if Richmond were approached, as
he says, with the assurance of immunity
from official annoyance in case he would
use his influence for Mr.. Laird, and Mr.
Van Orsdol has made him no such prom
Use, we should naturally and inevitably
expect to see him and his associates in the
whisky business working for Laird with
all their might. Now, what are the facts:
Richmond and the achole aoh,skey crew are
on tile side Of Mr. Van Orsdol, and dong
what they can-the above is specimen
to elect him. Is there nothing significant
about this? The rum-sellers have Il vita
interest in the election of Sheriff; they are
desperately in earnest where their "busi
ness" is concerned, as shown at every
election, and the decent and law-abid.ne
people of the county may rest assured
that the saloonists know what they arc
doing, and the men they support for OF
flee. They take no risks, either. They
are not supporting Mr.. Laird for Sheriff
and for, to them, good reason.

The stercotyped objections to the ballot

Interesting 10 Knoxville.

TO the Editors of the Chronicle:
During a short visit TO Maryville
some time since l learned some facts
which must prove of interest to Knox
Williams. They relate to the wooden
factory conducted by Messrs. Watkins
g. Hanna in that thriving village.
Something over year ago the gen.
tlemen came TO Knoxville, having
been attracted by numerous published
accounts of the advantages of this
beautiful country. Mr.. Hanna was
brought up, so to speak, in manu-
factory of wooden goods, and came
here thoroughly competent To Conduct
his business successfully. His partner,
Mr.. Watkins, understanding the put
ting up of machinery, the construction
of buildings &c, the united talent Ger.
tainly would have benefited Knox
vile greatly if the people here had
only chosen to see it.
They endeavored TO enlist some en-
teprising man in this project and APP.
piled naturally to the Mayor for infor-
nation. His Honor saw that IL was a
good chance, aud offered to become a
third partner. This was certainly en-
couraging; but when Messrs. Wat
kins d Hanna were informed that he
did not contemplate investing any
ready capital, but instead a house
and lot on Broad street, aud two va
cant lots in the eastern part of the
city, their expectation fell. As an
addition to the valuable real estate,
Mr.. Staub offered To give his influence
with East Tennessee TO establish a
trade This was considerable, to be
sure, but somehow the gentlemen from
Illinois could not see il. They had
money at stake, and of course wanted
a partner who would take an equal
risk.
Meanwhile the citizens Of Maryville,
conscious that the establishment OF
such factory as the gentlemen pro-
posed, would be a benefit to their
Town, began to discuss the subject OF
offering them inducements hard to re-
sist.
Messrs. Watkins & Hanna offered ia
give SO much for a certain property in
Maryville; but as the owner wanted
more, there seemed little chance for q
trade. Then IL was that Mr.. Greer ex-
erted his influence and induced his
| fellowtownsmen to contribute volnn.
tarily twelve hundred dollars the
| difference that existed between the
two parties--that the factory might be
esrablished there. 40 10 was hat
