esting to know just whereabouts in
Akron that mOmentOus meeting were
held? And why Ferd. Schumacher,
Vice-President of the State Union, was
not there? Why was he not invited
there? He would gladly have attended
any special official meeting held within
gunshOt of his place of business, as
this meeting must have been. Also
why w. H. DOan, of Cleveland,
| Treasurer of the organization,
was not invited to attend a meeting
where so important subject was to be
disposed of? Everybody knows that he
attends all important meetings. Again,
why was not Vice President John Ad-
ans, of Newark, summoned for cOuncilP
In fact why were not the officers and
members Of the Board officially notified
of the time, place and purposes of the
meeting? There are only nine of
them, and notice would readily have
reached them all. The reasons why
these things were not done fairly and
hOnOrably are very simple. Had there
been a full meeting of officers and

reached, and none knew it better than
Justice, Tucker, Ryder and Baird, for
although not an officer,
BAIRD WAS IN THE AKRON CONFERENCE.
Tucker and Baird were the arch plot
ters and cOnspiratOrs, and between them
they pressed Justice and Rider into the
| dOi ora Of ON unfair diohonora hIa thin or :.
the prOmulgatiOn of decision in which
other mems views and standing were
concerned and misrepresented, without
affOrding them an opportunity to be
heard from upon the subject. When
the Secretary says: "The Officers and
Board of Managers decided" ETC., he
wilfully and knowingly
STATES WHAT is UNTRUE,
for only three of the officers met, and
the rest had no notice of such a meet
ing. Again, not less than five officers
will constitute quorum for the trans
action of any business, so that the little
done by the trio was not only done un-
fairly and dishOnOrably. but was done
in violation of the constitution, and
was done secretly, quietly and in the
dark, as all dirty political jobs are done.
They ground their action on the non
political non sectarian character of the
o. s. c. T. U. If that be the character of
= the organization, then what call for
them to decide not to support the Love-
land ticket, any more than to decide not
to support either of the other tickets ?
This is truly singular way to preserve
a non partizan character? No, no, gen.
tlemen, its
SIMPLY BARGAIN AND SALE
on the part of Tucker and Baird, and
Justice and Rider have been duped.
j. A. Justice, in explanation of the
act, says ''The language used by
Brother Rider in his statement is prOba-
bly, little unguarded, but in the
main is correct when properly under
stood" From this we must conclude
that even the decision itself was not
formulated at the three cOrnered con-
! ference, but was left with Rider to be
finished up and given to the public
whenever Tucker, Baird and Foster
(yOu know Foster is only a
tail to Tucker and Baird's kite)
Said so. The goth day of August, one
month lacking three days after the de-
cision was unfairly, dishOnOrably and
uncOnstitutionally reached, was
thought an OppOrtune time. Well
might the editor of the Akron Beacon
cry out, why didn't we get hold of this
long ago. The Republican press, like
a hungry animal, grasped the "straw," "
and only straw it will prove, for even
Justice, in further explanation says
| 81 suppose that nearly all the Murphy
boys, when they come to use their sOv-
ereign power as voters, will
| vote the LOveland ticket" It
does not tally very well with the
statement of the secretary: "It was
decided not to support the third party
} ticket" etc. There is nice little prob
: lem here for the Republican press to
7 solve. Who knows best what was meant
J at the three-cOrnered conference, Pres
J ident Justice or Secretary Rider?
The Republicans will find in Tucker
Baird, CalderwoOd and Bowen quar-
tette of white elephants. Only temper
ance people are expected to vote the
LOveland ticket, and they know these
men, and know that either of them will
take any side of any question for a
THRILLING MONEY CONSIDERATION.

Prohibition in Michigan good thing
For money they argue (virtually) free
beer and free whisky in Ohio good
