petition for the pardon of F. A. Sprague
have arrived here, and report that in parts
of the county where land is held in large
tracts men who sign for Sprague are boy
cotted by the landowners. MANY laborers
have been turned off from work, and rent
ers who have refused to sign against
Sprague have been refused land for the
coming year. This creates bitter feeling
among the small landowners and people
generally. The last of the series of meet

Brooks. There was an ovation to the
speaker, which was large and enthusiastic.
