regular one because nominated by a
majority of the party. The face OF the
returns on election day shows no breach
in the party as MI. Bev.s received -
majority over the Monitors prohibit I
ton friend, Mr.. Dubois, and five ciu-
didates received less than Mr.. Bevis.
The highest man on the ticket had -
majority. winch shows that the Nome
tors great big ''hOwl," rebellion
and ''breaeh'' consisted of one solitary

Monitor has been preaching prohitI-
ton the Prohibition vote in Pllesgteye
township has increased from Al TO H.
If it takes eight years to make three
votes by sinking several hundred dol
lars in publishing a newspaper That
length of time how soon will the Hoai'

for prohibition? We will give the
Monitor credit for the one vote in Up
