waged. The Registers columns are
filed this week with bitter denuncia-
tions. A three.quarter column editorial
on The Pomona Times and Its Slanders
of Our Officials, starts out this way ::
Last week we took that slanderous
sheet. the Pomona Times, by the throat
regarding it's foul aspersions upon Trus-
tees Elliot and Gallup
Again: "We do not propose to per-
NIT the Times and its fellows to slander
our high license officials or our citizens
with impunity."
In lengthy editorial, Our Patrons
and Our Policy, the Register first states
that it is in our midst, and expects to
continue here, fighting the battles Of
the High License party.

if they wish their business to return to
the high volume and honorable stand
ing their leaders left it in 1889, when
the fanatics succeeded to power secured
by deceptive promises; if they would
see their lots and lands increase again
in value and saleableness to the high

midst, the tools of filthy officers enforc-

fettered American citizens, would walk
the streets exempt from arrest
and conviction on the testimony
of ex-horse thieves and jailbirds,
the offscourings of creation, the
scum of the universe, the basest of
the beasts bearing the human form and

man on the succeeding day is to be put on
trial for his honor and his liberty, for the
purpose of influencing the jury's delib-
erations and securing the conviction of
the accused, dexterous omissions of his
name and his case from the pr ceedings
of the meeting and careful avoidance of
coming technically within the purview
of the laws being resorted to; if they
would see the sale of liquor licensed by
law, the licenses limiting its sale and
bene6ting the city by relieving the tax
payer and lessoning taxation; if,
finally, they would welcome
the return of happiness to
home, prosperity to business, confidence
Of the outside in our integrity and in
telligence, they must do good service for
the cause during the tine between to-
day and the next April city election, for
the foe has organized for the fray, and
has its organ grinding weekly erists of
falsehood, and defending the unjust acts
of the party OF disorder, disgrace and
prohibition.
Then follows what the Register is
going to do, and asking every high
license man, every one having the good
of Pomona at heart, to aid in the credit
able undertaking.
