MORE ABOUT THE ROW
A Copy of the Lieber Article Which
Editor Wilson Refused to Print.
The Latter Explains Why He Issued Stock on
His Paper-It Was Merely a Little In
genious Advertising Scheme.

The publ cation in the Journal yester-
day morning of the facts concerning the
al te-election row between the Democratic
State central committee and the State Sa-
loon-keepers' League caused considerable
talk among politicians and others on the
streets yesterday. As stated yesterday. the
main cause of this row was the refusal on
the part of Albert Lieber, manager of the
English brewing syndicate, to turn over to
President Beatty and attorney Scale
of the Saloon-keepers' League $500
on demand osteDsibly for the benefit of the
Democratic campaign fund. Up to the
time this demand on Mr.. Lieber was made
James b. Wilson. editor of the Right and
Freedom. and Messrs. Beatty and Scale had
been dwelling together in comparative
peace and harmony. After Lieber's refusal
to put up the legislative committee got its
back MP and prepared the following
(alluded to yesterday morning. for pub.
LEGATION in the Right and Freedom. which
Mr.. Wilson refused to publish:

of liberal candidates to the next General As
OF the degrading statutes now In force. This
committee have been faithful In the discharge of
their duties, leaving nothing undoDe that was
honorable and proper TO secure victory They
entered at once upon the performance of their
duties. and have INCREASINGLY kept up the work
until the present time and will continue to
so do until the polls are closed. The work of
the committee has been greatly obstructed by
the treachery and disloyalty OF the English syn
dictate managed by Albert Lieber) toward the
saloon-keepers of the state. The committee
has suffered on every hand all over the state
frDta his treachery. He has gone into all the
avenues extending from his English brewery
and bounded the work of the legislative COM
mittee and blasphemed the State League of In
diana. His work will have a reckoning
In the near future, and his conduct made public
with such emphasis as will cause every member
But Notwithstanding what we have truthfully
said concerning the manager OF the English syn
dictate. the committee can assure the saloon
service on next Tuesday a victory will be
achieved which will reflect credit and honor on
all concerned.

Instead of publishing the above. Wilson
came out in support of the Democratic
ticket, and there is now no friendly feeling
between the officers of the State league and
himself.
Concerning the issuance of stock on his
paper. the Right and Freedom. Mr.. Wilson
says it Is q perfectly legitimate scheme;
that he secured from certain wholesale
liQuor-Gealers advertisements for which he
was paid in advance. in lieu of which he
issued stock to the amount of SLIGO.
Leaving the stock entirely out of consider
alton. Wilson says the holders of it get
their moneys worth in advertising, the
only advantage to him being that he gets
his money IN advance for advertising.
