One Of the expressions heard in refer
snce TO the governorshIp is, 1--WE must
nominate Rich because he is farmer;
the farmers must be represented on the
ticket" This is urged as If the farmers
were never yet considered in the appor-
tlonment of the Office of governor.
Everybody knows that q farmer has
filed the chair OF governor for the
last three terms Everybody knows
that farmer has been in the chair for
. good half Of the terms before that.
Toe legislature, the body that really
governs and 10 most susceptible to being
influenced by distinctions of class svo-
cations. always consists of . majority
Of farmers. So far rs the interests of
the farmers are concerned the leglsla-
ture will always look out for
them quite regardless of who is gov
srnor. Furthermore, it Is no exaggers-
ton to say that Hazen 5. Pingree is rs
much farmer IS IS John T. Rich. As
. matter Of fact Mr.. Rich leased his
farm years ago when FIRST chosen TO .
state Office and has never SINCE depend
~ upon his farm, - a working farmer,
Tor his support Mr.. Pingree can claim
20 be farmer on precisely the same
grounda He can also ask support on
his undispused abilities a. q business
mar, ON his brilliant record As . soldier,
and bis repute as the workingmsn's
friend; and above all on his courage IN
tackling monopolies and compelling
thsusso subordinate their greed to the
lawful interests OF the people. The
people want for governor q man who
will b. faithful TO them; honest, up
night aud answering IN all hs public
duties, not . mere representative of .
class, however honorable and deserving
that class may be. Hazen :. Pingres
10 the one that fulfiIls all these condi-
hons Therefore. in the opinion of
many loyal republicans, the best man
the republican party can nominate for
governor IS Hszen ). Pingreo.

MORE OF THE CYTRON CASE.
Constable Spiegel Sued for Searching

Constable Spiegel Sued for Searching
Premises.
Constable Charles r. Spiegel, who was
placed in charge of the cigar store formerly
occupied by Otto Cytron, has become in
volved in two lawsuits. One Of the suits
is for $1,000, and is brought by Joseph
and Ralph Kentrowitch, who are brothers
of Mrs. Lena Cytron. The other suit is
for $500, and is in the name of Ida
Kentrowitch, mother of the insolvent
debtor. Soon after the failure of Mrs
Cytron Constable Spiegel was placed in
charge of the stores and as it was believed
that certain goods had been taken away
from the stores Mr.. Spiegel began search
for the property armed with warrant is
sued by Judge Robertson of the probate
exceeded his rights, and it is upon this
ground that the suits are brought.
The complaint in one of athe cases al
leges that "the plaintiff informed the de-
PENDANT that there was nothing belonging
to Lena Cytron concealed there, but the
defendant refused to believe the plaintiff
and insisted upon searching the house.
The plaintiff knowing that the defendant
was q civil officer, and relying upon his
false and fraudulent statements as true,
permitted him to enter her premises. which
he searched, disturbing and injuring tho
plaintiff in the comforts of her home. It
is further alleged that the defendant
had no warrant for such a purpose;
that the probate court had issued no war
rant to search the premises which the
defendant well knew and, furthermore,
that after making the search no concealed
property of Lena Cytron was found.
The point raised in both cases is whether
a warrant issued by the probate court is
sufficient authority for civil officer to
institute search. On the part Of Mr..
Spiegel 1t is alleged that he was given con-
sent BY the parties in interest.
