Would Not Accept "BIood Money"
Every newspaper that has heard of the
recent election in this town has scored the
liquor dealers for the part they took, and
the leaders OF the victorious party for the
| questionable methods used to insure sue
cess. The term, "liquor dealers" includes
all those engaged in the traffic and 1t is
hardly Just to few honest men who are
| in the business to use that term without
qualifying it. There are few upright
dealers i'm this town who cater to neither
party but attend strictly TO their own
affairs and who do not try to befudd'e the
brains OF voters who come in on election
day.
Nor do they accept "blood money" from
any persons or party.
There are four dealers who refused To
assist the z. o. p. in the last, and i'm all
previous elections. When their places
were visited by the "heelers" they were
politely shown the door and told that
their room was preferable to their COM
pany.
