WHERE Is HE AT2
| 1t may interest many of your readers to
know, and it may be doing simple justice to
the Democratic candidate for Controller to
record the fact that Mr.. P. J. Mulholland has
gone out Of the saloon busness-for time
at least. On the 4th of this month his
| license was transferred to a relative, MIR.
Lambert, and for some reason or other an
effort was made to keep the transfer quiet.

Mr. Mulholland has a string tied to this
| license and proposes to pull it in again on the
day after the election when it has been
definitely ascertained that Mr.. Benjamin R.
Severn has been duly elected Controller by
| business men with business methods" all are
allowed to conjecture, but it is no longer a
matter of conjecture that his license is trans
ferred and that it was intended not to have
it known to the public until such time as the

of Mr.. Mulholand. Now licenses are con.

little Importance, but the news of this
transfer was of some interest and yet it was

Mr.. Mulholland's friends may claim that it
is Of little consequence to the public whether
he choose to go out of the liquor business

he is at and whether he proposes to conduct
the affairs of the Controllership in the same
surreptitous manner, A person should be
either a man or a mouse, or long-tailed rat.
A LETHARGIC CAMPAIGN.
Politics in this section of the county can be
termed anything but active at this writing.
The campaign is, in fact in a lethargic state
and will not be opened in earnest until about
the first of October. On Saturday the
executive committee of the Republican organ
ization will meet here to devise ways and
means of boring through the Democratic
majority with twoinoh auger and if they
select the proper ways and secure the |
necessary means it will augur well for their
success. 1t is more and more becoming
apparent that this is anybody's battle who |
chooses to make it so. With the proper
sinews Of war in this very off year no one
need be surprised if the prizes to be awarded
will fall to some Of the candidates in both
parties just as they make their respective
canyasses and just as they impress the
