The Virgins City Enterprise sums
up the situation as only a newspaper
with full understanding of the true
condition of affairs can grasp. Under
the caption of Little History il
declares that when the Harrison admin

No startling conditions were absorbing
the interest of the people. Politicians
of course, are an exception.

too good friends of Growers, and $780,
o00000 wasn't much anyhow. But just
at that time "a change came DER the
spirit OF his dream" and Harrison csme
into power.
1t did not take him long TO find place

owing large debts and paying large

But times were too good 10 last. Anoth

The banks got in their work. Their old

power of the government today and We
must submit. But better days are
drawing. Cleveland has run loo fast.
The people are discouraged. They
have found their mistake and are hasten

majority of 5000 for governor and the
legislature strongly republican.
Every election so far has been just
