by the individual subscriptions of the
business men of the village.
With view of aiding in clearing
the political skies, we have authority
to say that E. E. Brigham is not, has
not been and will not be a candidate

been proposed as such by a few of our
citizens who are opposed to both the
school and highway laws, and think
Elisha would go down to the capitol
and revolutionize the wisdom of the
: State in that direction. Mr.. Brigham
although true to the faith that is
. within him in connection with these
laws, says emphatically that he will
not consent to be a candidate.
