Is II Not?

But by the 7. p. =. c. Il. and Ep-
worth League.
A SAMPLE GRowI.

Antly misrepresented the citizens CON-
nittee, who nominated Geo. Griswold
fJr marshal on last Wednesday even
ug. Now, if you did 1t wilfully, we'll
[ won't say what. And if you did it
gnorantly, then you should post your
elf before you make such untrue state
neDts again.
You call it "a self-appointed com.
mittee," +" which | say is not true. am
member OF the committee, and re-
:.ived my appointment from a union
Meeting of representative members
rom the Y. p. 5. G. f. and Epworth
league societies of this city. Their
committee of five asked the various
societies to appoint committees from
their indivi dual members, to act with
hem. Then we asked some Of those,
.rh0m we felt would be an advantage
to in in the crusade against men for
fiji =, whom We felt were not what we
u :eded.
Now, as to it being a Democratic
-cheme, as indicated by you and also
charged by the Statesman, say over
ny signature it is not true. 1t has all
the time been positively as much uL-
partisan as Y. p. S. G.. r. or the Ep-
worth League are bipartisan. Now,
Know Just what we are doing, and the
insults and sarcasm that come from
you and other editors in the city are not
gentemanly and friendly. We only
ask that the people go to the polls and
vote either for the man who works for
Office through the "party ticket" or for
the one that is sought for the tfflce by
representatives of the people.
Remember the golden rule, "Do
Unto Others as You Would Have Them
DO Unto You" That is If you like to
DE treated kindly, treat US the same
way. If you love to have mud thrown
in your face and false charges made
against you then keep up your present
way Of doing.
J. g. TEMPLETON.
The above is from the pastor of the
Cumberland Presbyterian church. He
is one Of the few men in the pulpit who
haye been misled by the political man
9ulations of ReY. Grannis, who has
been ambitions to rule or ruin in this
city ever since he struck the town. I'm.
able to cut any figure on equal terms
with other citizens he organized the
Y. p, s. G.. Il. aud the Epworth
Leagues a into political machine to
make himself dictator In city pol ties.
What the JOURNAL said was exactly
true. Since when are the Christian
Endeayor society and the Epworth
League, one of which is controlled by
him and the other manipulated by
him, constituted q political caucus 10

you call yourself the Y. =. =. c. T..
committee, or the Epworlh League
committee, instead of citizens COM
