BY THE WAY.


The Saloon Keepers Association, of
Akron, has organized a law and order
league of its own and announced to the
mayor through its attorney, /. II. Phelps,
that 1t proposed to prosecute under city
ordinance, ali persons who sold soda water,
lemonade or other soft drinks on Sunday

they take this step in retaliation for pro
ceedings brought against them.

Under the headline-"M Mckinley and
the Presidency, the ENQUIRER Yesterday
contained the following interesting edi-
torial of more than passing local import
"There Is rather an ingenius argument
current that the Presidential hopes of
Governor Mckinley were not blighted by
the ruthless tramping down of his candi-
date for the nomination for Governor in
the Ohio republican convention. Nobody
is impressed with the perfunctory resolu-
ton of the convention for Mckinley for
President and Foraker for Senator.
"The acknowledgment that Mckinley
was thoroughly defeated in the conven-
tion Is general, but the claim Is made
that Foraker and his following cannot
get along at the election without the Nc
Kinley element; and that there must be a

has gone too far for an honest adjustment
on this or any other basis. The feud has
lasted for years. 1t is political vendetta.
The vote on the nomination for governor
was "hnish fight" The Foraker elo-

of the republicans was pre-eminont, and
who was one of the Columbus coterie of
the ardent Mckinley men, wanted the
nomination for auditor of state, and in
the natural order of things would have
gained 1t, but the Foraker people set upon
him as u victim whose defeat would give
emphasis to the fact that they were on
top. Senator Sherman was chairman OF
the convention, and the victors were glad
that he was, for they were proud to show
that the Senator's side was unable tC

spiration of the old leaders presence OIL

"These amiable men who are talking
about the republican leaders Of Ohio get

the life out of him. When he was ready
