Is THIS THING a FACT?
Charlie Holiday Says All the
Candidates In the County
Are Members of the 0. III. B.
With the Exception
Of Harry Larimer This Gives the
Prohibitionists No Choice at All
IF It is True.

Conrad Mayer and Robert Hitchcock
have been formally expelled from the
0. M. B. lodge. They were members
OF Shawnee lodge No 315. which holds
its meetings on the top floor Of the
Crawford Opera House block.
Police Commissioner Holiday says
they were expelled by unanimous vote
and his action is therefore ratified. To
a Journal reporter Mr. Holiday gave
the following reasons for the expulsion
of the two men;
They were expelled because they
said that Ed McKeever, Republican
candidate for the legislature, was ini-
tiated into the O. M. 3. and was a
member in good standing. Hitchcock
told that he himself had Initiated him
and given him the work. If he did So
it was a violation OF his oath to say
SO. and if he did not he lied, and in
either case he deserved expulsion
The o. M 3. committee waited on
Ed AIckeeYer and gave him an OppOr-
tuuity to answer their questions, and
never received any satisfaction, and
neither Hitchcock nor Mayer had any
business to do anything except what
was authorized by the organization.
Commissioner Holiday was in a COM
municatiye mood and he went on to
talk OF local politics in general way
with the exception OF Harry LafT'l-
mer' said he. all the candidates for
county Offices on both tickets are mem
bers of our order and are on the O.
q.
break away or dodge the issue We
know where every one stands"
Just then Simon Greenspan came up
Ion, don't say that" said he. "Just
say that the county candidates are
known to be broad. fair. liberal minded
men. and we are not making fight on
them"
This is not a political question: con
tinued Commissioner Holiday. 1t
goes far beneath politics. No one has
ever heard me say whom I intended to
vote for for governor, and simon
echoed the sentiment
Mayer says that he VIII surrender
without a struggle and viii not take
his case before the grand lodge. He
thinks he has been treated unjustly by
Holiday ard Greenspan, but says he
will not trouble either them or the or
ganization any more.
The citizens OF Topeka demand to
know if all the candidates on the cOun-
ty ticket are members Of this secret
order or not. Come. gentlemen, out
with the truth. If you are to be our
public servants. we want to know all
about you.

THEY ARE ..HLUFF1Nc =

The extravagant claims made by
both the Republican and the Democrat
ic manager. Of the national campaign
must convince the unprejudiced OBJ
server that they are either trying 70
deceive the people or are merely guess
ing and do not know anything about
the facts.
The enormous ma5orities claimed by
either committee could not exist with
out the other committee knowing some
thing about it. The probability is that
neither ArHanna nor Mr.. Jones knows
anything positively about the situation
IL has been mentioned over and over
again in various quarters that there IS
very large vote which cannot be poll
ed. There are said to be 10000 Of these
votes in Chicago. $4,000 ia Kansas and
similar figures are given ia other local
tiles. 1T is apparent that the large ma
jorities claimed by both sides are OBJ
tanned by including this vote in their
estimates. Such being the case the
worthlessness Of their claims must BE-
apparent
If either party can capture this vote
in something like its entirety, its chair
man is likely to see his estimates veri-
fed Both chairmen seem willing to
stake their regulations as foreeasters
on the chance

Five Young TouShs.

ROANOKE, Aug. 27.-The police au'
thorities OF this city have unearthed an
organized band of robbers, composed
of five maybe more, young toughs
whose purpose was to murder, if neces
sary, to accomplish their purpose.
The ringleader and two members OF
the gang are in jail here and one OF
them has made confession, revealing
the existence OF the band and disclos.
ing the purposes for which they were
banded together. The confession re-
cites that the band perpetrated all OF
the recent robberies and outrageS
which have been committed in Roa,
roke and vicinity within the past two
months and also detsiled several pro-
posed robberies, whicn were nipped in
the bud BY the arrests made today.
More arrests will follow In: q day OF
two.

Wiped Out by Forest Fires.

GREEl' Bay, Wis, Aug. 26.-Onto-
nagon, Mich, is entirely destroyed ex-
cepting 12 dwelling houses located in
the extreme eastern part Of the village.
There are innumerable persons miss
ing and reports are that several have
perished. These reports are not as yet
verified, however, and it is hoped that
the missing ones are being cared for
and sheltered in farm houses. I. W.
Hight, president OF the village, wired
an appeal to Superintendent Minturn
on the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul county, for tents, provisions,
etc., for $500 people this morning.
MIR. Minturn Immediately repeated
the message to the mayors of all the
cities in this part of the State. a car
load of supplies was collected in this
city in less than an hour from the time
the message was received by Mr.. Min
turn and shipped to Rockland a small
place out OF Ontonagon, where the
sufferers are gathered. The main
street of Ontanogon had six blocks of
business buildings. The village pro-
per was between eight and nine blocks
long and from Il to Is blocks wide.
Fire has been burning IN the woods to
the southeast OF the town for two weeks
but no danger was anticipated until
yesterday, when high, wind blew the
flames into the place. At noon an at
tempt was made to telegraph fot help
from adjoining towns but the telegraph
building was on Ere and the opera
tor was driven from his instrument.
No further telegrahic communication
with Ontonagon until today. Help
was sent by rail but it was devoted to
the removing the people to places Of
safety. Insurance statistics which are
probably complete, show that the
heaviest loser is the Diamond Match
compan whose property was valued at
81, 100000 and consisted of stores and
merchandise worth SIS, 900, saw mill
and box factory. with machinery,
worth $500, 900, and lumber worth
$6OO,O0. The insurance on the lum-
Der is 1927, 900; on all the other prop
erty $4,000 The business and resi-
dence property was well insured. The
sole support OF the town was the Dia-
mond Match company and its future
depends upon the course that the COM
pany will take. The consensus of
opinion is that the company will not
abandon the village. The village OF
Trout Creek is not destroyed, but is
seriously threatened as the choppings
in the underbrush and woods are fer
cely burning all around it.

McSweeney Defeats Cooper-Mayfield De-
feats Robinson and Watts Defeats Rich
boure- Thousands of Reformers Voted
Jedge Earle and Against Evans.
sCOLUIBlA, S. c., Aug. 2S.-Excit-
ing was the political game played in
this State last night. The moves on
the political checker board when the
official returns for Senator began 10
come in and throughout the night,
were many and intensely exciting.
Crowds Of excited politicians and
others gathered around The StSte office
and elsewhere. Never before has there
been such rush for information after
an election. Men of all classes and
professions got out their pencils and
began TO figure at lively rate when
the official returns came in for one
county after another. Every little
margin was eagerly figured out. Gov.
Evans was as eager as anybody for
figures. 1t was late before ne found
out that, with Richland staying out Of
the fight practically, the people had
not endorsed his course.
1t was impossible to tell up to l O..
M. whether there would be second
race for the senate or not, even when
for all that time the vote of only one
small coun:y-Saluda-was missing.
But that one missing link was what
was needed to decide what the result
was going to be. When it came at 1
a. m. it showed that Evans would
have to go into second race, and this
is almost certain to bring about his de-
feat. Iu the first primary a large
number of Conservatives did not vote
and in addition to this silent vote,
which was almost entirely in the cities,
it is conceded that Duncan's vote will
go to Earle in the second primary.
The first vote, one of the largest ever
polled in the State, came from the
country and is regarded as one of the
most surprising revolutions ever
known in the State. What caused the
revolution those who have followed
the campaign reports know best.
A HEAVY VOTE.
The total vote in the State is II, 743
of which 1891 goes to Evans, 3d. 9S3
to Earle and $500 to Duncan. Dun
can and Earle's vote combined is 39,-
351, giving them $50 votes over Ev-
ans. 1t has been close race; one of
the closest South Carolina has ever
known. Here is the official vote by
counties. The star in the table at
Horny, Marion and Pickens means
that the complete" figures for those
three counties are the only ones which
were not proven correct by the receipt
of additional official returns last
night:
