Bartholomew, regarding his attitude on
the Electric light question, and as there
have been many versions given by his
political opponents, 1t Is desired that
Ihe correct statement should be printed
and let the voters know the truth of
the matter and no be misled by incor-
rect versions. The following are the
words used by the gentleman in reply
to the question asked:
1.-TWO years ago in this hall declared
myself in favor of electric lights in this
borough, and promised furthermore for
myself and the gaslight company, to
interpose no obstacle to the accom-
plishment of this desirable end have
kept this promise and now reiterate
what / said on that occasion and II
elected as your representative will be
glad to do all in my power to secure
electric lights for this borough. We
all believed the times in the mat
ter of street lighting and as soon as
feasible electricity should be substi-
tuted for gas. You have the power,
gentlemen, to erect municipal plant
for this purpose and no man, or set of
men, can take this franchise from you,
neither are you obliged to pay the gas
light company one dollar for the privi-
lege. The claim that further legisla-
ton is required is bosh and subter-
fuge by which 1T is hoped to send
Bryan man to the legislature Instead
| of a republican. I am also in favor of
| good roads, and having ridden a bicy-
| Gle during the past summer, am quite
| well aware of the necessity Of improv-
| ing the roads in this town. And may
say further that am equally In favor
| of good sidewalks" This last remark
caused much laughter, az the point
was readily seen. The remainder of his
| speech was on the Issues of the cam
paign.
The glee club, under the leadership
of w. H. Edsall, will be one of the at
fractions at the republican meeting In
| town hall this evening. Every republi-
can should make it a point to be on
| decks, as it is the last call before cleo
| ton.

| baggagemaster at the depot, died yes
