THAT COMMITTEE.
They Did Meet and the Once VIctors
are Now but Greese Spots.

On last Saturday the great pros
perity party in Hooking had d
crisis. 1t was matter of whether
the Mckinley administration at
Washington with its Spanish CO.
tlngent, or the administration AT
Columbus with its Americdnism,
should be endorsed. The Spanish
got there. We thought as the crowd
grew close about the meeting place
some looked rather Spanish but we
knew them not. The first blood
was drawn by the election of Dr..
Dennison as chairman of the cen
tral committee. He is one of the
doctors who worked the 81 90 per
visit racket in Ward Township and
swiped the county of their good
money. He is good specimen for
chairman. He could handle the
funds, being used to it, On the
heels of this break, the great party
were so ashamed of their actions
that they went into executive ses.
sion and put every body out but
themselves. Alone in their filth
they proceeded. We listened
through the key hole. Tie wrath
