LIVELY REPLY
the Charge That Akron Prohibitionsists We're
Influenced by Democrats.

| ton shall be fair" and the officer
who would crowd us off the ballot
must first be willing to violate his
oath.
| have been fighting the Democratic
party for more than forty years and
intend to continue to fight it and the
Republican party (not the good men
in them so long as | live. hut the
Democratic officials, in this case, sim.
ply did their sworn duty whether it
would hurt their party of not And
for this act honor them. But the
course of Mr.. Crisp is another affair
altogether.
But who nominated Mr. Adamson?
Well, as chairman of the committee,
l was exceedingly anxious. | called
Mr.. Adamson to the telephone
stated that his friends wanted him to
accept the nomination for Mayor on
the Prohibition ticket. While he did
not decline, he wanted time TO con-
slider and urged that some one else
be selected. No time was to be lost.
l drew UP II paper hastily and started
out in the rain. 1t read: "rhe under
signed qualified electors request Mr..
Alex. Adamson to accept the Prohibit
tion nomination for Mayor anu we
promise him our hearty support, etc"
Now who signed that paper? Were
they Democrats? That paper is in Mr..
Adamson's hands and will show for
itself. And three out of four, if not
more, who are not Prohibitionsts, are
Republicans who signed that paper!
If you don't believe it examine the
paper. Does that look like Demo
cratic scheme? Why the editor who
wrote that roorback will not dare
to face an audience and say that he
believed it when he wrote it. He
knew ii was a lie. but it was the only
thing he could do to save his party.
And while three Republicans signed
that paper to one Democrat, yet when
1t came to voting, to keeping their
promise, there must have been three
Democrats to one Republican VINO
voted our ticket! And yet Republl-
cans charge the Democrats with
drinking all the whisky, making all
laws IhNoIiiS Ihc Stlooh, uHI say
Democrats never vote Prohibition!
Where did that splendid Prohibition
vote come from IL not from the Demo
Gratis? There are plenty of good men
in the Republican party and some of
them voted for Mr.. Adamson and did
themselves proud in so doing. But
the party lash AID party blindness and
the hope of office are the most pow
erful factors i'm keeping them in line.
Some glad day they will have the
scales fall from their eyes and then
they will gladly climb into the Pro
hibition band wagon.
| must say before closing, that Rev.
j. G. Slater and Rev. y. b, Coats were
very important factors in securing Mr..
Adamson's consent, as they and mysclr
We're appointed committee to wait
upon him with the paper and the 81
signatures / had secured, and that de-
cided him TO stand.
If that is II Democratic scheme"
the more such the better for right
eousness.

They are still trying to get rid of the
City Commissioners law at Youngs-
town, despite the overwhelming defeat
last Monday of the proposition to
change the form of government. The
talk now takes the form of proposed
suit to test the constitutionality of the
law. Akron is pleased TO remind the
Youngstown lawyers that this very
question was decided by the Supreme
Court about six years ago, in the case
of Ohio VS.. Gardner, when 1t was held
that the law was constitutional.

To the Editor of the Democrat:
Fortunately the Democratic schem,
originated by the leaders, to put &
third ticket in the field with q goot
citizen at its head, was recognized il
time and warning was given by tn,
Beacon Journal, which at the same
time paid due respect to the candidates
as men. as respectable and well-mean
ing citizens of Akron."-Beacon Jour
nal, April ..
Ordinarily such contemplate roor
backs and rot as the above should be
passed by in silence for they deceive
nobody but the unsuspecting or the
party-blind individual. The underslgn
ed knows all about the nomination OF
the third party ticket" including Mr.
Adamson, and begs brief space to
state the facts so that hereafter the
general public may understand the
unscrupulous and wholesale lies which
the above Journal uses to side-track
Prohibition votes. These roorbacks
have been their stock IN trade for
many years whenever the Prohibition
party was likely to secure a large
vote.
The Prohibitionists held well-at.

tion and nominated good ticket, with
the exception of Mayor and Solicitor
We had two or three available men,
splendid men, but we wanted an ideal
candidate for Mayor. AS chairman
of committee, previously appointed
to recommend candidates, | reported
three names, one of which was Alex
Adamson. But no one ventured to
nominate him lest his large business
interests might cause him to decline
the honor. The convention was moi
satisfied with other good men named
for Mayor The matter was referred
to committee with power to act
But the committee failed to nominate
The time was growing short. Our
ticket was minus a head. Something
must be done, for the infamous Pugh
law required us to secure 80 signatures
TO the city ticket and % to each of the
eight wards, and to file them 10 days
before election.
Did I, or any one else, consult the
Democratic editor, or Mr.. Isbell ?
l am sure they would each gladly
make solemn oath that so far as they
know. the Prohibitionists attended
strictly to their own business and were
not conscious Of the services which
that truthful (?) sheet says you ren,
dered us. We made fair and open
fight. We nominated a man for May,
or who had no "strings" to him. And
by reason Of falthfulness to their
sworn duty, Democratic officials
would not let us be crowded off the
official ballot. But II reports are true

fraud like that? What becomes or

legal and moral a right to be on the
ballot as either OF the other parties.

The Duty Of a Good Citizen.

The Triennial pastoral letter of Bishop
Dudley, of Kentucky, the presiding
Bishop of the Episcopal Convention just
closed at San Francisco, contained this
extract: "The failure OF citizen OF a
republican government to do his duty in
the endeavOr to elect honest and true
men to the office Of that government, is
the earliest political manifestation OF a
pernicious life The citizen who first
refuses his civic duty, and then along the
natural descent, the easy path, becomes
the giver of brides, and the corrupter OF
mis- fellows, is himself degraded more and
more; and bottom is found when civic
rights and civic righteousness are alike
forgotten, when duty to his neighbor
demands performance, when protection
to weakness, the equality OF free men,
the conservation OF honesty, are no
longer the ends of the government, but
only the securing Of peculiar privileges
for class, the comfortable enjoyment of
a protected license; when duty to man is
forgotten, because duty to God is
denied"

To THE FREE Lance:
In today's issue you have an extract
from the Washington Post headed: "A
Woman Lieutenant" in which Mrs.
Louise \. Adams, Of New Orleans. is
spoken Of as having been commissioned
by the confederate Government. All
honor to Mrs. Adams, but surely she is
not named as being the only woman
who was commissioned by the Conteder-
ate authorities during the war So good
a Confederate soldier as your Mr. Brad
ley cannot have forgotten Captain Sally
TOmpkins and her splendid work for the
soldiers. Soon after the war began she
opened up a private hospital and ex-
pended all the means she had in its main
tenance, then she announced that she
would have to close the place up as she
had no more money to run it. Some of
the citizens of Richmond, seeing what a
good work was being done. and what a
loss this wOuld be to the Confederacy,
went to the War Department and asked
that supplies be furnished Miss Tompkins.
The department very properly said that
this could not be done, but that Miss
T0mpkins could be commissioned as
captain and put in charge of hospital,
and the commission was issued.
captain Sally" who is my personal
good friend, and has been for years, is
now living in Norfolk, Va, but spends

and true grit that characterized her dur
