A WORD FOR VOTING DENTON


 To the Editor of the Journal and Courier.
 It is well to be just l protest strong ly against the many misrepresentations that are being given to the public by some one in regard to my son. When he left the employ of the Chas. Monson company the settlement was made wholly with MT. Monson, who always treated him with consideration. The amount due was not $50 but a balance of $45O after deducting wages due in settlement of a regular book account of articles bought for his family As he would need what money he had he pro- posed to leave his watch, worth about $l2, as security. This he has since then redeemed. He did not sell stockings or articles of that kind to any one as his department was Silks and Dress goods" card printing and window dressing. He was successful collector and collected hundreds of dollars for the firm, not one penny of which failed to reach them. He has young wife and two children. to whom he is de- votedly attached.
 If he has done wrong he is doing his best to right the wrong. It is coward ly to strike him when he is down, But he is young and in future not far away we who love him look to see him esteemed and happy once more
