A MALICIOUS LIE

"A story is being industriously circu-
lated throughout the community, that
the leaders of the Republican party, on
election day, provided and distributed
from their headquarters, copious flow
Of whiskey to the electors of the district.
Not one drop of liquor of any kind,
neither directly nor Indirectly, was pro-
vided by the leadership of the Republi-
can party at the last election nor any
other election since l have been in poll
tics. We have never had liquor on such
occasions at our headquarters, nor at any
other place. Those responsible for the
story set it afoat, knowing it to be a
malicious lie. I do know that large
quantity of Democrat whiskey was dis
pursed from a certain stable in Middle
town, and the custodian of it tells us he
had three gallons left, but that the quail
ity of it was so UNANIMOUSLY bad no man
could drink it and retain his self respect.
1t is the same old story of thief setting
up the cry of "stop thief"

AUCTION

"James T. Shallcross, the de-
fsated Democratic candidate for
member of the General Assembly
of st. Georges Hundred was
very angry man after the end OF
the contest on Saturday. To the
reporters present he remarked
"You can put in the paper as
coming from me that hereafter
they ought to put the offices up
and sell them to the highest bid
der instead of holding an elec'
ton" Mr.. Shallcross was an
CRY at the time, but the court con-
sidered the contest wholly on it's
merit"
To those who are acquainted
with the facts in the case, the
above news item printed in the
Morning Nea0s last Monday is not
surprising, and Mr.. Shallcross'
anger is probably augmented
with regrets that a few more
votes were not "bid off" AS he
spent all of his time On election
day in the first election dis
trict and as that district re-
turned 79 majorityfor Shallcross,
as against 80 majority of two
years ago, he is a competent wit
ness of how it was obtained. Fur
ther comment is useless.
