MERCHANTS KICKING
ON INF|RMARY
DIRECTORS
APPROACH OF ELECTION FAVOR
ITIsM IN BUYING GOODS.
Certain Firms Are Given the Bulk Of
the Trade-Republican Candidate
Is Clerk in the Store.

There is an undercurrent of feel
ing among many business men of
Canton and other sections of the coun-
ty that will affect the Republican vote
on November s, especially with refer
ence to certain members of the county
ticket. This feeling grows out of
the favoritism shown in purchasing
supplies for the county infirmary. In
times past the Morning News pub
lished figures showing that w. u.
Homer secured practically all the
clothing contracts for the infirmary,
while the purchase of groceries, ETC..
was also subject to the same criti-
cism. What made this fact look tny
worst was that Thomas Miller, one of
the directors who did the buying. is
a clerk in the Homer store. Miller is
this year candidate for reelection,
and 1t is pretty safe to predict, judg-
ing from what the merchants say, that
he will be cut by business men gen.
orally.
Since the real situation was exposed
in this paper, the directors in order
to allay the feeling that was engender-
ed, began buying clothing in small
amounts from other dealers, yet
where their bills amounted to 500 or
$50 Homer's and the Humbergers at
Massillon ran up into the hundreds.
A local clothing dealer said yester-
day: 81 will vote for Roosevelt but
shall not vote for single man on
the Republican county ticket. Not
because have anything against some
of them, but l will not support a
party organization that allows the Of
ficers to show so much favoritism
The little that Is thrown out to other
dealers Is nothing compared with
what is given to the favorites, and it
Is a surprise to me that the party
management does not call them down.
People are anxious to see this thing
aired before the election"
Inquiry among business men who
are competitors of these favorite deal
ers disclose the fact that this feel
ing was universal. 1t is not confined
to clothing dealers, but to all classes
of tradesmen. From all over the
county, among the farmers there is
general discomfort over the way in
which the infirmary has been man
aged and the decision has been reach
ed that at the polls is the only place
where the remedy can be applied.

Frank S. Archibald, of West
Swanzey, n. H., writes: For the
past five years | have suffered
with Asthma almost constantly.
[ was so nervous at times | could
hardly remain in my school. This
disease coupled with the nervous
strain towhich teachers are al

bearable. During a visit to my

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By localapplications, as they can
not reach the diseased portions
of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining OF
the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is intlamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed,
Deafnessis the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing WILDE
destroyed forever; ninescases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh,
whichis nothing but an intlamed

in SnOOT CASE
MORMON WITNESSES TESTIFY.
President Smith cIines to His Wives
Plural Marriage of Apostle
Cannon

Washington. Dec. 13.-Three wit
nesses were heard yesterday in the
case of Senator Reed Smoot before the
Senate committee on privileges and
elections. The committee resumed its
Investigations after long recess.
The first witness was Rev. j. NJ.
Buckley, editor of the Christian Advo-
cate of New York, who told of Nor
mon meeting he attended in Salt Lake
City last summer in which President
Joseph Smith declared he would not
give up his plural wives.
George Reynolds, a high official of
the church, testified in regard to the
ceremonies that have taken place in,
the endowment house and concerning
ecclesiastical divorces granted by the
church, and John Henry Hamlin told
of the plural marriage of his sister,
Lillian Hamlin, to Apostle Abram Can
non, which ceremony he said he un-
derstood to have been performed by
President Smith since the manifesto
of 1890.
Most of the testimony related to the
inside church policy. but did not con-
meet Senator Smoot with any of the
alleged violations of national or state
statutes.
1 DR.. Buckley told of visits to Utah in
1901 and again last June. At that time
he attended a Joint convention of the
Young Mems and Young Women's
Unions of Mormonism. Those who
spoke were Brigham Fl. Roberts. Ell
mira S. Taylor and President Smith.
The audience was estimated by the
witness at IL, 900 persons.
DR.. Buckley read from an article he
had written concerning the convention
and quoted from the speech of Presi-
dent Smith on the subject of marriage.
The witness said that for ten to fif-
teen mioutes President Smith had
talked of the responsibility of marriage
and how the contract is regarded by
many persons.
President Smiths voice rang out "as
strong as William ]. Bryans," as he
defended the Mormon marriage and
declared that polygamy was not adul-
terry, but was system of marriage.
President Smith was quoted by the
witness as saying that he could not
give up any of his wives. that it meant
eternal damnation to abandon a multi
plicity of wives.
DIR. Buckley said he had made in
quiry concerning Senator Smoot and
he had found no one who said word
against him. Everywhere, the witness
said, Senator Smoot was given an ex-
cellent character.
