A CANARD.
Good Government Club
Denounces Brown
Circular.

The Good Government Cisb was
aroused yesterday over the circulation
of printed letter against Cecil Brown
e which purported To have been signed
by L. +. Ryan. VIM. NJ. Cunningham
Frank Turk and thirty-seven others.
( The owners OF the names mentioned
! denied positively having had anything
= to do with the circular and denounced
1t as n canard. The three gentlemen
swore to an affidavit to this extent
The circular was sent through the
, mails in what purported to be Good
Government club" envelopes. As the
club has had no stationery of the kind
yet, this was fake on the face of it.
J The circular and the affidavit are as
follows:

Dear Sir:
May we call your attention to the

liberal legislation In the interests es-
Y pecially of the retail liquor dealer who
: pays his license and is therefore en-
1 titled to fair consideration They are
now uniustly restricted to certain local
tiles and hours and have to follow ND
an undue amount of red tame in secur-
ing license. Thus is a legitimate
| calling hammered nv the present off,
| Gals and their narfy
We are particularly anxious to soc
in the legislature n gentleman we'll

Mr. Brown is endorsed by the Demo-
