rco,v. did 50 and two days later
got the letter from Mr. StanSe!I with
the statement thar they had conclud-
ed - say nothing a: all.
Mr. Miller testified about, hearing
OF r::e drinking Oh the premises, and
relative 10 the conversation With Mr..
Ga;ii;ard and what Mr.. Windham sad
he d;t not believe was when ne asked
what Mr.. Windnam thought. | said:
~tD;d he get mad:" He laughed and
said: NO. OF course he didn,t get
mad. l wouldn't have asked him,
bur knew he would take it. He
didn't say, though, that he had taken
it. He said he would not have MADE
him the offer, but he knew ne would
take It. Another party came up at
that time and the conversation was
CHANGED. Before he told me anything
about it he said: L am not telling

Could Not Enforce The Law.
Mr.. w. NJ. Sanders was member
,of the county board for SIX years.
He felt that he was defeated because
he insisted on enforcing the law. He
THOUGHT that the desire was to get
men on the board who did not care
about enforcing the law. He brought
Mr.. Miller's charges up and called
Mr. Windham's attention tc the re-
ouest book feature. There seemed to
he no attention paid to the matter.
He made the motion twice. The Sec
ond time he made the motion to have
the request books used he received
no second to his motion, and Mr.. Mel

s,,91e for #. He insisted on weekly
settlements. as required by law, but
,1t,tG;-g was done about !. lhe board
,nv,,. monthly 10 make settlements.
The c~unty board met regularly to
c:lecl; I'd books and accounts. The
county board instructed the clerk to
write rhe state board about the en-
fo>cement OF the law, but nothing
aDpears to have been done.
He asked Nh. Sanders if his broth

for a certain party. Mr. Sanders was
not member OF the board and it was
1horel1t that any offer OF Mr.. Reardon

con2oetent. Mr.. Lyon changed the
question. and Mr.. Sanders was then
asked if his brother did not come to
hin? and tell him there was a plan on
foot 70 elect Mr.. Raftield dispenser.
and il ;h;s were done that Mr.. Sanders
could have a clerkship, and did not
Mr.. w. NJ. Sanders tell his brother he
would never do this. and would re-
sign if Mr.. Raffield were elected over
his protest. The committee decided
