I;aisehood. Not Criticism.

The wall of 1luls about our "uH-
called for" defense of the Mayor
of Logan, against the Huls "crit-
icism" of some official acts, is in
deed pitiablc. He says the Mayor
is subject To criticism and must
expect it. The Mayor Of Logan
is happy to be criticized for it puts
him on his mettlo to do better, but
it put us on our mettle to retaIiate
when the Mayor was faisified
against. We were not defending
him as against honest criticism,
for he must expect that, but when
the Huls organ said that if the
Murray City fighters had been
poor country boys, the Mayor
would have given them the limit,
we admit that it raised our ire IN
the Mayors defense. This false
hood was Haunted, in the face of
the records showing seven cases of
fighting in Logan all of whom
were fined 81 90 and costs by this
Mayor, and three of them were
poor, country boys.
Falsehoods are easy for Huls to
speak, and we can but expect it of
him, but he did accidentally let
one truth slip out. He said Mayor
Dollison was the STANDARD bearer
of the temperance people" This
is a kindly admission on the part
of Huls, and the Mayor should be
proud Of it. No higher compli-
ment could be paid to citizen,
than to represent the sober, law
abiding people of community.
Huls would seek to disturb that
confidence to mar the hopes
of a good people for temperance
administration in this town, by
attempting to drive the village eX-
ecutive into the ranks of the saloon
for political harangue
and partisan clash; he would
band the Mayor and the saloon in
terests together in his falsefying
publication, sacrificing the ,.hopes
of enforcing the laws in Logan,
Just for the sake of his jealous
nosy, partisan policies. We will
say this for the Mayor, that you
can't accomplish that end, Mr..
Huls. Logan's present executive
will go right along fighting the
saloons and gambling dens of Lo-
gan with more zeal with each new
battle won it will take smarter
people than Huls to waver Logan's
Mayor from his duty in fighting
the evils of this village,
What interest Huls has in trying
to array the temperance people
against their representative eXecu-
tive, and thus chill the arder of
their enthusiasm, is IN keeping
with his spirit of hypocrisy; fein
friendship, and seeking to distroy.
Did he vote for the temperance
for Mayor? OF course
he did not, and thus by his own
statement of STANDARD bearers"
he must have lined up with the
saloon people, He says the tenn
perance people of Logan elected
Mayor Dollison. Is Huls one of
the temperance people? Did he
vote for Dollison? If not, he must
belong to the saloon crowd, and
then why should he growl if the
Mayor, as alleged by him, should
favor saloon men, If Huls be-
longs to the saloon crowd, be
should have rejoiced if the Mayor
favored one of his crowd. If
Huls voted against the "temper-
ance candidate" he surely should
have no criticism # the Temperance
should favor his side.
Why did Huls not "criticize"
Mayor Tritsch in his twenty-five
administration, which ad-
ninistration, according to Huls'
paper, necessitated the bringing
)ut of a Temperance candidate"
Why did he vote for Tritsch and
'un his paper for him, if the OPP
position was the "temperanee can
and Huls is SO enthusias-
.ic for temperance and the rights
If temperance people. i Elk
Mayor Trltsch enjoying Huls
haunting him as the saloon candi-
date?
The whole business in nut
hell is this, that Huls is trying to
