DRY

somo folks tell YOU they want men
elected To council that are dry--all
right--now listen. II You will look
ut the records at the court house
here In town you will find one or two
men voted for saloons----yet at the
same time these same men were sup
posed To be. and were elected to
council as being absolutely dry-and
somo of them were among the dry
leaders Mt that time. Namely In
1904. IL being dry is principal
land that's what II ought to bel then
It's the wrong principal TO vote for
licensing saloons under any and all
conditions. III being dry In n policy,
then that brings on more talk. IL a
man is opposed to- voting license To
sell liquor To the first man that comes
mp and the vets out vote him and
give license To this first man, that IL
no reason or excuse for the dry man
To vote for liquor license TO some
other man that some of the vets don't

Is peculiar bird. Let the people
decide what they want. that takes
the responsibility on the individual
and pressure cannot be brought to
bear upon him; besides it takes out
or his hands the opportunity TO get

like. Then do what all the people
want done or quit your Office. No
man can change principal and be
consistent. Vote and elect the Dem

THE WORK OF RurF1ANs.

Saturday night n gang of Young
runians visited the Methodist church
and Inv some means succeeded in re-
moving two immense concrete blocks
each Weighing in the neighborhood
of half a ton. from their location
along the sidewalk on the west side
of the building where they were used
for the Durpose of "stile" blocks.
The big blocks were pushed over on
10 the sidewalk and fixed in such a
way that had the nigh; been very
dark one any person walking along
the pavemeut would have stumbled
over the blocks and stood good chanc-
IS of being dangerously hurt. but
fortunately no one was injured. Sun
dav morning the church officials had
a number of men hired to push the
big blocks to the side of the walk:
one of them was badly broken. 1t
was piece OF work of a vile and
criminal nature. the action Of the
bovs cannot be deemed mischievious.
II was cowardly and criminal and
