son that no jury would ever hold him
responsible for any crime he MAY
have committed, and as he is now per.
fectly harmless he can't be sent TO an

probably cost three times as much as
the Review is worth.
The Congreg ational pastor is not
an issue in this campaign and no
amount Of free advertising in the
columns of that paper can make him
one. For the enlightenment of editors
in Ortonville, Big Stone and other
surrounding towns who have been mis-
led by the false statements ofVolkmar
and have repeated some of them, we
desire to state, first, hat the Congre-
gational church of Milbank was never
in better condition than it is today.

No-LICENsE MAYOR,
AT a meeting Of the No-License
League held at the M. E. church last
Monday night, W. II. Roberts, of the
First N RATIONAL bank was nominated
for mayor by a unanimous choice.
There being some questions of a legal
character to inquire into before the
petition could be filled out the league
adjourned to meet again OF the night
following to complete the work. On
Tuesday night there was another large
gathering, when the petition was duly
signed, and several enthusiastic
speeches were made. Victory was in
the air, and from now on a vigorous
campaign will be waged for No-Li-
cense a. the principle, aud w H.
Roberts as the candidate. Mr.. Ro-

by far the best man in the race, and
is the only candidate who is opposed
to the saloon. The league vas not

Hurrah for Roberts!
