Prohibition Party is
Very Greatly Aroused
Over Efforts of the Hammer Leaders
20 Shut Then, Out of the
Field This Year.

The Telegram's exposure of the
trick attempted by the Harmer
crowd to withdraw the Prohibition
ticket and keep 1t of of the official
ballot, without the consent of the
ticket. has aroused much indignation
among Prohibitionists.
One of the candidates on that
ticket. one who has been a Prohi-
bition advocate and leader many
years, stated to the Telegram satur-
day evening that he thought the
Prohihitionlsts had a perfect right TO
have ticket in the field and to up-
hold and promote the principles of
that party.
This gentleman further remarked
that the Harmer ticket was saloon
ticket and there was no other way
about it. In addition he pointed to
the fact that the great city of Knox
Vile, Tenn, had Just gone Prohibi-
ton, and that nothing toward that
end could be accomplished here so
long as his party was expected to
vote for party favorable to saloons.
This candidate was decidedly of
the opinion that the Prohibition
ticket would not withdraw but would
he found election day battling for
Prohibition principles and not for
Harmer.
1t can also be stated with fear of
contradiction that the course pursued
by the official organ of the Anti
Saloon League in this state is de-
scrting prohibition principles and
coming TO the support of the Har-
mer party, which stands for saloons,
is severely condemned by all Prohi-
bitionists and real temperance peo-
pie.

JUDGE LYNCH REFORMS
AND NOT MR.. HARMER
Reform Party's Candidate for Chief
of Police Bitterly Fought
Lynch's Election.
FIGHT WAS AGAINST REFORM
Judge Lynch Imposed Heavy Fines
and Sentences and Credit is
Not Mayor Harmer's.

The Harmer leaders say the i'm
potency of Harmer's administration
is due to the police, yet they have
mentioned a man for chief Of the po-
lice force. who rode this county over
In efforts to defeat men for public
Office, who have brought about real
reforms. For instance. James H.
Moore. the reform candidate for chief
Of police. fought Judge Charles w.
Lynch's election to the bitter end,
denouncing Mr.. Lynch in every con-
ceiyable way as corrupt politician
and dtshonorable citizen.
Now. the records of Judge Lynch's
court show some Of the reforms he
has accomplished, reforms that Har-
yey Harmer wants the credit for.
April 81, 1906, Judge Lynch SEN
fenced former female resident of
Cain street to two months in jail and
fned her fifty dollars. June 21,
1905, he imposed additional fines on
7 bNA W HtUVs
The same year Judge Lynch heav-
lily fned another keeper of house
of ill-repute on that street $3.50 and
costs.
Among the others OF this class of
yiolators Judge Lynch on April "a.
1908. sentenced one to sixty days in
Jail and fined her 800. Following
on June "a he fined the same woman
1876. These fines and the costs at
tendant thereto were long strides in
cleaning up Cain street. Some of
those imprisoned and fined never re-
sumed the business they had been en-
gagged in. So, 1t is ready seen that
Judge Lynch and Prosecuting Attor-
ney VIII E. Morris are entitled to
credit for the exodus of objection
able women on Cain street, and
Mayor Harmer is not entitled to the
credit.
Moore. candidate for chief of po.
lice. certainly can not take any credit
to himself for fighting the election of
men, who prosecuted, convicted. SEN
fenced and fined these people. His
record in this respect does not show
him to be a true reformer, one who
would bring potency to a reform ad-
nlinistration.
