lieve that the politics of any one
should be considered in selection of

In regard to the Ordinance fixing
the salary of the City Attorney at
10000, which was passed at the

Peoples candidate for Mayor, was in
office, while we do not wish to ques-
ton the judgment Of the old Council
for passing the ordinance at that
time, when saloons we're open in the
city, and prosecutions were daily
occurrences IN the Police Court, yet,
since the conditions have changed so
that We have no open saloons in our
city, and the duties of the City At
torney DO not demand so much time.
we do not believe that the conditions
at present justify the payment of the
salary of $500. 90 to the City Attor-

same.

Farmers In Dawson With Whips.

Dawson, KY, Oct. 2S.--Twenty-
five men, supposed to be members of
the Dark Tobacco Growers Associa-
uon, rode into Dawson Springs Sat
urday night and began to inquire for
Fl. b. C'Bud') Williams, a tobacco
buyer for the Imperial Tobacco Com
pany.
They visited the stores and public
places, but were unable to locate
Mr.. Williams. They stopped citi-
Gems on the streets and demanded to
be shown to Mr.. Williams home.
Only a short time before. Mr.. Will
liams had been seen on the streets,
but he was evidently warned of the
coming of the strange party and they
were unable to locate him.
Silas KevIl, the negro porter at
the Hotel Arcadia, was stopped on
the street, aud was almost terrified
when he found himself surrounded
by a body of notwithstanding men
dressed in SLOUGH hats and armed

with buggy whips. They wanted
Kevil to locate Mr.. Williams for
them, but the negro was frightened
and almost speeches. and was I'M
able to do their bidding.
Bradley Wilson, chairman of the
Dark Tobacco Growers Associa lion
Of Hopkins county, is in Dawson
Springs for the purpose of investi-
eating the reports that had been
made to him to the effect that Mr..
Williams had bought or had attempt
ed to buy tobacco that had been
pledged to the association.

To The Voters OF The City Of Marion.

Inasmuch as Mr.. W. H. Clark,
candidate for Mayor on what is
known as "The Peoples Ticket" has
published a statement giving his
reasons for making the race, and the
necessity for another ticket IN addi-
ton to the Citizens Ticket, Of which
the undersigned are the nominees,
from which statement of Mr.. Clark
the citizens might be led to presume
that we are advocating the measures
which he proposes to correct, and In
order that the voters may know our
position upon these matters, We de-
sire to submit the following state
ment of our intentions if we should
be elected.
First, we do not believe that it is
necessary to have more than one tel
ephone exchange in our town, for the
reason that it is a double tax upon
the business men, who would be re
quired to subscribe to two phones
instead of one, and for the further
reason that we think our streets
should not be furthered encountered
with the poles and wires necessary
for the establishment of another
system, not only taking up the use
of the street, but increasing the
danger to the citizens by the increas-
ed liability of the wires to become
crossed with the electric light wires,
We also believe that the expenses
of operating the city should be kept
down to the lowest possible limit,
compatible with good government
and the maintenance of our streets
in good condition. We also endorse
the adoption of the local option law
in our town, and we believe that any
violation of the local option law by
the sale of whiskey or other Intoxi-
cants or the importation of any of
them for the purpose of sale in our
city, in violation of the law, should
be punished to the fullest extent of
the law, and We pledge ourselves to
use our best endeavors to have any
one engaged in the sale of intoxi-
eating liquor within the town, pun.
ished to the fullest extent of the law
without partiality or favor to any
one. And in this connection, we
pledge ourselves that We will not
repeal the present ordinance which
provides penalty of Imprisonment
of any violating the local option law.
As our Board is nominated "a a
