than a slaughter house."
Mr. Rice further deposes and says
he has seen tracks Of the snake sew

HASKELL IS
ENDORSED


(Con.inueI from Tirss Paga.l
ardent supporter of WIN. j. Bryan.
He uniformally opposed special priv
ilages to corporations and otherr ike
interests and especially free railroad
passes to public officials. Through
out his career in this county, the
farmers and laboring men were espec-
Tally friendly to him.
IN 1899 Mr.. Haskell was a candid
ate for democratic nomination for
governor Of Ohio. He was quite gen
orally supported in the convention by
the delegates from northwestern Ohio,
and solialy BY his own county and
congressional district
In this connection we quote from
the Putnam County Sentinel, the
official democratic organ Of this coun-
ty, issue Of September 9TH, 1899. the
following editorial comment:
No young man who ever had his
name presented to state convention,
made more favorable impression
than Mr. Haskell, and it should be
truly gratifying to him to know now
high he stands IN the esteem Of the
state. Being third in the race Of
SEVEN and all others well known
throughout the state, is certainly
complimentary within itself and Is
evidence that there is undoubtedly
and sterling democrat.
This was a fair statement Of Mr.
Haskell's standing at the time, and
we know Of nothing since that date
that would make modification neces-
sary.
He was always a liberal supporter
of religion and good morals, and was
a man Of excellent habits, sober and
industrious, and Of good standing,
professionally and as a citizen.
We have the means Of knowing Mr..
HaskelPs character and reputation in
this community for many years past,
and we know of nothing in his career
that would make him unworthy Of
the support Of his political party for
any office in this state to which he
might aspire, if he lived here.
