IS SAMUEL COMPERS AN ISSUE

national issue divided the two parties
Their difference appeared as de-

"Mr Gompers has denounced rep

BREWERS WRITE TO FARMERS ASKING

In addition to attempting to organ

state, including as much of the Ger
man population as possible, together
with all the brewery workers bar
tenders, saloon keepers employees in
bottiing plants and bottle manufac-
turies, the allied brewery organiza-
tion has now turned its attention to
the farmers of the state and is send
ing them letter urging them to sup
port the brewers in their fight against
the election of the Republican state
ticket. The plea is made that if the
liquor interests are destroyed through
the county local option law the farm
ers' market for timber and grain will
be wrecked.

OF the word egg to every dealer in

Mr.. Barnard, "she is entitled to re-

those that have been in storage for a
long time Eggs are divided into sew
eral different classes; there are just
plain ordinary eggs, then there are
fresh eggs. farmers eggs. candled
eggs and various other sorts, and we
propose to have all of them properly
classed"
There are some dealers, it is de-
clared, who have placed fresh

violation that the food authorities are
to act. There will be prosecutions il

BREWERS AFTER
CANDIDATE CARR
CHALMERS DESPATCH GIVES
ACCOUNT OF ENMITY OF
LIQUOR MEN.
Candidate for Prosecutor Aided in
Securing a Remonstrance in
His County.

The Chalmers Despatch, where
Mr.. Carr formerly resided, has the
following to say OF this fearless tenn
perance man.
Attorney Reuben R Carr. Republi-
can candidate for prosecuting attor-
ney for the 4lst judicial district, and
for over twenty-five years of his life
resident of Chalmers is having a
battle to the finish with the whiskey
element OF that district in his race for
prosecuting attorney.
The brewery interests are leaving
no stone unturned to- defeat him at
the coming election well knowing that
If elected there will be a house-clean-
ing in SO far as they are concerned,
at least.
These people in their determination
to have prosecutor friendly to their
evil deeds in a possible hour of reck-
oning at the courts of justice stop at
no insinuations derogatory to the
-haracter of Mr.. Carr, calling on theis
booze friends of White county to help
them find something against Mr.. Carr
that they could magnify from a MOLE
hill to 2 mountain, and turn the tide
of public opinion from him, even
spreading the report that prior to go-
ing to Akron he was friendly to the
brewers cause in his home county
These cowardly assaults upon Mr..
Carr are unwarranted and without a
fabric of truth and are made for the
sole purpose of turning from him the
temperance vote.
For over twenty-five years he was
a resident of this place and no man
young or old commanded more re-
spect than did he Instead of casting
his lot with the bum element OF this
community he was always to be found
on the other side fighting for the
right and better things of life
1t was almost wholly through the
instrumentality of Reuben R. Carr
and Geo w. King that remor-
STRANGE was lodged against Michael
Dwane in 1905 and had il not been for
few weakilngs who withdrew from
the remonstrarce Chalmers would
have gone dry long before il did.
Mr.. Carr is square as a die and
straight as string and the good peo-
pie of the 41st will be doing them
selves an injustice if they fail to elect
him.
