During the course of the article, th'

All this is carefully arranged and

arrange to do these things secretly

the responsibility for these iniquities

Tolstoi instances the shocking
spread of greed among Russians to

A Correction for Hampton.

John r. Hampton, democratic
candidate for council, and who served
this county in the assembly the past
two years, returned home last night.
He informed the ERA reporter that
he had been accused of opposing the
three-cent passenger fare bill, which
by the way is a matter of record and
can be traced by any one who so de-
sires. The fact is that Mr.. Hampton
worked for the passage of the bill
from beginning to end and was a
factor in passing it through the
house. The bill died in the council
instead of the house, hence Mr..
Hampton's record in this matter was
all that could be asked.
