ing.
In exceptional instances where the

r. r. McCulloch of Ennis, whose
name appeared on the official ballot
as one of the presidential electors of
the independent party, has filed affi-
davit with the secretary of state that
his name was placed on the ticket
without his knowledge or consent
and he wants it withdrawn. He de-
clares further that he is in the en-
ploy of the federal government as a
letter carrier and also that he is a
democrat and consequently does not
want to appear on the independence
party ticket. AS the official ballot is
already printed it is too late to take
his name off, but it will be scratched
from the ticket.

be the federation of the church. There

church federation will go a long way

has a Pan-Presbyterian conference

Hearst was a candidate for governor
ship of New York he was playing an
active part in the politics of California
and forming an Independence league
patterned on the lines of the 1ndepen-
dence league in the state of New York
In supporting an independent ticket
for a Hearst candidate for governor of
California, and in opposing the Demo-
cratic candidate, the brilliant, able,
conservative and high principled Theo-
dore A. Bell, Hearst read himself out
of the Democratic party, and commit

Gillett's nomination was advocated

Cook county, Illinois, which is merely

sponsible for libeling the memory OF
Abraham Lincoln by saying that he
was an advocate of strong drink This
preposterous story took it's origin from
Lincoln's inability to resist an oppor-
tunity of cracking a joke.
At one time complaint was made to
him that General Grant was using toe
much liquor, This was at a time when
the only division of the Union army
that was achieving any success was
Grants.

coin to the informers.

does he use, mostly?"

you like us to find out?"

that 1 can have some of it passed
