The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1908-02-01

The charges made yesterday in the
date for the republican nomination for
county treasurer. created considerable
excitement in political circlcs-in fact,
it was the first sensation of the cam
paign. The Second National bank re-
sents the statement published in a To-
cal paper last evening, to the effect
tnat was the bank referred to by Mr..
Jenkinson in his charge that a certain
local financial institution had tried to
buy him off" SO that its candidate for
county treasurer could secure the nom
inatiOn. The denial issued by the
Second National bank is printed
above.
jerome Shurley, who was charged
with being the Second National
banks candidate for county treasurer,
emphatically brands Mr.. Jenkinsons s
statement and the newspaper article
referred to, as wholly false. Today
Nh Shurley made the following state,
mCnt
II Dc sire to contradict the statement
that the Second National bank has ev-
cr had anything TO do with my candi-
daCy. Neither before nor since | an
bounced my candidacy, have | consult
ed with the Officers Of the Second Ma
tional bank. 1t is Il fact that since
entering the race | have only been in
the bank once and went there to dis
tribute sOmc cards.
II also wish to state that | have nCV-
or approached any candidate to asccr-
tain who he was for or against. in the
county treasurer race. The charges
that have been made will be thorough
ly investigated by the county central
committee and | welcome such an in
Vestigation. In conclusion l desire to
brand the charges preferred as wholly
| false
! Local politicians are inclined to be-
lieve that the charges preferred by
| Mr.. JenkinsOn are not to be regarded
seriously. Under the new depository
| law it is asserted no banking institu-
ton would have anything to gain by
supporting a candidate for the office
OF county treasurer.

Republican Hearers.

Henry L. Johnson. who after serving
brilliantly in congress as a republican

ing into the ranks of democracy. stat
ed this morning that he endorsed Pres

president, he would support him.
Theodore Roosevelt is the most
fearless, honest and conscientious chief
executive this country has had since
the time of Andrew Jackson" was the
emphatic statement made by MI. John
son.
He regards the message sent to con-
Grcss yesterday one OF the strouges st
documents ever presented to thai ma
tional body by a president of the Unit
Led States. Every statement made by
the president in this message is heart
lily endorsed by Nh Johnson. He is of
the opinion that the result of the
charges preferred by the president in
this nomination will be his re-nomina-
tion by the republican party.
For several years past Mr.. Johnson
has with T. J. Study been actively
identified with local democratic al
fairs. This morning 3Ir. Study. after
hearing Mr.. Johnson publicly endorsed
President Roosevelt. remarked that if
William Jennings Bryan attempted TO
endorse the brain-stOrm policies advo-
Gated by the president in his message
to congress yesterday. he would be
obliged to withdraw his support OF
Mr.. Bryan.

HUGHES SENTIMENTS.

Sweeping COndemnatiOnS OF un-
certain meaning do not aid, but
rather embarrass the prosecution
of the guilty.
Combinations and practices iii
unreasonable restraint of trade, and
which menace the freedom of inter
state commerce. should be con
demned in precise terms.
Provisions may we'll be made for
joint agreement under proper cir
cumstances. as to railroad rates,
which should be subject to the APP
proval of the Interstate commerce
commission.
In my judgment the most effect
i've course is explicit definition of
what is wrong, and definite pun
ishment of the guilty.
Laws in general which are def
mite and supported by public senti-
mcnt are to a very large extent
self~executing. They are general
ly Obeyed.
I am not in favor of punishment
in the shape of fines upon corpora
tions. except for minor offenscs.
The burden of fines imposed on
such corporations is either trans
ferred TO the public or is borne by
stockholders, the innocent as well
as the guilty.

good water, good churches. good schools, sidewalks

what but few other villages have, and that is fine

of Barton has been handicapped because the most
desirable plots of available building places been
tied up in the settling of various estates. For
tunatey both places upon the market and both

STATE Pure FOOD
BILL PASSES House
Will Soon be Ready for Cover
nor'S Signature--Fav0red
By All Interested.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 11.-Kentucky's
pure food law, which has now passed
both houses and will go TO the Gov
ernor for his signature as soon as the
bill which passed the House can be sent
back to the Senate for its concurrence,
is regarded as a model law of it's kind.
The bill which passed the House this
morning is identical with the bill
which passed the Senate, but it will
have to go back to the Senate, which
go to the Governor for his signature,
and with it will become a law. 1t
has the odd distinction of being ia
vored by the druggists, the foodstuff
dealers and the liquor people, all of
whom areregulated under it's provis-
ions. Samuel Castleman, Jr., of Tor
bitt & Castleman, and Mark Blake
more, of the Goodwin Preserving COM
pany, both of Louisville, were here
to-day to see the bill through the
House, as they have been much inter-
ested in Its passage and nave repre-
scented the manufacturers of Louisville
all of whom want the bill to become
a law.
The bill is modelled along the same
lines as the national food law and will
require the proper labelling of all foods
and liquors and drugs so that the pur-
chaser will know what he is buying,
and puts heavy penalty on the VIC
lators Of the law or those who adulter'
atefood or drugs. The provision as to
whisky and its labelling follows the
ruling of the national law and pro-
vides that the Supreme Courts decis-
ion as to what shall constitute like
substances" will be binding in Ken
lucky. The bill which passed and which
will become law is known as the
Lillard bill, having been introduced
and put through by Col. E. w. Lillard.
of Boyle county.
