This law went into effect on the
first OF last July. 1t has been repeat
eddy violated by the Isaacs of Canton.
None could prosecute these violations
but the states attorney. Doctors in
the city of Canton have given pre-
scrfptions to persons desiring to use
it for beverage purposes and no prose-
cution has been had, none but the
states attorney could prosecute. 1
also drew a law making drug stores
selling liquor Illegally nuisances S 70 as
to avoid the decision of Judge Jones.
These laws were introduced in the
senate by Senator Laxson and In the
house by Representative Cable, and
all the members in both houses from
Lincoln county heartily supported
them and they became laws and have
been or the statute book and in force
since last July, yet Notwithstanding
many violations have taken place the
states attorney took no steps to en-
force the law.
Ii l am elected, l will see to it that
such a charge cannot be made against
me. 1t will be noticed that I was
notJidle and while 1 was doing all
those things the state attorney con-
tributed no assistance. Lincoln cOun-
ty Is now substantially prohibition.
If the people Of the county desire it
to remain so the laws must be en-
forced and the parties opposing my
candidacy n supporting my op-
ponent are the same parties who al
ways support the saloon policy. If
the people of this county are not In
favor Of the enforcement of their laws
it would be better that the laws be
repealed. l have confidence in my
self that I can enforce these laws. I

REPORT ROAD is
TO Be ABANDONED
CENTERVlLLE AROUSED oyEp
RUMoR CONCERNING THE
A AND C. RAILROAD.

Centerville, Oct. 15.--A sensation
struck Centerville yesterday afternoon
IN the report that the Abba &; Center
vile railroad, twenty-six miles Of road
between these two towns, will be aban-
doned and the road .'scrapped," the
rams sold and the right-of-way be per-
mltted to revert to the original owners.
The rumor has been in circulation for
some time, since DR.. Sawyer's return
from New York two weeks ago. but
not until late yesterday afternoon was
there anything in the way of definite
information, when DIR. Sawyer admitted
That the stockholders are considering
such disposition Of the road, which,
ne states. is being operated under a
lease with the Iowa Central at a direct
loss to the stockholders of $4,000 a
year. DR.. Sawyers was in New York in
consultation with Col. Slocum, the rem
resentative Of the Sage estate which
owns controlling interest in the road.
Dr. Sawyers represents the Drake
estate which owns $4,000 Of the stock
and there is about sixty thousand dol
lars of stock owned by other persons.
he admitted that in all probability the
road would be abandoned They have
tried to sell it to both the Iowa Central
and the Burlington roads. but could
not make satisfactory negotiations. 1t
Is estimated that the rails and saliva se
II oil tIS ROAD VIII DTlnS ABOUT fifty
thousand dollars. The capital stock Of
the road is 100000. The Iowa Central,
while having a lease to operate the
road has given most miserable service
and it is thought that it has been try
ing to freeze out the stockholders.
The abandonment Of the road will
work great hardship on the Center
vile Block Coal company, which has
one Of it's best mines. on the road two
miles from any other road and uses
this road to get into the northern mar
kets. 1t would nulify the utility of
this big mine which cost the Block
company over one hundred thousand
dollars and employs three hundred
miners. The block company is up in
arms and will try and see if the aban-
donment cannot be stopped, claiming
that there was a large subsidy put up
for the construction of the road and
Is still represented in the sixty thous-
and dollars of stock not owned by the
Sage and Drake estates. The line was
constructed about thirty years ago and
has been a good feeder for the Cen
trail and Burlington at Abba A new
bridge was constructed across Chart
ton river a few years ago at a cost of
$4,000 and new rails were laid ten
years ago.
Centerville is up in arms over
this matter and something serious may
develop.

KENDALL Gains
over DISTRICT

Abba, Oct 15.-The result Of the
congressional vote in the Sixth dis
trict appears to be very satisfactory
to the Abba friends Of Mr.. Kendall.
He has just completed trip through
Keokuk county, and every meeting he
held was largely attended. Reports
from the meetings since have confirm
ed the belief that Mr.. Kendall added
much strength to his vote. He has
been in Wapello county, where other
large crowds have gathered to hear
him, and the coming week he will be
in Davis county. His home county,
Monroe, will be reserved for the last
week Of the campaign, and then he
will cover the county thoroughly. The
one meeting which he held at Lovilia
was the largest rally that has been
Flattering reports come from Powc-
shiek and Jasper counties, and the
Abba admirers of Kendall feel san
guine that the Monroe county man
will be the winner Hundreds of let
tiers are pouring into the city every
week telling Mr.. Kendall of new re-
eruits to his ranks in every city in
the district. The coal miners of Mon
roe county are showing their loyalty
to man who las stood always for
their interests, and those of Monroe
county, no matter of what political
faith. are, rallying to his standard.

NAMES GO ON TICKET.
Injunction Sought by Monroe County
Democrats Denied by Judge
Roberts.

Abba, Oct. -(SpeciaD-J
Roberts has filed decision in deny
ing the injunction sought by the Dem.
ocrats of Monroe county by which
they asked to have the names of the
candidates Of the various parties for
members of the board of supervisors
not printed on the ballots that will be
used in the county at large. At the
last June session Of the board they
passed a resolution doing away with
the three districts as 1t had been and
making it necessary to vote over the
entire county to fill the Offices. The
Democrats of the county claimed the
board had no right to make such r
ruling and they appealed to the courts.
Judge Roberts heard the evidence
and arguments in the case last Sat
urday but withheld his judgment un-
til this morning. The Democrats now
claim they will appeal the matter to
the supreme court and ask for an
early hearing that will prevent the
change in printing the ballots if they
are upheld by the upper courts.

BLOOMFIELD HAS
POLITICAL CLUB

Bloomfield, Oct. 5.-(SpeciaD- THE
Taft and Carroll club Of Bloomfield
has started the campaign in Davis
county with 800 mel. Lers. A hall has
been rented and a glee club organized,
with J. P. Toombs as leader. John
Ethel is the president, and opened
the club with witty speech, aft or
which speeches were made by N. S.
John, John curl, Prof. York, Neut
Battin, J. P Tombs, w. w. White Vt
Pulaski, and T. P. Bence. At the close
of these short addresses Hon. ELS
worth Rom.nger delivered an address
to the club. The mastery manner in
which he supported the election Of
Taft and Sherman, and Republican
principles, stirred the entire club to
a high state of enthusiasm. For about
an hour, he held his hearers with such
a profound logic. that at the close
they rendered him an ovation j. p.
Tombs moved that the thanks Of the
club be rendered Mr.. Rominger for his
able address. He tated that while
out of town speakers had been ex-
pected he would match Mr.. Rominger
against any political speaker in the
United States. Davis county is for
Taft, and the new club is enthusiastic.
