Pomona Grange Adopts ReSO-
IutiOnS on the Subject
and Names Committee

At the session Of the quarterly meet
ing Of Pomona Grange. held yesterday
afternoon. members OF that body
placed themselves on record as being
bitterly opposed TO the practice of vote
buying, and expressed themselves as
ready TO do all in their power TO nut
an end to the practice
The subject was discussed at length,
as the farmers believe that the time
has come when no one should come
cut for Office or be supported by the
voters unless such a candidate stands
for principle. 1t was the opinion Of
the grangers that the candidate must
not be tainted or corrupt and the peo-
pie must know what backing he has
The following resolution bearing on
this subject was adopted by the unani-
nous vote of the meeting:
Whereas, The security of our Re
publican form Of government depends
upon the honest opinion of each indi-
vidual vote properly counted.
Resolved, That the Pomona Grange
use every proper influence to prevent
the corruption of the body polite by
the use of money"
In connection with this action Of the
meeting the following was also
adopted:
''That Pomona Grange heartily en-
dorses the resolution as presented and
request the worthy master to name a
committee to take up the subject and
report ways and means at the June
meeting Of this grange for carrying
into effect the sentiment expressed in
the resolution"
The following were appointed on the
committee: s. Frank Ewart. Of Hoe
kessin; Fred Brady, of Middletown: A.
r. spaid, of Wilmington; b. F. Groves,
OF Marshallton; Hervey Walker. of
Marshallton.
The subject Of a grangers' fair was
discussed at length, but no definite ac-
ton was taken. A resolution was
adopted instructing the farmers to
prepare for the fair as usual, but final
arrangements viii not be completed
until the next meeting of the grange.
which will be hela at Harmony Grange
Headquarters in Mermaid. II is under
stood that this year, if the fair is held.
each grange shall have exhibits as a
grange, but such action win not pre-
vent the farmers from making indi-
vidual exhibits of their live stock and
farm products.
The cup offered by the grange last
year for the best exhibit Of handiworlS
turned out by the children in the vari-
Gus industrial schools and which was
won by the girls in the Girls Indus
