that the imitation typewriter letter

HAS BECOME SOCIALIST AND
so DECLINES NOMINATION

Ellis 7. Yarnell has declined to accept
a nomination of the Prohibitionists for
state senator on the ground that he has
Joined the Socialists, where he hopes
to accomplish liquor reforms by other
methods.
To the editor of The Herald he writes
Il notice in the account of the session
of the county convention for the Pro-
hibition party that my name is mem
toned as a candidate for state senator
for the Thirty-seventh district.
while thanking the convention for
the honor conferred, I am obliged to
withdraw my name, which was used
without my knowledge, as I am no
longer connected with the Prohibition
party.
my attitude of opposition to the
liquor business remains unchanged, but
I have become convinced that the
knockout blow must be struck at the
7-cent profit in the Decent drink.
II have therefore joined the ranks of
the Socialist party, hoping that through
the realization of it's principles the way
will be cleared, not only for the aboli-
ton of the liquor traffic. but for other
and even worse evils which depend on
the material profits which they produce
for their existence.
while not named for office on the
Socialistic ticket, take the liberty Of
inviting those who desire to seriously
and uncompromisingly exert their in
fiuence for reform, to study the prin-
ciple of scientific Socialism and sup
port them at the polls"
