Question of wet or DRY Is Being
Decided Today.

Youngstown, o., June 9.-Voters of
Mahoning county decide today wheth-
er they will permit or prohibit the
sale of liquor in that territory. Ma

three hundred saloons will be closed,
and thousands of dollars worth of
brewery property will be idle.
Women and children have been
provided with banners bearing
such inscriptions as BILLY Whitla
was worth $4,000; how much is your
boy worth - and Come in; the wat
er's fine" They are standing near
polling places Haunting the banners

SAYS TAFT's A GREAT MAN.

Uncle Joe Cannon is a great pla-
Gator, when he comes to find that
there is a little unpopularity hang
ing around in his immediate vicinity.
Your Uncle Joe is siding up to Pres
ident Taft with some very winning
words and finely spun phrases as to
his ability. In a recent issue Of Les
lies Weekly, Mr.. Cannon makes a
bid for President Taft's warmest
friendship when he expresses him
self az follows:
II believe the man in the White
House is the greatest president we
have had since Lincoln's day. He IS
2 man of judicial temperament, a
man who will not cut across lots.
He will cooperate with congress and
allow congress to cooperate with
him, protecting the rights of the
American people under the law.
President Roosevelt was a great ex-
ecutive. He might be compared with
st. John the Baptist, who came be-
fore the Master. Then there came
q st. Paul to interpret the teachings
Of the Master, and without the st.
Paul we might never have under
stood those teachings. Agitators,
muck rakers and cranks have their
place, but the, republican party has
its place, and will march four square
to victory over them all if it is true
to it's policies and to it's principles.
! am not abusing the muck raker.
God made him what he is, and he
evidently has ome use. But this is
not the time for talk; it is the time
for action. Ninety MILLIONS of peo-
pie pause and wait. The jobber is
not placing his orders six months
ahead, and the manufacturer is not
preparing as extensively as he for
merly did. because they are waiting
for the tariff bill. Therefore it be-
ho0ves us to pass the tariff bill as
promptly as possible-not a perfect
bill. because perfection comes from
God alone.

his weak action as governor in per-
hitting Cassill's interest graft which
helped finance two daily papers
(Sioux Falls Press M Aberdeen
Daily American) in Crawford's sup
port; a word from the governor to
the legislature or to the treasurer
would have stopped that practice
which together with the land fraud
charges came nearly ditching the en-
tire movement; his mismanagement
of state finances; his demagogic adj
vocacy of a two-cent rate law instead
of a fair intelligent study of the rail-
road rate question, and his choice
for his successor in the governors
chair of a mar incapable of being a
leader in his own right.
"But all of these things | should
have passed e as incidents in the
attainment of a great reform if there
had been an honest effort on Craw-
ford's part to provide by law for
doing away as far as possible with
the evils of machine control in poll
tics. This he could easily have done,
as governor, in enactment of the
primary law; because the legislators
we're singularly responsive to him;
however, he failed to do so. He APP
pears to believe with Senator Gam
bic who, speaking of the new ma
chine said: This thing will stand up
and run Itself for % years now if
we just grease it a little"
81, however, do not believe in a
Office holders who are not willing to
stand for reform as to themselves, in
the matter of peddling patronage and
have therefore withdrawn from Craw-
ford at the height of his power at the
beginning of a new administration,
when I have everything to lose and
nothing to gain personally by SO do
ing. 1 have made sacrifice of six
years in time and substance as an
evidence of good faith.
II hope this will be specific enough
for the Sioux Falls Press and it's
prominent owners"
