ELECTION WAS ONE-SIDED.

dates were most in evidence around
the polls, and it was conceded early
in the day that they were leading
in the balloting.
Messrs. Roberts, Durham and Lew
is, who were known as the odd tick
ct" announced their candidacy last
January following a mass meeting
protesting against the licensing OF
nigh beer in the city, and were gem
orally understood to be running as
the representatives of those who are
opposed to the sale of the suds and
favor putting the lid on tighter in
Dawson.
Messrs. Baldwin, Jennings and
Davidson did not announce until
about six weeks ago, and while thew
made no declaration as to their posi-
ton it was the general idea that
they did not object to the sale of
the substitute for the beverage that
made Milwaukee famous
AS a majority of the hold-over al
dermen voted last January to license
the sale of beer it is a pretty safe
prediction that it will be done again
when the tax ordinance for 1910 is
| up for consideration.
Messrs. Baldwin, Davidson and
Jennings will succeed Aldermen
Lowrey, Hamilton and McNulty.

THE NEW NEAR BEER LAW
Subscriber Doesn't Understand
Why Dawson Should Have
Monopoly of 1t.

Editor of The News: | know moth
ing of the game of politics as played
by some of our ambitious citizens,
and care less, but as one of the COM
mon people profoundly interested in
all that concerns the welfare of Ter
rell county | am puzzled over the
action of our senator on the near
beer question, since it is easy to re-
call that during his candidacy he
spent weeks and weeks mingling with
the dear people," and wrote card
after card to convince them that he
was the one friend on whom thew
could depend to fight all their bat
ties and keep them out of the clutch
es of the willy politicians. That he
should work so strenuously to help
put through bill that takes away
from the rural districts the right to
sell near beer and gives all the bust
ness to the cities is beyond my COM
prehension after having heard so
much OF his touching sOlicitude for
his country constituents | do not
pretend to understand great matters
of state like our senator. but as 4
firm believer in the fundamental doc
" NHooA I4S1Io W oil ana
special privileges to none" | submit
that If near beer is a good thing for
Dawson it is just as good for Bron-
wood and HerOd, PARROT and Sasser.
out II 1T is such an evil that it must
be driven out of our neighboring
towns then, in the name of peace.
what right has Dawson to continue
in the business?
1t is true that in casting his vote
for this measure Col. Irwin repre-
sented a handful of our people, the
near beer dealers and their allies,
but we believe the large majority
OF our intelligent and fair-minded
citizens will repudiate such injustice.
Our little city will not stand for any
unfairness to her nearby neighbors,
and when opportunity offers can be
depended on to help defeat this
scheme that seeks to cut off supplies
all around us to gain a stronghold
in Dawson. THE mills of the gods
grind slow, but they grind exceed
ing small. SUBSCRIBER.

Fort Dodge, Aug. 13.-Another de-

between the city and the interurban
company over the possession of certain
streets and the abandonment of 9TH
ers.
The four blocks of street car track
laid by the Fort Dodge, Des Moines

tween Central avenue and Fourth av-
enue south on Eighteenth street, in de-
fiance to the wishes of the people OF
the city and the protest of the cit,
council, may prove to be useless to

having been issued by Judge r. M

ing them from turning on the electric

The temporary injunction was grant
ed at the request of the Fort Dodge

workmen of the company had unlaw-
fully cut and destroyed their wires
both on and crossing Eighteenth stree.
Notwithstanding the same had beer
erected under the direction of the prop
