REPUBLICAN
RALLIES BIG
Speakers Enthusiastic.
ally Greeted Along
Entire Route

The meetings of the republican
county candidates were opened at Dry
town last Thursday, October 9th,
and reports are circulated that the
opening night was one of the most
enthusiastic that the town has ever
Witnessed
The party, after bushwacking in the
lower part of the county all day Fri
day, again assembled at Buena Vista
wnere another rousing reception was
rendered the candidates.
On Saturday evening Hon. G. F.
McNoble of Stockton, was present
with the party at lone, and spoke on
state and national issues. The meet
ing at lone, as were the two previous
meetings, all that could be expected
Most of the party returned to their
homes on Sunday and had day of rest
with their families, starting out on
Monday morning to visit Plymouth
and vicinity.
A rousing meeting was held at Ply
mouth on Monday night. and each of
the candidates report full satisfaction
with the general outlook in that loca-
lity.
On Wednesday evening Volcano did
herself credit to the republican party.
Nothing more in the way of a recep-
tion could have been expected, and
the applause greeting each candidate
as he was introduced was stimulant
enough for the weakest speaker to do
himself full credit, in explaining the
many necessities and the stern qualiti-
cations which are required by the
officer.
Pine Grove was reached on Thurs
day night, and here another large and
enthusiastic audience was faced. This
district is now claimed by the republi-
can party and next Tuesday will
verify the report we feel sure.
To night will start the real fight fol-
honors and offices, as the aspirants
have the honor of addressing the
citizens of Amador and an exceptional
ly large turnout is expected.
This is the home John S. Davis, the
republican candidate for sheriff, and
it is claimed he will carry his town by
big vote.

Primary Law Has
Many Freak Results

The primary election played many
curious antics. When man is nomi.
mated on the ticket by the majority
votes of any party having a place on
the ballot, there is no way of getting
his name off the printed ballot. 1t
may be he is not in sympathy with
the doctrines of the party whose nomi-
nation he receives, without any seek
ing on his part, nevertheless he must
stay with it. This is apt to give birth
to wrong views concerning the candi-
date. For instance, Grove l.. Johnson
was candidate at the primaries for
assemblyman. He was defeated by
Charles A. Bliss. who is the regular
republican candidate. But johnson
received one vote on the prohibition
ticket, and was thereby made the pro-
hibition candidate for that office. He
is not and never was a prohibitionist,
but he cannot get off the ticket.
In this county, similar pranks were
played by the primary law.
u Gregory received the socialist NOM
ination for sheriff by lone vote. HIS
name will go on the ballot as the
nominee of that party for sheriff as
we'll as the democratic nominee. His
republican nominee, John S. Davis
received a vote or two on the prohibi-
tion ticket, and was made the nominee
of that party for sheriff, without any
seeking on his part. He is not pro-
hibitionist, but republican out and
out. His name must therefore appear
on the ballot as the regular nominee of
that party, which nomination he was
not seeking, as we'll as the republican
nominee, which honor he was seeking.
We make this explanation to avoid
any misunderstanding. These scatter
ing nomination have no bearing what
ever upon the sentiments of the parties
nominated.

LICENSE ISSUE WARM
Atte mpt to Mislead Voters
in Explaining Case

The chief burden of the speeches of
U. S. Gregory and C. z. Vicini
throughout the county has been to
clear themselves in the matter of the
uncollected licenses and free licenses
to John Ratio. The fallacy of the
arguments resorted to in the effort to
befog the people on this issue needs to
be shown. In defense of Ratio s
freedom from contributing anything
toward the support of the county
government these advocates of non
payment claim that Ratio is a poor
man, and unable to pay a county
license. The comparison was made
with the poor man trying to keep out
of the poorhouse by peddllng trinkets
on the street. Ratio was held up as a
subject of sympathy, unable to make
living except by bumming on the
taxpayers. This is anything but com
plmentary to Ratio.
The truth is Ratio is young man,
single and able bodied. He pays a
city license for conducting his show in
Jackson-pays it because the city
authoritles-unlike the county mana
gers-insist upon his contributing his
share for the governmental protection
afforded him. He is we'll able to pay,
because he has done a thriving bust
ness -as good bushes as any one in
Jackson. If he can pay here he can
pay the county license for show
ing IN Sutter Creek also. If he is not
doing a paying business there, why
not quit, and let some one else try. If
he is doing paying business on the
outside, the poverty plea, miserable as
it is, will not hold. He is not dependent
upon the outside show business, with
its shirked license, for living, but
upon the Jackson business, where he
has to pay a license. The truth is,
the basis of the free license is politi-
cal, and nothing else.

Struck Wrong Man

Last Saturday night, while the
democratic rally was in progress, a
man considerably under the influence
of liquor. persisted in annoying many
people in the crowd which had as
sembled to listen to the speakers, by
begging money and abusing all who re-
fused him. The fellow asked one man
too many, and before he knew 1t, city
marshal Sanguinetti had him on his
way to the lookup, where he spent the
night refecting on his i'll fortune.
Next morning the city marshal es-
corted the man who could give no
place of residence to the city limits,
and after warning bid him an adieu.
Another deaf and dumb CRATER was
given the same send-off by our city
marshal the same day.

Closed Out Business

r. S. Bierce, who has been conduct
ing an exclusively shoe store in Jack
son for several years, in the front of
Loves hall, has closed out his bus-
ness, and intends to leave with his
family for other parts. He has been
negotiating to form partnership in
the shoe repairing line, with improved
machinery. The stock of Regal shoes
which he carried for sale on commits
sion, was packed up and shipped back
to the factory. The other stock, we
are informed, was assigned to the
creditors. The vacated premises may
be occupied by T. j. Burrows, the

DEMOCRATS
PLEAD CAUSE
CandidatesReCit Stero-
typed Addresses Be-
fore Fair Crowds

We last week published portion of
the talk indulged in at the initial meet
ing Of the democratic local candidates
in Buena Vista on Tuesday of last
week. A representative of the Ledger
was there for the purpose of taking
notes. 1t has been the practice of
some of the local orators of democracy
to pour out their pent-up walls of
wrath against the Ledger on such oc-
casions, and we simply wanted to get
a line on the tunes to be sung for the
edlfcation of the voters, but not be-
cause we cared snap for abuse usual
ly showered at such times. The
speakers, however, were not anxious
for publicity along the customary
path, and kept fairly within the limits
of legitimate discussion on this pro
position, however foolish the speakers
were in other respects.
On Friday night the same candidates
were at Pine Grove. The candidates
had started for the meeting place be-
fore the Ledger was issued but the
papers reached the Grove by the regu
lar mail that evening. The Ledger
was never in such demand in the little
village as that evening. In a business
place the candidates were gathered.
with a number of residents of the
vicinity. They were divided into
several groups of half a dozen or so
each. Each group was excitedly por-
ing over a copy of the Ledger, and
discussing it's contents, the discussion
at times waxing vehement and stormy.
1t was one of the most amusing scenes
witnessed in local politics for years.
The reporter for the Ledger was
present at the Pine Grove meeting, to
the amazement of the candidates.
Some of them seemed to think that it
was an sct of outrage for a local re-
porter to dare to report their speeches
or to he present at all in a reportorial
capacity. However, the speeches were
toned down in several respects from
the previous night. Some of the silly
stuff was cut out.
Gregory informed his hearers that
they would not need to bother them
selves for any other democratic candi-
date for sheriff as long as he lived,
for, he tearfully sobbed, ~ want to
stay with you forever, or until | die,

Entire County In Sym

Movement

The campaign that is now being
waged throughout the county in the
interest of the high school movement
is meeting with encouragement in all
sections and there is no doubt enter
tanned Of the success of the proposi
tion at the Forthcoming special cleo
tion. Enthusiastic meetings have been
held in Drytown, Plymouth, Oleta,
Voclano and Pine Grove, and the cam
paign will close in Jackson, tonight,
at the grand rally to be held under the
auspices of the High School Boosters
Club of Jackson. Plans are also under
way for a meeting in Amador City
Sunday night, as Professor Green
halgh does not wish to leave out any
part of the county in his campaign Of
education. The meeting scheduled for
Amador City was cancelled owing to
the quarantine against scarlet fever,
but as this embargo has been lifted,
1T is desired to give the people of that
city an opportunity to listen to the
arguments in favor of the high school.
Especial interest in the movement
has been manifested in the eastern
section of the county, where largely
attended meetings were held, on Tues
day night in Volcano, and at Pine
Grove the following evening. The
citizens of Volcano turned out en-
masse Tuesday evening to listen to
the speakers whom Mr. Greenhalgh
had enlisted to assist him in his work.
The Cook band rendered assistance by
the rendition of stirring and appro-
pirate selections before and during

iasm of the assembly by their stirring
rally song and rally yell. The meet

KILLED In MINE
Victim of Fatal Accident
Leaves Family to
Mourn Loss

A fatal accident occurred in the
South Eureka mine on Friday night
last. Shaft repairing is in progress at
the mine. At the time of the fatality,
Nick Glavinich and a number of others
were working in the shaft, Glavinich
being one of the crew employed
at point 80 feet below the $500
level About nine o'clock big
block of timber, such as is used in
shaft work, got loose. and fell down
the shaft. How it came to fall we
are unable to say. The block struck
Glavinich in the head, knocking him
down the shaft. He fell about $50
feet. The fall must have killed him
almost instantly. The body was badly
mangled on one side. Coroner Potter
held an inquest the following day, the
jury finding verdict of accidental
death. The funeral was held last
Monday, under the auspices of the
Austrian Benevolent Society, of which
lodge the deceased has long been a
member. The remains were buried
in the Catholic cemetery, Rev. Father
Gleeson officiating.
The deceased was 48 years of age,
and a native of Austria. He had
been a resident of this county for
about 20 years. employed most of the
time in the mines of this vicinity.
He leaves a wife and three children,

SUICIDE MANIA
Johnson Succeeds In
Taking Life BY
Drowning

Oscar johnson, Swede employed at
various mines about Jackson. who at
tempted suicide on Wednesday night of
last week, and was only fustrated in
his act by the timely arrival of several
men who heard his means after he
had slashed his throat and windpipe,
is missing.
Johnson wandered away from the
county hospital, to which institution
he was committed after his first act
upon his own life, and was successful
ly treated by DR.. A. M. Gall, who
sewed up the ugly gashes which were
self inflicted.
Nothing more was seen or heard
about him. until Harry Richards and
Dick Penrose found some clothing on
small raft of the Argonaut Mine
reservoir, and they Immediately re-
ported the facts to the authorities in
Jackson. An investigation found that
the clothes belonged to Oscar John
son, the man who had secretly left
the county home.
Several men were dispatched TO the
scene with graphing irons.
Constable Laverone and John Gar
barini dragged the reservoir as well as
the imperfect implements at their com
mand would allow. The water is Is
feet deep in the center, and there was
no boat available, so that the cropping
for the body was unsatisfactory and
resutIess.
The general feeling is that a human
body is concealed by the water. Some
think that the supposed victim tried to
create the impression of suicide, and
has decamped. His full clothing was
not left. only hat and coat-the latter
saturated with blood from the gashed
throat, and the hat recognized by con-
stable Laverone as the one he had
given him when taken to the hospital.
The water for the supply of Jackson
for domestic purposes comes through
the Argonaut reservoir, and this i'm
parts serious phase to the matter.
The district attorney, who was away
on campaign tour, was notified, and
arrived Wednesday. The matter of
draining the reservoir was mentioned
as the most satisfactory solution, but
the question of who should bear the
cost proved a bone of contention. 1t
would necessitate shut down of the
Argonaut hoist. which is operated by
water power, for two or three days, at
a loss of several hundred dollars. The
company was in no way to blame, and
should not bear the loss, the officials
contended. On the other hand the
county and city authorities were averse
to making it a public charge.
Yesterday, by means of glass ap-
paratus to see through the water, an
effort was made to locate the body, but
without success, the sun being too low.
Another effort will be made to-day.
If it fails, the emptying of the reser-
voir will be imperative.
The people of Jackson are uneasy
Hdyrant water is discarded for domes-
tic purposes, and the wells are being
resorted to in the emergency. The sit
uation is becoming acute.
