All that is needed is time and expert
ence and Field has the push to keep ii
up until he succeeds. Here's wishing
him and his paper Happy and Pres.

With the coming of the new year it
is hoped the boot-leggers around town
will quit. The last case was a serious
one and Judge Ruppenthal is going to
let future candidates get their full dose
without mercy or parole If they will
persist in the wrong doing. If some
fellows must have their nip let them
send for it, not put others in danger of
prosecution, and If the fellows will sell
they must know the danger and must
take their medicine. Court reefs soor
and there is apt to be some fun fol
some fellers.

CHANDLER PAYS COLLINS FEE.
Candidate for New Hampshire Senate
Pefuses to Pay the $40.

Concord, n. H., Aug. "a Former Sem
ator William +. Chandler gave a new
phase to the legal contest over New
Hampshire's primary election statute
yesterday BY paying the nomination fee
OF General Charles S. Collins Of Nashua
as a candidate for the state Senate.
General Collins, whose name appears on
the list Of New Hampshire milIionaires,
sent to the secretary Of state last week
his declaration Of Republican candidacy
in the twentieth senatorial district, but
refused to pay the $40 registration fee
required by law Upon the refusal Of
the secretary Of state to enroll the name
without the payment Of the fee, General
Collins brought suit to compel the print
ing Of his name upon the official ballot,
asserting that a pecuniary requirement
for candidacy for public office was re-
pugnant to the constitution of the state.
Chief Justice Wallace Of the superior
court had ordered a hearing in the mat
ter at Nashua on Wednesday, and there
Is much speculation as to the effect upon
the case Of Mr. Chambers payment of
