Patterson, but they will realize that
few men in the state can handle the
affairs any better than he did. His

CALEB POWERS has been chosen TO be
q Congressman by Kentuckians. 1t
was useless to try to defeat him in that
district of the state, where Republicans
are as thick..as blades of broom sage.
The ignorant class of that section OF the
mountains. and it composes the bulk of
the voters of the Eleventh, idealized
this man. In their opinion, our Saviour
never suffered on the cross, what Caleb
the Martyr" did, and they cast their
votes for him. His book, written while
a prisoner in the Georgetown Jail, pend
ing his trials for completely in the
assassination of Governor Goebel, has
been their Bible since it was issued, and
with tears in their eyes they swarmed
to the polls in the primary and defeated
Congressman Edwards, as well as Hon.
Elzra Bartram on last Tuesday. The
plurality was cut down to 5000, fall
ing off of about 10000, as the district is
normally republican from eighteen to
twenty thousand. All honor to those
Republicans and they number about
10000, who voted against Powers. in an
effort to hold up the good name OF the
state.

COULD CLOSE c r. SALOONS
President Taft Has That Power According
to an Old Treaty.

BY virtue Of an Indian treaty rego.
tiated and ratified in 1854. the absolute
power rests IN President Taft TO pro.
hibit the sale of liquor in the western
half OF the upper peninsula Of Mich
gan. All that portion of tile peninsula
lying west Of the Escanaba and Choco-
late rivers was ceded by the Chippewa
Indians under the stipulation that the
sale OF intoxicants should be under the
sole control Of the president Of the u
nited States.
The president has never taken any
action In the matt,i, but the possibil-
ity that he may, IS emphasized by the
turmoil at present raging in the north
ern part OF Minnesota
Not long ago the commission of In
dian affairs dug mp this old subordin-
ate that the sale Of liquor must be
stopped and all saloons closed through.
ont an extensive area OF Minnesota by
Sent 25 Of this year, and that they
must be kept closed until congress or
dered otherwise. The order Affects i25
railroad towns and is claimed by the
brewing aud whisky interests TO nulify
the value Of nearly So, 600. 900 worth Of
property The liquor interests had
delegation day in secret conference
with the Indian office 10 see # the or
der could not be rescinded If this Is
not done they threaten to got out an
injunction and then to test the treaty
in the courts.

dians gave up their title 70 the west
