E. social. Proceeds to go toward
the purchase of new singing books.
Every one wishing to attend will be
provided with a means of convey
ance from Delhi.
The citizens of Delhi have organ
lied themselves into commercial
club. and we are hoping that some
very much needed business improve
ments will follow as result. One
resolution in particular, which was
acted upon at the last business meet
ing, appeals especially to US. Re-
solved, that it shall be the aim and
duty of each member to take an ac-
tive part in and use his best in1u-
ence to bring about friendly bust
ness relations. to encourage and as
sist in the establishment of some
new and much needed business en-
terprises, such as good hotel. res
taurant, barber-shop, meat market,
livery barn. etc. All of which
we seriously need.

A daily exchange thus sounds the
tocsin of personal liberty: 1.-The
anti-get-rich-quick activities of the
Postoffice are clearly an attack upon
the personal liberty of the citizen.
What department of the govern

we shall invest our money? Where
does the Postmaster General get his
mandate to deny the citizen the
privilege of throwing his money in a
rat hole? These assaults on personal
liberty should be looked into. We
should have Immediately a number
of personal liberty leagues to take q
decided stand against paternalism.

Hutchinson Leader: Notwith-
standing the fact that w. D. Griffith
has held the office of treasurer of
Renyille county twelve years and by
buying and improving residence
property in Hutchinson indicated
very strongly that he was ready to
quit the job, the people over there
weren't ready for a change. He
waited until the last moment and
then, as nobody had filed for the
office he again put in an application.
He is eager to be settled in the home
he has fitted up so conveniently and
comfortably here and after the CON-
ing winter, leaving his son, Hal, in
charge of the Office, will bring Mrs.
Griffith here from her present home
in Hector and will spend consider
able of his time here, but the office
the people of Renville county have
entrusted to his hands will in no way
be neglected as Hal, who is duly
deputized, is a first class official.

W. C. 7. U. Discussion.

The w. {. T. U. met with Mrs.
Cunningham on Thursday. Dec. 1st,
and had. as usual. an interesting
meeting.
The program consisted of report
of the Baltimore National convention
and post card greetings were read
from those who were in attendance
at that great gathering.
A most interesting discussion on
equal suffrage. led by Mrs. Fuller.
developed the fact that the effects
of the equal suffrage law of Colorado
has been misrepresented by several
leading publications notably the
Ladies Home Journal and The Out
look-and that the adverse article
published on the subject in recent
number of the Journal was obtained
by bribery and fraud.
1t is we'll known fact that it was
the woman's vote that kept Judge
Ben Lindsay in office when the IL
quor forces of Denver were trying
to depose him.
1t is also true that the evil forces
of the country en- masse are opposed
to equal suffrage. and that fact
ought to speak for itself to all right
minded people.
1t was decided to hold a depart
mental meeting at the home of
Mrs. Adsit on Thursday, Dec. 18th.

latest development in the indict-
ment Of Mr. DnIaney on the charge
Of attempting to bribe Senator Bill

cent senatorial caucus, is the ques-
tion raised By able lawyers here
that the giving or Offering Of
money to influence vote in b eau
Gus proceeding is not criminal
act. IF this view is correct the I'M
|dictment is demurrable and could
not support q criminal verdict of
guilt.
The statute under which the in
|dictment Is drawn provides that
any person who gives. or offers to
give. q raenher Of the Legislature
money for the purpose Of influence
ing his vote IS guilty Of bribery
and punishable for it. The statute
Of course means an attempt to in

question raised is whether vote

The former governor returned

No man was ever subjected to
a more trying test than the dis

That a man would bring upon
himself all that he is now suffering

plicable.

Senator BiIbo's negotiations or
dealings with Mr.. Dulaney. Real

believe in him, they trust him. and
they have no doubt that he will be
vindicated by the courts. /"

After Governor Vardaman had

labout half an hour. After discuss
ling the recent senatorial caucus,

| In as he said. to defeat the will
of the people, " he briefly outlined
the great fight going on at jackson
in the exposure Of the use of money
/ and other corrupting influences in
the senatorial contest. He declared
in 30 uncertain tones that efforts
we're being made by some Of the
Percy adherents to misrepresent,
through the press Of Jackson and
certain other papers, the true facts
of the now famous Dulaney bribery
case. He declared that there were
no contradictions in the evidence
supporting his charges, espe cially
as to DR.. CuIpepper's testimony,
which fact was evidenced by the
fact that the grand jury Of Kinds
county did not hesitate to find a
true bill after hearing ali the testi-
mony. He declared that the alIeg-
ed newspaper reports Of what the
evidence is are il the main untrue
and colored to suit the Dulaney
side. He told his people of the
efforts being made by certain peos
pie to break down his testimony by
resorting to silly ridicule and in
famous slander.
Senator Bilbo said that if the
people would withhold Judgment
until they heard an the facts given
out officially that he had no fear
of the result. lie declared that
there had been no effort made to
expel him from the Senate, nor
had any one dared to even make a
charge against him. He was greet
led by hnndreds appIauding

Neil then exhibited one ot her lit.
tie girl, whom she stated had died
several years ago. and as she mar
rated in a few brief sentences her
past life, tears trickled down her
cheeks.
sBut why give down like thisg,'
she said. Life for me has never

Iif I should die now there would be
a few people who would say, Mrs

they might think of me for a few
days or weeks, and then they would
forget that had ever lived.
Mrs. Neil's trunk tray was flied
with a large batch of letters, papers
and apparently credentials Of
various kinds. OF these she would
not say much.
Mrs. Nei. was asked IL she would
not tell more Of her connection
with the Jackson senatoial contest.
but she srnilingly declined. She
expressed the hope that there
would not be any serious trouble
growing out Of the present investi-
cation, but said that she intends to
give facts, figures, dates and the
names of prominent men, and pos
sibly women, who will throw a
great deal of light upon the situa-
tion. She said that during the
senatorial caucus she knew inti-
mately of a great many things that
transpired, and of this she intends
to tell all she knows at the proper
time.

there was woman friend with
her, who later left the city, going

had another woman friend at her
room, who assisted her in packing.
Mrs. Neil says her business in
Vicksburg has been entirely con-

cine she has been selling, and she.
has now finished her work here.
She was asked if she had taken any
legal steps toward entering suit

she alleges published q libelous

lawyer over the telephone. but had
not taken any further action. She
intends to take up the matter as

Mrs. Neil was asked where she
intended to stay when she reached
the capital, and said that in all
probability she would go to the

fully decided.
She was dressed in neat black
