When the new sys- tenn went into effect, each employe was given a brass badge, with his working number on it. When he goes to work in the morning he passes a small house and leaves his badge with the time keepers. He is credited with the days work and when he is ready to quit in the evening he returns and gets his badge.

After nearly giving up hope of hear
ing from relatives or others interest
ed in the disposal Of the body of
Charles Neri, the man who fell from
the third story of the Minnesota hotel
and received a broken neck last Sat-
urday morning, Ira L. Foster, UNDER
taker for S H. Ashley. received a tele-
gram from the mother of the deceas-
ed, Mrs. Hannah w. Neri, los East
Front street, Newport. KY, asking
that the body be held for a few days.
In the telegram Mrs. Neri states that
the insurance company with whom
her son was insured, refuses to pay the
policy until the coroner's certificate
has been secured. Evidently she is
in rather Strengthened circumstances
and is relying on the insurance money
to get the remains Of her son shipped
home.
Mr.. Foster secured a copy of the
verdict given by the coroner's jury and
this. together with newspaper clip
pings of the affair were mailed today.
Up to the present time nothing has

Saloon Opposition League Asks This Election Is One of the People of Jefferson County, Is It the Governors?
 Pertinent Questions for Thinking Voters

Citizens of Jefferson county, Is this election an affair of yours or has 1t become a personal matter of the gov crnor of this state? Will you stand for his unwarranted interference?
 Why did the governor in person en- ter the campaign, enter into confer ences with the leaders of the saloon ists and direct their plan of campaign?
 Why did the governor try to assume the authority of the probate judge of this county and attempt to force him to change the form of ballot?
 Why in a mad effort to stem the tide of defeat are the distinguished orator friends and advisers of the governor called from sfar into the contest? P. q. Bowman, back tax commissioner and right hand bower of the present ad ministration Thomas NJ. Rogers, the governors secretary; Lon Greer from Choccolocco, one of his convict inspec- tors, are supplantng the Fleeing Squadron" Shame on them to snatch the cup of defeat from the hands of Isadoro Shapiro, the 22-year-old won der from Yale. and pr.

about the BLIND TIGER, as familiar with him as they claim to be.
 As last extremity the governor has given Signor Victor Hanson letter assuring us that he will appoint good men as excise commissioners to run the whisky trust.
 THE FACT THAT IT IS NECES- SARY FOR THE GOVERNOR TO GIVE ASSURANCES THAT HE WILL MAKE SAFE. APPOINTMENTS IS SURE PROOF THAT THE PEOPLE HAVE DOUBTS FROM PAST EXPERI- ENCEs AS TO HIS JUDGMENT AND WISDOM.

will arrange to meet you at any other time and place that you may name. The other terms of your challenge are satisfactory.
 Tt would give me great satisfaction to get chance at you before the peo- pie on the iniquitous Smith bill, with Its liquor trust excise commits sion, it's thirty-room hotels and it's other evils. According to rumor, the leaders of the saloonists have hesi- tated about the wisdom of using you on the stump; they seem to fear you will hurt their cause. It was our in- tention not to meet in joint discussion anyone, without they had papers of credit from the officers of the oppos- ing organization; however, so anxious am I to get joint discussion with you that I will waive this in your case and will be glad to meet you at any time or any place before the close of the campaign.
