years longer, before he could have
his task.

Once more, during the recent leg
lslature, when the Daylight Saloon
bill was up for final passage by the
state senate, Grafton divided the
state into two districts; got busy over
the long distance telephones; began
to call up prominent men iii every
county in the state and urge them to
send kilograms to those members
who were wavering in their decis-
ions. In a few minutes messages

classed as doubtful by the secret
geferee who was keeping Grafton
posted, averaged a telegram apiece
every five minutes for over two
hours. The effect a electrical. The
vote was taken. Grafton won-34 to

bill inside of one hour; the attorney
general sent kilograms to all Of the
mayors throughout the state, and at
nine O'Clock of that very day all the
saloons of the state closed their
doors, and retired to peaceful SUM

such a campaign.
G%rafton's notion about the future
Of the saloon problem is best told in
an extract taken from an address
which he recently delivered:

Dir. Grafton is a master of all

Here is where he draws the line. He
has melody and rhythm in his soul.

give crude poetfcal expression to

Elsewhere in this issue of the Climax
will be found the announcement Of Mr..
Robert B. Terrill for reelection to the
Office of County Court Clerk Of Madison
county, subject TO the action of the
Democratic party. Mr.. Terrill is too
well and favOrably known to need an
introduction to the Democracy of Madi-
son county, since his life has been spent
here among our people and his valiant
services to the Democratic party have
been recognized by all who assist in
carrying the banner 10 victory from
year 10 year. No man can question Mr.
ferril's Democracy nor his fidelity 10
his friends, and the trust imposed in
him, two years ago, when he was elect
ed TO the Office of County Clerk was a
deserved reward for valued services
rendered. His eminent ability and fit
ness for the Office were chief factors ia
his last race, and having discharged
faithfully every obligation during the
Two years Of occupancy, Mr.. Terrill has
no hesitancy in calling on his party for
an endorsement by re-electing him to a
second term, a time-honored custom
with the Democracy Of Madison county,
when a servant has been true 10 every
trust and obligation. He invites the
sIricteSt review of the duties as he has
discharged them, and solicits the sup
port of every Democrat in Madison
county.
