The so-called progreSsives who are
trying to find an Reuse for their op-
position to Thomas Sterling, would
not have supported him at all. The
boys who are finding fault with
Mr.. S%terling's clean cut progressive
republicaniSm, are either owned or
controlled by the standpat Influences
that own r. j. Gamble, and Gamble
is going around the state picking up
suckers with promises. Gamble is the
most thoroughly selfish politician the
people have ever had anything to do
with. He has betrayed his best friends
heretofore and will betray all who
give him a chance in the future.
Gamble is of the class Of men who
has no use for the people only at cleo

Another case of too much booze

Tuesday night when his team ran

and when found was semi-conscious.
This man is on the black list. He
cannot obtain liquor at any OF the
saloons or drug stores in this county
because society holds them irresponS-
ible when he cannot control his ap-
petite. The freedom of our law gives
us the privilege to buy and drink
LIQUOR so long as we stay within due
bounds. but when individuals can't
control themselves then it becomes
the duty of society to see they do.
