THE STRANGER LEFT

The first OF the week stranger came to
town and began putting up posters against
the Prohibition Amendment. One or
two OF the local merchants allowed him
to stick up posters but after they found
out what they were, ordered him to take
them down. Then he began to put them
up outside, and was followed up by Chief
OF Police Gamer and ordered not to put
them up on public property, telephone
poles, etc This stranger then finally got
few OF them up at the tennis court
ground, but these were soon torn down.
He was guyed and given the laugh by
several of those who saw him. He soon
found out that the people didn't want
this kind OF literature, 80 he tore up the

Failure to Vote.

When less than half the voters show

affairs OF government unless it be to find

starts with the primaries, not at the

been as serions as it is tonight This is
miners, number OF whom came here
from the west, together with local miners
to place lot of ammunition rifles and
machine guns in the mountains just west
Of the western boundary of the martial
law district on Cabin creek. 1t has also
been discovered that the headquarters OF
these agitators or anarchists is in this
city.
It was learned early this morning that
it has been the plan to fclean up" the
militia tonight but the would-be assassins
discovered they had not acquired enough
ammunition for their guns. to carry into
execution their plans in the event the
military forces should be thrown togeth-
err before their purpose was accomplished.
Until Governor Gtasscock sncceeied in
getting the business men along the Kan

firearms these anarchists had their head
Quarters at Boomer and later at Mont
gomery Those places being small the
activity OF the law abiding citizens made
it practically impossible for these men TO
longer continue their work in that sec

headquarters they have been using steam
launches under cover of night to convey
their ammunition and rifles to point
near Cheylan and thence into the noun
tains The military authorities are
aware of the movement but have not
been able to catch the men.

BEXAR ANTS ARE SORE At C0LOUIT7;
CALL HIM WEAK KHEED LEADER

San Antonio. Tex, Aug. 17.-When
governor Colquitt inserted into the
state Democratic platform the plank
for the early closing of saloons, he
started something in his own camp.
Governor COlqUitt has come in for
no little amount of censure in BeXar
county for his compromising attitude. g"
as it was termed here. The BeXarites
claim they are entitled to more con-
sideration" at the hands of Coiqui t
since they have always given him a
big majority in his campaigns and they
now call him weak kneed on account Of
his early closing platform.
Its a fight to a finish" said one,
"and as the pros are not giving one
inch, what's the reason that the ants
should do so? The next thing the pros
will be wanting will be o'clock closing
for the saloons. If COlquitt was made
of the right kind of fighting material,
he would have declared for an all
night saloon. and the result would have
been the same As it is. the pros have
practically won victory over the weak
leader of the ants, who is playing di-
rectly into the hands of the pros. This
is an issue that has to be fought out
