To the Public---
Most everybody thinks that
the bakers use dope for baking.
Now I can prove different. Last
week when the State Inspector
was here we got the highest points
for Quality, Purity and Cleanli-
ness that any bakery in Wahpe.
ton ever received before or now.
Why Is It? Because we buy the
highest priced goods on the mar.
kef for baking purposes. Il you
don't believe it come in any day,
week or month in the year and be
convinced. Remember everything
manufactured or sold from this
place is guaranteed to comply
with all pure food laws. We make
our own ice cream.
Yours for business,

eLYNx AND WHITMAN.

~ ISTRICT ATTORNEY WHITMAN. OF New York
- county is not to have the glory OF conducting
Statewide graft investigation. Governor Giynn not
only has refused to him commission Special
Deputy Attorney General TO make such probe, but
even has gone far to question Mr.. WhItman's
motives in asking for such commission. The Gov
ernor asserts hlunty that IL Mr. Whitman thinks that
by such political play he embarrass him, he Is
mistaken He adds that designation the one
requested by the New York county district attorney
would be a reflection upon the district attorneys In
the other counties In the State. He suggests that
Mr. Whitman any evidence he may have Of
wrong-dong in other districts, to the end that the
prosecutions may be made by the regular district at
torneys
Such attitude by the Governor must be exceed
ingly comforting to Tammany Hall and its bagmen
and favored contractors who have been thrown into
panic by the convictions already obtained by Mr. Whit
man upon evidence placed in his hands by John A.
Hennessy Governor Sulzer's investigator. With Mr..
Whitman and Mr.. Hennessy turned loose in the State
there is telling how many Tammany politicians
and their friends would be sent to prison The pub
lie has confidence in the official integrity independence
and fearlessness of Mr.. Whitman. AS much cannot
be said Of OF the other district attorneys
