Coupons and Trading Stamps

II read in the Corner letter signed G.
B. D., after which you asked for doc
uments in the case.
I'VE wish to state that we consider. that
there is a great difference between eou-
pons for which premiums are given and
trading stamps. When a manufactures
puts coupons on his package he has some-
thing additional to draw the trade be-
sides the quality of his goods, and he helps
the retailer by satisfying the desire of the
housewives for something of this kind to
such an extent that the retailer should not
find trading stamps necessary.

every part of the Third district. Mea
in the interest of Judge Peters cand-
dacy have ascertained the sentiment
in every county and several counties
have been toured and eanyassed. In
every county there is everything to
warrant the prediction of Judge

Lawrence strength even in Washing

very marked. In Machias. the high

Of observers vary from 10 to % votes.
PROFESSIONALLY there is some Demo-
cratic strength there for Peters. The
travelling statesmen make the same
prediction.
The western part of Washington
county shows practically no Lawrence
strength whatever. There are good
many Progressives there, men who
voted for Roosevelt, but they are
practically all for Peters. They say
there appears 10 be no reason why
they should not be especially as, from

Mr.. Lawrence went to Harrington,
the other day. and il was suggested -
him that the IS men who voted for
Mr.. Roosevelt, last fall, were all fer
Mr.. Peters. Mr.. Lawrence attempted
to dispute this, but upon being re-
quested to look around and see if he
could identify any man who would
vote for him, failed to do so. In Col

was one man who was going to vote
for Lawrence. This man, Charles
Grant, felt SO badly about the accu
sation, that he walked five miles to
tell member of the committee tina;
he was going to vote for Peters and
that the report that he was goins
to vote for Lawrence was not a fact.
In Steuben, there was short time
ago a slight amount of Lawrence
feeling but, last Thursday. an investi-

that the reports of Lawrence strength
had faded. A former member of the
