Officer Evans fell on the rough ice and
sustained concussion of the brain. The
condition caused further delay and the
surplus food was consumed. On Feb

Lawrence. (Monmouth's vote last November
was: Taft SO; Roosevelt 141.)
Mr.. Lawrence says he doesn't expect to be
elected. Yet he remains in the fight. For
what? To assist Mr. Pattangall, free-trader,
or to defeat Mr.. Peters, protectionist? Mr..
Lawrence claims to be protectionist.
The issue in this campaign is clearcut-pro-
lection versus free trade. Pattangall stands for
free trade; Peters for protection. Is it possible
that protectionists enough will vote for Law
renee to insure the election of Pattangail?
Think this over.
Mr.. Lawrence says that the people will hold
the minority responsible for the election of an
anti-democrat. Reports from all corners of the
district indicate that Mr.. Lawrence and his
followers will be that minority. Are they
ready to assume the responsibility?

if he got beyond the borders of the

warrant was issued charging him with
conspiracy, which s an extradictable
offense, and reward of $500 was offered
for his capture. He was arrested Tues

Sheriff Kelsey of Colebrook, N. H., who
had recognized him on train and pur-
sued him by auto into Canada. 1t is now
